Adelaide Board - Posting Rules

[Mad Dog]

There seems to have been some confusion in recent days and weeks regarding Team Board Rules - specifically those relating to the Adelaide Board.

You may have also noticed a reduced tolerance level to trolling and abuse across the site with many serial troublemakers moved on.

Just to be clear...

This Board is for fans of the Adelaide Football Club. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to share their views.....however.....this post serves as a warning to visitors from other clubs.

You must at all times treat the posters of this Board with respect and refer to the Adelaide Football Club and it's supporters with respect while visiting this Board. Trolling and abuse - no matter how thinly veiled will not be tolerated. Offending posters will have their access to this Board removed, receive infraction points, and in some cases lose access to BigFooty.

Zero warnings, Zero tolerance, Zero discussion.

Be very clear - if you intend trolling or abusing Adelaide Board posters here, don't flatter yourself to thinking that your removal will be any loss.

By the same token there was some disappointing comments by AFC posters to some genuine questions from opposition supporters

Seems we dont take losing too kindly

I'd also agree with that........the AFC Board has a pretty good reputation and a high volume of traffic. It would be a shame for that to change if we attack genuine posters from other clubs.

We can take losing, it's just posters who rock up here every time we lose and then ask a series of innocent, yet ridicolous posts such as will Craig get the sack or will your gameplan change after one loss by one point is blatant trolling. Posters like Ford Fairlane, Macca19 and Tas are always welcome here because they give a positive contriubtion to Crows relevant discussion and contriubte consistantly not just showing up when we lose

Sorry Jo but there was an attack on a highly respected poster from another club last night that was very unwarranted from some of our own posters last night. This particular poster posts on this board regulary win, lose or draw and provides a different insight into our players and footy discussion.

I agrtee that intelligent discussion needs to be protected no matter whoever is providing it. But posters who manage to show up on this board after every loss to just rub salt into the wounds after a loss and post one sentence posts such as "Get over it, the umpires were pretty good" is not helpful discussion IMHO.

 

[NikkiNoo]

No probs with those types of posters and I was a busy little girl last night Jo - but the attacks that I and PC are referring to were to a poster that doesn't come along only when we lose and does not throw out lines like you stated above.

Some of our posters here need to remember that it may be our Board but we should also provide some respect to posters from other clubs on here. I compare it to the annual grumbles about not enough banter at AAMI, the like of the sanfl and the ability to banter so where is that same desire here? It's what I loved about this board was the large number of other clubs supporters that are willing to discuss our team with us and I don't want to lose that.

The trolls are getting picked up quicker these days and the best way to respond to them is to report the post, not respond to it, so that Kane, MD and I can deal with it asap.

How vicious was the attack? Were any injuries sustained?

Yes, my TV was suffering concussion from a shoe being thrown at it numerous times.

 

[RoosterLad]

Yes my mates TV was almost injured as well, I threatened to throw it off the balcony with the cord tied around my neck if we drew the game.

I agree that the attack on *PAF last night was unwarranted for a genuine question he asked of whether or not we are concerned that we are a 3rd lowest scoring side. A genuine question from a poster who comes on here reguraly and contributed in a good fashion. He got abused by a couple of knobheads.

I got no problem with posters coming on here and expressing their opinion and generating some genuine debate without trolling. What is a pet peeve of mine is when certain posters from other clubs come on here only when we lose and try to innocently rub it in. IMHO, those posters shouldn't be welcomed. One of the is P.A.F.C.!!!! He just comes on here when we lose and tries to act that he is being genuine in his debate when all he really comes on here for is to sink the boots in and troll. Those knobs shouldn't be tolerated.

Very true Stiffy. . I think*PAF always asks genuine questions and also gives a good honest alternatitve opinoin which deserves respect as most of the enquiries made are very reasonable.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Not to worry Stiffy, we shall no longer see that particular 16 y.o. poster around these parts for a while....

Yeoooooucccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Stiffy_18]

I think all Port posts should be deleted within seconds of them being posted on here, let's make this place similar to the Port board (a concentration camp).

Why should we lower ourselves to their standards. If they want to be nazis about it them we should remain above it and run our board with some dignity and class. This approach would relect a lot more badly on the PAPs than us lowering ourselves to their level.

Rise above it son! They are not worth it

these will be specifically targeted from now.

In reality - it's the same half a dozen or so - they know who they are - and they will have their access to this Board removed for good

Sorry if im upsetting the old boys club on here. I dont give a crap if someones been posting here a long time or not, a spade is still a spade. It was a stupid question, coming from a Port Adelaide fan, after a heart breaking loss. My troll senses were tingling, if im wrong about that, so be it, but perhaps the question should have included a reason why we should be 'worried'.

Moderators should stop placing their personal friendships above the job they are here to do.

 

[- PC -]

coming from a Port Adelaide fan,

Look inside your heart young Luke and look past the allegiance

My troll senses were tingling,

Peter Parker your not

if im wrong about that, so be it

You were wrong ( indicates hand on tie movement)

but perhaps the question should have included a reason why we should be 'worried'.

Sometimes brevity is needed . It was a valid question and one I see Rucci asked in todays paper/online

I reckon a carton of crownies is worth letting him on

Look past the allegiance? Now whats the point of football if im looking past the allegiance?

Had the question been accompanied by any attempt to reason, or debate, i might have taken it seriously. Other than that, damn right im a grouchy bastard when we lose.

.

Because like reading a Rucci article some of us on here have already formed an opinion of the person and not the content

The point of football is that its a game... the point of bigfooty ( as I see it) is to have discussion on football.... and sometimes that includes questions from ''outside'' that may challenge our own perceptions

PAFC and his comments were not needed, *PAF asked a fair question imo

making an accusation there Big Guy ????

You'd want to back that up with some facts.........or alternatively withdraw it for the childish and baseless comment it is...

There appears to be an old boys club which seems to protect its own. Example, everyone doing the running man on FD for what they percieved as overly praising our youngsters, yet when threads are discovered with over negativity from those doing the criticism, the people are defended to the death, and the threads are routinely locked. Or, when i first signed up, i stepped out of line and was involved in slanging match, fairly enough i was warned and the insults i used were edited out of my post, yet the insults the other member who had been here longer used were left in the post, and my pm to the moderator responsible was ignored.

Im not trying to present these as 'facts', because really, theres no way i could have facts about motives for acting etc, its just what ive noticed anyway, the great thing about being in my position is, it doesnt matter if im wrong about this, im a toothless tiger on these boards anyway. The most i could do is whine about it in the long run.

If you did your homework on this you would discover that a couple of long term and respected posters have been banned recently either for a week or so - or indefinately. It's tough to be objective...and your inference that anyone is treated differently is insulting and ill-informed.

Example, everyone doing the running man on FD for what they percieved as overly praising our youngsters, yet when threads are discovered with over negativity from those doing the criticism, the people are defended to the death, and the threads are routinely locked.

Routinely locked ??? - if it's routinely then there must be some examples you can come up with and a comment as to why locking them was not appropriate.

Or, when i first signed up, i stepped out of line and was involved in slanging match, fairly enough i was warned and the insults i used were edited out of my post, yet the insults the other member who had been here longer used were left in the post, and my pm to the moderator responsible was ignored.

Again - provide and example and the comments will be removed....perhaps they were missed....??? Maybe too late now but if you report posts they will be dealt with ....no question. Leaving comments in posts would be a matter of not managing to clean up every quoted instance of the commet or abuse......not a matter of favouritism.

Cop out.....
You made an accusation that Moderators place personal relationships ahead of doing the job here.........now you're playing the poor "I'm just a nobody" card.....

This is your Board as much as anyone else's.........you should take some responsibility for setting the tone ............ it's not just up to so called "long term" posters.

 

[The Captain]

If we are all welcome MAD DOG, then why do you routinely shut down threads or commnents that may differ with the status quo?

I can't give you links as you have already removed them!

You guys are just too sensitive...like an over eager umpire chasing holding the ball decisions.

Better for you to give posters the benefit of the doubt rather than can them for having an opinion...in my humble opinion of course oh mighty one
