How long before the " Politics Forum " Refugees get this place shut down ??

Very well done on your reply.

I'm quite prepared to discuss anything

Fair enough, but this is supposed to be a 'horse racing' forum not general discussion forum...


  Charlie, you cant be that thick ????  Its a Horse Racing forum ffs, take your shyte elsewhere.

Here's a suggestion for the polooters. How about polooting a forum that nobody posts on like Labs Chat?

That way, when it gets shut down, nobody will GAF

You're welcome

I've read quite a few posts today that typically I would normally have responded to but I'm trying to switch off from polical arguments as it dawned on me no one has their mind changed by the betfair forum.

This thread isn't about horse racing ffs.

I think he's on about your 2 pro immigration threads earlier.

I suggested going to a quieter thread but I think they like the limelight of a busy thread ...

I didn't start any pro-immigration threads, I started a well done on anti-racism thread.

Far too many off-topic posts these days (not just aimed at you charlie)

The only answer I can see is reporting totally OT new threads as 'spam' using the report button, though that relies on efficient moderation of course....

I've been here for over 20 years and never reported anyone and never been banned. Starting a thread about well done on peaceful protests is not OTT. Persons on here are getting my threads pulled for no reason. I haven't flooded the forum so I assume it's either personal or political which is ironic.

It will be political, charlie.

I already said it wasn't just you charlie

why does it matter stu? just don't click into anything you're not interested in. don't really matter if it's HR or not.

Posts that are massively off-topic really need to be banned on here - sadly that wouldn't have been case without more recent events.

It's flooding this forum cider, essentially ruining it, and likely to cause a closedown if mods don't like it, then no racing forum left...

eg there's a thread about the racing league in Chepstow. i don't bet on the racing league so I didn't read the thread. should be even easier to avoid OT stuff

it wont

if it was i doubt id have had so many deleted

  Spot on Stu.

horse racing channel is nothing like what it was anyway. save for a few notable exceptions. it's a decade since people put up cogent tips with analysis on a regular basis.

a lot of it is nonsense

however, there's no need to be stupid and starting multiple threads

stu was talking about the forum before politics was shut I believe.

I wouldn't know how to report someone and never would if i could.

It need not be Multiple threads Cider, if you have a dozen or so Refugees from the politics forum posting at the same time on individual threads.

i thought refugees were welcome. just not on the horse forum

Same Glasgow that posted politics on Newcastle thread, month after month...

Can't make it up,...

we do also have kyc I suppose.

as stu alludes to there has been multiple OT threads on horse racing. personally i don't feel it's a problem unless it gets excessive. my main interests in betting are horse racing, specials and politics and I've posted on all of them for many years. Though I only got into politics in a semi serious way in 2019.

There was a horse racing thread on the politics forum,to be very fair to all on that forum there wasn't a single 'complaint' in the year it was there.

I personally don't think anyone went over the top in regards the last weeks carry on,there may have been the potential for someone to say something they regretted later on reflection possibly but,shut it is and that is betfairs wishes, i can see though that the hr forum won't want many political threads on it, i won't do it anyway.

So Glasgow how many multiple threads are there?

So people posting on individual threads is wrong. You need to look at yourself.

Charlie - this place gets shut down if people use it like twitter etc. If they post about the relevant sports in the relevant forums (with the odd deviation) it keeps going.

When was the last time you started a thread about horsey stuff Glasgow?

I'm not arguing about that, so if you want to apply that rule then report any thread not about racing. You wont, most people on here are sh!te scared of Warwick Hunt.

Why would those who wish to migrate from the politics forum choose our horse racing forum?  Judging by the posts on here it hardly seems more fertile ground that the Football one.

The people who have started the argument on here aren't from the Politics forum they're from the Horsey forum, I posted one thread about a peaceful protest by anti-racists and then the accusations of being flooded by politics forum started. All of course unfounded mainly by people arguing against a peaceful protest.

Yes, posts from 5th August are in danger of dropping off first page.

Not sure the Labour councillor currently in jail got the peaceful memo, Charlie!

A fair bit of pearl clutching here but horse racing has always had a bit of off topic and politics. No need to get the knickers twisted.

Charlie dont take us all on here for ****s, it was obvious from your first ( ever ? ) post on here that the other refugees would follow, it looks like B/F are now monitoring your shyte and deleting it, well done bf.

When chit-chat closed everybody went over to the politics forum. Now the politics forum is shut you may as well take over the poker forum. It’s dead on there anyway. It won’t take long for others to follow. You could be the Pied Piper, Charlie!

We really do have enough clowns posting on this forum. If all you politic loons converge over here it will be even more unbearable!

I'm not taking you all for c**s just some of you, especially you as I've just posted on other threads. One thread started by my has spooked a lot of you. Now is that because a lot of you are racist as there was nothing wrong with my thread.

Betfair may well be monitoring my posts but only because of people like you who wont have a conversation and resort to the report button.

You do have a lot of clowns posting on here who are actually scared to discuss politics.

Far more political threads on this forum than other ones.

.... Correct Kenbo, it was mentioned by several posters why here and not a forum that is hardly ever used. ??  My theory is and judging by what others have said it is simply that they can bore a bigger audience to death.  When did you last post on here Charlie. ???

About a minute ago.

Come on Glasgow when was the last time you started a Horsey thread?

You’ve stepped into a forum full of alphas, Charlie. We’d rather discuss our feelings before we talked politics!

I will have you know Glasgow has put up hundreds of losers over the years!

Thanks. I'm not intersted in whose alpha and whose not. I believe in being fair and that seems to upset a lot of people for some reason.

who's

People need to know
Charlie is an ex-squaddie suffering from PTSD from his service in Belfast, no one answered him or had a reasonable debate with him on the old politics forum.
Apologies for trespassing on the horse racing forum but thought you should know that and maybe have a look at blocking him if it upsets you.

Charlie is a decent poster and need never be blocked.

Are you opining about the defunct Politics Forum sparrow? Makes no difference imo, the last thing the HR Forum needs is any more additions to the resident conspiracy and agenda mob to clog it up?

I agree that we do not need the conspiracy nonsense on here but was just speaking of Charlie as I recall him on the Politics forum.

The point GC is making is that an influx of posters from the Politics Forum that have no interest in betting and racing will be using here for their own agenda and put it at risk if it declines into a sack of rats fighting, as most Politics are. Plenty of off topic subjects are tolerated and mostly from the same suspects but who occasionally mention horses which is unlikely to be the case with the Political refugees who don't already use here?

CG doesn't think there is fighting on the horse forum and people on it for their own agenda You are one of the most juvenile posters on the forum, just chucking around hurty names at anyone who doesn't agree with you. I don't recall you talking about racing much, either.

Proof positive that you are one of the individuals I referred to Cider, agenda driven and an inability to engage in a debate or conversation that does not suit you. You have just done what you accuse me of doing which highlights your inadequacy, as for GC, I am sure he is well aware of the fighting on here and those who engage in it, have a look in a mirror!! HTH

Engaging in a debate or conversation that doesn't suit me is what I do all the time on this forum. Plus I have put up hundreds of winning bets and recommendations over the years (in horses, specials and politics). I have not had so much as a yellow card after over 20 years' contribution to the forum. I do have an agenda as you put it, and that's not being silenced by those who think there is only one permissible opinion.

Very well done you must be a hero in your own world!!

No heroics needed, just don't get pushed around by the like of you.

That is the problem with your ilk Cider, being challenged to you means being pushed around, inadequacy to engage as I said!

You don't have any cogent arguments, only labels. However, I look forward to reading your future posts that don't include juvenile name calling and smearing.

Any examples of this juvenile name calling?

Search is dead and I ain't wasting time manually finding them. I'll let you know next time I see it.

You will wait a long time but good luck, enjoy!!

Impossible it is the likes of you that need eradicated from the HR Forum with your illiterate posting and failure to understand the difference between betting and battering!! HTH

CagliariG • August 8, 2024 5:59 PM BST
Apologies, I forgot your low intellect!!

Were you in the Pioneer Corps Charlie, only ask as you seem confused between stating facts as opposed to name calling!!?

No. Just posting you naming calling which you denied.

name calling

Shame you failed tbf!!

Are you actually going to deny that you were name calling?

No need to deny something that has not occurred, stating obvious facts seems to have you confused!

Your obvious facts aren't obvious to anyone else apart from you. They aren't fscts.

I have a bit of lag here so need a few minutes to reboot.

No that seemed ok.

Ask your carer to help!?

Now don't go insulting people becasue you will have to deny it.

maybe even because

Was that Buddy Holly?

Is there any more to you than name calling and insulting people?

On the threads I started yesterday you were one of the first to start insulting me.

Very observant of you, were you Observer Corps?

No, there wasn't an Observer Corps. Are you a moron?

Do you mean there is no longer an Observer Corps? Pedantic perhaps but there is a difference, you seem to be getting agitated which is a bad sign in an agitator?

Agitated from someone who nearly blew a gasket yesterday.

Please try harder.

Tilt!!

I was just trying to find the last thread you started on here, I gave up so perhaps you can tell me.

On the morning that the politics forum got pulled, I recall that Irishone had started about five threads on various topics. Your response to him Charlie on at least 3 of them was "OCD". I would say that is pretty insulting and unnecessary as well, so you've got form for it. Maybe you were the straw that broke the camel's back and got the whole forum pulled....who knows.

You are obviously an agitator/troublemaker judging by the way you have started on this forum, and as similar has already been suggested, perhaps you and your mates from there, with very little interest in horseracing should foxtrot oscar to say the Darts forum. That should be right up your street.

I would say that is pretty insulting and unnecessary as well, so you've got form for it.

Wait until Edybot (him of 300k posts) turns up

makes Rico's push for an answer look like Confucius

Yes he's another one leif...

obsolute bollox from lame all

iris is an anti-uk racist monomaniac and offensive but so what? i dont care even though he would if i directed such loathing toward his state. i wouldnt, even if i felt that way, but i dont-quite the opposite. his resentful whingeing suggests something else is at play


as an aside, another thread adjacent to this has been deleted, just as i was having a discussion with a t. this has happened before, and i think i was in front. then it went

it wasnt me....

Charlie never the instigator of trouble imo

so which bit was bollox?

iris starts a million freds a day slagging off the uk

so charles typimg 'ocd' is a mild rebuke

'who knows' you say. certainly not you, or me, or anyone. maybe

it has been suggested that the number of posts being reported became so tiresome that the thing was shut down as they simply couldnt be arsed

who knows? mayb a t, self-confessed censor

so none of it is bollox, other than your million threads a day and mild rebuke, glad that one is cleared up.

Another politics forum poster that tells lies.....

ver is ze edybot

don't encourage him ffs

Lads,you could actually have some craic if people just had a bit of cop on at times,the politics forum could take on the racing forum in emmm....horse racing, a small comp for a week or two?
A bit of positivity a great thing,not much point arguing the toss with mr anonymous on the bf forum really.

You Nobby are one of the worst racists on here
