Additional Geelong Board general rules
Posting articles on BigFooty
To post an article you must follow this method:
Headline of article (if required - best to put it as the thread title)
Link to article
There must be no more posted, unless you have specific remarks about specific paragraphs or sentences. In this case, you should:
Write your comment
Entire articles are not to be posted. This includes in private boards and social groups. Breaking this rule will lead to warnings and infractions.
Selling of match tickets (including Grand Final tickets)
Tickets can only be offered for sale on this board for market price plus 10% for costs incurred buying the tickets. BigFooty takes no responsibility for any transactions done through this site.
If you come across anyone attempting to scalp tickets to big games (at exorbitant prices) please report them.
Posting Links to Torrent or Usenet Sites or files
'Clickable hyperlinks' to sites or files, for example http://site.com, is not allowed.
However, posting site.com is not 'clickable' and is allowed.
Sending a direct 'clickable hyperlink' via a private message is fine.
By directly linking to sites and files puts BigFooty at risk of prosecution under copyright laws here and in the USA (where the owners of this site are based).
Closing thoughts
It is your responsibility to know and abide by these rules. Playing the "I didn't know the rules" card is NOT an excuse.
These guidelines also apply to Cat Scan and The Scratching Post.
Remember common sense is a wonderful thing, use it. The rules are just meant to keep the board enjoyable for everyone and not just a few. So have fun and remember that this is a shared community not just a platform for your gripes and grievances or opinions. So take it easy, get to know people, build rapport, and your experience will be so much better as you will become part of our community.
Go Cats!

Rules about content can be found here: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/adult-content-forbidden-on-bigfooty.1217142/
On registration you agreed to not use the forum to submit or link to any Content which is:
- defamatory,
- hateful,
- threatening,
- abusive,
- spam or spam-like,
- likely to offend,
- contains adult or objectionable content,
- contains personal information of others,
- risks copyright infringement,
- encourages unlawful activity,
- or otherwise violates any laws.
Additional Geelong Board general rules
- The moderators aren't robots and don't necessarily read every post. If you see something that you take offence with or is a breach of the forum rules, click the Report Post icon
in the offensive post and it will be moderated.
- Geelong Board and Cat Scan is for football related discussion (all other talk should be kept to The Scratching Post or other boards)
- This is the Geelong Board. Opposition supporters will be infracted for trolling on this board. We welcome balanced discussion from opposition posters.
- Geelong supporters are allowed to be arrogant on the Geelong Board. Opposition supporters criticising Geelong supporters for arrogant posts on the Geelong Board may be infracted. This also applies to internal interaction between Geelong posters.
- If a Geelong poster has been trolling your board then please inform your moderator to deal with that individual rather than take revenge here. Serious infractions will be given to all opposition trolls regardless of alleged trolling by Geelong supporters on your own board.
- This is the Geelong Football Club supporter board. It is a commonplace for said supporters to interact with each other about the club. In no way does that interaction need to be, at every encounter, positive or non critical. Robust discussion and contradicting opinions are the life blood of the board. However, in totality, ones overall presence must reflect support of the club. A continued or consistent negative and derogatory/inflammatory stance pervasive through a majority of posts will be met with removal from access to the board. Posters determined to be intentionally and repeatedly creating an environment that is unfit or unhealthy to the long term discussion of the GFC will be removed.
