Support for Admin here fellas ....

[Beardy200]

Hope i'm the first with this one as i couldn't spot another. Don't wheel me though or i'll get abusive

Seriously now though ... i think there are a few people on here who should be ashamed of themselves at some of the comments and abuse thrown towards the Admin boys. They do a thankless job with very little encouragement or support from any of us really and this thread is for all the members who are perfectly happy with the job that they do.

I mean c'mon fellas if your thread gets wheeled or deleted it's for a reason not for anything vindictive or spiteful.

So everyone who thinks they should be given a break and thanked wholeheartedly for the job they do for us please sign here and let them know that we are not all thoughtless selfish tossers who just think of ourselves.

Cheers Admin boys from me ... please keep up the good work

Signed.

As i said on the above thread, they do this for nothing, and take time out of there lives to moderate this board, and all they recieve of certain people is abuse, it's disgraceful, and i certainly can see why they would want to stop moderating.

[myleftboot]

Seconded from here. Spot on boys.

[youareallwrong]

Me too. It's obvious that the people who slag Admin off have no idea of the work involved in keeping a board like this ticking over properly, even without trying to get rid of all the crap that's posted. Not everybody can spend the bulk of their waking hours trying to police the idiots, and who could be expected to stay up all night just to keep an eye on things. It's a thankless task even without the abuse.

How do you think we have a board at all without the admin guys' hard work.

100% support from me for which sometimes must be a thankless task but by giving up is admitting defeat to a minority of idiots.Every board of every club has a similar problem i feel sure so i would ask smudge and his team to reconsider and listen to the silent majority who enjoy viewing/using the board on a regular basis

Ted will now give us the first five books of the Bible to explain why he did that.... ;D

[ted1965]

I agree totally, a thankless task undertaken in their own time and without someone over seeing the baord it will descend into the sewers.

if there was no control imagine what it would be like, life after a nuclear war complete anarchy and very little debate.

They have a tough job so we can abuse each other happily ;D ;D

;D oops we all make mistakes stop picking on me sob sob sob or I will abuse you all immediately and in 2000000 words each ;D ;D ;D

[g0b0ks]

Thanks Smudge! Please don't give up...... You've done a great job for over a decade. Don't let a relatively few put you off.

Come on guys some perspective here!

They did well in the championship but now were in the Premiershit and it's obvious that they need to recruit some new blood to take us to the next level. They've known since May that we're moving up to the Premiershit!

Their performance in the first week has been below the standard expected and is due to a lack of bringing in the right quality of moderator. I mean they don't even publish match reports anymore!

There's been nothing from the management except they are looking for more moderators........since then nothing! I acknowledge that some might not want to come to a Stoke message board but they could at least try.

What we need is more quality up top and discard some of those who are not up to the job. I'm sure they could find a moderators job at a lower league clubs message board!

[corkster]

I sign

[backofthenet]

Aye

[Milkie]

I have been with the Oatcake since the Fentre days, I remember the halcyon days of a couple of hundred foke in the chat rooms on match days, meet the chairmen events hosted by Smudge in the Chatroom, even previous chief Execs lurking on both the message board and the chatroom; it is a real shame that once again the few have driven Smudge to distraction. Admin has my whole hearted support and, furthermore, an offer to help out moderating when I can. I would go as far as saying I would advocate making it a pay to post more than twice a day site if it helped maintain the standard and controlled those that insist on starting pointless threads.

I think it's sad that some folks will use somebody else's message board for free and still find reasons to whinge at them!

It's like if somebody invited you round their house and you shat on their rug, and then spent all day berating them because other houses are better because they don't have shitty rugs.

[Kelkerstokie]

Completley agree they have done a grand job and must be a nightmare to do and keep upto date all in their own time.

I have enjoyed the move to proboards from rivals, pictures flashing things and the ability for people to design different things and leave them as signitures etc.

The biggest problem I see with this site is the counter for the amount of messages posted. This causes every 12 year old (and the odd wierd adult who have very sad lives for living and posting on here 22 hours a day) post as many times as possible so they can go to school and say "I'm the best Stoke City supporter because I have posted 9000 times in the last 2 months!"

Get rid of this and you will get rid of the majority of spam that annoys most people.

[oularesarse]

ok then

[victoriaboothenboy]

Now is the time for everyone to keep their heads. In the boardroom, on the field and especially on the bastard "Oatcake". Please keep it going fellas

[Penners]

Fully support the admin, good work lads. Dont give up, just ban the abusive posters!

[stokey-pokey pudding and pie]

this board has to stay!! every support i can gave to the moderators is there for the taking. to all the wankers who have ruined this board - FUCK OFF now, i think we've all had enough

[RAF]

The abuse given to admin started way back on the Rivals server.
The fact is , if you don't like how the site is run, fuck off and find another one.
I'm sure the vermin next door will welcome you with open arms.
