We seem to have divergent points of view on posting. Should we ... 1 Post only rugby topics in the top section. 2 Post any sports related topic in the top section. 3 Post any topic which members find of interest all in one section....with the courtesy of clearly indicating the topic. My vote is 3.....what's your's?

I think we should use the features of the board that have been provided.
Rugby in the Rugby section
Other Sports in the Other Sports section
Non Sports in the Beeno's Tr(*)mpet section (but let's change the forum name and stop giving these two blithering idiots any credibility)
So my vote is 1.

You only need to ask yrself why the creator of the board made three seperate forums if he did'nt want the order in the first place...
..but i can understand how certain people with failing mental capacity and limited rugby knowledge would want to ruin it and turn it into their own personal messaging service...maybe we need an extra forum added on for these muppets..

Option 1: I think now that we have 3 sections for posting, we should use them (at least 99% of the time).
How would it look to a new poster to see the rugby forum covered in Donald Trump, or the final Muslim/Christian war etc.?
I think many rugby enthusiasts would be put off that- and the forum could turn into a groupie area for people to post personal one on one messages. . How was your holiday, or how is your piles etc, etc). This should be in the Beeno section at best
People do respond in the other sections. There is just less interest. Maybe if they were used more often- they would get become more active.
It is a rugby website, and I think bombarding the rugby section with non-rugby stuff- is putting personal interests ahead of the community.

Can't be bothered to visit separate sections and it's not like there are so many posts on here that one struggles to keep up. Would be different if the board was overflowing with content.

 I'm not really bothered , so I would vote 3 if it was only about me, but there are clearly people who can't handle it. What I do object to is people bashing Beenz for posting non rugby stuff above, but when it suits them , they do so as well. Post what you like where you decide to do so, but stop being babies when others do too.
Happy posting 2017 to all. ill5conform to the majority if the goose and gander are treated equally . ...which wasn't the case till now.

 Number one of course ,if beansh!t -for-brains has his way it will once again be his own personal cesspit/pulpit ,again .And as Mr Sharkbok points out it can be very off putting to anyone looking in here to see religious rants and Drumpfery ,I have invited people to look on here only to be told thanks but no way aft er seeing dipsh!ts rantings.

 Option 3. It would help stop all the stinking hypocrisy of dense denise, warped Dud, ab ASS and rooitwitterbug who posts non rugby items then cry like babies when somebody else does the same. Bwahahahhahahahahahahahaha you cant make this stuff up - talk about being EGG MAGNETS
You find those unable to debate and against freedom of discussion not favouring 3. Of course I am not totally opposed to Beeno's Trum*pet being done away with given the quality of posts I have pit there. 
Its a pity some retards here get the vote? Ha hahahahahahahaha

I'm with you Ka Mate. Number 1 all the way. It's a slippery slope when all that other rubbish is normalized .

But why some Saffas don't want to talk rugby anymore is the concerning part? Are they too embarrassed or something.

I salute the ones that are keeping the faith. That's what it's all about keeping a positive attitude when you're going through a rough patch. There's plenty to be positive about

The Lions and Stormers for example are both very dangerous sides and should do well in their conferences in 2017.


The Blitzbokke are also world beaters. Surely there is a lot of emerging talent coming through the grades and CC to talk about as well? Then there's a multitude of Saffas plying there trade in European clubs to follow.


Just a thought, my five cents as a solution to the current mess the forum is becoming ,My motto being there are no problems- only solutions....

so I'm suggesting  colour coded links to the forums on the forum homepage instead of the current system..

So like pink for the football /cricketers forum for example  ,


Brown for Beanob's diarrhea .


Black is the best colour if you're taking rugby 

(or green as a Go to colour.)

Yellow for friendly chinwags forum.etc

Red for other sports but you get the drift , get your creative thinking/ problem solving hats on and maybe by slightly changing the format will stop a lot of arguments.

If all posters started posting non-rugby stuff in the rugby section- I wonder if those that already do this would realise that option 1 is the best. 
The site editor policy is clear by having 3 separate sections. He has been tolerant to allow this- and this leniency should be respected.

The site editor himself has posted cricket postings in the rugby section. Your views are noted but I would say this has never been an issue in 15 years of posting. When rugby is on posters stick to rugby. When it's not on we entertain ourselves in various ways. There is no holy grail here....it's for fun. This Board in it's current form was started by posters objecting to excessive interference by Board editors on Supersupporter. It's ironical that one of the late but most vociferous tranferees, Rooiurinal, is now acting like the oberstabswachtmeisters he so often parodies.

 When there isn't much rugby we start talking about how we talk about rugby. 
Mozart I think the brought this topic up once before and your conclusion was that we would post rugby topics in the rugby section but be loose about it, i.e. if there was the occasional thread on cricket, etc that was ok. I recall you were concerned that posting in the other sections didn't get much notice. This conclusion is fine with me.

So far it's 9 to 8 in favour of 3. Obviously very close. I propose we leave the polls open to capture all the posters who post mostly during the week. But regardless it's likely to be close and we don't want to leave half the Board unhappy, so some form of compromise is in the cards.

 ... Mozart i think you may have contradicted yrself and voted for 1 or 2 instead with this comment '' I can understand that politics, religion and even such topics as Global Warming are divisive. I would have no problem in having that section below even if I don't favour it.'.....that is what most of us want i think so how can you not want that and still vote for having it..?

 Spot on Brycy.

My opinion on this is that the rugby section of the board should be about rugby but that includes related banter, jabs, (Moz vs CleverMike), etc. as most of them are in some way related to rugby.


           Image provided to aid comprehension                   
Some might say "ban it" but I disagree.
Other sports like cricket, etc. should be in that section but I am not bothered about the occasional exception (especially during the SH rugby off season as there is almost nothing going on rugby-wise.
The political stuff & topics such as climate change should be down in the Beeno insanity section
I agree with Sharkbok on his point about those who visit our board being put off by the current state of affairs - this is mainly a problem during the SH off season..

Related banter and jabs will go off topic. If you want a rugby only Board, it's rugby by string and within strings. No more comments about Jarpies....just a nice sterile debate.

 No I believe this is everybody's board and you don't rule. But you have done a compelling imitation of Barlee, much better than your Oberfeldwebel posts mocking him.

For me the logical vote would be 3, because I don't mind a little of this and that provided the majority of the posts are rugby related, but unfortunately we have Beans spamming us non stop with non-rugby posts which gets annoying. If he could offer some restraint in bombarding us with his copy and paste bore fests, I would vote 3, but he cannot, therefore I vote 1.

When you post in the bottom sections, your posts are "unimportant" in my view, as you already posted it below the older rugby topics. If you want to "force" posters to post in the other sections, then at least supply a link with highlights (newest) from the other section close to the top of the page...

I usually limit my reading/posting to the top 30 (newest) threads and can't be bothered with what happens down the page. A much bigger problem is the spam.

I also usually don't mind a few off-topic posts, but it should be limited to one or two.

-----
And then, sadly in society, some people will ALWAYS step out of line and do as they please as long as rules aren't enforced in some or other way, which means one or two topics will suddenly be more when that person gets a "bee in their bonnet"...
-----
There are three options in my view.
1. Leave it as it is and keep bitching and moaning.
2. Leave it as it is and stop bitching and moaning
3. Use other software that can allow the forum Nazi's like Rooinek to move threads to the other sections and that have the functionality to stop/block spam posts

-----
Getting back to the original poll... Gut feel says 3... (But Beeno must still have his own section down there!! )

This is my take on the board poll thus far.
Admit1 could be added- but I never once seen a rugby post from him. He seems to be a refugee from Kampstaalstraad that will take any opinion opposite to Rooineck.
On that note, most of the international posters (Kiwi's) seem to favour option 1- which suggests the best way to increase the board membership is to use this.
Some posters seem stuck between option 2 and 3. Some want to post anything anywhere with a headline
Column1 Option 1  Option2  Option3 (Rugby for Rugby, Other Sports for Other Sports, and anything else Beeno1 section) (Any sport in any section. Politics, religion, climate etc in Beeno Section) Option3 (Ignore forum setup. Post anything, anywhere mozart 2 clevermike  3 rooineck 1 Brycy 1 sharkbok 1 Justwin 1 abaseque 1 plum 3 wardrad 1 beeno 3 oimatey 3 black adder 1 ka mate 1 Bluebok 1

True, but Beenz was actually quite accomodating untill others started ignoring the different sections for topics...or am I deluded ?

It could be a statistical anomaly- But if you relate the poll table to politics (T-rum-p) and religion (one God):
it seems most of the people that chose option 3 are more right wing that those that chose option 1?
