Leon is a grumpy bum, but after reading a few of his posts (esp CL final), i don't care what he does so long as he keeps posting.

I agree with shrimpy , I fu'ckin' hate Elite members ,bunch of cu'nts constantly posting new and interesting posts . I prefer a forum thats composed purely of newbies where you can discuss the same topic/s over and over again forever.

On a slightly more serious note .
The fact that the number of posts made by a member is displayed and that "badges of rank" are awarded immediately introduces elitism to the forum and creates an at times serious and unhealthy division amongst members. .It also encourages spamming ,as some members seek to increase their post count and move up the illusionary hierarchal ladder . Perhaps we should just retain the date a member joined and remove all references to "status" and number of posts made . Lets face it , newbie or elite member ,6 or 6000 posts is not whats important . What is important is the quality of our contribution .

ps . On the other hand it's taken me ages to get to 6000 + posts and become a legendary hero ,so you johnny come latelys can just fu'ck off ! :rasp

My twopennethworth is that the forum is only like life itself. You start off not really knowing what's really going on and if you have any sense you gradually get the hang of it. As I see it, there isn't an elite club of look downers dominating the boards. It's just that over a period of time, certain members earn respect because of the way they debate the point. Others unfortunately constantly make daft points and post smilies and stuff and you lose the thread of what you are talking about. Really if we are honest, we know who the most sensible posters are and we naturally gravitate towards their points of view. Indeed on this thread there has been contributions from Dalglish (a regular at home games), Andy G (who lives in Spain I think) and Peewee (don't know where he lives) who are all sensible people who make sensible ponts.
As for Leon, his brand of humour can take a bit of getting used to but once you do he is hilarious. He is also one of the most knowledgeable posters on the board save for a blind spot when it comes to Robert Earnshaw. He can be a bit pedantic at times but there you go, nobody's perfect. He's a top man, jeez if we got rid of people like him the forum might as well call it a day.
I recently started a topic re Michael Owen. One of the guys questioned why I started and I answered him in full. I wasn't in the least bit offended, I merely explained to him in detail why I think he called it wrong. If peopleget under your skin you could try this approach but overall my advice would be to just let it all wash over you. While you've been readfing this, people have probably got run over and stuff. It's all pish and nonsense really bud' so post on and chill out.

Had a quick scan through this one and can sympathise with the newbies for feeling that they are looked down on. I personally don't feel looked down on, but I find it hard to come up with anything of relevance in comparison to some of the elite members as most things have been discussed 10-fold in the past and from their perspective not worth going over again. I understand that and that is what leads a lot of the ongoing topics to originate from them.

Respect to LeonMC for not having gotten involved in this one.

Shrimpy you havent obviously met Leon, cause if you had you wouldnt start a topic on him

.
He's geniunly a really nice fella, but sometimes he doesnt come across that way on the forum. But in person he is a good fella and a great laugh. He loves Liverpool and goes to all the games, its just he is very passionate about the club, I dont know whats happened between you and him like, but
Its only the internet so dont take things to serious. :buttrock

When I first joined the forum me and Leon had a ding dong but that was over the bad ooters vibe that was going on at the time, Leon is just trying to look after the forum and I can see where he is coming from cos as Woof said their are a lot of newbies that come on and start clogging the place up with :censored:

, but also as Woof said they will get the hang of how the forum works with time, I agree that Leon can be a bit harsh but you'll learn that he isn't being personal.
