Spicing Up Ab

[naomi24]

Complaints that AB, and in particular the News section is being commandeered by a few people obsessed with Brexit, Boris, and the perceived ills of the government, abound, so here's an idea. If enough of us post other, unrelated news, that which is either sending us to sleep or driving us to distraction will no longer dominate. If we don't make the effort to change it, it won't change, so how about it?

cam I be really naughty and unmimsy?

I thought that Trolls were madmen who deliberately used insulting and provocative language, to insult, vex widows and orphans and give themselves an odd sort of perverse pleasure. They even kick small furry animals.

no, that is TTT ! - ter daah !

a special section for any posts criticising the way the country is run would help protect the tender sensitivities of those outside. It could be called the Gulag.

People will inevitably post questions and comments that annoy other people. They are often intended to do just that.

Unfortunately, If it doesn't contravene the much quoted Site Rules, there's nothing that can be done about it, even by frustrated mods.

The first & foremost way to make AB attractive is to get rid of the donation pop-ups (for me on every page).
AB should remove itself from the 'powr' set-up & find a way to ask for contributions by some other method.

Having done that, we should then have beauty contest with a prize of £10. which I'm sure naomi will win & spend wisely on dog food :0)

You’re not quite as barking as we thought, are you Chum.

[douglas9401]

I doubt the proposition will win a lot of support.

[Zacs-Master]

That’s not even the same pedigree as my joke!

[douglas9401]

Makes me a happy chappie all the same.

[Zacs-Master]

That just takes the biscuit.

I am starting to get a little tired of this site ,and all the insults that go over my head. Might start thinking of handing my notice in.

Had Gully or one of the other 'outcasts' written this thread and made as many snipes as has been made against them, then MODS it would have removed it.

Instead MODs are actively taking part in the campaign against some users and the Eds seem to be happy for it to remain.
Not for the first time blatant bullying is allowed to remain on this site.

09.52 It's a shame really I have made a lot of friends on this site Andy.
But the insults are getting worse by the day.

[Khandro]

The trouble is gully, that you seem to be endlessly, simply trying to provoke which is seen by most as being hostile.
Take a look at your own list of questions & see.

[Redhelen72]

Khandro that advice could also be aimed at you

[gulliver1]

Do you think if I just changed my user name It might help?

[vulcan42]

At least Khandro will discuss and that what this site is about isn't it, ask/answer a question and discuss it?
Most of gullivers contributions are statements, made to annoy others(trolling) and very rarely discusses anything.

[Redhelen72]

No Gully - there will always be those out there that will pick at what ever you do - thats how they get their kicks
