How many posters have you had to put on Ignore?
A lot of posters on here with no common sense and others who moan for the sake of,I was at Norwich where were you lot?
I can't afford Preston.
In the past this was a function on the message board which was rarely employed by members. Perhaps it's a function of the spread of social media usage, or a lack of common sense, or maybe even a combination of the two, but the message board has grown a mafia cabal who slavishly devote their posts on here to trolling other members of the board.
I have spent over three years on this board and never felt the need to put anyone on 'Ignore.' Hundreds disagreed with my opinions on various topics and I disagreed with theirs. That's what forums are for and this message board was no different. We had debates on here over the club's finances/management/ownership/accounts which went on for weeks, all of which were conducted in a perfectly normal robust way.
Now we seem to have fewer and fewer posters who are able to communicate on issues, articulate an argument, put forward a point of view or know how to robustly defend it. Instead we have some on here who have acquired all of the worst practices of various social media platforms, who employ relentless ad hominem posts and whose sole preference is to troll other members.
It's a sad reflection of the current state of this message board when a member can attract more criticism for a vest, than for holding an opinion.

Agree with a fair amount you said there but I haven't put anyone on ignore, there is one on here I am close to as I am not sure if he's a Cardiff fan.
