42nite Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 As I see it, some posters are WUMs and anglers, and enjoy hijacking threads or just trying to piss people off with pathetic childish posts. Rather than amuse them and play into their silly little games, snake or bin them. You can try to ignore them, but like a nasty little itch they just don't go away, and it feels good when you eventually scratch it! #Bring back the snake.

bengalcub Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Don't think anyone cares about a snake or a rubbish icon , my issue is people put them but never add any opinions of their own ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I suppose, that Joe Bryan thread where MaggersNo1fan, just rubbished every post was the straw that broke the camel's back. I quite liked the "rubbish" myself, once you have made one written reply to something you disagree with, it saved having to retread old ground when the same thing was posted again and again.

If you consider certain posters to be WUM then simply put them on ignore. The snake and bin icons were aventually removed because they were abused and IMO the right thing to do. Personally I found it frustrating when a post was binned without explanation. I was left wondering why the perpetrator had done it, unless I considered them inconsequential.

HitchinRed Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Some threads have pages and pages of people making the same comments, albeit using slightly different wording. This means that people end up not reading the whole thread, and hence repeat the posts that have already been made (again). Therefore, I quite like the ability to indicate whether you agree or disagree with a post, even if you haven’t got anything new to add to the debate. Apologies if this point has been made before, but I couldn’t be bothered to read all the previous posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Didn't have a problem with bin or snake on paper. The odd post may merit either of those reactions, but it was inevitably misused by a minority and that's why it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it frustrate you, I presume a grown up, that grown ups can no longer use negative emojis on a forum? You have posted several times to this effect now. To me this is rather like crayons being removed from a class of infants. A fair few are relieved because they feel more grown up and know that, in future, when someone doesn't agree with a story they've composed or thinks it is rubbish that someone will offer a counter argument or reasons why they consider the story to be rubbish, in other words they receive a grown up reaction. Rather than just have infants, lacking in having this fairly simple, more mature form of criticism at their disposal, walking (or maybe crawling) around the classroom with their crayons drawing bins or turds at the bottom of the author's work. I keep using the word grown ups as you have employed it several times in your previous posts regarding this issue. To my mind I equate sticking pictures of bins and snakes at the foot of a post as the equivalent of the immature infant armed with crayons.

FWIW, I think the forum should have a ‘like’ and ‘dislike’ button, simply because people seem like to want it. The real reason it’s been taken away is because people actually care when they get a bin or snake, not because a people go through posters posts and do a blanket bin.
