Please get rid of ChatterBank

[bibblebub]

for a trial period of a few months (to begin with).

The consequences of the tribal associations and enmities that originate in CB affect the rest of the site because of the troll postings. Getting rid of CB might result in the loss of some regular contributors to other sites but you could gain more new users who are put off by the abusive/profane/stupid nonsense that appears on this site far too often. Once CB is gone the current system of reporting chatting would suffice.

Make this a proper Q&A site, reduce the social networking aspect.

can i reach 3 figures???

No

"i have got my nightie on"

Busted... that was me posting under an alias...

I certainly share the question author's sentiment. Perhaps Spare Ed is correct so. maybe one just has to accept CB's existence along with other things of the same ilk - News of The World, Big Brother, etc. which one nevertheless cannot quite ignore because it spills into other areas of society and life in general.

Don't you just love the ABusers who think they are better than anyone who posts on CB?
It seems like snobbery to me.

Bibblebub there are a lot of good users on here and if you don't like this chatterbox site don't come on it .No one is forcing you to read it .You have barely been on a year so who are you to criticize. There are a few idiots but they are soon got rid of.

Just a thought, has suggestions become this seasons chatterbank?

"Don't you just love the ABusers who think they are better than anyone who posts on CB?

It works the other way, too. I've seen questions asked in what would seem to be the "correct" category (particularly in "News") receive a terse "this has already been asked in Chatterbank" reply.

KARL - I would never consider reading 'News of the World', or watch BB - load of old twaddle, but removing CB, would as others have said, encourage chatting on other categories, the 'old' one being B&S. ;o/

[bibblebub]

And I'm not forcing anyone to read all the replies here but one does miss certain things if one doesn't.

[daffy654]

None whatsoever Vibra... thankfully. They have since tried to deliver two more parcels here though for the same man, I refused to accept them and they were presumly taken back to the depot. The police are convinced that the man is using our address as a decoy though, even though all the purchases can be traced back to him.

that would be bibble with the 'nightie on' thread
How much more excitement can one take..ha-ha

really pleased I got my bedjacket, fleecy nightie and hot water bottle ready last night
Got my Horlicks and crochet together, put my rollers in and carefully placed my pink hairnet on my head, put my teeth in the jar beside the bed, multitasked by doing my crochet and drinking my Horlicks at the same time....so niceee

ha-ha if you believe that!!!
