Now that all mods are being consulted on dodgy posts it should work really well. The mods are a reasonable and varied bunch, so dodgy posts will now be decided on by a jury rather than a judge so to speak. Good move and hopefully a return to the better days 👍 It's been a bit better already, good work all involved. This last week almost 100% of thread locks , thread moves , anchors , were all done by the newest mod , and I personally thanked him for a decent bit of modding on all accounts , some of the posts he removed were mine The only modding I did , you and only you personally went bonkers with it , caused me no end of stress All I did was close a pathetic thread that needed closing , it was then reopened just in time for me to endure more abuse all this despite me messaging someone to explain why the thread was being closed , I mean thanks Maybe this new setup will take some pressure off you Pilch, if it helps you and the board, that's got to be a good thing.

Not sure how this will work but in an effort to stop threads being taken off topic any posts that are either off topic or designed to take the discussion off topic will be moved here. We’ve had the ‘joke’ about anti town fans, it’s only funny once ….. pathetic attempts at irony just cause arguments. The same posters try and hijack threads for their own agenda and to draw other posters in. It’s going to stop. please read the rule on spamming. I’ll highlight the important bit. 10 - Spam - Spamming the board is strictly prohibited and will result in preventative and disciplinary measures being taken by the B and A moderating team. A poster will be deemed to be spamming if, in the opinion of the board moderators, he or she is posting excessively on the board on the same subject or similar subjects, to the extent that it is causing annoyance or inconvenience to board users.Make your point but move on, if you don’t agree, politely say why but remember you might be wrong. We’re all different. No doubt mistakes will be made and innocent posts moved but hopefully it will stop the continual childish spats…. Hopefully we won’t have to move anything just try and make this a friendly fun place. (offensive personal or troublesome posts will be r3moved to a safe place) Good luck with this! Even the Christmas thread wasn't safe 🤣🤣

Hopefully moving forward the mods intervention on posts/threads will become increasingly rare as B&A members enjoy coming on the board, whilst respecting the views and opinions of others.

You are a good addition to this board. I do genuinely mean that. Bit of humour and a realistic fan unlike Noto and how Doc Proctor is becoming. Yes, I thought that too. Decent supporter on another teams board, always welcome on B&A. Doc Proc is certainly not the person he used to be. Remember him very humble and coming in here 18 months ago when it all went pear shaped in the play offs and the Trophy final. Thought he came over very well back then. Not any more though..... As for Noto, he has always been a **** Doc proc a decent other team poster imo. Breaks it up from some of the more sterile posting on this hallowed turf.

Can we put Pilch in room 101 If that amounts to actually silencing him, I wouldn't be in favour: he is as entitled to his opinions as the rest of us, as we are entitled to criticise his.

What a crock of bulls**t , I mean if you can show us who bragged about beating Brighton on pens go ahead It's A shame some Fans have to go out of their way to blatantly Tell lies to get their point across Hang your head in shame liar Absolutely no justification for such personal insults, and, in the opinion of this Mod, is in breach of the Board rule relating to respect. With respect. Are you not a moderator of this site? If so then the solution lies with you and your fellow moderators.

What an utter embarrassment this board has been allowed to come.
I thought the last intervention by the honest mods around new years might've beared fruit, but it's back to normal as expected.

More importantly, do you think that Town should make a land grab on Friday against Oxford? They will be tough opponents as their league position would suggest, so perhaps we might have surrender some possession and try to hit them on the break. It will of course depend upon the players we have available and the formation that PH decides upon. Personally I think a point would be a decent result.

It's good to be able to get back to Town business now that the fighting has stopped in accordance with the UN resolution. Oh, wait....

Isn’t the statement on behalf of the Moderators entirely contradictory? And confusing.
We are asked not to reply because this thread is about the Middle East and yet it is deemed appropriate to announce a completely incongruous statement as to a raft of new rules for contributors of the board that bears absolutely no connection to the treads content.
Such changes surely warrant their own dedicated thread( that moderators can block responses to if they saw fit).
Is it permitted to continue contributing to this thread or not ?

Think the message was to explain why some posts were moved and yes a further update will be given and this moved. Carry on as you wish, just be aware the posts were moved because they were openly discussing other posters in a derogatory way. Make your points, disagree but don’t gang up and talk about others….

I agree with this, sadly. Pilch didn't you even help us all sell fanzines with free toilet seats with each issue? The seats were changed within 6 months of that. The entire fanbase knew about it for several years. It was on the list the grievances with the clipart lion and wanting to charge full price for the Port Vale game that was abandoned because of a fire. Let alone a "choose the kit" competition that was deliberately manipulated in the choices and then lied about in the results. That's why if you talk about toilet seats, clippy or kit C everyone knows what you're talking about. To pretend to not know because in your hundreds of games you've never needed a poo is one of the silliest things I've ever read on here. thanks again Dave for the accusations, having checked the fanzine forum it seems it was 2017 when you gave away a free toilet seat, not only did I stop being involved in the fanzine when I started working at Royal Mail in 2011, I didn't even manage to buy a copy since then, my Saturdays involve me rolling up at 3pm give or take 10 minutes, and my face is a rare thing in smithys theses days, I think maybe 1 pint ive had in there in the last 3 seasons and thats about an average now. by the way, there is no thread about toilet seats on this forum until months after that issue of the fanzine ( the one I totally missed and had zero input in ) hard to believe we've had a kangaroo court on this and I've had to dig for evidence to clear my name, but thats blue and amber for you "State of the Art, or Bog standard" I campaigned hard for the new stadium. Many of us did. Some of the flaws with the stadium have been discussed before, at length. The green gate, the car park, super blues way, the lack of a supporters bar, they have all been done to death. But one issue that suddenly burst out of nowhere recently was fans clamouring for, wait for it, toilet seats! So it is with this in mind we have given everyone buying a copy of this fanzine a free toilet seat cover! For me this issue crept to the surface when I started taking my little girl to games. She is five now, and I had looked forward to her being old enough to come for a while. Up came the big day last season and we went for some food in a local pub before the game, then an epic trek with a little person towards the stadium ensued. Once inside we went and waved at Lenny the Lion, joined in with a couple of songs, and generally she was just blown away by the whole thing, and loved it. That was always my dream, to take my own kids to the game like my Dad had taken me. Then it happened. She needed a wee. Now I had not really foreseen this bit, and as a father obviously her to the gents. We queued for the cubicle, and when it was our turn I opened the door for her. On entering she just grabbed my leg. Now she is normally a confident little lass but she looked up at me with this look of horror, as if to say "All this time you said you would look after me, all this time you said you would protect me, and now this!". I did not know what to do. She was never going to sit on a freezing cold metal bowl. I would not want her to because it was such a mess. I could not work out how a female could use that toilet without it being a remarkably grim experience, especially for a child. In the end, with the help of about half a toilet roll and some decent balance she did manage to have a wee but it just dawned on me that day, just what a cheap and nasty set up it is for us. Roland, do any of your grandchildren have to wee like that? Do they? Ever? What would you say if they did? What would their parents say? I remember those meetings campaigning for the new stadium. I remember us being across the table from one another, working together. But now, with one arm holding myself up against a breeze block wall and the other trying to stop my daughter falling into a metal bowl, we could not have been further apart. This stadium was not built for us plebs. It just was not. If you can't even get the toilet seats right, then what hope do we have of a safe pathway or better catering? During a recent discussion on the club's official Facebook Page it became clear that many, many others felt the same way. It was clear that women hate the toilets at the new stadium. Some men said their partners chose not to attend games and that was a clear factor. Then came men with medical conditions, and fathers taking their children. The only two solutions people came up with where to bring your own fold out toilet seat like you get for kids, or to use the disabled toilets. I guess it won't work if all women, children and men with medical issues use the disabled toilets! Brian has said he is looking for alternatives but the current design cannot have them retrospectively fitted. In a recent video he also seemed pretty dismissive of the issue, although hopefully that was just a blip and questionhe does realise that it matters to people. I cannot think of the single place in Shrewsbury that does not have toilet seats, except maybe the police station and the prison when it was open. It seems inconceivable in this day and age for any public venue to not have them, for any place to not have them. I just don't understand. It was a genuine question about whether you helped us sell them. The fanzine article only came after years of people moaning about it on here and at the supporters meetings.

Are you taking the p**s? The discussion of toilet seats was rife on here for a decade, you know full well it was. Ssshrew was one of the main catalysts, and rightly so! You're just being facetious. Taking the P*ss? Good one. dear o dear, it would be fun if he brings up those multiple debates to back up those claims, some people will say anything to try and make you look bad
