One positive is that we remain an open and fair place where there is a clear structure for any issues to be raised and dealt with, and compared with other sub forums we are by far the most lenient and always have been.
But is that a good thing
if it allows a lot of posters to be driven away from using the board and most importantly Huddersfield Giants posters.
I know very few people who post on these boards and have no relationship with any of them. when i come on here and other Giants sites it is because i have something in common with them and that is a love of RL and Huddersfield Giants.
i use it to find out information, share it or discuss what is happening with MY club. No matter what i think of our fans or other posters i try to not let it affect how i respond. because at the end of the day for 80 minutes a week no matter what i think of some Giants fans they are ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
i view it like that because the aim of the board quite simply is to provide a forum for people who support and want to support the Giants. Anything that is done that drives people away from that undermines this board and undermines the Giants.
when i look around the board now i wonder where the young people are, where are the female posters ( i know of one), where are the new fans. The lack of these groups should be a cause of concern for this site.
If i want an arguement or to play clever word games or show how clever i am i can do that on the sin bin. Doing that on here is not neccerssary and is counter productive. Should the mods allow a few posters to drive away many others just in the name of liberalism.
