I also think that the key to sorting this board out is to tackle the problems on it, rather than moving it. I 'get' some of the SPs (not going to use the word!), some are really quite funny, one or two are very ironic.

The SPs I am fed up with are the same two (maybe three?) posters who are almost always just there to pick an arguement, get personal and then thank themselves and their AEs in order to make it look like everyone agrees with them. These posters are almost always just nasty, trouble making and vindictive - they have a problem with one or two posters and jump on every post they make.

It'd be easy enough for the Abuse team to check the history of some posters to see the standard of the posts make make. Several people (or a couple of people with several S*** P*****s) just make one-line insulting comments designed to cause offense and disrupt threads.

I Agree I think SteveJ, Chucky, Dan and I etc all get called sock puppets of each other though.
But I Really don't see any of us being nasty or trouble making we just have big problems getting our point across because of the mountain of bears wanting to "have a go" or being "them against us"

I have been accused as being "one of those" posters on this thread (along with the mentioned above).
It confuses me to who the posters are I can think of two or three who are nasty when you disagree with what they say.

Not sure they are the same as your two or three though.;)

I've been accused of being all three of you at one time or another. I'm also accused of being every knobby user who turns up on the forum. The bullies on here don't like people who are even slightly optimistic about the economy or stock/property markets and seek to undermine and silence those voices. They use smear tactics with talk of SP's because they don't have the wherewithall to engage 'opponents' on economic issues and debate properly.

The Bears seem to be the most abusive, but they justify it by saying "Well, three years ago when house prices were going up, the Bulls were abusive to us so we're getting them back". It doesn't seem to register with them when you point out that the person they're abusing was not a member back then, and actually when you look at their profile, neither were they! :rolleyes:

. Post #2 is a good example of how some regulars (me, on this occasion) are immediately targetted for abuse, simply because they offer alternative viewpoints on the Housing Market.

Was this abuse you received a cause or an effect of the 6 people you / Topov personally insulted in this thread alone? :rolleyes:
