a couple of years ago i think i was copping what mac and pup are getting.

i don't care how tough some guys reckon they are, but when you get red thumbed for anything for months, like mac and pup have it wears you down.

geez i felt like if went boo i was going to get it.

that was two times i was going to quite- who needs the grief.

adm emailed me once and talked me back once. that was the time they canned red thumbs. i will state that i have never contacted adm over red thumbs



so i'm saying unless you've copped it for months on end your in no position to be telling anyone to harden up imo.

mind you there are some crew who get off on red and don't feel they've done a proper job if they don't get them.

probably cause myself some grief posting this

Lost power, phone, internet just after the tennis on Sunday night and just got it back a couple of hours ago. (Guess that means the red-thumber doesn't live in the sunny coast hinterland).
Good to see this subject being aired again.
I started a related thread a couple of weeks ago when, along with a few others (BB ripped in, in classic straight-shooting style), i saw just how creepy this red-thumber was getting. He was definitely following the same one or two people and red-thumbing virtually every post, often within seconds of the post appearing, often posts that in no way deserved such a response (one that was supporting the communities hit by bushfires, for example).
I got the impression that admin did a good job of stepping in then and the person who was doing it stopped doing it to that particular target (and it seem to be only one person. A few of us noticed we could cancel it out with one click on a green thumb). But i then got the impression that the same person (or another f-wit behaving exactly the same way) then simply turned their attention another specific target.
If admin doesn't want to get rid of the thumbs, why not just keep the greens? that way people can easily register their approval of a post. Just get rid of the reds cos they are negative and pointless.
(BTW... the few times i've seen Laurie step in, he's done a great job IMHO. Knows when to hold em and when to fold em. So a solution must be imminent, hey?)
And please stay Bill. You speak a lot of sense (expect Naish make good boards, mate) and I love your Tassie posts.

For me i just don't like that you don't know who is red thumbing your post and who is not

It doesn't bother me too much but i think its a gutless action by who ever is hiding behind them.

Personally id prefer them gone. If your too scared to put your argument forward then stay away i say

green thumbed your last post. Kinda of makes it pointless in terms of what the thumbs are there for but unless there is more than one or he has multi user name his red thumb wont be seen.

If everyone who reads your posts and I think lots of people have a read without posting just to get some taste of surfing during the day green thumbed it will make the problem go away.

I concur. Even though I don't post as much these days, I still lurk as above all the shark debates and 666 nonsense, it's still a good read here with helpful advice given. The lads in the Green Room have helped me through dark patches I've been through and nothing they say or do is in malice so it is strange this personal vendetta that someone has against them. They're those happy blokes in the line up you enjoy surfing with that make things that more chilled and fun. They like the seasoned few of each forum are the lifeblood in a sense of keeping these things running and if they keep being hassled and leave like Pup almost, what you get is nothing like some other forums I've been to (thought I recognized DUDE from somewhere ).

Thumbs do nothing and bring more frustration than good especially when someone with multiple accounts would not have a second thought to continually 'bully' someone with anonymity as their protection.

On a side note, if Laurie 'accidentally' posts this users details online as a warning, promise the bloke won't have his account signed up to adult sites, details given to Nigerian hackers or spammed with buying the latest in tupperware products

Greenies for everyone!

Miss you Bill. There are people asking about brands you hate over in the 666 room and there's no-one there to set them straight. Come back soon.

Doesn't seem fond of Naish.
Went off NSP - or at least the delivery system when his cocomat got cococracked...
JP is the go apparently. Not sure about longboards (yep, just remembered what room we're in...) - might've left them behind while he's in the apple isle.
But geez he calls em as he sees em... like this thread. He brings a lot of straight-shooting fun and good value to the Breeze. I guess he's sticking to his guns on this red thumbs biz... i was hoping to provoke a response... Might have to start a Bring Back Billboard thread.

On a share forum I belong to they serve a purpose. The top five posts within each stock are repeated at the top of the page and they stay up for 2 weeks.

Here they are a feature which have no purpose.

Dont like a comment, get on line and say so. Dont become some wierd stalker.

As the thread says just get rid of them.
