It's every fucking day, everyone talks about racism and politics and bombings and murders and how shit the police are and whatever fucking else is on their political agenda...... this isn’t the place. You wouldn’t believe the amount of complaints the mods get about these issues.
This used to be a fucking Liverpool Football Club Discussion forum, believe it or not. Well, it was when I joined it two years ago anyway.
If it was up to me, I would delete threads like this after the first post. Sorry Red Baron, but it’s got fuck all to do with anything this thread really has it? Am I supposed to ‘moderate’ this? It's not up to me though, I would run the risk of upsetting the other mods who are maybe more tolerant than me about this issue. They might say live and let live, just see how the thread goes and we’ll keep an eye on it. You'd struggle to even find a post on the Michael Shields case from me. I go as far as posting my opinions on Hillsborough. That's about as political as I get on here.
But why should I keep an eye on it? I visit this site for a bit of Liverpool FC chat. If I wanted to talk about racism, Id’ go to a fucking racism message board, or a politics message board.
This is ruining this forum though and I feel it is my responsibility to see that does not happen.
The same members are responsible every day for threads like this, you know me, I love talking b*ll*c*ks on here as much as the next person, but I cannot stand the way this place is used as a political and racial discussion forum. Really, I have fucking had enough. I have spent twenty minutes trawling through PM’s this morning over some shit that went down last night. None of it was about football, it was either about racist comments of the thread about the murdered WPC. Plus a couple of spamming pricks who I will mention later today probably.
Where’s all the football chat gone? I’ve been spending less and less time posting on here over the last five or six weeks cause there’s fuck all being spoken about, and then when I do offer an opinion on a FOOTBALL related matter, it gets fucking lost under all the politics and racism.
What the fuck, people? This used to be good on here but there are some members who have thousands of posts to their name and about 1% of them might be about Liverpool Football Club.
Here’s where someone will dig up some old s*i*e posts of mine now and try to say “Practice what you preach, you wanker etc…..”. Try it. There are probably thousands of s*i*e posts by me. I'm not saying there aren't. See if I give a fuck though. What I guarantee is you will not find ONE about politics or racism. Not fucking ONE.
And the mods also don’t appreciate being told to hang our heads in shame or consider our positions as moderators if we don’t do something about these threads that are being started, or the posts contained therein. The responsibility does not stop at our fucking door on every single issue on this forum.
Here’s a far out idea that just might work though.
Instead of complaining to the moderators about these threads, DON’T FUCKING START THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
STICK TO THE FOOTBALL.
Well said JMC, Last night when LA started that topic, I pmd JBG and St Mick straight away and told them to lock it, cause I knew it would kick off again.
I know Ive contributed to that topic more than once and some may have not have liked my opinion on it, but if it was locked and deleted then like in other topics, I would'nt have thrown my motty in.
I never harrass the MODS on here to lock topics and complain about members, but since LA has joined this forum there has been nothing but arguments between fellow posters, he is ok in LFC chat, but its his other issues that rub people up the wrong way.
May I suggest that in the future any topics like this one or anything thats going to cause problems be deleted a.s.a.p.
Oh and for the record I am not innocent in all this far from it but I dont claim to be either.
