you seem to just wanna preach forum rules, but do eff all about it when challanged on it
if i get a card for what ive just said then feel free, but be rest assured it wont be warranted at all
Judge, if it's a to-the-letter application of the forum rules you're looking for, I'd prefer to start with the big stuff and work my way down to things like avatars.
So, perhaps we might start with:
Extensive public discussions of moderating decisions will be discouraged. In the past, such discussions have served little purpose other than to derail threads, rehash old grievances and rekindle dormant flame wars. Members are reminded that this board exists first and foremost to discuss football and to share interesting perspectives on the wider world; persistent forum politicking advances neither of these aims and will be shut down. However, broader discussion about the functioning of the forum is acceptable when it is put forward in good faith and when it is not tied to a particular moderating decision.
Or, maybe this:
Certain offenses are more serious than garden variety abuse etc. and will be dealt with swiftly and decisively by the moderators. The following offenses will not be tolerated:
• Overt and spiteful xenophobic, sexist, homophobic or racist remarks
• Insults directed at another poster’s family members
• Insults that mock another poster’s illnesses or personal setbacks
• Threats of violence or hardship directed at another poster in ‘real life’
• Derogatory remarks concerning the Hillsborough or Hysel tragedies
• The posting of images or links that are indecent/pornographic, graphically violent/disturbing or otherwise in very poor taste (the ‘NSFW’ test)
Maybe I should ask everyone to edit all past remarks that run afoul of these particular rules? Maybe once that's all dealt with, we can see about avatars.
just the picture avatars bob, as these are seen first
ive edited mine, as you can see, and i will look for another less offensive ones, which might provoke dislike from any bradford supporters
