Bring Back Boggers

Bread2.0 wrote:Seriously for a sec, what did (the) Boggersbelief (character) actually contribute?

Spurious transfer rumours which never came to fruition and snide back-up for the other idiot when he tried stirring up shit.

And then there was the whole "not being man enough to pay up a charity bet" thing.

If that's what people want, fair enough but I honestly can't see how he's being missed.

Apart from by Whittam, who's clearly got an agenda here.

What am I missing?

There's no agenda. I just want more people posting.

I had no audio for some reason.

Problem with your speakers?

They weren't turned on.

But Boggers contributed in his own way. Yes, he was a bellend but most of us are guilty of that and have had our stupid moments.

When Boggers and Scott were banned there were several posters congratulating the mods for their actions, saying the site would be better off without them. So where are all the interesting or funny posts from these people now that the site is Boggers/Scott free? Who has stepped up now that Boggers can't take the piss?

I'll tell you, no one. I've just been away for a few days and each night I would check the site for something worth reading. Take away the news posts by KP or Sluffy and there was absolutely bugger all. I thought I was on the Mavies forum.

I may be wrong but I'd be surprised if the last fortnight hasn't been the quietest period in the history of Bolton Nuts. And it's only going to get worse.

Perhaps people need to accept that any forum needs an edge. A character or two who can set the site off with a couple of posts. Yes, they may overstep the mark from time to time but, as far as I am concerned, any forum is at its best when people are arguing over nothing.

Folk on here seem to like being shocked or outraged by certain posts or posters, but I'll bet you they really love reading the shite that gets posted on here. I know I do.

So I'm asking the mods to reinstate Boggers. Before more people drift away because no one is posting.

Many thanks.

As far as I'm concerned it is all or non.

I can't see how it can be possibly deemed fair to ban posters simply to please other posters?

It takes two to tango.

I can't see how you can leave one person banned for good and allow another back for doing the same things at the same time - how can that be deemed fair and reasonable?

It can't.

Yes I know Scott had previous but the others involved were not whiter than white either.

All the people involved now know clearly that we no longer want the shit they gave us and will now act to stop it.

On that basis (and having previous discussion about my views behind the scenes) I believe the right thing to do is to lift the bans of both Boggers and Scott.

Future posts from and between Boggers, Scott and Bread will need to be civil in content otherwise all this shit starts again and quite frankly we've had enough of it.

On that basis I will lift the bans but if people still can't learn the lesson, then they will be gone for good just like the AD account.

I'm not sure asking the mods to re-instate a poster is the place to be edgy.

Its not just a select few.  Dont get me wrong, when boggers wasnt bogscott i actually found him alright.  I liked him.

But you cant ignore the majority.

Otherwise this place will be worse than it is at the moment.
