Those who have been here a while will appreciate that we're considerably more lenient with our moderating during the summer 'silly season'.
And so, as we get set to enter another season of football - a reminder that we do ask that all to follow our guidelines to ensure these forums remain user-friendly.
We've been in the trenches for years with Everton - perhaps unsurprisingly, it has coincided with an increase of angst across the forum. With that - sadly, we're seeing more and more 'playing the man, not the ball'...
We're all Evertonians, if someone posts something you disagree with you can say so without being an arse. Give people the benefit of doubt. Digital conversation in general is becomingly increasingly divisive/partisan and abusive - let's try and buck the trend on here.
GOT should always allow fun, it should always offer escapism to some - moderators need to respect that, but you have to help us out.
Please think before you post and help us maintain your community so we can collectively accurately represent the fan base with pride.
If you're still reading this - thanks. In short, I'll just be lashing accounts in the coming weeks who fail the "is this a nob head?" sniff test.
Nice one.
