Most Varpool fans have no need to filter anybody, they just cry like babies and hand out board bans to those that tell them how it is

Yes you don't have to engage if you don't want to.
The only exception I would make if for spammers like Barry who ruin articles although the delete button is always there if need be.
in the end, tbh who really cares who likes who & who wants bezzies & who thinks they are above everyone else & filters who, for me a crap article 99.9% won't meet their protagonists .... man/woman up
I almost filtered someone last week who accused me of being a bully, a Neanderthal and a few other things yet when repeatedly asked to provide evidence (and my offer of an apology if he provided it) he refused.
In the end I just decided to leave his posts visible on my article.
I won’t interact with that person again and if he attempts to spoil any of my future threads I’ll just delete his posts.
I’ve got no filters in place at the moment but that might change depending on circumstances.
Best to agree to disagree rather than filter. I've never been filtered to my knowledge, nor filtered anyone. I try to be as respectful as possible and not get involved with any handbags, even if Bottle no 4 sometimes has other ideas...
We've had some robust exchanges on politics and racism on this thread during which I have sometimes lost the plot but I generally try hard not to get personal with anyone. Posters who get personal can be dismissed as keyboard warriors, or maybe just people expressing other frustrations in their lives on this forum. The WUMs that aren't funny you can just ignore, after all?
Generally, though, I think this Leeds board is a great forum and most of the posters here, while marvellously varied in their views, seem pretty reasonable people.
Filtering really is no big deal, it's just filtering content.
I don't read tabloids either because the content is sh!t.

Exactly.
I don’t want to have to scroll past 50 ‘OlE oUt!’ articles on the United board by the same three waaaankers repeating the same value-free, vacuous shytte before I find an interesting, informative or thought-provoking article.
The United board is a bit different though. We have a bunch of facking weirdo WUMs, most of whom are ridiculously transparent, pretending to be United fans and then a bunch of posters who seem only interested in starting a slagging match. It’s become a bit of a cesspit.

Think i filtered a couple of people some years ago, very briefly. Decided after having a word with myself that it was a bit childish and ignoring was the better way forward. Unblocked/filtered them and haven't felt the need to since.

Out of interest, can I ask what would you do if you were in the pub having an interesting chat with your mates, before some utter tossser came and sat down, interrupted the conversation, and started insulting everybody at the table for no reason?
I suppose you’d say that anyone who couldn’t handle that shouldn’t be in the pub in the first place?

I tend to find the people who talk ththe most sh!t are the most against filtering. It tends to quite wind up attention seekers too hence you seeing threads like 'This guy filtered me' while pretending they're not bothered because THEY'RE SO FVCKING HARD MATE

Go to a different pub probably...this is online...not same
If you go on the Spurs board you will find you get filtered quite quickly
I've been filtered before by someone on our own board... But he got so frustrated just seeing grey spaces where my comments were, he unfiltered me again.... I remind him of this now and then

Bang on.
How does a pub relate to an online forum? The dynamics are completely different. That's a sheet analogy that doesn't apply nearly the same way to a forum.

Personally, I go to the pub to see who's about and catch up with a few people, relax, talk about the weekend's games, have a bit of a debate about them, exchange ideas about what's going on more generally in the world of football, shoot the chit about whatever else is going on in the world, and have a bit of a laugh. There are some people I enjoy doing all of that with, and no doubt some clowns who I'd rather avoid and refuse to engage with because they're angry, aggressive, boring, abusive, or only there to try to wind people up and cause trouble.
