CCFC FANS ONLY

Mon Feb 03, 2020 12:50 am

I feel driven to start this thread, due to it becoming increasingly difficult to engage in the conversation due to the constant drivel of a certain person,who at least 95% off members wish would disappear. However, he has made it abundantly clear this is not likely to happen!

I for one, am getting fed up of the monotony of trying to find which username to ignore and when he is put on ignore posters copy and paste his posts to their reply to him, thus making some of his posts visible to those who have chosen to put him on ignore, so defeating the object having him on ignore in the first place!

Can I ask fellow posters who have it on ignore (as soon as we realise it's him ) does it piss you off the same way?

Because unless the topic headline says for CCFC fans only (he then has no reason to involve himself ;) ) he will infest any topic he chooses to

Just me blowing off steam but I cannot be alone in feeling he is a negative we could do without. IMHO, he spoils so many threads, usually arguing with the usual posters who I wish could do the same as a lot of us (I learnt !) and stop feeding the loon. Just completely ignore him and let those posters who wish to engage with it do so, preferably in a thread dedicated to them,so leaving us to engage in more meaningful threads without them decending into nonsense

I'm not saying ban him, as he has proved that is a pointless enterprise :roll:

IMHO, certain threads should be for CCFC fans only, whilst others should be open to all. Just a thought as to how we could avoid future topics going off the rails, as they start off good but then the inevitable happens. It's like Groundhog Day on here lately :sad7: :old: :bluebird:

this thread is about him.. so although well intentioned, good luck with keeping him off it..
ive only just come from a thread where me and Allen were talking and in he jumps..its hard to ignore..
in this instance sven { think it was sven } actually deleted his post before I could press submit, so neither post is there..

Unfortunately deleting and locking is only cause of action mods can take as banning him doesn't work as you know.. best way to stop him is to keep say something he wont respond to end he leaves you alone in that thread I dont mean insults either! just tell him he is wrong in your opinion and nothing you post will change that keep repeating
until he stops or simply dont respond again. :thumbup:

Why don’t you just ignore him. Everyone responds to him which is exactly what he wants. To be honest he makes me laugh and sometimes he’s on the button. He timings me of Simon Jordon a bit. My advice would be just let him post no one respond he’ll soon be gone.

I get your point,but I posted a while ago,with the same banner header,and believe it or not,last time I looked,he stayed away from it,haven't checked if it's still on,it was the mood thread,as you must have seen,I have simply refused to talk with it,I work at Holme towers 2 nights a week,and the people I meet there interest me far,far more,it's the keeping up with the use names that's a chore,and having to see his posts,regardless of him being on ignore and as you know,whatever you say,he comes back with half,of what was said originally,to further his argument, I get your hard to ignore statement though,I've had to bite my tongue,many many times :roll: :old: :bluebird:

I do ignore him! It's other people that cannot resist responding,that's my gripe,as it makes him visible from time to time! :old: :D :bluebird:

Agreed. Everybody ignore him no matter what and he will go away, although I do enjoy reading the arguments between him and anyone who responds to him.
I personally only responded to him once but learned my lesson :roll: never again :occasion5:

Personally I can't see anything that will stop it.I was hoping that Igovenor had a trick up his sleeve but he seems to be on here at will.My view is only a coordinated plan of action will work but it would take all members to make it work.

Re: CCFC FANS ONLY

A few clowns on here even accused me of being him!!! For gods sake they are clueless. They can’t stand hearing the truth so accuse me of being that jack. What I said about the hypocrisy of our so called fans being up in arms about the Reading fans, stewards and club but still loudly sing that god awful, disgusting, pathetic version of hymns & arias about incest and paedophilia is something they don’t want to hear and it most cases are too bloody thick to understand.

It is really not that difficult. Just completely ignore his posts even if you can see them or if he responds to you. Some people just cant help themselves and it is spoiling the forum more than he is. Stop responding to him, stop mentioning him in posts and stop making threads aimed at him. You are giving him exactly what he wants, attention.

Louis, that’s exactly what I posted yesterday and again earlier today but you’re one of the posters that respond to him.
I’ve seen it regularly and just last week I think.

It won’t stop as posters just love answering and typing zz’s etc. It just feeds his illness.

He loves it of course.

I may respond to him every now and again but I don't get into these pointless conversations that go on for pages at a time. I made the point of replying 'obsessed' to posts he made that were not swansea related for a while- as he often claims he is on here to dispel swansea 'myths' created on this forum , which clearly is not true given how many threads he is in.

Also, I do not complain about him being on the forum in one thread just to get into a pointless discussion with him in another, as many people are doing. People need to totally ignore him. If they do want to 'debate' with him they can't complain about him being on here if they do. It is destroying the forum at the moment more than usual which, like you have done, I am pointing out that people need to stop replying/moaning about him.

Having him on ignore is futile,as we still see snippets of his conversation with others!! As you point out,a planned course of action could be let him have his own permanent thread,where he can shout till his hearts content, along with posters who wish to engage with him,then perhaps we could get the forum going forward,with decent debates,without having to read nonsense arguing back and fore?? Just a little suggestion :thumbup: otherwise,how do you ignore someone,when he keeps being pasted into a reply from others! It's like not speaking to someone,and every now and again,he whispers in your ears regardless :laughing5: :old: :bluebird:

The problem is you can only ignore the username, as we all know, when he has been rumbled he quickly comes up with a new guise.

I know this might sound draconian but I would make the 1st 25 - 50 posts of any new member subject to clearance by the mods.

Firstly he would hate not having his instant gratification and secondly he might actually realise his time is up.....just a thought!

Re: CCFC FANS ONLY

Mon Feb 03, 2020 6:49 pm

If everyone puts him on ignore he becomes irrelevant. You will only see his posts if you reply. Have a sticky post at top of page with his user names and everyone put on ignore when he pops up.

Re: CCFC FANS ONLY

How many new members of the forum are there daily? 90% of them must be him anyway. Let's have a week when no one new can join and shut him off at source.

try creating an ID.. you fill it in then wait ..he gets banned and 5 mins later is up and running again.. go figure.
and no its not he has a hoard of back up IDs as they are time and dated..
this Roath impersonator doesn't bug me nearly as much as the JB earlier version.. but we do need a break from both him and the roath rebellion.

It’s just a case of ignore, if he tries to hijack a thread just don’t quote or respond. If he starts a thread ignore it. If you realise it’s one of his many personalities and you have been lulled into a thread and he comes out as the big prat that he is, just go back to ignore.

He thrives on a response so don’t give him what he desires, attention.

Re: CCFC FANS ONLY

Mon Feb 03, 2020 8:03 pm

It’s Annis board.. if he asks a poster to refrain, then that should be respected.

I’ve been saying exactly this but there’s always some that respond - wez, Allen, RV, Dodo and a few more.
You’ll be lucky to stop everyone responding to him.

If Annis really wanted him permanently out I’m sure there are ways.

For the record I never directly respond to his posts, I have avoided him for years on this board and never knowingly get into conversations with it, yes I have been a bit childish the past week with the zzzzzzz's but to be honest I just had enough of coming on here and reading his self obsessed views on every other thread which over the past month have become incredibly more tedious than ever and impossible to avoid.

I think most of us have had a crossing of paths with it,I did note a bit of advice from allan,"ignore him,but don't use insults"(shortened version,then read a fewhile other threads,and pissed myself,no insults allan? :laughing5: I would rather not ever talk with it again but as you say ,and the reason for this thread, I just wish posters would refrain from quoting his posts all the time,as you say,too many threads being ruined by him,and certain posters constantly responding,c'mon lads do us all a favour,try to completely ignore it,let it converse with itself. :thumbup: :old: :bluebird:

We have a winner!

A lot of forums have this kind of rule for new members. He'll be easy to spot, even if he attempts to 'toe-the-line' and post non-negative stuff about CCFC related matters in order to get through the probation period - how?... well, he'll put nowhere near the amount of effort into creating posts that don't really express his deep lying inner craving of posting negative content. So, his initial posts during the probation period will be very short and without any real meaningful content, until he can try and surpass the newbie post count cut-off quota...easy for a mod to spot, you'd think.

That has to be the stupidest idea on so many different points. Firstly, I'm sure the owner wants to try and grow this board, how can that be done when possible new members cannot join?
Secondly, what are you going to do to stop him in the second, third week etc.?

You're right Latcher mate.

He has obvious serious issues and adds no value to this site whatsoever.

He has a definite MO and is recognised almost instantly. He should be shut down as soon as the fruitcake shows his head, and his posts deleted. The fact that what he posts (under his many guises) stays in the threads gives him satisfaction.
Let him show himself and delete away.

BTW, hope you and your family are okay out there mate? :shock:

I recognise the idea has flaws. I recognise the commercial aspect too. It would simply be a short term reprieve and a week without the distraction woukd be worth it in my book. I'm pretty disillusioned with it spoiling so many otherwise decent threads and I'm sure there are those lost to the forum altogether by the sideshow.
