Can we please have it moderated so that you need over a certain amount of posts before you can start polls???

Something like 500?

So people don't continually abuse the system and stuff it for the rest of us.

I concur.

I hate the ammount of twat pols out there these days.

11 polls on front page of AF.

8 started by people with less than 500 posts.

great idea...that would mean i could focus on cutting and pasting articles from FFT, goal.com, BBC football, TWG, FOX Sports, etc until i hit 500 posts then i could start polling you guys again.

;)

At least that way you might actually contribute something to this forum for the first 500 posts.

I agree actually. Maybe its time to remove the poll option again?

edit: Maybe I should make a poll to gauge interest in that idea....

:lol: Do it.

:oops:

:lol: You can do better than that!

Fucking TWGers. Fucking spastics.

Should just ban the retards abusing the polls. They are all moronic TWGFer's so it's not like we'd lose anything if they get banned.

Meanwhile i get banned, sorry, suspended for call you (and a few others on here) idiots yet you can get away with foul language and insulting spastics:shock:

He got me to laugh with his swearing so I consider it fair game.

*insert yawn smilie here*

edit to add: thanks for wanting to see me banned.

Why don't the mods ban you for offensive language? You don't like change much do you..

So despite it being obviously against forum rules, because it makes you laugh it's all good? Poor form..

yer should be a ban on polls by say less then 500 posts, the lack of creativity by people laltly making up polls is semi-retarted

Why don't you just ban polls from certain people?

You may notice that the option of starting a poll has been removed.

Blame all the users who abused it... starting now.

good one dickheads

once again, more abuse no bannings.

meanwhile mods will act on a few harmless polls posted for a few lolz:roll:

i guess cut an paste it is.

Seems like the only option..

Sly, we know you got banned you don't need to constantly try and get others banned for small things for some sort of revenge.

I guess you are not aware of the Forum Rules so you missed the point of my post.



This is why I made my comment and it was in jest. I agree that copping abuse isn't any fun but either is the fact that forum privileges for all participants have been compromised due to the immaturity of a select few new forumites.

The ability to create polls was revoked by mods for over 6 months IIRC and has only recently been re-instated. Due to trigger happy new forumites which includes your contributions), existing users who waited for the privilege for six months (or however long it has been) are now again unable to create polls.

This frustration is where the abuse has come from.

Also I am unaware at why it is so hard for you to post in existing threads, or threads you create yourself. Creating your own polls and 'copy and paste' threads as you have mentioned simply to increase your post count seems largely pointless. Contributing to this forum is not only done by creating new threads but by contributing to existing ones.

I speak for only myself when I say that I think you need to raise your game if you want to get something more out of this forum.

Anth, re your first comment, "no swearing unless for rhyming purposes and that it is guaranteed to make at least 90% of all people here laugh out loud.".. How does "Fucking TWGers. Fucking spastics.

Should just ban the retards abusing the polls. They are all moronic TWGFer's so it's not like we'd lose anything if they get banned." rhyme?

I started one poll and that was in jest because of all the other irrelevant, pointless polls that were popping up. If you looked at my posts, you would actually see that I have posted in threads (actually contributing to them as well), and have not done any copying and pasting.

i laughed at that and im sure 905 of the other people here would laugh too,

BUT IT DOESN'T RHYME!!! :roll:

That rule is not literal and if it were policed we would need a poll about each post with swearing to check if 90% of people here laughed out loud. Now there is something you poll lovers might be interested in.

My comment regarding getting more out of this forum was in response two these two posts.

I was only joking anth.. If I actually meant it, don't you think I would have already started doing it? I have nothing against copying and pasting, often it can result in good lively discussion. It just seems that here the articles are posted to closely together, and some get missed, resulting in threads with no responses, or one or two at most.. That's my only problem with it!

I didn't since I am by default a TWGFer as well, so frankly it was just pathetic.

I suggest you post more in those threads.

Do what the plebs do and just quote and put a +1 beneath it.

Even better quote somebody and say QFT.
