First and foremost well done everyone associated with Stoke tonight! The team were magnificent and were very unlucky not to go through. Like most people I come on here to read and discuss the various topics and opinions of our fans, everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's so fookin obvious some pricks only come on here on the wind up it's untrue! After such a great team effort to come on here tonight to read some people picking fault with individual players is a fookin travesty. Yes I'm talking about a spineless keyboard wankstain like Benji...let's face it we all know he's a proper bellend. But why do we have to keep putting up with it? He posts some obvious wind up crap...we all give him shit but nowt gets done about it! Now I'm all for opinions but when someone clearly is only on to wind up and spout negative bile especially when things don't go our way well enough is enough. Can't we as the readers and writers of the forum have a mass vote to fuck the twat off!!!! I get you can block him and others but he doesn't wven deserve the right to write. Anti Stoke negative fuckmook splooge stain!!!! Rant over! Love you Stoke! Well played lads. And anyone giving Bojan stick after that much improved performance tonight is also either on the wind up or on crack. Well played lad!

Free speech, unfortunately. The downside of social media and forums.
He is a prize fuckwit though, and the more people that speak up, or put him on ignore, the better.

There's free speech and there's just being a prize knob just for the sake of things. I get the whole point of a troll is to wind people up....it just fucking winds me so up! Job done wankers, hope the rest of your life is as miserable as I expect it to be

"I don't agree with what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it." That's true, but then again the thread by Foxysgloves has been completely wrecked by trolling. What should be a celebration of an excellent Stoke City performance has been ruined. I might try and tidy it up later.

What should be a celebration of an excellent Stoke City performance has been ruined. I might try and tidy it up later. Whilst it is very true Dave there's an obvious line between 1 persons opinion and trolling of forums. Benji has probably posted upwards of 30 to 40 posts saying he doesn't care about last nights game, that's blatantly after a reaction not an opinion. He did exactly the same the round before trying to Goad davejohnno by saying he hopes they do it for him over and over. Enough is enough it's time the mods had a word and pulled him inline a little.

Completely agree and I go from laughing at cretinous posters to pitying them but without that freedom who then moderates the mods, who spies on the spies etc etc.

I'm all in favour of free speech, judge people from their comments but remember that attention seekers thrive on responses. The easiest way to deal with them is to ignore them however tempting it is to respond to their provocation.

Don't get me wrong I have as much contempt for benji as anyone, just look at my avatar, but the oxygen he craves are the responses he gets and the anger he stirs up just like that pr*ck on the arsenal thread the other day with his "be like aaron" bullsh*t

It is freedom of speech and some people use that freedom to try and provoke a response, just like the child who acts naughty to get told off as its the only attention they get. I actually find some of the rubbish posted funny, its not personal to me and all I do is make sure I don't respond and feed the craving for attention. Unfortunately you have drawn a lot of attention to 1 poster now with your complaints and this will just feed the cycle. You can not debate with someone who is deliberatly going to take the oppersite opinion to yourself no matter what, so just ignore them.

I agree however the original complaint, and quite rightly, was by bojackpottman, I don’t think this thread will have drawn any more attention to benji than he already has after all there can’t be a single poster whose more despised than him, he must be number 1 on everybody’s list. I think there are two ways to deal with wum’s like the biscuit, 1 as you say ignore him or 2 ridicule him, god knows he gives us enough ammunition. His legendary grasp of the written word is always a good place to start!

It is possible to block people for whatever reason, so that you can't see their posts.
I try not to do it because I think it probably ends up with blocking everyone who disagrees with you, but it's doable.

If you are on the desktop site then you can by clicking on the member's profile, click the arrow next to the small clog and then click block member. Unfortunately you can see posts that are quoted so it's a bit pointless.

It doesn't work properly because it doesn't block it when people quote them which a lot of people do with Benji. I know it's a daft thing, but some people aren't bothered by trolls/Wums but others are, and I fall into the latter. That's why forums have moderators. I can handle Bayerns views and Momo's defence of all things Pulis, but an outright wind up merchant I can't.

If Admin did their job properly we wouldn't have this kind of shit on here.
Aside from the recent Mergergate scandal, there are numerous threads ruined by trolling that just get ignored by Admin.
A thread with a clear racist posting in it gets 'locked' rather than shit binned - 2 days late. WTF is that about. 1) Delete it, 2) Ban the poster. Simple!
Never really had a problem with Admin but the state of the EE board has been a fucking mess for years and now it's spreading onto this side.
It's laughable when Admin quote the rules and regulations but can't carry them out properly themselves.
The Oatcake is turning to shit.

I swear to god I despair of this place and the indignant entitlement attitude of some of the posters. Hand on heart, I wish I'd never wasted my fucking time and I feel genuinely sorry for those who give freely of their time thanklessly trying to keep several thousand posters and many different opinions in order. 20 years down the pan.

The recent racist thread is a example of Admin being online and posting on a thread that shouldn't even have been there in the first place, rather than stopping it dead as soon as it was highlighted. And don't give this sifting through 'thousands' of posts bullshit. If there's something that shouldn't be there it's pretty easy to identify by peoples reactions and gets highlighted. I'd quite happily take on responsibility as an admin.

Smudge, I know it's difficult when this sort of shit get spouted, but 20 years down the pan? Absolutely not Mucker. Lifelong friandships have been made on here and the original creators and the mods can take their full share of thanks for that. So look at the positives. As for the trolling, unfortunately it comes with the territory. In the almost 20 years I've been using The Oatcake there have been quite a few. As you klnow, Benji is small fry compared with some of the vile shit that's been posted on here. To us 'old timers', it leaves us scratching our heads why people react to a deliberate WUM when the best way is ALWAYS to ignore them. They thrive on response. It's why they do it. But you can't put old heads on young shoulders I'm afraid. Difficult to take the loss last night, but it's a good time to be a Stokie. Tone and his lad Tom were there last night. Tom's had a day off school to recover. LOL. Say's he's never enjoyed a game so much and he can't believe what fantastic supporters our away fans are. He's still buzzing now. I've been told by him that he wants sausage and chips and gravy for his dinner. It's great to be a granddad. Mick.

Tend to agree. Seems very harsh to say you aren't doing what you can. Plus, if you start banning folks for every controversy then we'd have to close the forum down after every loss. Benji's either straight up bonkers, or a massive WUM, but Christ, we're all adults and unless he's saying something totally unacceptable or 'telling everyone how many meals he eats a day' then I don't think there's anything they should do.

The easiest way to get rid of this type of dick is for everyone to resist biting his bait and totally ignore his posts, free speech means you can post but no one has to listen to what you say or respond
