Apparently there's debate on the politics forum, who knew. I must gave missed any debates, all I've ever seen is any debate shut down by throwing far right, Nazi, racist at anyone even remotely showing any support for any government policy. Even so much as stating you understand why people voted Brexit or for the Tories is enough to be branded far right.

Yes, I had a bunch of alerts from several threads some months ago. The mods allow/support racist insults directed at forum members as long as the insult-er is a self-labelled left winger. It gives them license to say what they want. Some chap called BanglaRoad, for example, plus others. Yet I’m the racist, apparently.
That's DS for you, they double down on wokism and just won't listen to common sense

I hope there have been bouncers put on the doors to stop WHEDONIT 😁😁😁

The way DS has gone in recent years is that any opinions are allowed...as long as they are the correct ones, lol.

He or she will be here via one name or another but I don't think the Tattle mods or members will put up with the nonsense and personal attacks on other members. I think TL will see a growth in members shifting from DS here in the very near future...mark my words.

I don't think DS had much choice other than shut down some sections but I am surprised they are leaving so much up to read as archives...they'll have to go sooner rather than later. Maybe its a case of leaving them their to allow angry members time to cool down and ween off the hate.
It has already happened since the DS announcement. However, I have only seen Dogs and AV mentioned so far and thankfully not TL ... yet ...

First post here, although I signed up a few days ago. So hi one and all. I recognise quite a few from DS.

I think maybe, at last, complaints have reached people higher up in the Hearst group, and they've been made aware of what a cesspit the politics forum is. I suppose they are closing GD too because the cesspitees would move there if they didn't, like they've taken over the LBC thread.

Anyway, I'm glad I had already signed up here, but I think a lot more will be joining up now.

The only one so far talking sense on those comments is Befast Guy! Glad to see someone putting them straight

We will be able to spot whedonit and the like a mile away, I left DS to get away from all those type of people, I hope they don't turn up on here

I first noticed her in a thread on Shamima Begum just after she joined up and I was getting PBU vibes off her straight away. When a bolshie "new" member shows up on DS, it gives the impression that they have been there before.
Very true. No way is she a newbie who only joined DS in June 2020. Far too forward with her comments. When I was a newbie I wouldn't say "Boo to a goose" Let alone have big rants.

Which of you is 'onlyjoking' on DS?

Did you really need to advertise Tattle to the mob on there?

I have just emailed the DS admin asking them to close my account. There's not much reason to go there after the latest announcement.

Yes I joined DS about 10/11 years ago , it took a few months to get going, and the best part of a year before I felt comfortable

The good thing about this forum is I already feel surrounded by good people, I didnt feel like I was treading on egg shells when I joined

The more deleted user on there the better imo

Kinda amusing to see certain people losing it now that the mods have decided something that isn't in their favour. I do feel a bit bad for those who use GD regularly though and have it as a way to get through lockdown.

Good luck to the moderators at avforums, they're going to need it!

Is OnlyJoking the same tit stirrer that told Lucy Van Pelt and someone else that there was a tattle thread about them, and then went on to insult Lucy and call her a witch?
 
Mods on forums throughout the land have started shaking and perspiring perfusely at the prospect of some of DS hardcore left wing loons finding their way here.

The closing of General and politics does prove that there is no inbetween now when it comes to forums no matter how hard you try the woke culture means you cannot give a balanced view that doesn't upset one or the other and just banning people who have a different view is no longer an option.

Hey folks don't worry here at Digital Spy we will still keep you informed and let you comment on the important subjects that everyone in the UK is talking about so just for that purpose:
We will also introduce new dedicated forums for Married at First Sight and RuPaul's Drag Race.

Not too sure, when did that happen?

I had an altercation with Lucy on the DS Showbiz section earlier in the year and got permanently banned but only slagged her off in here and in Dogs but wasn't aware of the Tattle thread about her.

I hope people like her who hang around in showbiz don't come to this forum with their vileness.
 
and also

I think DS may be in its final death throes before Hearst decide to axe the forum

looks to have had a very serious decline in usage numbers

and yes

the moderation team are lying rum

I think they are deliberately trying to kill their own forum

I walked out because the whole thing got like the same people over and over
I am behind so not sure if this has been posted yet (probably) but it is not long for this world.
We are making some changes to Digital Spy Forums. In the coming days we will begin rolling out updates that will bring the forums more in line with our editorial website and help refocus our discussion platform.

Starting this week, we will begin making changes to the forum index by updating, archiving and adding to our discussion boards.

We will be putting three of our existing forums into read-only mode. Showbiz, General Discussion and Politics will no longer be listed on the main forum index and will be moved to our new Forum Archive. Forums moved to the Forum Archive will no longer be active and will not be able to receive new threads or posts, but they will still be accessible to read and search.

A new Streaming forum will be added to our TV category. This will be the new home for discussion surrounding every show, movie and original available on all streaming platforms. Right now these discussions are largely spread across UK TV Shows, US TV Shows and Cult, Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV Shows — by creating this new forum we hope to consolidate these discussions and bring focus to all of this content in one place.

We will also introduce new dedicated forums for Married at First Sight and RuPaul's Drag Race.

Chatter, which currently sits as a sub-forum in General Discussion, will be rebranded The Games Room and sit next to Advice on the forums index page.

Online Entertainment Services, which is currently listed on the main forum index, will become a sub-forum in the new Streaming forum.

We will also be creating a new Forum Announcements forum on the main index that will be a read-only forum for site updates, our Community Guidelines, our FAQ, a changelog and any other necessary information relating to DS Forums from Support.

You will also see quality-of-life improvements and updates in relation to forum names, descriptions and other areas of the forum as we continue to evaluate the community and refocus our platform.

Thank you for reading,

Digital Spy Forum Support
