So, is the karma system making a return?

Regretfully, if you choose to post on a football related forum, I think that you have to accept that others may not share your view of the world and it is inevitable that you will be trolled and/or abused.
Of course, I think we mostly, all accept that people will have differing views from time to time but the kind of behaviours and approach, were like the types I mentioned above. I don't accept that the TEF is as bad as places like Twitter or FB for absolute trollsnotting. There is at least some level of decorum, even if shrouded in a swathe of testes. Which my point being I found it odd, almost unhealthy that accounts would cunt point something that had zero provocation (congratulating someone on their new child or getting a new job) and even more oddly so when there had been a prolonged hiatus. I think you're intelligent enough to understand the difference? But only in a TEF way. I've got used to it. Thank you I used to give SRK a negative point every time I logged on, or whenever I saw him post, whatever it was. Because he irritated me, intensely. I’m 100% sure he couldn’t have given a flying fuck so it was kind of pointless.
Probably best it’s been removed to be honest.
I remember you saying BO but SRK and those similar accounts purely only posted to provoke and wind up others. Whilst I'm not a promoter of 'an eye for an eye', the known serial troll accounts (not talking posters who slip into an afternoon of trollsnottery on occasion) duly deserved a good ''cunting'' and being told that they weren't welcome. Especially when overstepping boundaries regarding racism, homophobic comments and other stuff that really should have escaped them once they left school (if they ever went). Then again, if someone is still shitting yellow at 40+ then they won't change. Unfortunately. Why, so people can whine that they're not getting enough likes?

I’d bring the Karma score back because in all honesty I think some posters have been writing some absolute tripe on this forum over the last few weeks and many threads have been hi-jacked and just turned into a fucking chit chat between certain members . They’ve not even gone off topic the usual TEF way, it’s just waffling between certain posters and it always seems to be the same few. I seem to have to scroll through a lot more bollocks than normal to actually find something related to the thread I’m in.

Agreed. Can we keep transfer rumours to bloody rumours. I get all excited when I see a new post has arrived. Have we got the new striker we so badly need? No it’s some shitty chit chat bollox that only 2 people are involved in.

Just from my limited perspective, I was not bothered about getting c*** points even for, using that word again, benign posts. I see it as part and parcel of posting to this type of forum - particularly as a relatively new member who is not part of the 'old TEF clique'. I am not sure that one's karma score was/is worth taking to heart.

It's like one of those awkward nights out where you somehow ended up in the wrong crowd. Stuck with characters that can't handle their booze, making jokes that aren't funny but laugh hysterically regardless while oblivious that everybody around them is bored to tears and really not having a good time. The type that think they're being cool because they're being irritating in an 'oh, what are you like?' kind of way but the reality is that they're being irritating in a 'for the love of god, PLEASE just go away', kind of way. You know --- those nights where you are really thinking about sneaking off and going elsewhere. I've actually found myself visiting that facebook group in the last few days. Hopefully it'll pass.

Can we have a like option instead? This is what I want. I've toyed with making such a thing work, but my time bank is low at the moment and I want to migrate to a spangly new server first.

Its not a dig at new posters though is it? It’s a dig at posters who are hijacking threads with absolute nonsense.

I imagine this to be what it's like being stuck in a fucking room with Jedward.

Is it because web forums peaked in about 2005 and the youth of today have better things to do?
