Are you NEW to this site? Rules and Guidelines

no worries guesty123

at times it can be testing, but nothing gives me more pleasure than knowing that nearly 1000 registered (and many more unregistered) fans have a place to call their own.
I'm sure many others agree
 
As much as i hate to admit it…Michael Ennis has got too much class and toughness for someone like Robbie Farah! Yeah sure Robbie & Benji would make outstanding touch footy players, but that's it!
P.S..And the other thing is.. why is it that everyone can see that there is only so much juice you can squeeze out of a lemon (Sheens) but Wests management can't ? :brick:
 
There have been several questionable actions taken by various forum members over the past couple of weeks that have tested the rules of this site. After much debate, the mods have decided to enforce a higher standard of moderating when dealing with attacks on members of the football club.
In respect for the fact that these people, their colleagues or friends may view these forums, the following rules must be followed:

- Extreme attacks on individuals will be removed. This includes comments made in posts, avatars or signatures

We will not deny users the opportunity to criticise individuals within the club but we will stand for a higher level of maturity and civilised debate. What exactly qualifies as "extreme" will be left to individual moderators to determine.

We believe that any argument can be made without resorting to direct and extreme personal attacks.

If you have any questions or if you wish to report a post, please use the "Report" button at the top of each post, contact a moderator via PM or at<contact@weststigersforum.com></contact@weststigersforum.com>
 
With lots of new members and visitors in recent weeks, can I ask that everyone remind themselves with the information provided in the first post of this thread.

Cheers

Hey there Im super new and super unco with this site (true) so thanks for the guidelines (though mostly they are logical - abuse is unacceptable).

Im so pleased to find a Tigers site and with so many users its awesome. Cant wait to interact more when the season starts up and by then hopefully ill be replying to posts that werent posted in 2008 hahaha

if anyone sees me doing something retarded please feel free to message me and correct me or whatever - Im having severe withdrawals and trying hard to :brick:

thanks for having me too :smiley:
 
hi everybody im new to this so bear with me; I was wondering if there are any mad crazy fanatic wests tigers supporters on the sunshine coast , qld. Who are interested in getting together on game day to watch the game and cheer our mighty tigers on, please show me your interest, ps, fanatics only.
 
yeah mate there are a few!

check out this subforum:
http://www.weststigersforum.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

there are a few posters there that are from QLD, including a group of people from brissy that like to get together
 
I noticed recently a post on here bagging Anthony Watmough and making derogatory remarks about him. I don't have a problem with that, but when I posted one questioning the wearing of the DISCREDITED BALANCE BRACELET by Benji, it didn't get a look in. Why, because he is a high profile player??? You should be able to comment constructively regardless of who it is. If this site won't allow that then I will post it on some other teams site
 
i just had a look through the logs and can't find any post by you being deleted.
Are you sure this happened? Please forward any communications that you may have received in regards to this and i'll look into it further.

and I assure you, any criticism of PowerBalance is very much welcomed here.
 
I sent it on Feb 17\. It was in relation to Benji still wearing this PowerBalance Bracelet. I submitted the comments from the ACCC and Choice about it being a sham and people are wasting their money buying it. I had seen Benji on TV the night before at a school and low and behold he was wearing his bracelet. I'm sure somebody has told him they are useless or is he being paid by the maker of this shonky product. Doesn't he have a Manager to tell him if he doesn't understand things??
 
In regards to your post being disapproved:
I've spoken to the mods and none of them recall disapproving your post. I can only suppose those there was an error when you submitted the original post. Every post (approved or not) is logged and I can't see anything against your user account.

In regards to your comments about forum standards:
This is an independant forum. It has been stated several times in this thread and others that criticism of the club, the players and the staff is ALLOWED. As long as the basic guidelines outlined in this thread are followed (and they are fairly straight forward) then any criticism can be posted here.
Long gone are the days of 2007-2008 when the _"nothing anti-Wests Tigers at all"_ approach was implemented. Those days are gone and will never come back.
We've even had a meeting with the club in regards to this and they have said that they do not and will not oppose criticism being posted here as long as it is within our fair guidelines (no threats, personal abuse, illegal stuff, etc..)

In regards to Benji and Powerbalance:
Perhaps you haven't seen this thread -> http://www.weststigersforum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5225" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In it you'll find massive amounts of criticism of PowerBalance and Benji/the Club's recent association with that company.
You'll also fine links to double-blind test result papers, links to the ACCC statements, copies of lawsuits against PowerBalance and various other _anti-powerbalanace_/_pro-critical thinking_ things.
Feel free to contribute to it.

I hope that resolves your concerns

NRLFix.com, a rugby league fan website with a large forum, issued the following statement this afternoon:

To all our members and NRL fanatics: Unfortunately we have had to close our site due to copyright infringements (refer to Copyright Act 1968-Sect 132A1). I can't go into detail of what the Nrl Partnership have done, but I have no choice but to shut the site down. Firstly I would like to thank Azsportza for the amount of work he has put into the site and to all of the staff involved in the site, It wouldn't be where it is without all your hard work. I think we can all agree that the Nrl has made a mistake because at the end of the day all we wanted is to give people around the world the opportunity to watch Nrl hassle free. We have never made $1 off the site it was all for the fans. We hope that you have all enjoyed our site while it was running, and the administrators want to thank you all for your contributions and support.

NRLFix.com had a large forum community with over 10,000 members. One can safely assume that they were shutdown for streaming NRL feeds (WestsTigersForum.com website does not provide such a service).

What this shows is that internet forums, regardless of how big they are, are inherently vulnerable to being shutdown. This is not the first big forum community to be closed; rleague.com was the biggest fan forum on the internet back in 2002/2003 but was closed due to a radio station taking legal action against posts made on that forum. rleague.com is back now, but it has never recovered.

I'm confident that this forum will not face this fate. Not only is the community here very appreciative of the rules that help protect us against these kinds of situations (and others), but the moderators do a good job at targeting any potentially damaging content.

I'm posting this as a reminder that it can all go pear-shaped very easily. Please just keep this in mind when taking part in the discussions.
Our community has been running for nearly a decade now… let's keep it going for longer!

cheers

(this thread will be merged into the "Are you new to this site..." thread next week)
