Default Not Fair (Footy Threads)

Over the last weeks the footy section has hotted up once again despite the mods indicating the do's and dont's their still seems to be people going of topic an getting our threads either closed or deleted when all we want is a good discussion and debate with fellow supporters about our team.

Also think mods are harsh on the pool threads and ban or close them instantly when the other party deliberately open a thread and start baiting about our team in a clever manner and all they get is a telling off and yet they continue and nothing happens?

I think if you going to go down that road either ban or stop them all or let it continue and be fair both ways !

Totally agree with you that mods are harsh with the Liverpool side i think that is obvious.
Constant wind up merchants seem to provoke and get away with it and me given a infraction or should i say 2 for?
Saying the f word and being abusive unbelievable.
Bias Dictatorship at its best

When reporting the other thread to the mod i get a response i quote " Dont Read It Then" how is that fair ? why do you come and read ours and comment and start a feud and then get our thread closed?

No bias.

I am not a fan of either team. Obviously Khan you are incapable of having a discussion about your team without resorting to abusive type language. I can't see any of that in the other thread.

Hey,

What about this?-

In the Liverpool thread just have people who support Liverpool, but in the other they can say what they like, as per the OPs original post. Any baiters will be deleted in the rafa thread.

In return, you don't get abusive and stop pressing the report button willy nilly?

Agree, and I will re-open it, and remove said posts.

so basically your saying you will open our thread back and remove the "not topic" posts that's a good idea but secondly your saying they can keep there thread and bait about our team? so dose that entitle us to open a thread and just bait about their team? guaranteed people will enter both threads and start dishing out either way?

Yes on the 1st point.

On the second point, you don't need to open a new thread there is one already there. But it has to be kept CIVIL.

Abusive, nasty, angry posts will not be tolerated.



BTW, OFF topic posts already gone from the rafa thread.

How about it chaps, can we please have peace? and fun, and try to please everybody at the same time.

I'm ready on the re-open button....

Dont patrnoize me by telling me i am incapable off having a discussion without resulting to abusive language. Obviously you have not seen the constant baiting by others or maybe chose to ignore this.
The thread of the title clearly stated, "support for Rafa" clearly there are posts by Mancs in particular who's sole purpose is to cause sabotage to a thread.
As for me using the f term well clearly you have not seen the many posts by others using more foul language yet clearly they are getting away with this and people like me who take the bait given infractions.
Clear indication of being made a scapegoat by mods like you!
Its obvious there seems to be a lack of communication among mods ie some say rather than respond report the post others say don't report and basically take the bait!!!
What puzzles me even more there are usually the prime suspects that actually result to baiting and bizarrely seem to get away with it and people like me who respond to it punished.
A case of double standards comes to mind!
P.s you only have to look at an old thread ie "Rafa the magician" to clearly see this!

I don't see the need to argue any further.

Do you wish to proceed as mentioned before or not?

as said, the posts have gone.

Yes That Seems Fair For the moment least you can do is unban our threads ! but in future please do your full research on the whole thread instead of being really fast reading the last post and giving out warnings and closing threads!

Thanks!
