I appreciate your comments Richard but I've consistently stated that guest posting is to be reviewed at the end of the season, so you can expect a poll in a few weeks where you can vote and have a discussion 👍

I'm not wanting to undermine you or any other moderators. Feel free to delete this poll and we will revisit when you feel it's appropriate |

Sometimes you get Wrexham and Tranmere wind-up merchants but most of the guests to grace the new forum are absolutely fine (especially the person with the guest name as 'Riot Ball Boy') 😁. It's a yes for me.

One mans "bile" is often another's constructive criticism. As you seem to be so upset, perhaps you ought to stick to that nicely controlled alternative version where little dissent from pesky fans is tolerated.

I'm still a guest so I am banned? BTW - well done Blues tonight. Maybe nothing to show for it but sounded like we put a good fight! (Metophorically speaking of course!)

Why dont you try the other forum I'm still using the other forum thanks. I did jump the gun, but it was never my intention to stifle anything. I have often posted both supportive and opposing views on here and the old DC, but always supported and respected the right of free speech. I was genuinely interested on other members opinions on this matter. Will you be accusing Big Si of stifling free speech if he runs a similar poll in the future? Everyone is entitled to an opinion and mine is that the issue of guests posting is worth the debate. |

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and mine is that the issue of guests posting is worth the debate. This is the "im a better fan than you attitude"that we experience on the old site that led to people not being allowed to post simply for holding an opinion different to those people running the club . I agree with the last sentence though ,everybody is entitled to an opinion ,even though you seem to want to deny me having my say |

I suspect leading up to the next Wrectum game there will be so many troll posts that the mods won't have much option but to freeze guests from posting for a period. After that we could return to normal service again.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and mine is that the issue of guests posting is worth the debate. Given that you often appear to be "in the know" regarding Club matters, may be your suggestion to regulate DC Mark 2 is motivated by some who don't take criticism very well, however well intentioned?, and do perhaps take too much of an interest in what is said by fans on here ? |

Echo the post by Blue Trev; it seems Richard and some of his "friends" cannot take criticism, so he feels the only way is to police the new Devachat. Anyone "in the know" at the Club should be able to take negative as well as positive feedback, if people cannot accept negative criticism they should do the honourable thing and walk away from the Club.

Guest posting should remain in my opinion. If for no other reason than it livens the place up a bit.
This is supposed to be an open forum therefore it should remain open.

Anyone "in the know" at the Club should be able to take negative as well as positive feedback, if people cannot accept negative criticism they should do the honourable thing and walk away from the Club. There is no conspiracy between myself and others here. I am ok with being criticised and perfectly fine with others opinions that may vary from mine. I do take issue with faceless guests posting stuff to deliberately stir things up and I won't deny that. The whole negative posters / happy clapper debate has been done to death on here, but if I fall into any camp it's on the side of positivity and encouragement. It seems that the vocal minority use this site, posting under the guise of guests to give the impression that their views are those of the majority. Well they are not. Having a pop at me by suggesting that I am in some way involved with others to regulate this site is just agenda driven fantasy. I like the new DC and I liked the old one too. Like many I was dismayed when I discovered that no new members had been granted access for a long time. Such a shame. Finally to those guests who regularly post, well why not just register as a member?? |

Registered or not were all faceless unless you think my Avatar is a true photo likeness of me - Fans forums are always going to have differing views some glass half full some half empty forget conspiracy theory's and Agendas it's all pie in the sky - the sooner we all accept there are differing views then the sooner we can move forward

I think it needs to go. If you're a Chester fan who regularly posts on here why not just sign up? It takes 2 minutes.
Guest posting doesn't prevent other supporters from posting on here, they just need to sign up (like a number of goats have). If you're coming on here to wind people up or put something horrible then at the moment you can do it in no time. Having to spend a couple of minute signing up will probably put most of the WUMs off.

Here's an alternate perspective of the situation - guest posting encourages people to not bother making an account, so there are far less registered users on Devachat.

Guests can post under numerous names and if they have an agenda or want to undermine the club it is very easy to do so. I think that is the main reason people do not register as they can use the old Beau Geste strategy. |
