Is it me or is the prevalence of idiot posters now getting to such a level that makes a visit here depressingly pointless.
Whilst there are lots of posters that I disagree with (and I'm sure they have a similar view to me) the recent influx of frankly infantile posts & threads lacking in both humour or valid opinion is starting to grate.
....or am I just turning into Victor Meldrew?

I think it's a modern trait that some people believe their opinion to be more important than it actually is. Many of the comments on here or other social media give a platform to opinions that wouldn't have the same legs had the comment been made in a pub or in person.

Don't think it's the people with different opinions on here that is the problem. Just the ones he post crap all the time.

It's definitely not just you. It's even more annoying when I find myself posting replies that I'd put in the above bracket.

I looked in on here yesterday and about half a dozen new threads had appeared and I think they were all drivel. I don't take offence at silly or sarcastic posts in amongst other threads, that's part of the fun of a forum, but the proliferation of threads that really don't need to be new threads is quite irritating.

On the positives... it is still more readable than any other Cobblers related social media platform (the Facebook groups are just so bad...). But completely agree with you. A lot of the good posters who used to be here have seemingly stopped and been replaced by a lot of 'infantile' posters.

Yes i agree, most of the stuff on here is drivel, 90% of the posts are just stuff that has been posted before and regurgitated year after year after year,
we need fresh blood not the same old fuddy-duddies posting misery everyday

CW you are correct in your statement and to be honest it has gotten to the point where I don't read the posts or topics started by certain people. It is time the Mods realised that these idiots(especially the ones with multiple log ins) are ruining the board and start trimming away the unwanted dross.

I agree we need to just keep the same 10 people who have over 1000 posts, who repeat the same things every season and agrue the about the same things year on year, i want to read posts that agree with what they say, i do not want anyone who disagrees,beacause if they do they should be Banned. Manowork i think Mark K will do his job asap, because this board is not serious enough, and in times of trouble we need to get, really really serious, Ps people you need to get out more........ remember just because you think its non-sense doesn't mean it is...........

Agree, the level of infantile squabbling and insult baiting on here has gone up a lot recently, I wish they would just "f' off and sort it out in the playground. It used to be a good forum, now its just down to who can chest beat loudest and longest and repeat the same stuff over and over until everyone else just gives up.

Blimey Frank never thought you would pander to Man04 by asking 'who is it'!
Not pandering Tony. The use of the words "we all know" is factually incorrect .Clarification or correction is in order, no? He has wrongly suggested in the past that I run more than one account/user at a time. Maybe he is wrong about others.

Just to clarify: the posters who are currently contributing to this board are only using single log-ins. That is as far as we are able to determine with the tools that we have available.

I agree that using 'we all know' is confusing and clouds the issue. Whether he will respond is another matter. Man04 has offered quite a few strident opinions which are often wrong. I too have teased on posters who resemble/copy your style so am sorry and apologize for this. Shrug Man04 comments off they meant to be divisive and cause confusion.
Can you apologise in English please

So basically every poster has a seperate e-mail address is the only check you have.
