Just speak your mind and as long as you don't seek to get on people's nerves then you should be fine   :)

another reason why the system is flowered

all it takes is one user to not like you and your ratio will be forever flowered

Well,for what its worth,i would like to put my 2c worth in.
As a new member i have been amazed at the time and effort alot of people put into FF.
The info and advise is fantastic and the chat has been really enjoyable.
I would of thought the more people that join FF the better it would be for Monty and everyone involved.
In that, i think the boo idea totally reduces new peoples input and discourages a lot of new and diverse posts.
The last thing you would want is to upset someone or come across as a know it all.
Whats the point in the boo,really.It totally puts off new people from continuing to input,because if you tell someone new you dont like them, most would say why bother,and move on.
Cheers

Does Monty read these sort of things and take them into account?
Doesn't sound like anyone would be against boo's being removed but a lot of people would come out of the closet and contribute more if they weren't around.

Not sure TJ but one would think he should, be hard for him to look at everything i guess.

actually surprised that 9 people have voted to keep them. not sure how they serve any purpose that is positive to the forum

What I would like to know is, how many people have not voiced there opinion before or gave criticism or feedback because they thought they would get boo'd??
Ill admit early days I didnt post on a few occasions because I knew I would just get boo'd. Now I dont care, I just say what i think but when i was relatively new I did care and was careful because I didnt want a bad Cheer:Boo ratio that made me look bad. Tj is right in that its only the guys that have been on here a while that understand the ratio really means nothing. Its not just a forum for people that have been on here for ages though. Pretty sure it's designed for anyone to join and Monty would want more and more new posters coming in and contributing

Spot on, couldn't say it better.

I admit, I like to think I dont care about my boo's, but when my boo's take a jump over a short period, I get really deflated, and lose confidence in posting my opinion. And like quinny says:

this is a result.

Think m0nty reads this thread though as this is where he gets feedback.  Whether he reads this topic could be debatable.

Yeah look im not one to panic over getting boo'd but I still reword the way I say some things when disagreeing with someone to avoid a wave of boo's.
The mods are there to prevent people swearing and trolling. So if its not those then people should be allowed to write whatever they want and not be crucified for it. Garuntee we would have a much more active and interesting debates without the boo's

I am reading. After Christmas I will make many changes, this will probably be one of them.

Can I just mention that if you mainly post in the front bar that boos seem to be limited...not trying to have a view is not the issue IMO...blandness is not what draws me to this site..its the variey of views...cheers / boos dont drive my interest in what someone has to say..I am a lot more interested in their ranking / seniority level in as much as they have Fantasy Footy experience. ..just thought I'd join in... 8)

Dear listeners,

What other people think of you is none of your business.

Follow that line of thinking and feel the freedom.

PS Boos does not have an apostrophe.  ;)

Good on ya Monty. Think it will be a change for the better and will see a lot more open conversation and opinion by new users as well as the seasoned users
