Hi Ruckers

 

There have been numerous complaints to us about abusive, slanderous and intollerable forum posts not fit for a rugga forum.

 

Once again, please can we ask that personal insults, racial comments and comments unbefitting to a sports forum be kept away.

 

We also request that illicit comments made about posters families, comments making mention of posters real names and comments made about other similar forums please be kept off the board.

 

Please lets keep it real and sports related.

 

Yours in rugga

Ed

Good one Ed! It's a crying shame that this once dignified board should be dragged down into the gutter.

Although, surely we can have a go at the Auzzies??? After all, they only recently discovered that there are two new uses for sheep, food and wool!!

 

Just kidding!! I love the fact that we have foreign chatters, gives us a perspective on things that we would have missed otherwise.

 

Peace ya'll

I used to be an active member on this site before the change.  So EK told me its active again.  I made a comment on the mainsite got such a negative disgusting respond decided its not worth it cause it looked just like KEO. 

Will check in again to see if it changed now!

Ed

I fully agree to what you said above.   About a week ago I made a plea for the members not to become personal and use the Forum for personal attacks.   My personal point of view is not to make remarks which members will not make face-to-face to the person concerned.   I hope your request as mentioned above have the desired affect.    Thank you for the comments anyway.

Nice logic CleverMike, if you wouldn't say it to a persons face, don't say it here.

I agree with extreme and consistnt abuse being reigned in. I am however surprised that there have been numnerous complains  and would love to know who complained and what their comlaints were.  Waht is numers 1 or 2 or 5?

To me the board has been very  mild by what I have been used to.  Apart from a few moles misbehaving and a very occasioanal lapse the tone has been great. snapster can be discounted as he is simply grandstanding for his gossip girl friends so no one should take him seriously

The trouble with complaints being made  undercover as it were is that one doesnt always know if folk are complaining about you or not. I do NOT want to make this about me but I would personally much prefer a system whereby if you complain you do it openly by posting it on the board for ED's attention. If then I have offended I have a chance to consider my wicked ways and adjust my behaviour to your sensitivties.

However please lets not have gossip girl type secrecy here. Also lets not be too sensitive and behave like cry babies. This is a rugby forum and not the vicars wife tea party club. I have had more than enough of cry babies and gossip girl scaredy cats from the previous board I posted on. 

To me extreme and consistent abuse is out , freedom is prized, crybabies need to harden up and we do not like gossip girl behaviour.

Draad, you can bring any thread to the top . . . especially if you're as sad and as lifeless a loser as the Dumb Ass/Admit One/Sonny Bill complex who keeps an indexed reference of every post there's ever been.

This time Admit one has done it without even using a bump comment. He may be related to the security issues on the site.

It is usually him that does the bumps of very old posts- and I saw a few others today that I believe he bumped up

 OK, so it's an educated guess. If it wasn't Edd or Admin, someone has access to the mechanics of the site. Strange, but impressive skills indeed.

Good grief!
I don't want to be rude or anything but are you guys just pretending to be this dim?
Did you notice that all Sonny Bill/Dumb Ass/Admit One's posts were del3ted earlier on this afternoon?
You know, all those childish posts that were screwing up the margins for everyone . . . and now all those posts are gone?
Yes?
Well, the post that brought this ancient old thread back to the top was one of those.
Sonny Bill/Dumb Ass/Admit One bumped thi s post but now the post that bumped this has been del3ted along with all the other Sonny Bill/Dumb Ass/Admit One posts.
Sheesh!

 Sheesh Rooi, I wasn't aware of any posts deleted. I missed that, but why bump a 4 yo thread and mess up the margins at the same time?

You'd have to ask Sonny Bill/Dumb Ass/Admit One.
If you missed all the fun this morning, Sonny Bill screwed up the margins of every post of mine in the current Rugby Section page. Ed removed all Sonny Bill/Dumb Ass/Admit One's comments and the margins were restored.
Somehwere along the w ay, SB/DA/AO bumped this post to try and make some outlandish and stupid point and the comment of his that bumped this got del3ted along with all his other childish bilge so this 2012 thread is back near the top.
Even now you can see a whole series of posts (currently #11 and down on current page) started by me where Sonny Bill was the last poster . . . but his comments are no longer there. Every one of those posts of his was a post designed to screw the margins and nothing else. All of those posts got del3ted along with any other posts from Sonny Bill/Dumb Ass/Admit One.

Only one other poster calls me Rooi Rooi.
