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

How old was you when you joined? I seem to recall you were the aaron of your day. Maybe he's got a chance after all

But seriously, the anonymity of the internet is well proven to make people dicks. Most of us aren't, but there you go. I don't think there's any need for this site to change, we just need maccabilk back to put people in their place.

Joined on October 31, 2008, 5:58pm That would make me 18, and a regular on here for almost four years.  I wouldn't say I was the Aaron of my day but I certainly didn't have the rapport with some people as I do now. I grew up fast and I think a lot of the younger people on here did the same when they joined and saw the standard of conversation. I have been in Aaron's situation albeit not for long and forgive me for speaking out of turn but I saw similar with ConnorGTFC and he changed his attitude early on much as I did and now I think he's a decent poster. At the end of the day if you expect to to be treat like an adult then behave like one. Aaron has been posting on here for what, 18 months? and has been warned how many times? I can only speak for myself but as someone who can empathise with the fella, I gave him some advice and that was a year ago, as I am certain other people have too. Has anyone been listened too?

Several issues here, but here's my thoughts.

1. As long as people carry on using the Fishy in its present form, then it will remain essentially as it is. We obviously have had to make a few changes to make it harder for bots to post spam (and I challenge anyone to find one of these on the site - if you do please report it). We have a few other ideas but they'll essentially be tweaks.
2. If you don't think a post is inappropriate please use the "report" button. This goes to the mods and we will give it consideration. We might not always act, but as Biccys has said we can't go through every thread every day looking for rogue posts. There's no point fuming about stuff which we might be totally unaware of!
3. The internet has changed since the old Fishy was around and the nature of the site has changed since then We used to have a large team of people who posted news and articles up on the site all the time - that still happens but it's the forum users who do it a lot more than we do, as well as sites like Twitter and Facebook which nobody had even thought of back then. There are still people who don't use the forums at all so the rest of the site still exists, but it is updated much less frequently.

Quoted from Biccys
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!


I hope a certain young lady I know gets approval.... she's a babe and likes Stella...

    The standard of conversation??? It's hardly Mensa is it??? Perhaps he doesn't see you lot as role models - hence why he may not have taken your advice...

I think the best thing that could happen on the fishy is - people remove their head from their bottom and people block rattray if he bothers you sooooooooooooooooo much....

Agreed. Every bloody thread on here turns into an Aaron thread, this one included.

If you don't like what he says then block him or do as i do, which is to read his posts, have a little chuckle or shake of the head (or both) and move on to the next post.

A few posters annoy me on here but i don't feel the need to point it out ad infinitum.

I also agree with most of Marinette's points.
