paranoid android Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Who is Bobby Walker and why is chat of him not allowed on JKB? One of Hearts' all time greatest players, and, up until quite recently, our most capped player. Why he's not allowed to be mentioned? Now, there's a question! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Basically the TalkHearts boys who still have accounts on JKB trolled the absolute **** out of the guy who runs the London Hearts website over his ludicrous obsession with a guy that last played for Hearts when Kaiser Bill was getting a toe up his arse from the allies. Therefore, no more Bobby Walker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny for about 5 minutes as they pulled him up for being overly reverential then the joke was run into the ground and steamrollered by a pack of boys who think everything they do is original and hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Or Bobby Walker. Also, the moderation goes a good bit beyond ''the odd over zealous rule' mentioned by Martin. There are quite a few egos that went out of control, the locking of the independence debate thread for 24 hours was off the chart in terms of batshit mental self importance but I think that was subsequently recognised. The best forums are moderated in a balanced way, I'm still of the opinion that for the most part JKB has achieved that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, no more Bobby Walker. He was no doubt a great in his era, but he'd probably struggle to hold down a place in a pub team in today's game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he died when he was about 50 is maybe testament to why players no longer have a brown ale and ten woodbines at half time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best forums are moderated in a balanced way, I'm still of the opinion that for the most part JKB has achieved that. Moderation should be applied equally to all members - that wasn't the case on JKB. I don't think you know the full story, Martin, and neither do I, to be fair, but I've heard enough for it to be a cause for concern. The locking of the independence debate was the tip of the iceberg, and the attempt to shut down talk-hearts was just vindictive and quite nasty in how they went about it. As someone was heard to say, it was 'some caper'. Anyway, I hope you're good, health-wise and otherwise, Martin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, the single fact that they're deleting the merest mention of a Hearts legend on a Hearts forum is totally bizarre. It's also proof that they're rattled. Twisted shower of power-hungry shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also proof that they're rattled. Twisted shower of power-hungry shite. of course that's ridiculous. Moderators do seem to be rather too involved in personal vendettas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say chief, I've never really got involved in any of the background politics so I can only go from my own experience. Health is up and down but overall coping with things given the circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanW1874 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Were folk on Talk Hearts not posting the personal details of Kickback members? That's the story I heard anyway and partly why KB threatened to take legal action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gordon Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Were folk on Talk Hearts not posting the personal details of Kickback members? That's the story I heard anyway and partly why KB threatened to take legal action.It's a few of the more prominent Kickback posters that get up to those sort of shenanigans IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGR Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 TalkHearts is okay, but has potential. JKB used to be okay. That's about it, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
