Sportsssssss banter/arguments

[Geraint]

If people take offence to half the things said in the sports forum then god help them when they enter the real world and start experiencing things for themselves.

Jake: you are right but its hard to find people.

Adam: also right however what kardan said is also right. Person A could make a comment about a particular team which person B may not find offensive yet person C may be very offended. Some people are more personal about their football teams.

Kardan: you are looking at this the way we look at it, glad to see we arent alone. Not sure on the need to be stricter thing though.

But Oli, nobody should be warned or infracted for saying something about a football team surely? Everybody has a right to express their opinion on different teams/political parties but if somebody was saying something about the member thats different of course otherwise we would be getting back to the situation of a certain member a couple of years ago who got infracted for saying 'channel 4 was crap' - that was a classic.

Okay -examples ONLY:

1. Manchester City are crap.

2. Manchester City are crap and their players are all ******* idiots.


3. Manchester city are crap and their players are ******* idiots and you
are a ******* idiot for supporting them.

Only point 3 in my opinion would be worthy of any action because it is a personal attack on the member. Thats my view anyway.

I still see that as banter lol.

4. Man City are crap, your mum's a prostitute and you deserve to die for supporting them.

That's too far.

People have been banned in the past for calling me a scouse 'something' and there getting banned for it, when i havnt reported them or nothing.

I agree with this Rosie. Comments like that are fine but when it comes to making threads solely to make bad comments about other peoples teams - this is where it goes too far.

So you think it's alright for someone to say "Manchester City are crap and their players are ******* idiots" yet this isn't...

Just like to add. The threads he is talking about, aimed at other teams... there were about 3 created. Nothing major. That's why we have a team of moderators to close the threads and hand out sanctions to individuals involved rather than penalising the whole forum.

There were 7 threads across the forums. The users were sanctioned. However im for preventing sanctions tbh. So a post reminding users threads like that are unacceptable could help? I know at least 2 other mods that agree.

In reference to your infraction against that man city comment, man city isnt a member jake, ksoz is.

Accusatory, provocative posts aimed at another's person = posting to cause arguments.

[Chippiewill]

Person C is an idiot and shouldn't get involved.

Try telling that to Mod D
