The problem is you very often don't react at all and tolerate some posts by certain users (1 or 2 in particular) who are very disrespectful to other users or some sportsmen, but you tend to delete some posts who are just reaction to this kind of behaviour. That's certainly a thing which should be improved. Ultimately all you can do is use the ignore button; I certainly don't want to see some vast Facebook-style censorship operation on this or any board. dcro and Sindo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it also depends on whether there is a “core” or regular user of this community (who post a lot anyway) who is a fan of a particular, less widely followed sport George_D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the posts are negative (see my sport climbing format comments) it actually shows interest (i.e. how to make things better). It's rather clear women's 3x3 basketball was the least followed sport on TO Men's 3x3 escaped that fate due to a) lack of USA b) bitching about Poland's failure pdr4332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted August 8, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Golf improved nicely, but the biggest winners are obviously sailing, triathlon, BMX and rhythmic gymnastics. Artistic swimming saw a good improvement, too. Rowing and track cycling got somewhat lucky with scheduling. Especially rowing. Football suffered from morning games (European time). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
