It’s poll time folks!

What should we do with our contrary man in Berlin?

Ban Hugo for a month
Make Hugo guest moderator for a month
This poll has ended.

    Stay! He is a dear dear friend and an important part of our community! Every point of view matters, including the racists!

      I would like a month off Hugo just for the peace and quiet.

      Consider it an experiment.

      Will people’s joy of posting on here actually have increased at the end of it? I imagine it will have.

        Just get rid.

        Guy’s a complete fucking idiot.

        And as for Hugo etc etc.

        Oi oi!

        bosstrabs I can’t say I get ‘joy’ in posting here, but it’s a good community nonetheless.

        Vote has been cast…..hopefully we’ll get a break from the tedium

          Banning seems a bit harsh, he might just be lonely.

          Is there any way to enforce a character limit (one teed up for OLB) on his posts?

          He posts as much shite as plenty of others do here, so why ban him? (Unless I have missed something recently)

          He clearly loves a really pedantic argument, which seem to wind people up, but don’t engage

          I also think he may have been to the legendary bants school as I have found some of his posts funny the last few months.

            This town message board needs an enema! Give him the ban wand I say!

            RichM I also think he may have been to the legendary bants school as I have found some of his posts funny the last few months.

            Would be a first for bantzzzz school!

              Not arsed, not a fan of banning people unless you are a snidy cunt

                Noticed that from when you and Millsy typically let Flares operate for about a week whenever he comes back under an alias.

                    Got my mate to write a little plug in for Firefox which hides all his posts. Occasionally it doesn’t load, but otherwise I haven’t seen anything of him for months.

                      mono-stereo cancel culture fascists out in force again.

                      Trial by public social media/forum etc. polls have also shown time and again to be shit ways to come to decisions.

                      As an aside, if you are going to ban me, because let’s be honest you guys usually make your mind up before even suggesting the possibility - classic ‘Nudge’ theory manipulation techniques - can’t you at least wait until I’m actually busy?!

                      And why are there only two options, with them both being for a whole month?

                        It’s only cancel culture if people are offended by your opinions, Hugo.

                        People aren’t - we’re just utterly bored of your multi-paragraph tedious pedantry.

                          bosstrabs but is it more boring than some of the other shite people just repeat in every topic?

                          Admittedly Hugo’s posts are just much longer

                          If we are banning people because we are bored of their posts, please can we ban you and Ed too for a month?

                            Ignoring him works wonders for me.
