As an older Fishy reader and member, can I ask the moderators to start to eliminate some of the trolls that appear to be ruining this board?

This was the best board for Town fans to voice their opinions in a mostly constructive way - now it appears otherwise. If it is to regain the excellence that once existed, then action needs to be taken to remove some of the childish crap that is beginning to spoil it for the genuine fan.

Is it not just that it's the school holidays, and there's no football on? I would hope it will improve by itself in a couple of weeks.

Im guilty myself of losing my rag too much with some posters. Some of the utter drivel is so frustrating, i've been a regular poster for years and it used to be a fantastic forum. Everyone, including myself needs to make an effort to get the forum back to its best. No stupidity, no bickering just healthy football debate.

Think blaming the school holidays is abit harsh, not to sure what children would come on an internet fourm to get a kick? The vast majority of 'children' (myself include) on here are genuine posters and you more than likely wouldnt even reliase that their younger than the rest of fourm, some dont have the knowledge compared to alot of you but they do try and its better them supporting their local club rather than Manure, Chelski etc
The trouble is more to do with trolls on here,  get rid of them in conjuction to the begining of the football season - The Fishy will be as good as new.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

You'd be amazed at how many posts are removed and accounts removed every day...

Again I reiterate, if there are posts or posters that are breaching the forum guidelines please let the mods know by PM and we will try to make sure we catch anything that gets through the net.

We all have full time jobs and can't monitor the whole time but we do our best.

The recent influx of spambots who just seem to just copy and post a line from a previous post aren't helping either.

They should be massively reduced now Les. There's a new process to get approval of a moderator to start posting. I go through all of the submitted requests in the mornings, today there were about 75 new "accounts" registered. These would all have previously been able to post with impunity so Rob is on the case!
