Right then guys. Everyone knows that things are out of hand here, so as mentioned recently we want to step up our efforts in stopping things going too far. Now to make it easier for us, we will be starting from now, what has happened recently, although not under the rug, will not be dealt with as similar instances FROM THIS POINT onwards. Although most of these are covered, thought it best to reiterate what we intend on doing. - There will be no abuse aimed towards any member. If you are in receipt of abuse, then do not get involved, just PM myself and/or Valley and leave us deal with it. If you get involved and return abuse, you will find both parties warned or banned. Its not up to us to sort out who called what first, if you abuse someone, you will be dealt with. This abuse includes belittling of members to get your point across. IF you cannot do it without abuse or belittling, then refrain from posting. - Swearing, now I am not bothered too much about swearing, after all the site has a swear filter, but, where we have to draw the line is swearing aimed at fellow members. Swear to your hearts content about the games, or whatever, but any swearing directed at other members will be dealt with. This includes telling any member to "f**k off". - Stirring. there are a few who like to stir, and if we believe your posts are there to do nothing but stir, you may find yourself with a warning, or a ban. - Take responsibility for your own posts, don't tell us you were only getting back at so and so for what he said, this is not the school ground. Report it, and leave it to us. - If a mod asks you to stop something, then that is your warning, continue, and you may find yourself banned. Its not hard. - If found to have multiple accounts, we will put in a request for all accounts to be banned. This includes making or using a multi account if your main account is banned. - This is not, and has never been a Swansea forum. I do not moderate in a "this is our board" attitude. So, any unwarranted abuse aimed at any outsider will be dealt with, as will any outsider that comes here to disrupt, within reason. We like banter, we don't like clowns. Of course the above is all depending on the nature of the posts in question. We are not here to rule with an iron fist, but from now on we will be stepping up our role as forum mod, and trying to get this forum back on track. As I am sure we can all agree that its getting out of hand, and we want the forum back/ We don't care who gets offended, the forum is the priority. If at any time you have any issues with us, then you can either PM us directly, or get in touch with the super mods to complain. As mentioned, this starts from NOW. the time on this post. Lets get this place to how we want it to be, a good place, for banter and talk of all things Swansea, not bickering and abuse. EDIT: I would also like to add that me and Valley are not here full time, we do have lives, so if you PM us about someone's antics, then give us time to log in, view the pm and deal with it.
Ever since dilligaf became mod and up to the last of his groovy gang being refused mod statis, this board has been obsessed with control and banning . Now that power was wrestled from them , finally , they threw out there toys and made a new board. Lets grow a bit of grit , like all the other boards on hereand make banning an extreme event instead of a plaything for mods . I for one will never send personal messages, not even to mods , and will look after myself on here when need be . I respect that I put myself in harms way on this stance but I can't help the way I run my affairs. I'll do my best to stay within rules but if I get banned this time, I'll respect that ban and never return because of the quality of the pair of mods we have now. This board has got to be 5 times better than thejackarmy board , just because who runs that board . That doesn't make this board great though, make it great guys.PS , personal messages are the staging ground for bully groups to plan there bulling imo.
Laudable objective but I agree that some on here won't let it happen. Just a matter of time before someone comes along saying that all the problems on this board have been Laudrup's fault.
just back for a day and I find 6 pms from a certain poster gloating that he got me banned, I believe said poster has left for reasons I am unsure about
Musty can you forward those PMs to Swans nand Myself please. They will then be dealt with accordingly
Ivor, letting yourself open for breaking point 3 of the new rules about stirring Oh...bugger....does this post break rule 3 as well..... Seriously..I agree with the sentiment and the revised rules.
