A soap forum would be great if it was busier here. DS Soaps is awful now, why do they bother watching if they hate them so much? You can't even have a discussion without it turning into an argument and it's too clique.
lol yes! I look at the soap forum every now and then and it’s the same tit all the time 🙈 I find it peculiar that they refer to the producers by their last name constantly 😭 it’s very cringe 😬

As I've mentioned before I follow the SOR and Classic Corrie threads which I used to enjoy as they were mainly filled with tongue in cheek observations and light hearted discussion. Now the SOR in particular seems to me to be going round in circles discussing the same things (mask misuse and how many people sleep in one house) and in my opinion, over analysing every episode. I find myself skimming over a lot of these posts now

I got a warning once. Very rarely post, but I used to follow the Ian Lee/Talk Radio thread. It had been quiet for a while, I asked where his bum chum, best fan forever was. My post was deleted and I was warned for baiting. Said 'bum chum' created a new profile and continued to post love posts for his idol. Pretty easy to find him on Twitter too, always there bum licking....lol
 
This pretty much nails my suspicion that most DS members are actually posting from Broadmoore.
On DS, a lot of posters spend all day, every day saying exactly the same thing which is mostly sneering at anyone that has a different opinion to them, telling everyone how intelligent and nice they are unlike those evil Tories and Brexiters and how thick and racist the gammons are. You then go out in the real world or on to other forums and realise that these posters are actually in the minority, the country voted to leave the EU, the Tories are in power, Meghan and Harry are becoming more and more disliked because of the way they are behaving, etc. etc. so your comment about Broadmoor may actually be nearer the truth than you think. You can only assume a lot of these posters are walking round with their fingers in their ears and pencils up their nose as they seem to have no awareness of what is actually happening in the world possibly because they spend all day, every day at home (or in a padded cell) online.

There already is one in the Film & TV section! Plus a coronation street one
 
As a new member I thought I would post and say that I am another person who posted on DS for many years with little idea there was a reporting and warning system. Then they kept coming and I was banned.

As I mostly posted on the LBC thread let me list my supposed crimes.

1. I like the Nick Ferrari show
2. I am apparently a fan of Jon Gaunt in spite of the fact that when first accused I did not even know who he was!
3. From time to time I mention the problems and failures of James O'Brien.
4. Occasionally listening to James O'Brien which you are not supposed to do unless you like him. When I stopped listening to him several years ago this pivoted to you must be listening to him!
5. Mentioning anything positive about the UK.

The clique which run the thread exited decent poster after decent poster and must have sore fingers from all the pressing of the report button.
By contrast one poster trolled pretty much every post I made often in a nasty fashion but nothing was done.
Another kept inferring that Nick Ferrari hung around men's toilets but is still there.
Another seems unable to post without scatological and toilet references.
I see there have already been plenty of references to Banglaroad who seems to have nothing else to do.

The shame is that it was an active and mostly friendly forum whereas now it is a quiet echo chamber.

Join the long list of DS refugees Redvers.

One thing I've found here is if you disagree with someone or post a different view, you're not met with a torrent of abuse and called 'rum' or 'racist' every 5 minutes.

This forum is much more civilised, posters do have a few disagreements but it doesn't turn into world war3.

Yes got to say this forum is far better than ds. I actually post on here, I would not dare post over there. They just seem so nasty especially on the lbc & poliitics forums. I do like to read what is going on but then I am a nosy person!

Who was the DS member that used to be insanely jealous of there brother?
Is that the same member who always posts in the Advice forum about anti social behaviour? He lives with his mum and brother and the brother is a nightmare apparently, who makes his life hell. He gets loads of advice and completely ignores it, just starts another thread up again, saying the same thing?

I remember those threads! You could give him a million solutions and he'd shoot them all down. Came across like an incel too :sick:

I've just remembered. I think that is Samthefootball. Google there name, and search results from about 20 different forums will pop up.
 
I remember the posts about the brother and anti-social behaviour.... in fact I think we are due another one of them soon, there hasn't been an update for a while.

The other ones in Advice that I remember are: The poster pining for her friend that ghosted her (Connie wasn't it?) and the guy that took a fancy to the woman in the local co-op who he then friended on Facebook and when he found out she had a child posted a thread asking if it was easy to be a stepfather.... all because she said "hello" to him haha.

I also remember the 'Connie' poster.

She took no advice whatsoever, and eventually the other posters got fed up with her.

I am often baffled by the following some users have on DS. Some are treated in a god like way in which the whole thread must bow down to them and their opinion etc.

It often gets my goat when you post a nice well thought out comment in a thread and get no response, then one of ‘the chosen’ either repeats you word for word or does a ‘yeah’/‘agree’ type of comment a few posts later and gets to tons of likes for it.

It really emphasises the cliquey nature of DS at times.

One of these users I can’t stand (and I may be very unpopular here) is Jason. He seems to turn every thread possible into one about him and his lack of success with the ladies - even when it’s far removed from the topic at hand - and he isn’t that friendly with lesser users.

He really had a pop at me once for daring to disagree with him in the music forum. If he treats all women like that, it’s no wonder the ladies may not like him!

What's everyone's opinion Linkinpark875?

I've encountered this guy on many occasions over the years and how he hasn't been banned yet really baffles me. He's literally a broken record and just posts the same stuff over and over again.
