Boostin' Kev Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just read a couple of threads where the posters were looking for some actual advice only for the usual suspects to clog the thread with their predictably pish responses. I saw a forum before where everybody used to wind each other up constantly but if someone created a thread with *srs* at the end of it and anyone didn't respect it then they copped a week's ban. There must a huge amount of knowledge amongst the large member base here, it should be encouraged to be shared imo without having to filter through endless posts of awful attempts at humour. Would add something more practical to this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've seen this too. On a forum populated near exclusively by morons, who then used it exclusively to take the piss. Deefiant's recent Dog Attack thread is proof it's unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortar Bored Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I agree, but it's hard not to take the piss / laugh when some posters ask advice on utter shite, Girl A, Girl B etc. I think if the .srs was adopted, you'd still have people posting Facebook style seeking shite but with .srs at the end.

Dee Man Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 This would probably be the last place on the planet I would come if I had a serious question and even if I did I would be sorely disappointed if the first page wasn't full of piss taking.

speccy1984 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Should have used *srs* in the thread title to avoid any disrespect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The depression thread is a good example of some wallopers trying to ruin things. I don't think the folk on there minded a joke, but some of it was pretty out of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Whilst I agree with the OP's sentiments I think each thread finds it's own way based on its own merits rather than whether it was started with serious intentions or not. In addition, it goes without saying that the OP is one of the most tedious posters on P&B and is one of the worst offenders when it comes to dragging a thread to it's knees.

Ned Nederlander Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Falkirk fans above thinking they've finally found an opportunity to release a grudge or two. Pointing out that a thread asking for seriousness was started by a serial poster of shite is hardly realeasing a grudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 If I'd been served up as many times as you two have been on Hibs threads this season, it's possible I'd act similarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 If I'd been served up as many times as you two have been on Hibs threads this season, it's possible I'd act similarly. The irony of countering my serious post with pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
