Re: Fremantle board rules - please read before posting.

Guys there is allot of baiting going on at the moment.

I realise most is leveled at GJ and Belnakor and they have been infracted, but it is a two way street guys.
My opinion is they are not the same person, but they definitely do know eachother.

You can't bait them either, argue the point on its merits. That said any blatant rubbish rumours will be removed.

Lets get this board back on track.

We will try this out and see how things progress

*Bump*
It is still going on, see updated rules in Opening post.

Guy's if you feel you are being personally attacked report it immediately and don't respond, myself or Rip will then act accordingly.

Though keep in mind someone not agreeing with you, posting controversial topic's does not automatically equate to a personal attack nor does it warrant one.

Cheers!

How do you define blatant rubbish rumours? I asked this question before but was deleted.

Is it posting slurs on the club/players/officials that are blatantly false, or ones that cannot be proved correct.

For example, "If someone posted that Harvey can't coach and the players have made some kind of pact that they won't perform to the best of their abilities under his reign" would this be deleted/infracted? It is defamatory, but can't be categorically "proven" to be true or false, so how would it be treated?

If someone can come up with a better response to "We should cheat the salary cap to delist players I don't like" or "We should drop our best young ruckman to the magoos" than "You're a complete ****wit.", please let me know.

We are not going to overly censor people , Roundhouse.

You would be surprised at actually how much unsourced stuff does get removed.

With the rest It is generally up to the posters to refute them by reason/humour/facts and not by abuse and name calling.

That is what dicussion boards are for.

The abuse and flaming is not acceptable and will not be tolerated from anyone.

We are blessed in that we have really good posters here , the list just needs a bit of dicipline .

If that doesn't work , then we will look at the de-listings.

Fair enough, but was that a yes or a no in regards to the specific example?

It is a very grey area.

Probably a no if it was posted by some one who had been here a while and had some cred.

Probably a yes if some noob rocked up and started it.

Some things are better actually discussed , than hidden.

I would like to think most people are intelligent enough to work out for themselves who has "agendas".

Saying Harvey or Conolly can't coach is fine.

Claiming players have some kind of pact to under perform is borderline, comment's about teams playing for draft pick's is tolerated on the main board. So I am going to say it is allowed if some attempt to back it up is made.

We are a message board, 90% of the stuff posted on here can't be proven.

Also I should remind you that this isn't the "We are completely happy with the state of our club" board either.
Our side has let us down during our brief history, disgruntled supporters are expected.

Cheat the salary cap is rubbish, never tolerated.

Delisting players is part and part of Bigfooty.

Dop our best young ruckmen is a matter of opinion, as is dropping any player.

Your a complete ****wit, will incur an infraction.

Does that mean I gotta be nice??


I don't like being nice.

Got nuts on the main board (Within reason).
Can never have to many people flying the mighty freo flag

What is the difference between posters advocating or suggesting tanking for draft picks, and supporters advocating or suggesting cheating the salary cap?

Why is one permitted and the other not tolerated?

Mate your trying to get moderating down to an exact science.

It comes down to a case by case basis.

Obviously discussing a players private life is always on thin ice, but as far as what they do on the field or the team's performance based topic's it comes down to moderator discretion.

I remind you again Roundhouse this is not Dockerland, people on this site come from both sides of the fence (Regarding cup half full and cup half empty in respect to our club)

Ease up there Tiger. If you've got me pegged as the enemy thats your problem. You don't need to remind me this is not Dockerland, or wehavethepassion or even Eaglesflyinghigh, in every post. I am well aware what site this is.

Your right about the case by case thing. In the end it's a fine line and you use your own opinions and judgement as a guideline.

The problem is if you are asking people not to respond, but to report in-appropriate posts instead, you have to give people a pretty clear view of what YOU deem reportable.

Negative reference's to other poster's is what myself and Rip are talking about.

Thread's about players private lives will be looked at closely and are a massive risk for the site and therefore more likely than not removed and the poster infracted.

They are the absolute's.

Everything else is down to a case by case basis.

Saying a player is no good..A coach is no good etc is part and part of the site.

 

[Ripper]

Report any instances you don't like and it will be assessed.

People do have differing opinions.
Vigorous debate is encouraged , flame wars and abuse are not.

Fairly clear there , bear in mind that not all reported posts will necessarily be "assessed" in favour of the person doing the reporting.

I'm interested to see what is classified as acceptable and what is edited/deleted. I stopped posting on another Freo site a couple of years ago as nothing was accepted unless it said Freo are great, west coast suck or the umpires robbed us. A recent return to that site has shown it is as bad as ever if not worse. I'm hoping I can contribute to a discussion here without being pinged

Just don't call Ripper old, Sabre biased, or me bald and you will be fine!!

 

[estibador]

You can call bushie a camel rooter though.

As long as you don't call him a bald camel rooter.

Still going to lapdance for Keyser??

Nah. He rejected me once - and you only get one chance with this prize piece of ass.

I want to make a new rule for this board. It's bugged me for a while and after the thread about Chopper 'resigning' I was pushed over the edge.

From now on, I submit that anyone who fails to distinguish between the polar opposites resigning (as in throwing in the towel) and re-signing (as in signing a new contract) gets banned and forced to do a nude run down South Terrace on Saturday morning, covered in lube yelling "help, I've escaped from Quinten Lynch's basement!"

 

[Belnakor]

Noone would believe you - everyone knows Lynch lives in a cave.

Ha ha.

The Pavlich 'resigned' thread last year would have caused a few people to jump.
