Re: CCMB changes

Same here. I don't think I have anything meaningful to say about Ojo's capabilities of splitting opposition defences with through balls or Ng's lack of vowels.

Yeah, I view it as a bunch of people who support Cardiff City but they don't necessarily just want to talk about Cardiff City.

I agree the balance needs to be struck and that's a matter for people to decide themselves I guess, based on what threads get started. I can see why a load of politics ones (esp in the main board) would be annoying for many.

I love general discussions on the club itself, but the team..."so and so should play on the wing"..."no he's shit, so and so should play there instead"...I dunno..I've just never found them that interesting. But then football has always been about the day out for me; the noise, the food, the mates, my dad, now my kids, the travelling etc, which I often get more from than the result itself.

If CCMB could capture that with a little less vitriol from all sides then I'm sure it would be a happy place.

I have met a couple before, but it would be nice to meet some people from here too btw, because peoples online behaviour is always worse than it is in person and getting to know people always makes things more respectful

I've been thinking about this a lot and I think there's a lot of important points in James post.

For me, I feel all that's needed is someone to moderate the threads that get out of hand and lock them down or slap posters down because they violate some basic decencies. I'm not a fan of the new changes as I feel we're losing the soul of the board. Flitting from one to the other is actually a pain in the arse and people are missing out on some good discussions by having threads whisked off the main board and exiled to 'other stuff'. Sometimes that 'other stuff' is vitally important to the posters and it does feel like censorship at the moment.

Sure, we're pains in the arse with each other at times and the whole thing blew up in our faces recently but it had been stoked and tolerated for a long time and now I feel like I'm on the naughty step. We all knew what the problems were. We're never all going to get along all the time and even if there's heated debate, surely we're big enough to just take a time out and reflect.

I'm no f*cking angel. I can be a cranky f*cker but ultimately, I'll usually come back and try an olive branch or an apology to smooth things over. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells now, though, and that when there's very little football chatter that we're left with some fairly generic threads that, as I've mentioned, suck the soul from the board.

We're living in a world where polar views are actively encouraged and endorsed by our leaders. We've lost the ability to debate fairly but we also have to have some realism that ultimately we're a feisty bunch of CCFC supporters who look out for each other and I can't speak for anyone else but if anyone ever needs a support or a helping hand, then I don't care what we've said to each other, what their politics are or their life choices. I draw the line at neo-nazism, racism, intolerance of human rights and, as I've made it very clear, I am an active campaigner for equality. All of these things fall under the generic heading of decency in my view. I don't always live up to those things. Surely, though we don't want to end up with a sterile board that just re-hashes the same old formation debates ad nauseam?

Re: CCMB changes

Great post Citizen, we also have to remember that we’re all MORE than old enough to moderate ourselves.

Maybe introduce an, (am I being a prick)? button before you can actually post a reply to allow for that thinking time and reflection.

To be absolutely honest, you are a know-it-all fukwit wanker idiot who thinks they are better than everybody else, but in reality you are one of the most deluded posters on here.

PS You can expect my apology at around 1pm tomorrow. All the best, and have a great evening

I've been called the AntiChrist on here already this year.....tree-hugger, lefty, anorak, twat...pretty much everything really. Oh yeah, once, I was accused of squealing like a little girl because I told someone to f*ck off. I've made a fool of myself plenty of times. Sh*t happens!

See you tomorrow!
