Message from the mods=being a Sunderland fan will not come into it, honest

Hello.
I have been asked to oversee the moderation on our forums, not to take the place of your moderators but to help them.

After a good few years of chatting on a number of forums I know how emotions sometimes run high, opinions vary but we all share one thing, a love for our football team. I also know that common sense will ensure self regulation of our forum will ensue.

I don't see or want the role of moderator to be that of a policeman or dare I say it a club steward, neither needed nor wanted. I won't be scanning every post or comment looking for reasons to hold on to my Bobbies helmet, I use other sites for that.

The mods role is simple, to moderate if we have a problem, if something offends or upsets you then message your and we will get it sorted. All I ask is that you try and consider your fellow fans when commenting. Anyone can swear abuse and threaten on an internet forum but we have all ages, backgrounds, races, sexualities and religions in our worldwide football family and it's good to respect all views and people.

All new members will find a no swearing filter on their page. All posts will be shown but all swear words are blocked. This gives every member control on what their personal preference is on swearing. It's impossible to just ban excessive swearing because we all have differing opinions on what is excessive. It's either ban all swearing or allow it.

If you don't mind colorful language then you can remove this filter by going to the bottom of the page and you will see a box on the left. Just click on the box and change from no swearing to allow.

Report Button to Follow

My view, and its just my view, is that I would like all pages to allow swearing in the knowledge that it will rarely offend because of what I said above, each member taking responsibility for what they write, with freedom of speech comes responsibility.

Can I suggest you have a quick look at the forum rules, they are very brief and in my opinion common sense.

More than anything I think we all want to enjoy our forum, it is ours so let's look after it and enjoy it.

Ignore function.
If you find a particular poster to be, lets say, not to your taste then go to settings, ignore list on the left half way down, click and enter the user name of the poster and send. You will never see them again.

if i ignore you then does that mean i can do what i want?

 

I can't believe the Mackems have infiltrated the upper echelons of not606 already. It's only a matter of time before MalteseMick is overthrown and we have to suffer cruelly under a Mackem dictatorship. The end is nigh...

 

Don't trust him Mick, it's all a vicious ploy to inflict suffering on the Toon. Just watch ya back that's all I'm saying.

 

Also Mick, when you get to 100 posts your status changes to Senior Member, if nothing currently happens when you reach 1000 could you make it so it changes to Tribal Elder.

 

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!

stand up and be counted, thats what sunderland fans would do, mind you not hard, there was only 36 of them against chelsea

 

I'll second that request

 

thirded it should be 500 posts to become elder badger (just on the toon board)

 

i'll third it

when it gets to 10,000 can it change to Lord of the Board

 

You'll never take the toon board You'll never take the toon board

 

Overseas suggested it so that's five in favour and none against. Motion passed.

 

Can I suggest if you get to 100,000 you become Emperor Of All He Surveys?

 

Newcastle Uni spent £10,000 on research to determine why a mans penis has
a bell end, and
came to the conclusion that it was to give him greater pleasure during
sex.

Teeside Uni's £5000 helped them to come to the conclusion that it was for
the woman's benefit.

Sunderland Poly spent £10 and were delighted to find that it was to stop
your hand slipping off the end.

 

Would you believe a Sunderland fan has reminded me that last week I said I love underland, will never leave, I love them, they are my team, then called me a ****ing judas. Do you feel my pain, can you see my tears, do you care.

 

not especially

but i'll message you if i have an epiphany

 

A SUPER MODERATOR

OHH SHEEIT.








good luck with the job.
