I've been worried about this too. It seems like the 442 IT team cannot solve this problem. cannot or have no reason to ? Would've been a reason why it happened in the first place.

If that is the way I'm perceived by you, my apologies. I'm sure I have never said these things. I hope I haven't.#-o I think I'm on record as saying many posters who disagree with positions I've taken have made valid points. The fact people express different views on football, including you, are the foundation for constructive discussion. It is why I participate on 442. Hopefully, the only thing I'm dogmatic about are the tenets the FFA NC is based on and the practices we have adopted in Australia to improve our football. There are a a couple of guys who come hard at me over defending a few things who have a had a long association in football. I may appreciate their perspectives, but they may not appreciate mine because in these particular issues I may have a more persuasive position than they would like. I admit I have taken a strident stand against the phenomenon of Eurosnobism. I have also learnt that I've been wrong and have had obsolete information on certain scenarios in leagues around the world. Sorry, MVC Arsenal.#-o Edited by Decentric: 24/11/2015 12:23:00 PM

Thats a shame. I always liked coming here more than just going to team specific forums because you had multiple fans across epl and a-league with there point of view. Big events like Berishas Grandfinal dive would go on for weeks on end. It was fun. I have met a few people on here and they have all been good guys. Still run into Scouse Roar by accidnet nearly every time Im in brisbane. For me, the current pool of posters on the whole is ok, but it is the deluge of multis that is choking this place. There not even clever multis that question or provoke discussion. They are sad parodies of people trying to get a cheap argument because trolling is cool lulz. They have become more frequent lately and we cant expect Erebus, Pala and Joffa to be here all the time. This is the only reason I think we need more mods was to stem this crap trend. But KA has a point some of these crap multis are existing posters that want to play a character just to attack/troll other people. weak.

It is your reactions to one another that is causing the problem, not the mods. There is only so much they can do. They mod too hard, you complain. They mod with a lighter touch, you complain they're not hard enough.
This forum is what you guys make it. If you choose to make it feral, there's only so much the mods can do about that - and as such there's only so much I can do about it other than shut it down altogether.
Alternatively you could all try taking a few deep breaths before you rush to reply to someone, or start a new thread, or a new multi.
Otherwise, pretty soon it's going to be one guy talking to himself – or you'll just get a 404 error when you next try to access it.
Your call.
Fair enough. I think the mods do a good job but just seems like only a handful are 'active users' now days.
