the mods don't understand the meaning of the word banter.

If you can give some specific examples of 'banter' that has been penalised
then I am sure you would be listened to. Tbh I haven't seen much evidence of banter being penalised just people being rude, insulting each other and then the excuse is 'banter ' or people don't understand the football mentality. Well spam is a good example as to where genuine 'banter' actually operates very well.

Geraint I have seen you all around the forum!

If I call Geraint a sheep ******* welshy I'm sure he'll take no offense.

If you've ever been to a football match then you'd know the level of banter there

The same circle of people post in the football threads in that section so they know what to expect.

And I am certain that a comment like that wouldn't be penalised adammm because it is obvious banter.

So it's not true. Sarcasm CAN be shown on a forum.

Bravo, namesake, bravo.

Just because you're discussing football doesn't mean it has to be discussed in the way you'd chant at a game? That's what you seem to be forgetting. The Sports Forum isn't meant to be a representation of a Football Stand and the Forum isn't a representation of real life. In real life you can swear, you can't on here, I could go on but don't think I need to...
