As the title suggests, felt the need today to bin the Crusaders-till-I-die forum and post exclusively here.

Not averse to some aggro on messageboards, even from the moderators. But when said moderators hypocritically lecture others and ban them for doing the same things it is time to leave.

Hell it was NEARLY as bad as the idiot moderators on the BBC website.

RLfans only for me from now on. A bit more relaxed and adult attitude from the mods.

Hi firefylhalf, you may remember me from the Crusaders boards, im...

"Alex"... obviously because im banned for a month im primarily living around here for a bit, nice for another Crusader to join the RLFANS boat.

yeh its me cru111 I've had enough of them so im joined here instead

-t

ap1717,

Yeah mate. I recall. You got banned for a month for saying nothing worse than the Ians say to others all the time.

Well their silly little fiefdom is five (so far) subscribers down.

guys i've tracked you all down. not hard i admit but hey.

i agree the mod's post about the prize for stupidest post was out of order and was more on the malicious side than the sarcastic side, Alex you crack me up i can argue till i'm blue in the face with someone and get called everyname under the sun and its all forgotten the next day. others are not the same. your ban i feel was a little harsh although i'm not sure of the full story.

All 3 of you contribute worthwhile if sometimes oppinionated views to the "other place" as for the youngster he does sometimes come out with strong posts without probably considering the impact of his words.( I know i was the same) this is just his age i'm now 27 and its taken me this long to actually think about what i say and how it will be reacted to.

i post here now and again as well as the other place and i'd ask you to come back and continue to express your opinions as you have done before. people are entitled to their opinions even if others disagree this is called being an individual, everybody who watches the games has a right to express their beliefs regardless of how others see them.

i'll pm the said mod in a bit and try and express my position as a neutral as i don't know any of you personally and have only met the photoman briefly last monday at pitchside.

the point of a forum is the ability to exercise free speech and opinion and for others to argue the point to a logical conclusion its called debating and its an essential to life. i disagree with cru111's statement however i 100% back his right to express it. firefly as for you calling the mod a tw@, what he said was out of line and i'll tell him that but what you said was almost as bad, and if you think i'm being a tw@ we can debate it over a drink at the cas game. (i'll buy)

Anyway i'm off now to pm said mod and express my feelings on this issue. as i said above all 3 of you in my opinion make a valid contribution to the other place and have the right to express your opinions as long as they are not racists ect. the mods should take into account the niavety of youth and cut them some slack.

the bottom line please come back...

Chubbs out.

Good post Chubbs.... i will be back when im unbanned, but i will also stay on rlfans.

However on return to 'crusaderstilidie' i will obviously think before i talk, but i wont lay down. See you soon buddy.

NC do you live locally? its sad that you don't get to games is there anything we can do to help you out? a lift or anything

no probs alex i've pm'd the mod in question, trying to be as diplomatic as possible and will wait and see if anything comes back.

I been using crusaderstilidie forum for years, my username on there is richard14.

I recently started using this forum as well. I feel like I can have a bit more of a banter on this one though

i aint going back til i get an apology.

Nice to welcome you guys over here! I always read both boards and have always felt we are poorly represented on this site! The main person I have seen lots of over here is Crucrucrusader. Then again you might be dissapointed that I frequent this board as well lol

I don't get to games as it is awkward to walk and even if I had a lift it would be dificult to get around and even more so if there were a big crowd. I follow the crusaders via the web and occasionally when they are on sky. I was given a laptop by my neighbour so as to keep in touch and he told me this morning that as I have his old modem people actually think that it is his posts that I put on the web.He gave it to me s he does not go on the crusaders site any more only when he pops in and has a look what topics are up for discussion after a game. Good luck and all the best on this site as I think you get a better discussion here without fear of it being banned or locked as so many have been on the other site in the past.

To all concerned. there is a post on the quinn thread from said mod please read.

NC, if you want a lift down i'll pick you up on sunday? i'm driving up from plymouth so a slight detour is nothing. i'm sure the club will give any help they can and if you need assistance moving around i'll carry you if needed



all supporters should be able to enjoy the game if you want to give it a go i'll help you out.

chubbs

thank you Chubbs

Was your neighbour known as Rail Trainer or Rhino Winner on the Crusaders forum by any chance?

Chubbs,

Thanks for the peacemaking efforts.

With the benefit of hindsight what I said on the other board was a bit out of order. I also unfairly unloaded it all at Ianthephotoman. I still have some issues with that board but ITPM is not the reason. I certainly apologise for the ripe language.

But I'll not be returning to CTID anythime soon.

fair enough shame to see you leave. as someone else said you often bring something decent to the table in terms of discussion.

ian said some times things are unfairly moderated becasue he can't be online 24/7 so can't verify all posts. i've asked how many mod's there are and if this is enough. also i asked if its possible to censor expletives to stop further problems.

there is a need for discussion about the moderation on the board and i think it will come in the very near future.

anyway cru jnr got his apology hope you will show up before next season

chubbs

Well im on both boards as well as the totalrl forum and they all are pretty good. Nothing is pefect including modding or other people. The truth is that most discussion on the crusaders goes on at the tilidie forum and we should all try to express our opinions in a cordial manner. Its a great resource and needs to develop. I already volunteered to be a mod and a more clear cut and discussed "terms of use" and more mods are essential for it to develop in and even better resource.

when did you volounteer and did you get any joy? i think as its an unofficial board it should be regulated like one.

in a thread that had gone so far off the subject it had become silly. Ian said no thanks and i left it at that.
Of course its unofficial which doesnt require heavy policing just the usual stuff as already mentioned. Needs a springclean as well.

a propper springclean alot of the stuff is hardly used and mostly irrelevant.

the cru chat is the only major one worth keeping. i'd say merge the acadmey sections. move travel club into the cru chat as a sticky. is RU necessary? there is a general chat section after all.

I am actually in the middle of a move back to Yorkshire at the moment. I have lived in South Wales for about 5 years now and was at one time a big fan of the Bradford Bulls, but with my disability I will find it more practical to be back near my family and sons. They have a farm between Garforth and York, the open countryside will make my life a lot easier so unfortunately, I will be moving in the next week or two. Thanks for the offer anyway. CHEERS
