GrandOldTeam's purpose, rules and guidelines

[Hibbosculturedrightboot]

I have a genuine question about the alehouse - and it relates to Tubey's post above. In the rules it stipulates we should not get political or relgious. But I have witnessed (and participated) in some decent debates about politics, religion and other aspects of life in the alehouse. Of course sometimes they descend into abuse and silliness, but my sense is that it is the latter you are trying to stamp out rather than debate? In short, I feel it would be a shame to not have such discussions, so what is the official position?

Thanks.

Have I been infracted for anything? Will I get a notification if so?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I know I was just playing it down

But the above was a serious question, I wasn't inferring anything by it - does it apply just to the Everton forum mate? I thought I'd ask just to clarify it for certain to everyone, as nothing in those rules refer just to the Everton forum.

Pedantic, quoting a random thread - one that encourages random debate and asking if it needs to stay on topic?

The question was answered here.

It really is painfully simple. Everton forum, Everton discussion.

With regards to everywhere else, more leniency will be shown, but that isn't a license for some egos to take the piss and sabotage threads like "What are you currently listening to?" in the Ale House...

You get a pop up just like you would if you got rep from a user.

If you click "Settings", a list of all your infractions is viewable.

Make sure you copy and paste them in here as well jock.

Official position is what is cited.
Official position is that moderation discretion can be applied to all, none more so than politics/religion.

I'm frightened to say anything, think I'll lurk for a week or so.

I wasn't quoting a random thread, I was giving an example to show what I was talking about...

I've said twice now I understand perfectly how it applies to the Everton forum, and I agree completely. All I was doing was asking whether that same firmness applies to the Ale House/World Football, because - as you can see by hibbosculturedrightboots question - there may be some confusion over it.

To be honest, I was only asking so as to clear it up on this thread once and for all so people don't have a leg to stand on when they do go OT!

Hahaha going into hiding seems like a good idea.

This is a major crack down from the MoDz and we're all in the firing line. No one is safe.

*prays they haven't seen the foof chart...

Its simple, we all know the rules, follow them or take the infractions.

*glows*

Clearly im not saying im a Saint, far from it, but you know, the game really is the game.

 

[Pat's Van]

Leave the moderating, to the moderators.

And in reference to your point - you can't see who gets infractions so are in no place to judge!

the little red cards that appear under some posts, aren't they infractions ? coz I can see em

I think he meant Hayee cant see them, due to maybe being on a phone or something.

i reckon it's just a dig at me as i'm not mod. i know i go off topic, and sometimes deliberately so in the Ale House, but i'd clean this place up!!

Are you saying you think you could do a better job than the MoDz?

Are you trying to play ref?

 

[chicoazul]

Fair enough. Half these hoppers don't get what it's about.

Sorry if I've contributed to the tittishness which I probably have.
