The Sweet FA - Explained
Section 1: The Concept
The Sweet FA Board is a fantasy footy forum where you are able to play in the role of a footy star in a fantasy world called 'Sweet'. The basic premise is you banter in match threads, make media that generate controversy and discussion, and at the end of the week you play a simulated game of Qooty. You do all this under the guise of a persona. What is a persona?Section 1: The Concept
persona: the particular type of character that a person seems to have and that is often different from their real or private character: He had a shy, retiring side to his personality that was completely at odds with his public persona. (Cambridge Dictionary)
In the Sweet FA, your 'persona' is the character you decide to portray yourself as while posting on the forum. This can be hero or villain, and when you banter it is assumed that your posts are directed at the persona of your opponent and vice versa. Your persona is a separate entity from your real life person in the same way that an actor's character in a movie is different from the actor themselves in the real world. This means that banter is not directed at you personally and is not intended to be taken in a serious manner. It is important to understand this concept in order to get the most enjoyment out of the Sweet FA. (More Info)
Section 2: The Boundaries
Bigfooty Terms and Rules must be complied with while in the Sweet FA, and Rule 1 of the Sweet FA Rules thread covers the basic conduct and etiquette of Bigfooty that must be followed on this board.
In regards to the matter of determining what constitutes abuse, we consider whether your post is directed at the persona or person. If your posting is directed at a persona, it is fine even if the banter is antagonistic in nature. If you attack another poster on the basis of real life circumstances, personal characteristics, or other issues external to the Sweet FA in order to bully/threaten/demean/harass them then this is considered personal abuse and will not be condoned.
Additionally, certain topics (for instance mental health, suicide, rape, cancer etc.) may be considered insensitive and inappropriate for banter material by many posters and on such occasions moderation may occur. Please be considerate of where the line is, usually common sense will be a sufficient guide in this regard but if in doubt feel free to ask a moderator.
Section 3: How The Board Is Moderated
Because the Sweet FA is primarily a banter forum, the moderation will be much more lenient than other boards. In our view this approach allows the banter to flow naturally and makes the Sweet FA more enjoyable than it would be if we moderated to excessively strict standards.Generally, one-off instances of inappropriate posting can be resolved with a simple deletion and private word. Only intentional and serious offences, as well as pests who repeatedly break board rules with disregard for moderator warnings will be at risk of receiving infractions. This standard of moderation will apply for all players across the Sweet FA. If you take serious issue with something posted on the board or a moderator decision, posting long strings of public complaints and whining will benefit no one. The appropriate action is to report the post or contact a moderator via PM.
We hope to see some humorous, creative, interesting posting in the remainder of Season 24 and everyone has fun and enjoys themselves.
