Puns Out

[My_Wife_Camille]

I put it to the forum that a minority of pro-pun posters are knowingly and carelessly creating a negative atmosphere on this here online community on a regular basis for their own amusement.

This is trolling and I ask admins to put a stop to it at once.

I propose one day in the .net chokey for every pun posted.

I like puns.

A well-delivered pun, especially when someone has made an unfortunate typo or the like, is something I find very amusing.

In the interests of natural justice you should get (pun)ted.......

Nowt wrong with some puns.

[CapitalGreen]

I like puns.

A well-delivered pun, especially when someone has made an unfortunate typo or the like, is something I find very amusing.

and I don’t think anyone would have any complaints if that is what was occurring. The reality is that we have streams of posts of puns running over multiple pages with people trying to outdo each other but where very few of the puns are well delivered let alone funny.

:agree:

They’re chronic. Pages of Hornby puns yesterday - not one of which was funny - which were then brought back up again today for another bunch of them. One or two, fair enough. It’s the desperation to keep it going for as long as possible that is brutal to read.

Folk claiming they only do it when there’s no transfer rumours - the minute a rumour popped up in Hornby they were all over it to ruin the thread.

I think we could do with another striker and somebody else in midfield as we are going to get injuries no doubt. Anyone heard anything on any more possible players?

What ruins it? There was very little else to add to the thread after all.

Wait until Friday. Plenty of strikers available. Nip along to Longstone Depot and check them out...

Was there not? People could have discussed Hornby potentially signing (whether he is or not is another matter). I don’t doubt for a second that people go onto that thread, see the rumour, see the next 2 pages full of puns and just don’t bother.

I've given up on puns for the time being but might join in again.

Bans? Not for me, I'll trust to the admins to decide generally but we could end up going down the wrong path if we just arbitrarily ban what just happens to create a severe reaction for some.

What next?

Ban the folk who make spelling mistakes or mis-use grammar because it upsets the pedants and purists?Ban folk who call celtc celtc because others want to give them the I back?

I could go on...

If those things were done in a deliberate attempt to troll the forum then yes, into the chokey with them too. Trolling should either be allowed or not.

Trolling should either be allowed or not.See what you mean, but just making the point that if we ban what offends or upsets or frustrates one group or individual then surely the same consideration needs to be extended to anything else that others might want to ban, where will it end?

If I don't like something I'll skip through it or fire a response off but where does the banning end?

My proposal is based on a simple 1:1 ratio of puns to days banned. Using this model, the banning would end immediately on the assumption that there were no more puns.

[Dalianwanda]

How can you skip something you have to read before you know what it is?

There’s nothing we can do about them. Its a discussion board and for some reason some folk seem to enjoy the word play. So be it. I cant but help sigh when the first couple roll in knowing what’s to come.

It’s part of the forum and folk just need to suck it up.

[Golden Bear]

I'm very surprised this thread isn't already filled with real football transfer chat.

[Since452]

Heard we're looking at Hornby from Everton.


Sorry to hijack thread with noncence drivel 😉

[HoboHarry]

Ban posters for making puns but allow the usual suspects to come on and tell us how the team is s***e, Hecky is s***e etc etc every time we concede a goal. That's the spirit......

Yes, and aloud.

On a more serious note, when are the admin pricks going to get with the government program and enable double spacing after a full stop? The current gloomstery technology autocorrects to single space.

Yes exactly. People should be allowed to express their opinions freely whether it’s positive, negative, popular or unpopular.

[Speedway]

Some questions:

1. Is the pun-ishment retrospective?
2. Is there a statute of limitations of the retrospective pun-ishment to create an oasis of pun free chat on .net or are you not choosing to look back in anger?
3. Does the pun-ishment also apply to deliberately made up transfer rumours, in which case how does the glass houses and stones rule apply?
4. Is there a hard backstop on any retrospective pun-ishment?
5. Are you proposing to leave .net on October 31st without a deal on puns?
6. How much will the NHS gain by your proposal being accepted?

What’s your thoughts on the potential signing of Hornby then mate? Let’s add to the discussion of that now then? He looks a decent prospect on paper for me and will be a good player in time, like the boy who plays for st Johnstone now we had under stubbsy but probably not right for top flight Scottish football at this moment.
