I've been a member here since 2008. In that time I know we've had members come and go for various reasons, and others sadly pass away.
But we have also increasingly lost members due to the extreme negativity of posters around here (some worse than others).
It's getting to the point it's almost unbearable, and I've had people PM me even as recently as this weekend to state they are considering walking away from the site because they cannot stand the negativity ("It's not longer and enjoyable place to visit with the negativity").
More to the point, the negativity has also cost the site some bloody good moderators, and some bloody good posters, and that downright pisses me off.
Whilst I'm not the site owner (or an admin), I want to be incredibly blunt here.
....
Win or lose, a supporter backs and believes in a team (that includes the coach and players).
So you don't believe the coach is going well? That's fine, have an opinion on it, but understand you can do NOTHING to change that, so either you support the club how it is, or you log off, look at the ladder, and go support a side up the top of it (I'm sure that will make you much happier).
Repeating the same shit over, and over, and over, and over, and over again badmouthing and bagging our coach is a joke. WE GET IT. Say it once, and leave it at that. Simple!
The same people drowning this place in negativity are those that will never be happy.
Sack Des - HOORAY DES IS GONE!
Get a new coach in - HOORAY New Coach
Miss the finals for the next 5 years and get a spoon along the way - "FUCK THIS NEW COACH.. WHY DID WE GET RID OF DES FFS!!!"
Not to mention if we start going well this year, you almost have no right to enjoy the wins, given you have written the side off already.
I'm not saying "don't have an opinion" as that's what this place is all about. But posting shit in every single thread (the same negative rubbish) is getting beyond a joke.
If you aren't happy with the club, yet the club signs the coach for another 2 years (likely), then you have two options:
1. Put up and shut up.
2. Piss off and bandwagon support some other club.
I presume we are all adults (not kids here), and some posters need to start acting like it.
I'm really not sure what the next step is moving forwards: Reward posters for positive comments, or restrict those that bask in negativity.
But it's clear... some users need to pull their heads in, because if it continues along for much longer, something WILL change, and I dare say it won't be coming from myself or other moderators, but we will be asked to enforce it.
There have already been several conversations regarding this behind closed doors.
