If arguments aren't moderated, then they would just boil over onto the main forum. Letting things run would end up with members permanently at each others throats. There is a difference between banter and arguments, and it's the arguments that can get ugly on forums. This forum has much more of a social club feel to it, where the members are predominantly friendly and welcoming, and most of this comes from the forum having a strict policy. It might be detrimental to the forum if the goal posts were changed. Having a 'no nonsense' approach is what makes this forum a great place to hang out. Do we really want it to become like Blue Kipper?

Agree with this actually.

Whilst it is tremendous reading when 'popcorn' moments occur, i do like the forum the way it is

TX Bill, you really want to bring the Rivalries forum to GOT? Really? Are you sure about this? Just by creating it, Seagroves might show up

Well my only thought was that a thread that was about to get closed would get moved there so that each poster could try to get the "last word" in before it gets shut down. I'd think that it would generally be used for threads that are so far off topic, that you could change the thread title from "Transfer Rumor - Moutinho" to "Ass Bandits II" and no one would notice.

But, no, I wouldn't want some sort of sub forum that is specific to bashing the crap out of each other.

As soon as a thread got lashed in there, the hyenas would be all over the show.

It would be boss, sort it.

Just to illustrate, if you haven't been over to BigSoccer, or haven't found this sick, twisted and putrid (but FUN!!) corner of it... this is what I was referring to...

Segroves is a BigSoccer poster now on about his ... what? 3rd? 4th? account after bannings. A finer combination of bile, bitterness and eloquence I'm not sure can be found. "Go die in a fire" is his favorite advice

Heh, you'd love to know that Halewood Blue has commandeered the Everton forum on Big Soccer under the guise "Sticky Toffee."

Has been a complete ass (as you do) to every one on there.

Unfortunately, Big Soccer is quite a bit lighter in terms of moderation so I could see him sticking around and either driving everyone away from the forum or set the record for being on the most ignore lists in history.

Either way, it's been a sad sight since he found the place. The only Everton forum left that hasn't banned him.

The most recent spat he got into was with a guy who's been posting on that forum for quite awhile. He said that Sticky (Halewood) was easily the worst person he'd ever interacted with on the internet.

Now think about that for a second. We (all of us) run into all sorts of types on this forum and others so for someone to say "worst EVER !!!," you've got to be a serious mental case.

But yeah, we don't get on so well. Funny part is that I didn't ban him from here. Someone else did. He's also a strident anti-American. I mean every post has some sort of snarky comment towards those of us who reside in the States.

An asshole of the highest order.
