I understand that the official "RL fans" messageboards position is that they cater for the wider RL "family", no club has it's "own" messageboard etc etc etc but the amount of non Wigan fans who post on here, hijack threads, with the same utter tripe, day in day out is becoming very very boring indeed.

Time was when we could discuss all things Wigan RL on here. Now, you can't make any point without some Stains/Whino, and increasingly Warrington fan sticking their oar in.

It's having a negative impact on the forum imo.

Called Jealousy unfortunately and was bound to happen once we got back to the top...all the mods can do is try and ban the little gob 5hytes who try and derail our discussions

If you want a site for JUST wigan fans then try a wigan forum, not an RL forum.

All it takes is some moderators intervention of which I’m sure will be on its way soon. I post the odd comment on here but some people as you said seem to live on here to irritate...

It gets into the PHIPPS/Barrie McKenzie territory .The joy when his posting privileges were removed from the virtual terrace was one to saviour indeed.

You are right, I wouldn't mind...

BUT the people doing it are often derailing the threads from the original topic.

It's not thaty we want a site JUST for Wigan fans, but to be able to have dicussions without constant interruption from trolls from other clubs. Often fans from other teams make a positive contribution, but that it is usuall overwritten by the majority coming on here to cause hassle and derail threads.

What really is boring is the amount of bitter RL fans from other teams sniping at us constantly.

Some of the best and most enlightened posters on here for me are from other teams, including Stains and the Dire. However, has has been said there are some god awful, sh[ii[/ite for brains trolls who need to be moderated properly. Given the number of mods we have it shouldn't be a problem, but looking at the names a lot of them don't seem to be on here with the regularity they used to, if at all.

Given this I am putting myself forward to be a mod on a "clean this town up mandate".





VOTE FOR WIGAN28/LEEDS18 ANDY.

There's an easy solution.

Try [url=http://www.knethosting.co.uk/here[/url and [url=http://www.phpbb.com/here[/url.

I hope you have deep pockets.

Just respond to the topic! Trolls try to elicit a response ignore them and they move on. There are plenty of opportunities to have a debate even if its an heated one on the sport.

Meh! It's been like that on the Leeds board for years! Welcome to the party.

I actually find them amusing.

The dismal quality of their trolling - like the guy asking why the "Brigantes" are named after a Yorkshire tribe, ignorant of the obvious point that Yorkshire didn't even exist in the Iron Age (nor did England, obviously) - is hilarious at times. I laugh out loud at the utter muppetry of these people. Some of their posts are so moronically random I don't think you could make them up if you tried.

I used to think many of them were deliberately obtuse. Now I realise most of them are just not very bright (and that's being kind

).

Dimmest of all are the Wolfs. The sheer number of total muppets from Warrington visiting this board is incredible. It's as if they are determined to prove they are the stupidest fans in RL (and they are doing!). Even Leeds fans are geniuses by comparison with the Wolfs.

We should look at it as a good thing. If they stopped trolling and having a go, it would be because we aren't a threat.

We need to worry if they stop doing it.

And it's words on a forum - no more, no less.

just ignore trolls and them block them its simple you dont have to read the crap they post and can have a good debate and banter with genuine rugby fans from all clubs

You have to remember its not all one way we have some real Wigan gobes that offer nothing constructive constantly over on the wire board.

Your main problem is that there as LOADS of pie trolls on other forums constantly winding up other fans and hijacking threads....you reap what you sow im afraid.

Well I banned someone the other week for derailing threads and for me to ban anyone is a very rare event and banning really is a last resort. Now my ruddy PM in box is getting filled by the poster constantly complaining about the ban!

So why aren't they banned? If Wigan fans causing problems elsewhere is a problem that is leading to problems on this board, the answer is for the Wigan fans to be banned from the other boards in the first instance. Not for an equally set of brain dead morons to respond in kind on here.

Since according to you the Wigan fans are the root cause of the problem then if they were banned from the other boards the problem would disappear on all boards wouldn't it? There wouldn't be any problem on here at all then would there? Really?

There were never any Wigan/Leeds/Wire/Bulls fans sniping at Saints when we were dominating, no-siree-bob. Wigan are the only club that ever gets stick.

Rather than moaning about other fans, perhaps moan at Hock for giving them ample opportunity to snipe? Do you GENUINELY think that if that had been James Graham/Adrian Morley/Danny McGuire etc eye-gouging (on the back of a 2 year drugs ban amongst other blots to the copy book), the boards would have been silent because he doesn't play for Wigan?

The Wigan persecution complex is pretty funny really.

The odd bit of banter for me isn't a problem but certain posters just don't understand banter and some posters offer nothing constructive and try oneupmanship in every bloody post and it's tedious.

One eyed posters irritate me but at least they usually talk rugby even if it is through their teams glasses.

wigan mod in 'just ban everyone' shocker



ps.. saddened said can he be unbanned from here please...

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.
