Amongst all the stuff below our user names, almost everyone has “Believer”

Am I right in thinking this is earned after a certain number of posts along with the six stars? Thing is just lately it doesn’t seem to be a fair description for a growing number of posters (god knows why, many have never known us so successful).

Perhaps it could be replaced with Doubter for those that panic in half time threads or get unnecessarily negative towards players or the team? I know I’m being a bit mean probably but the lack of belief at times is remarkable.

They could always re-earn the Believer tag by changing their evil ways!

Anyway just a half tongue in cheek thought, mainly to get this off my chest.

Thanks for listening.

These fuckin' newbies are doing my head in.

Close The Gates!

I rarely stray out the news forum these days, but not a surprise 2020 was a bad breeding year for n00bs.

I should have stayed in the news forum. Christ.

My recent responses I specifically said I was playing devils advocate to show how it can be a fine line. Nothing other than that.

There was once a RAWK adage that posters should read more and post less, back in the day. I don't necessarily agree with it, everything should be free-flowing - although there is one other poster that liked to put himself about a bit too much recently. Anyway, I'd suggest the theory applies to you since you've registered mate. We encourage vibrant discussion but you're weighing in on everything and on subjects you clearly have little knowledge about.
Please refrain

Are you saying not knowing anything about an SOS board member in an SOS thread is a problem? Lol. Point taken though I think I am generally being supportive but just like poking holes in things for something to discuss.

John's main point wasn't necessarily aimed at you, more like someone else - "one other poster"....

Massive inflow of utter c*nts straight from the annals of Twitter and Reddit.

Many are probably previously banned tools.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I do feel like RAWK could use a fresh influx of new posters. It's all a little repetitive and stale at the moment.

I know if you open the gates, there will be a whole bunch of shit that comes in, but they can be weeded out over time.

We'll have a chat in the staff room Tubs mate.

John I say close the borders and make GOT pay for it.

If registration is opened again I'm making a bunch of alt accounts to just follow this one around and agree with it.

While we're making requests can we have the ticket exchange back for loyal users of the old one please?

No riff raff.

That won't be happening mate, sorry.

Let's get rid of the new batch of 'em. Trolling motherfuckers aren't even subtle these days.
