Good afternoon
It appears that the sun has got to some people's heads this week and so I find that I need to issue a general reminder about etiquette before the report list goes into complete meltdown.
Please bear in mind.
1) You may be an established poster who feels some level of ownership over this forum. However, this forum is open to all. That includes fans of opposition clubs, new Unitedites and those for whom English is not a first language. We ask that you extend a cordial welcome to all and if you do not have anything nice to say, consider saying nothing.
2) The decision as to whether a member is allowed to post on the forum is to be made by
Foxy or myself. Not self-appointed forum police. Shenanigans will be called when
Foxy or I deem fit. Until then
infractions will be issued for personal abuse as normal. We're not bothered if you think someone is a pig. Report it and we will deal with the matter.
The school holidays are coming up but it appears some adults also have nothing better to do than to try and pick arguments on the internet. They ought to get a fucking life.
3) That being said, we're not here to stop your feelings being hurt. We're getting a number of reports where someone doesn't like something someone else has said but don't fall foul of our personal abuse rules. This is the internet. It's for grown-ups. Just because someone has robustly disagreed with you it doesn't mean we're going to tell them off.
4) Avatars - we keep being sanctioned by our advertisers for pornography. But more importantly for your fellow users, for fuck's sake, keep your avatars in the safe for work territory please or we will turn them off completely.
5) Swearing - yes, it is allowed. But do consider how you're coming across if every other word begins with an eff or cee.
6) Reports - as yet, we only have admins and mods operating in the one timezone. If you report something at 1am, don't expect us to deal with it until a more reasonable hour. If you're that aggrieved, go to bed. Sarcastic messages won't get us out of ours.
Yours
A grumpy Linz
