I'm not sure I can recall a couple of days of worse posting on this forum in the last few years. Utter sh*te due to 5-10 posters across multiple threads.

It's Christmas, and I've barely been online - had the toddler at the GP and he has the flu, so he's barely been off my lap since, temp over 40 etc. So I haven't had 5 minutes to read threads, and I'm sure the other lads are also busy over Christmas. We can't read every post, we rely on reported posts a lot of the time to step in and act. But I can count one hand the number of reported posts in the last week or so. If you're going to bitch about the standard of posting, at least report said posts so mods can do something about it.

For the record, I wasn't having a go at the mods. I don't think there's anything particularly reportable...just the incessant whinging, repetition of baseless rubbish and happy ignorance has worn very thin.

In fairness Zippy I don't think it's anything to do with the mods, it's just been a couple of absolute clowns with agendas. There's nothing technically against the charter with what they're posting, it's just a nightmare to witness it.

Loath as I am to invite a flood of reported posts, individual posts may not be reportable but may be part of a pattern of low level trolling, which we will deal with if possible. I'm not saying report every post, but if someone is being a dick in general, do report that.

You can't report posts you don't see.

Anybody following the darts this year? An absolute thriller just now between Gary Anderson and Chris Dobey.

Further, I reported Buer's anti-Hayes posts millions of times and I still see the effer posting. The system is RIGGED! SAD!

They were pre-approved and fully endorsed by the mod team.

Who said that?!?!

That new Black mirror movie is a total mindf*ck.

Most of my decisions were seemingly rejected in favour of redo's and eventually it began to feel like a personality test. Quit before half way because I wasn't sure if it was entertainment or an evaluation!

I've read a bit about it.

It's a novel way of stopping people giving out about the ending I guess cos they choose it :pac:

Which, from what I guess as I've never watched any episodes yet, is actually pretty Black Mirroresque in itself!

Well as 2018 draws to a close, I feel the NZ senior men's rugby season could be summed up by a pint of Guinness: All Black, but owned by the Irish

I have stock in Deagio so technically his statement holds.

Never let a poetic statement get in the way of a blunt fact.

Keep fighting the good fight.

It's only two hours. Which is just long enough to really piss me off but not long enough to completely ruin my day.

But I have to get public transport at the other end for another four hours and getting there later means a much longer gap between one of the connections.

Saturday 9.35pm
Colts @ Texans

Sunday 1.15am
Seahawks @ Cowboys

Sunday 6pm
Chargers @ Ravens

Sunday 9.40pm
Eagles @ Bears

Chargers @ Ravens is probably the pick of the bunch. Saturday will be busy for me: Two interpros and then Colts @ Texans.

Watching my Bears in January will be a strange experience.

Have you ever had to take down and put away the Christmas decorations on your own?
