Re: CCMB changes

Do posters realise what is involved in being a Mod?
I've been a Mod on a Cardiff City football forum.
It involves logging onto the forum several times a day, trying to be Solomon when there is a dispute between posters, reading through post after post making judgment calls, deciding when a post is banter or a nasty wind-up, getting abuse when deleting a post, communicating with other Mods if a decision to ban has to be made, and more - much more..
I see many cons and few pros - apart from satisfying a desire to help with the smooth running of the forum - which can be easily dissipated by the cons.

Thats why they get paid the big bucks.

On that subject, the Pompey Forum owner - when the forum had considerably more posters and views than CCMB at present - funded his trips to Pompey away games from his income from his board. He used the train to get to Cardiff. Maybe that gives some idea of the income available around twelve years ago.

Re: CCMB changes

Just had a look at the alternative forum, gone the same way as the politics forum where almost every post is by 3 off their head posters smugly agreeing with each other and calling everyone else a sheep.

S

Good points TLG. I've always believed in a place for all to come together but as we've seen over the years things can get out of hand and changes have to made.

I have been thinking about this for a few weeks now. I think a Cardiff City only board would be too restrictive, so all football would have to be included. And I also like the posters helping posters threads like asking for advice / recommendations. I think they should stay as well.

Anything else can go into another sub forum.

So do we just have one 'other' forum or keep a politics forum, a welsh forum and the alternative as we do now.

I can change the forum descriptions and if anything off topic is posted on the main board I'll move them for a period of time but if we get repeat offenders posting deliberately in the wrong place they can be better moderated or have reduced privileges.

I wouldn’t have an issue with using my “real name” but I’m not sure that that would achieve anything. Maybe somebody could explain how it would?

Re: CCMB changes

Why is an alternative forum needed? If the stuff isn't suitable for this board why is it suitable for a sub forum? Surely just the same few people look at sub forums? Just bin the sub forums. Keep all on here but single threads for glammy, great reset, covid etc...... Job done.

Re: CCMB changes

After decades of using it I gave up on this forum a few years ago because the football related threads were in a minority. I think it went downhill rapidly at the time of the Brexit debate and it's bounced along the bottom of the pond ever since. As in society at large, tolerance is seen as a sign of weakness and personal attacks the norm. A lot of posters seem to have only a passing interest in football, let alone City.

The problem has been finding an alternative for my City related news and discussion. I tried *****'s board, and there are definitely more football threads but there are other aspects of the board I really don't like I don't think I need to elaborate.

I also tried the *****'s board. That's quite good and more tolerant but the appearance is IMO awful. So I tend I come back here. Something needs to be done although I suspect there isn't the goodwill among the main "contributors" to get it back on course.

Re: CCMB changes

Maybe turn your router off if it troubles your life so bad. More to life than the internet. It's sad to think many come on here every single day wasting away hours of precious life.

Re: CCMB changes

I think the general layout is fine personally. I don't really know why people post politics threads in the main board, or why they aren't moved over more quickly. That would appear to make sense.

That said, no one probably desires a strictly rigid structure on things, and a football thread such as 'games called off for the queens death' are inevitably political too.

I've come on cardiffcity.com since about 2000 and the board since around the same time IMO (when did it start?!). Posted a lot during the rebrand, after which I have to say I lost some interest in CCFC, since 95% restored I am happy to say.

Purely football posts don't enormously interest me though. I get that in pubs, or at the game or on WalesOnline or whatever. The politics ones can be good but the level of tolerance does need to improve and there is way too much personal abuse that should be stamped out. Different opinions are great. Personal or blanket abuse is not.

I think that it is like lots of content on the internet: you, the user needs to decide how and why you are using it, and self-regulate. I use the board for Cardiff City related subjects and rarely read or contribute to other threads (maybe the odd one that catches my eye) I don’t think that is wasting time, and I suspect that lots of others use it this way too.

I can see why some people can get consumed by Twitter and even TikTok but CCMB…..? :-/

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.
