Flure Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm rarely on here these days. I'm no saint, having had some warnings and even a ban a while ago. But some of the characters who infest this board just aren't worth the effort. There used to be the occasional warmer, and that made them easy to ignore. But these days it's hard to see the wood for the warmers. If we could get rid of the argumentative, foul-mouthed trolls, there are still enough decent posters on here to make visiting here worthwhile. (it takes a bit of maturity to accept that someone who holds a different view from you isn't your enemy - and we are all supposed to be Scotland fans after all).

If his knob is as long as his posts are then the ladies are in for a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it took someone as long to snap with him. Kumnio was right. Chripper spent his whole time on here repeating the same garbage every day, it made the TA section unreadable even when he was on ignore. His posting style was always going to piss people off, even on the TV series thread he was a condescing prick Edited May 2, 2019 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I think the mods were between a rock and hard place on this one. Whilst maybe not abusive the guy was like a real life Rick out of The Young Ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 He was a condescending tadger out to noise people up. A complete troll with what seemed like a superiority complex although I'm pretty sure that was put on to get a reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I don’t necessarily disagree but I don’t think he should have been banned, people still debated with him so they are as much to blame, and I include myself in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made some good points but just deliberately tried annoy folk by repeating the same stuff dozens of times. He will be very pleased that we are talking about him (or her?).

Jim Beem Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 First and only time I’ve blocked anyone on here. Still not entirely sure Chripper wasn’t on the wind up. Can someone seriously be such a self indulgent, delusional irritant ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 He was a self indulgent pratt who ruined every thread in TA Specific. I wondered if he was all there mentally, at least the last deranged member, Khraeigh, was a laugh, this guy was just a class A knob. Why someone as superior as him, would waste time on this board, trying to challenge Scottish football, when he really should have been running the country. I maybe shouldnt have responded as I did, but he done my tits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I think it is pretty easy to spot a new troll/nuisance on here. However, it seems to take a long time for others to realise it, and they start engaging with them - giving the perpetrator fuel to carry on. And for some reason it then takes the mods even longer to realise it themselves. Chripper was one. There is another, who I have on Ignore, but they still appear to be prevalent.

(It still is but far less so.) That is what I miss about it most. It used to also provoke regular belly laughs but they are few and far between now. It is a real pity, but as someone pointed out there does not seem to be young folk coming through in anywhere near the same numbers as the old timers have dropped out. 'Social' media has taken a heavy toll blah blah blah... but 2014 was also indirectly a massive kick in the boards nuts. Aye. a lot of the old posters have just disappeared. Some came back briefly when the new board started up. The youngsters don't seem to up for a laugh as much as in the old days. Too busy looking for something to be offended about, maybe? 2008 also had a big impact. It might have been better if Rangers had won?

It might have been better if Rangers had won? Do you mean in the way it was handled on here? All the heavy handed bannings / suspensions? The fall of Rangers is undoubtedly also a massive factor in the boards decline. Edited May 2, 2019 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
