Why do most posts on Khan come down to British hate?

[Dan...]

I can live with the individual imbeciles, in many ways they provide me with entertainment, but you're absolutely right the repetitive hate filled topics are the most annoying thing. Basically I think everyone here is a points whore (not me, I bet 40k on Katsidis!) and has to have their own thread for everything.

Alarmingly, P4Pking had a good idea when he suggested we simply have stickied threads for discussing individual fights, which would be a step in the right direction, but I wonder if the number of posters would render them borderline unreadable.

Yeah, not sure stickied threads would work, simply for the reason you state - the number of posts would render them unreadable.

Basically I would follow this model - create a new forum that is open for everyone and make all posters aware that it will be heavily regulated - state the rules such as no flaming, spamming, racism, etc etc. These rules will prevent a lot of the ****sticks from posting in the forum initially, but those who do and infringe on the rules should be automatically banned from posting in that forum for an extended period of time. I think that by doing this there would be a reasonable forum with only non-****ed members in not too long.

Like who?

On a serious note, it is absurd that discussing boxing is actually very hard here. There is one basic problem: if you say a boxer is good/ bad someone's feelings always get hurt because they feel you are in competition with them somehow. Thus spews forth hate.

Haha, wasn't really person specific, there's an obvious one or two I think were' intelligent enough to know who. But were all guilty of it at times allbeit to lesser exents, provoked, slightly fairer or tongue in cheek.

The site has gotten a lot better than say a month ago though, have to commend BPP's efforts. There's always going to be bad patches but this is a common theme.

Yeah that would be unfortunate.

To be honest it is the thread topics I find to be more annoying that the ****s on here. Like last night I logged on and I think I counted 8 useless "Kahn is overhyped and got owned, another British overhyped fighter pwn" threads on the front page. I just think these should be deleted upon creation. They add nothing and create unnecessary frustration.

The place blew up last night didnt it? lol

I must say though, that is one instance when 'exposed' would be being used quite fairly. KOd in 51 seconds by a complete unknown? Its not great, I feel very sorry for Amir.

I agree, but I would suggest requiring a 1000 post count to post. The only reason I would have it is that the forum would be an instant flaming target and the mods would have a terrible job keeping up.

Yeah, good call. That would be necessary.

Blasphemy. Check your sig. Khan took his biggest shots to prove he could take them, and still live. And he did. Then more money for a rematch with Prescott worried he can't kill him. Pwned that Columbian!

I knew I was right. Roy Jones did the same thing. He only got KOd by Tarver and Johnson to lure Calzaghe out of Wales, fooled into thinking he has a chance.

Jeff Lacy is doing the same thing to Taylor
