I posted this on the Wire site after yesterdays game. Please read my original post and say where I blame any Wire fan, but the usual suspects jumped on board.
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=506957&start=15
To counter there were a couple of more reasoned comments and I've had a couple of pms from decent wire fans.
The comment about the zimmer frame did make me smile.

| Quote ="cadoo"There is an alternative Wigan fans website for those who just want a forum where Wigan fans post. Wiganwarriorsfans it is called (very original
).
My advice would be just to ignore them. It can be difficult, but just don't rise to it. I'm all for banter after a game and expect some serious trolling right after we've lost, but it is becoming commonplace on every thread.
For me I've started to use the 'friend/foe' list. Click on a posters profile and add them to your 'foe' list. You don't see their posts, but a little bar pops up between posts where they have made a post and it gives you the option of whether you want to read it or not.'"
I've also started doing this, in fact I started around the time certain posters thought it humorous to post pictures of Sam Tomkins knocked out; everyone of those cretins was added to the foe list.
Interestingly I think all the foes in my list are wire fans.

| All these trolls are music to my ears I think its best just to soak it all up and remember it for when we have the last laugh because we always have the last laugh. Just remember that yesterday was just one game and it wasnt a playoff or knockout game and its not really cost us anything in the grand scheme of things.
All these idots/muppets/trolls/weirdos/freaks are doing is setting themselves up for a fall.

Just ban them site wide, it'll sort the PM problem out.
It's too few and far between though Dave and highlights the problem I suggested earlier re the frequency of mods. Given the traffic that comes on this site, especially with the current Tomkins obsession by fans of other clubs who share a brain cell, it needs addressing.
That is why I am putting myself forward to be a mod on a "clean this town up mandate".
VOTE FOR WIGAN28/LEEDS18 ANDY.

| I posted a thread on this very issue not so long ago the Modertators/Admins of rlfans.com need to alter the site so that cross board interruptions/discussions are stopped Wire have P&B, Saints have RedVee and so on therefore discussions should remain on that particular board.

How about a probationary period wherby you demonstrate your adherence to your mandate with a weekly list of permanently banned trolls? Maybe set you a minimum target of 1 a day? You'd get my vote too in that case.

| The OP doesn't, but many posted on this thread constantly troll the Warrington forum in exactly the same way. Make stupid comments about certain players and call fans scum. It is pathetic, but it works both ways. Like the Deano G post at the end of the first page, that is done with only one intention, to provoke Wire fans. Stupid and immature.

It doesn't, but when you have Wigan fans posting stuff like " Wire can only score against crap teams" (which isn't the case). When you get a hiding, you're bound to get it back. To be fair, the Wire mods are quite fair and give the Wiganers a chance to have a crack, seems they don't like the banter back though.

The first bit I've underlined is where, if you are the man of integrity you imply you are, you'd have finished. The second bit is where you prove that you're here with that old familiar agenda.
This is actually a simple equation. The biggest and brightest get the most gainsayers.
Nothing new in that or shocking, but if it offends anyone then my response is simple - if you weren't on here trolling in the first place, you wouldn't have seen it to be offended by.

Then maybe you should take that up with your mods? I posted on the Wire board yesterday, nothing I said was trolling or a wind-up. Why should I put up with all the trolls on here because of one or two Wigan fans wreaking havoc on the Wire board?

What old agenda? Stating what happens has nothing to do with any agenda, some fans post on other forums to have a decent chat. Get quite a few good wigan ones on the Wire one. Inside man, 21-12, NickyKiss and a few others. Nothing to do with trolling.

Mods banning their own fans on their own boards for trolling on others could be an idea.

| Why do we have to ban people though, having a word should be enough, with some posters it isn't but most take it on the chin and behave.

If they're banned they can't do it. Getting a ban on your own board would be more annoying than getting banned on another teams.

That's true, but as you say, there are some (wigan fans included I hasten to add) that don't seem able to have an adult conversation without resorting to insults and spouting nonsense.
Banning trolls on their own board, even just for a couple of days, might be a good idea!
