    If nobody posted you’d moan it was boring.

    Stop complaining and start reading – you’re wasting your own time marb. :wink:

    I suppose the obvious thing to do if you think too many people are starting new topics would be to start a new topic!!!

    Pointless thread it may be but some people are posting on average almost 15 times a day (mostly crap too)….. that seems sad :? is flyposting not illegal?

    From someone who reads, but rarely posts. There are lots of good topics, but they spiral into crap…

    I think the moderators do an amazing job, and a word in the ear of some of the pointless posters may well have the desired effect.

    The fact that some people can have over 500 posts within a couple of months says everything…I’m told if you sift through enough shite you might find a golden nugget….but its been a while since i’ve seen any on here. :(

    Imo, the ‘Star’ system doesn’t help.
    Some new posters seem to think they are some sort of second class member until they have 5 stars, and post just about anything to reach that level.
    Does it really serve any proper purpose?

    Not all new members are after their stars quick :) 68 posts in 6 months for myself is probably below average, but there’s no point in posting just for the sake of it! A lot of topics have been generated around PN/KS/Denman etc, in fact I was guilty myself of starting the topic of Rivalry In The Paul Nicholls Stable, but at the time I thought it was valid to do so.

    Why not change the star system to 1 star for each year of membership. The poster of the year and order of merit competition winners could be awarded an additional star as well as their regular annual star.

    I would be awarded 6 stars for making this suggestion 8)

    I can’t believe you have started a new thread urging people not to start new threads!

    I told you I was an influence :wink: :lol:

    Wonder if the same bumper-to-bumper forum is matched in the flat season? There tends to be a huge mass of jumping fanatics here.

    I’ve never really had many people that I can talk to about racing on a regular basis, so when I found this forum I thought I’d died and gone to heaven…if I rabbit on about things, please feel free to tell me to shut up….

    I think your spot on and some comments on here are downright childish.

    I swear I never knew I had 5*s till I read this post….haven’t a clue what they are supposed to represent and care even less. Everyone on here should be a member nothing more nothing less IMO unless they are a Mod then we know who’s ass to sook up to
