Digital Spy Forums

Wow! I guess there are ways to circumvent this if you have the desire and energy to do so but they're becoming increasingly draconian (not to mention inconsistent) so maybe it's not worth it.

Yeah, i may stage a return at some point if possible

The whole thing is ridiculous really when you look back at my previous threads and posts on there, ive hardly been controversial over the years. I did enjoy the forums, great for advice too on phones computers etc. I will live on in previous threads! And check the General discussion department from time to time

Can't say im not disappointed though I do take responsibility trying to register another account. I guess I had withdrawal symptoms from digital spy

I follow the Corrie threads and I'm inclined to agree with you, especially the SOR thread. It goes around in circles with everyone wanting to have the last word on a subject and God help you if you ask a question or comment on something that's already been discussed! There's a particular poster who likes the sound of their own voice and dominates discussion on there, quite often repeating things that others have said as if they are their own thoughts. They also have an annoying habit of signing off each post with an emoji! Most of my contributions go unnoticed!

I think I know who you mean, it's normally a rainbow emoji? If it's them, yeah, they post huge walls of text just repeating what other's have already said. Another on the SOR thread can't help themself and will always make sure they have the most recent post, there will be a bubble of convo and then they'll post something, normally irrelevant, just so they are there. Tree like name this one.

Someone has just said on DS that if you message Support, that also counts as a discussion so I have done that a few times querying warnings or bans so my earlier estimate of my reporting was more accurate.

I’ve been banned from DS for a while but I don’t think that’s correct tbh, unless they’ve changed things since. IIRC contacting support is more like a PM. Vanillaforums, which DS runs on since its makeover confirms how alerts work though, especially the underlined part:

Any member with the "Flag" permission may use this function.

Once the report has been submitted, the reporting user receives a pop up confirmation at the bottom left:

[BoujeeBabe]

She’s on here now. Sad story.

After I replied, it clicked I knew of her and how she's joined in here. It's all just awful....

 

[ColaMonster]

Whatever happend to Pierre? The DS user who was French?

 

[ColaMonster]

Who was the DS member that used to be insanely jealous of there brother?

 

[plymouthbloke1974]

Damn, I really thought that would work!
Can you ask a friend who lives in a different town to sign up, using their email address and ISP? Then ask them to give you the log in details.

Not really as most friends use gmail.

 

[Phoenix Lazarus]

Are they discussing this forums thread on digital spy?

It says they read 'all 29 pages.'

How long is this thread?

 

[Hypnos_Metis]

Someone's literally just posted this on that thread!

Do you think only joking will be coming over here instead now?!

 

[ColaMonster]

Am I the only one who thinks that Anne666 May have passed away?

No activity at all since 2019, and people don’t leave a forum for that long without giving some kind of notice.

 

[ColaMonster]

There is another member who hasn't posted on DS in ages, Takea.

I'm starting to wonder if Anne666 has passed away? Since she hasn't been active since 2019.

 

[ColaMonster]

Didn't DS and Mumsnet go to war at one point?

Or am I thinking of Pistonheads?

 

[Justmadeit]

I remember Lucian Deville on D.s. Now there was a character!!

 

[ChampagneBox]

Thank you, we should have thought about this earlier, more DS Refugee's here that I thought.

Speechdancer is my DS username and also on the Daily Mail website.... Oh and THE SUN.

Ooh I’ll look out for your comments on the DM lol

 

[Justmadeit]

Bangla and his gang are impossible. They think they are so clever but are actually just tedious bores. So cliquey it's embarrasing.

I remember the conversation that led to No Drama Lama getting banned and remember wondering how long she
would last once engaged with Bangla and I was proved right.

DS has changed beyond all recognition and there is something seriously off with the moderation.

What was your name on there?

 

[RedMagnolia]

Not really as most friends use gmail.

I'd let you have my DS account to play with but I can't remember the log in details and the email address I used is long gone.

 

[Veebee27]

I would have liked to but refrained as I didn't want to get banned . Wish I had now as I didn't say or do anything worthy of a ban so at least telling them what I really thought would have been worth it.

I agree that there are definitely a few that aren't all there - the pleasant members seem to have friends, jobs and lives where the most vocal and nasty ones are on the forum all day every day so I think that is fairly telling.

Exactly. Don't get me going on the one that has the perfect family with top jobs in every profession going or the really vile one who once claimed that her husband was a hospital doctor. My thoughts were "Christ, that's scary!"

 

[chandlercheesecake]

I'm pretty sure someone faked their own death last year, but I don't think they were caught out?

The person's posts were very personal and far fetched, and actually a similar style to Tanya1982 thinking about it.

 

[No Drama Llama]

Did you get a permanent ban too, what did you do wrong ?

I did - I made the point that to have an informed opinion, you'd need to look at all the possibilities. Apparently this is a very upsetting thing to say to someone on a public discussion forum because it's not taking their concerns seriously.
