Mods,
How do I close my account? I've looked around my settings etc but can't find anything...
Reason for leaving is that I can't put up with the amount of unsubstantiated, disrespectful mud slinging that is now 90% of the threads on here. Even the ones that start off talking sense and about football end up with people slagging off the board, the chairman, making stuff up based upon hearsay and it's got to a point of complete ridiculousness. This forum has been completely ruined.
I know we are a cynical lot and rightly so based upon history but I must see something different to everyone else as I don't see that the owners have done anything they haven't said the would and despite all this stuff about no investment or no money or potential takeover or unpaid bills, I'm yet to see any substantiated evidence. In fact the opposite with more vacancies being advertised etc.
Anyhow everyone is entitled to their opinions and views and I'm not calling anyone a lier but I just can't be bothered reading endless threads that are just slagging of the board, the chairman, DC and scapegoating players and then people arguing back. It's playground bickering not decent debate and conversation!
It comes to something when I get more meaningful conversation and debate from my Ted mates about both Bristol teams than I get or read on here.
Anyhow if someone can tell me how to close the account that would be great. (I've also tried not reading threads or even come on the site for a week or so in the hope that it would improve but it hasn't, it's got worse (see Hamer being on having a gas thread)
This place was fantastic when it first started, it's now just turned into a place to slag off the board etc.
Cheers Bluestickgas

Why not just stop looking at the Forum, it's really simple.

I've tried but then when I'm searching for news about rovers and based upon my experience when I first joined and the forum was good, I keep hoping it will have got better or we might have some truly insightful and substantiated news... My own worse enemy on that front! If I can't delete my account then that's all I'll have to do

To be honest, it's better if you try and control the emotion and just stop posting as once you've closed your account it could be a real to start up again. Easier said than done I know. If it helps, there's still some really good posters on here that share you're view so you're not alone. Hang in there fella. Bags.

I think it is real sad that this person has to close his account due to the actions of other posters.

My own worse enemy on that front! If I can't delete my account then that's all I'll have to do Close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and repeatedly chant the mantra “Everything is great, the landing light are on” Thank you for your almost disrespectful sarcasm.....it's clear what your view and opinion is whether you have facts to support it or not only you will know..... And you have kind of just proved my point. I've said why I want to close my account and why (constant unsubstantiated rumour creation and digs at the board) and because I don't share your views you come on and imply that I'm not listening (to what?) and have my head in the sand. I just want to delete my account as I'm fed of posts like this!? (And I know I've just responded so have done exactly what I'm complaining about)

All it takes for all the negative stuff to take over the forum is for good posters to close their accounts and leave.

It's really something that I'm just not sure what to do.
5 or 6 people seem intent on forcing their own agenda and they are killing this forum in the process.

But why do these people want to destroy this forum if they love Bristol Rovers ? Are they supporters of other teams just causing mayhem because they think its funny ? Are they just misguided souls ? Are they being paid by outside parties to spread misinformation? or are they just stupid

Bluestick Ride out the storm my friend; I have had discussions which I have indicated I would like to meet the poster to discuss in person. On one occasion that was misinterpreted to be a threat' anybody who knows me would laugh at that notion. In the main those detractors/ITK brigade are a minority in the offline fanbase, give them a stiff ignoring

It is annoying bluestick with that I agree. But it’s a Forum with as many opinions as there are users on here. Some of them hear a rumour from someone who knows someone else and by the end of the next 3/4 pages it’s become fact when all that’s happened is people who want to believe it believe it and those that don’t ....don’t. As others have said ignore it, don’t read or come on the site for a week or so. In the end all posters can post what they like within the guidelines and the mods do a good job in reminding us about how we say things but it’s up to individuals and those who constantly moan and complain are well known and their reputation goes before them. Others on here are good posters and I enjoy reading their take on things. I bet there are some on here that you agree with completely, hang on to those and ignore the others. I posted on the “calling all Rose tinters” thread and asked one of the more notorious moaners a “serious question” as I would have loved to know how the moaners “were saving our club” as he put it and days later I’m still waiting for him to tell me how they are helping but then I never expected an answer so I wasn’t waiting for one. It’s far easier to moan, complain rather than explain or argue points with hard evidence. Hope you don’t delete, the forum needs positive posters! UTG!

Remember as the song goes, we're Rovers supporters we're faithful and true...Rise above it son! 🙂🍺

Feel much the same as you bluestickgas. I don’t post much on here and often think I’m just not going to bother reading anything on here, but I live in hope that one day there will be less rumours and more positive news or even some facts. Keep the faith
