Can we at least have the upvote?

I used to post multiple times a day on here but over the last few months I feel the forum has been almost hijacked by a few incredibly negative posters who want to criticise the club, players and fellow forum members nonstop. I post rarely now but still read some threads. I don’t believe in over moderation but if this place is going to remain civil, constructive and positive it needs moderators who have the temerity to moderate consistently to a standard.

Couldn't agree more. I've been trying not to repsond to the death riders, instead letting downvotes do the work when I think someone is throwing their toys out of the cot. It means I don't get in an argument but let my disagreement be known.
I'd like the both down and up votes to stay.

How are you letting your disagreement be known if your name isn't attached ....

And I just love the term deathrider ......maybe some of us see the problems ...and where this all going to eventually all end up .....and until you fully lose a side you have backed ( at least with Balmain and Wests you still have something you can gravitate to ) you have no idea how painful it actually is

That is why I lose it .....because I still can't get over the fact my BRL side the Wests Panthers are dead .....died 4 years after going back to back in 92/93 ...a club I spent 3 years at in senior football ....supported from the age of 2 .....

Because that is where we are heading if we don't turn everything around .......

There's people who are upset with the way the club is going - I get that. But then there are people who seem to see everything that the club does as bad; and every post is complete negativity.
There is no balance in viewpoint, there is no discussion - it's just a platform for endlessly venting on someone. I don't have the time or motivation to write umpteen pages about my viewpoint, especially if it's just endless moaning and finger pointing about something I have no control over. Balanced criticism is one thing but endless finger pointing and constant negativity are deathriding as much as you dislike the term. It almost seems some people thrive on such things - I don't - life is too short.
Thinking people downvoting equals can't see problems? I think a lot of people can see problems but they don't need to focus on pinning blame on certain people. People want the club to be successful but can't see the point about stating the same over and over again.
I also think a large number of people don't post because either they feel they don't want to add to the criticism that's already stated, or they feel have nothing further to add that hasn't already been said. Simply repeating it is meaningless. Upvoting or downvoting, on the other hand, let's you show agreement or the alternative.
For the record - I'd be happy to have my name attached to downposts but the function wasn't set up that way apparently.

Bring back the up/down voting system, we are not children.

Apparently a lot of people on the forum get upset by a little red thumbs down 😂

They should've kept the upvote button and just removed the downvote button if people get so triggered by it. Lets me know if a post is worth readying, sometimes I just wanna upvote someone without responding as well

Yep, missing the upvote

Just give the mods the power (if they don’t already have it) to step in and shut down posts or posters who are stepping over the line with consistent derogatory or inflammatory posts.

KUL, keep the up and down voting mate.
Just don’t make the down vote anonymous.
It appears occasionally it may have been used incorrectly.
Add another button, “report” which when clicked has a pop up box for the poster to type their issue. This will also take pressure off the mods. You obviously know a lot more about this stuff than I do, just trying to add some positive thought to the solution?

Oh I see it. Does anyone know what that means?
Im thinking about an option on every post which would give the Mod a direct link to the "offending" post?

Nope. I was wrong. Thats TAG I assume for anyone to use if you want to follow something. A bit like google words?

Wow.

The forum has in recent times gone down hill and I for one have certainly reduced posting.

IMO there a number of reasons and it’s primarily from the top down. Mods do a great job and KUL should have had their backs with the bans or steps they take to keep this place civil and ticking over. The mods shouldn't have aired the dirty laundry on the forum. Now we have the inmates running the asylum.

Some posters have no tolerance for those that have a differing opinion, there are definitely those that are agitating more so now than before, there are definitely trolls. And what appears to me is that some that post under multiple names.

I skim the threads regularly but I’m not invested in it as much as I used to be.

Also can’t believe that people were so cut up by a down vote.

If you click the 3 dots next to the like button and then flag post that will send a notification to mods to review the post

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Apologies, just came back. My internet is poor atm.
It’s not very prominent though? Do posters use it?

Ok, so this Forum is going to be run like the the ABC and the SMH. Unless you agree with what is written you are unable to indicate a contrary view, unless you want to write an Epistle.
So WOKE has finally caught up in the WT Forum. How pathetic it's all become, with the Forums performance matching the Teams efforts. Disgusting.
