Posted earlier today, my feelings about the state of Steeltalk, and has hopefully helped lead to a revival of this far more independent forum. Banned!

I continue to be extremely disappointed by the way Steeltalk in run, which is why Talksteelers exists. I appreciate that it is Marks & co's forum so they should run as they see fit, but I feel they also have responsibility to the fans to allow them to post more than they do. Rules are needed to ensure the online community doesn't descend into chaos, but the level of censorship on there really is a step too far imo.
You know what they say "If you think you can do any better, go and do it yourself" - so here we are !!

Pure joke, she only spoke what needed to be said. It's a shame how they reacted and good luck with the new site =]

That's absolutely stupid. Yesterday, the mod broke 4 of his own rules as a poster questioned whether steeltalk was pro Bob Phillips. Instead of answering it, he kept deleting everyone's post. You can't have your own opinion on there anymore. TCW males a perfectly fair point, and shouldn't be banned for it... -_-

The main thing that gets to me about SteelTalk is the pure negativity of the place. I've been fed up with the forum for a while now (hence the email to yourself Dean about a month ago) so I'm pleased that there's somewhere else all us fans can turn to who are fed-up with Steeltalk & just want a chat about hockey, not a moan or an argument. I just hope those same people don't do the same to this board.

What should never happen though is 'negative' posters pushing away 'positive' ones. That's what I feel has happened on Steeltalk, hence why EVERYTHING always seems to be negative!

I certainly won't be holding my breath, just hoping this board doesn't end up the same. As a regular user of the other EIHL forums I'd probably say SteelTalk is the worst of the lot. And that's the last I'll mention of it ;D

Thanks for allowing me some involvement in the Steelers. I will behave I promise. But there are bigger issues on Steeltalk than is being allowed.

Personally I never had any issues with your posts across on Steeltalk, certainly nothing warranting a lifetime ban anyway. The buffoon comment maybe warranted a warning but that's about it.

To perfectly open and honest, I will probably peruse both boards for a while. There are still some good contributions and contributors to Steeltalk, and I still value there opinion.
I have never run or administered a forum, so am reluctant to be critical of those who run it but understand the frustrations of some of the (ex) contributors.
Now there is a sit on the fence post!
