Every time I come onto this forum most of the topics, no matter it being football related or not, end up with people arguing over the most simplistic things, whereas PS you hardly ever see this sort of childish behaviour, they including myself will take the p!ss out of each other, challenge other opinions and it never ends up with people taking offence and falling out.
Btw this is definitely not a slight at you Keith, I feel you have a big job on, there are some proper devisive characters you have to manage here, they think they are better than others, know more and therefore take umbrage when confronted.
Sad, really sad. |  | | |  |

Anyone who has some serious observations that affect their enjoyment of the website, or the forum especially, please drop me a message. I’m hopeful the football stories, the news etc will promote some healthy debate, it has in recent times. But please remember the work that goes in to providing the latest news regards our club. What people need to do is chat about football and maybe then it will improve for some. We have though come a long way since September, I’m talking to the fansnetwork hierarchy tomorrow, I’m still very much fifty fifty if this will continue under my guidance in February.
It’s down to the majority from here on in to decide if they want to engage in football chat or continue their prejudices for the coming week or so, and change their attitude which clearly still prevails for some. it’s a simple ask. Mind you there is very little that derails threads, but when it happens it’s slightly annoying, people can assist by ignoring certain posters who continue to try and do so.
I suppose it’s like everything, you can only put so much in to something before it becomes arduous and boring, I’m at a crossroads, with very little Patience left tbh. I’m not a forum poster this is new to me. How my mate Phil continued with this for so long astonishes me. What I will say is that if I do walk away, and I’m pretty close, This website will collapse , there’s nobody else out there that I know who has the contacts or positivity to try and make this a better place. Let’s try and talk about the positives over the past few months for now, it may well help.
The lack of participation in our news sections is the key. If we can turn that around then the site may well kick on more positively. It’s your choice folks. |  |

I'm surprised by the original post.
I have found this site far more enjoyable these days.
Quality and not quantity.
Keith clearly puts in a lot of hard work which goes by unrecognised . |  |

I am sorry to bring this up Keith but certain peoples behaviour puts me off reading and posting on this site.
You do an absolutely fantastic job mate and i hope your reply to my OP will open peoples eyes. | | | |

Your doing a fine job mate.
If you decided to walk away nobody could blame you.
Keep going though 💪

Why is the OP on here stirring the pot?
This Forum is miles better than it was under the legendary Phil.
I am sorry you are not enjoying running it Keith because you are doing more for it than the previous owner did for the last 5 years he ran it. | | | |

Far better than this site used to be for sure, at the end of the day is it not what forums are about?
On the football part of the board I disagree with loads of posters but respect their opinion, I have DYSS on ignore as I find it sad someone posts on a board to get kicks out of being t wat.
The non football is obviously more feisty but I enjoy it.
Keep up the great work Keith. [Post edited 23 Jan 2021 21:19]

Absolutely right. The ignore feature is vital on here. Some people deliberately ruin threads and it’s not a good look. |  |

Funnily enough I was posting earlier this week on the improvement on this site. Less bickering overall but agreed it still exists.
Most annoying things are the hijacking of threads buy a handful of individuals as well as duplication of topics.
Ceratin individuals also seem to try to shut down opinions , esp. politically related views. Free speech is extremely important and must be protected.
Strong moderation can sort out all of the above to make it a great experience for all.
Diolch to Keith for his efforts. Raises a glass of red. Up the Swans! |  |

Why am I stirring the pot? It's an opinion of mine, I came on tonight after getting home from work and the first four topics had turned into a contest of bickering, certain posters just dragging topics down because people have differing opinions.
Your opening line perfectly displays what I am trying to get across. | | | |
| Bickering on 21:43 - Jan 23 with 3559 views | Dr_Winston |
It's the internet. Bickering is what it's for. That and porn.
Just don't take it too seriously, or fall into the habit of thinking that people are "entitled" to say what they want on a privately owned and operated forum. If someone pisses site ownership off they're free to post somewhere else. [Post edited 23 Jan 2021 21:44]

At least you could have put this in the correct section, its not very difficult, its exactly the same on PS, its Football or Non-Football.
Hi over there btw  | |

| Bickering on 21:58 - Jan 23 with 3517 views | ItchySphincter |
The football board here is good, always has been during the season, and Keith’s done a good job with all the scoops. The not football board is insane, also always has been but it’s more divided these days, a reflection of the times we live in. I don’t know why Phil gets a hard time, he must have worked his nuts off to give us somewhere to argue over football and everything else for god knows how many years and Keith’s obviously put in a massive effort too. |  |

If I have my way Keith will at least be running the show until the end of the season. We just need to value the other sections of the site. There's only a few disruptive elements and to be honest I see them as catalysts for fair game.
I've made my mistakes I know, but I'm square on the side of the new era. |  |

| Bickering on 22:02 - Jan 23 with 3507 views | A_Fans_Dad |
This is not the first post where old posters who mostly frequent the new forum have come on here and whinged to Keith that they don't like this one now. When it is better than ever
It strikes me that they are trying to get at him through us.
Smacks of a Wind Up Merchant.
I think Keith has done a fantastic job, especially on the Football section. | | | |

And let's not forget why he does this, I'm pretty certain that anyone who is having a go at Keith for the way this site is run would have more than a second thought should they get the opportunity in the flesh. I'm also pretty certain that's not the case, and if it is, I would love to be there to see the outcome.
Anyone who does actually know him would back this up 100%
Just think people, if you set about a valid way of raising funds for a family member dying of cancer and a bunch of people came out to make that difficult. Unwittingly or not, what would you do ?
Lets support every page of this site, click away, visit everywhere, and enjoy how much it has improved.
Not difficult surely ? [Post edited 23 Jan 2021 22:16]

So stay on PS then? I felt the same about that forum, but I don’t feel the need to login on there slag the place off and then log back out again.
Would you prefer it if you managed to get posters on here to go over onto PS? That’s what it seems to me if I’m being honest but I don’t think it’s going to work, hopefully not anyway. | | | |

Good site this I have used all over the years this is by far the best one.
The transfer deadline day coverage on here last summer was the best I have seen on any Swans board.
Would be a massive shame if this site were to change ignore the bickering it's mostly nonsense anyway. | |
