What's wrong with RAWK?

[Liverpool lad]

Their "Off Topic" page has thrown up a few gems over the years. I'm not sure if you also post on there given what you've put above, but any ideas on what happened to Grifter? His rants are the stuff of legend. Also, a chap called Hazzak who's missus got stuck in their cat flap at home. If that sounds like a funny thing, the thread on it might just be the funniest thread ever on RAWK.

 

I am still on there under a different name than I use on here. The lad who swallowed the ring pull was funny as well. Not sure about Grifter and his whereabouts, he is one funny fella though.

 

I stay away from the footy discussion on there, it is fucking silly on there, the email campaign they organised for Rafa was the end of the line for me.

Damn you Stouff.

I've just been banned for a week for calling Paul Konchesky dogshit.

[Gary Mac Legend]

The hypocrisy here is astounding!

[Hodgsons Undies]

I use RAWK for the off topic discussion as it quite good. The Liverpool part of it can be fucked off big time, too many posters and too many people towing the line on there.

This is what I do not get though. Towing what line? People have opinions and, as long as you are not a wum or troll or whatever, I cannot for the life of me see why expressing your opinion gets you banned from a forum. Since when did rawk become the internet equivalent of Pravda for the Royatollah anyway? Stalinists!

The thing is i'm actually a RAWK supporter. I pay some money quartley like others do to help keep the site running. I've never been abusive to others members and I haven't gone out of my way to wind people up. So although I may have gone too far by calling Konchesky dogshit, I hardly think that warrants a ban.

Especially since Konchesky is dogshit

dogshit is letting him off lightly

[billypilgrimnz]

I was banned from RAWK for good for posting this in a thread entitled "Better late than never: A tribute to Rafa" (or something like that):

 

Better late than never? Has it been 15 minutes already?

 

Totally intolerant of any criticism of Rafa unless you grovel and frame it in the most delicate way possible.

Code72 is Kaizer? Never knew that. You owe jeffiner 10 bucks ya thieving cunt

 

Really, who the fuck are you and what the fuck is jeffiner?

Nah, think its just whoever the manager is. Otherwise why ban people for criticising the Royatollah and his regime?

[Hodgsons Undies]

Unbelievable! 4 week ban served. Said 'sack Hodgson' after the debacle today, got a warning! Yeah rawk, lets all bury our heads in the sand.

What's your username - I'll check and reinstate you.

[Lycan]

Tbf I think RAWK is a good website and I like using it despite them banning me for a week. It could be so much better though if some of the mods would just ease up a bit.

He was wrong....it only took five months.

Dion Fanning is a sycophantic little snide who practically blew Benitez with that ego stroking monstrosity yesterday. Fuck him.

[peterb17]

i have never been warned before and posted that Hodgson should F off cos he is a yes man at about 6 o clock went to log back in and had been suspended for a week..............if it was a lie i could say alright but it seemed heavy handed to me.

[Johnni]

The 3 most used words used on RAWK yesterday were probably - Now, Happy, You.

I tried joining up there a couple of years ago, but was told they had fulfilled there membership quota, and to try another time. I'm glad I never bothered. There's a handful of really good and informative threads, and some of the posters are OK, but on the whole, there's far too many posters intolerant of opinions outside of the 'forum consensus'. The mods there seem guilty of encouraging this mentality too. As a result, debate is stifled, which surely goes against what a discussion forum should be all about.

 

I noticed they have allowed members to post on the match day threads again, which is nice of them. Although what the fuck the mods (and those who agreed with it) were thinking when they banned in-match discussion in the first place is beyond me. If some people want an unbiased rolling report, there's other sites (BBC) for that, and even if they wanted one on their site, why not allow another one alongside it for those FM's who do want to discuss the match?

 

It all seems a tad oppressive and Stalag-like for me.

[gkmacca]

I bet they wish they could just 'lock' bits of life up like they do threads. I've never seen anything like it.

[Mark M]

Just got banned from there yesterday, I was saying Roy was out of his depth and we need a replacement. And I didn't even use any bad language. Seems you cant have an opinion thats against one of the Mod's.

[RedinSweden]

 

What's with the white sauce? eh?

[RobbieOR]

I hate all this bollocks about I only criticised him. You must have done something wrong. They dont just hand out bans.
