TeaganSkinner414's review of Cable Forum www.cableforum.co.uk

“A nasty, arrogant and hostile place.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by TeaganSkinner414 on 25/05/2014

I was only a lurker on cableforum as it would be impossible to have an adult convo there, but cant even stomach that anymore. The owners (there looks to be more than one) talk to people like something under their shoes (they have amended the rules so that the owners are exempt from the foruml rules) The mods are vindictive, rude and unprofessional, one has ADHD which obviously clouds his reasoning as he is always stirring and baiting (but he's not the only mod to do this as one has had some of his posts removed, which must have been bad for this place to do that).

The rules also say that if you dont like it and want freedom of speach, you should open your own forum (this backfired as one former member took them up on this) www.cableforum.eu

The political threads are the same posters going round and round with the same old arguments, with a mod in there who thinks hes superior as he lectures everybody in a really pompous way.

There rules are not consistent. If a post from a mod is in bold it is a mod decision, but when it suits them it doesn't have to be in bold. One mod even has put moving the goalposts a speciality as his signature!

Swearing is permitted depending on the mod, and their mood (and appears to be based on who does it) some let everything go, whilst one woman whines and threatens if people star out letters to swear.

I have seen unchallenged racism, sexism, homophobia. Also disabled and older members are routinely attacked. If anyone does challenge this, they are told it is off topic or issued with infractions.

Theres even a blind guy there who goes on about scrounging what benefits he can. He also winds people up, so im not sure if this is a taxpayer wind up but his sig is Benefit Scrounger :o I remember he even once started a thread to blatantly ask others what he could do to get everything he could from the social.

There are a couple of virgin media staff on there who seem to try to be helpful, but they are drowned out by by the 99% rubbish.

Totally mad, but not in a good way. These forums need regulating IMHO.
