Banned

[weststigers]

I think the mods are pretty fair...whether you agree with them or not, you get fair warning well before you are banned.

As someone who has frequented the politics thread, the mods allow some pretty heavy and robust discussion to occur so it's not like it's Nazi Germany censorship going on.

They leave plenty of room to voice our opinions and I don't think a stance on swearing, as strict as some may feel it is, makes a difference in how a forum member can express their views.

As long as I've been a member it's always been like that.

Swearing may be acceptable to some but that doesn't mean it is to everyone, if you swore in front of me you would probably get away with it but if your swore in front of my wife and daughter then I would definitely ask you to stop. I have done it at football games when someone has sworn in front of them and the response is always "its a game of footy. come on!" I don't care if it is footy related you do not swear in front of my wife and kids. We have kids that use this forum so swearing is not ok, frustration or not I would questions someone's vocab if they are unable to get their point across without swearing.

Ashamed to say, I used to do that at the footy when I was younger mate. I used to berate the ref, swearing and carrying on, very loudly, until one day a guy a few rows in front up stood up and said 'I got my grandmother sitting next to me here. Cut out the swearing!" It hit me hard, and I have pulled my head in ever since.

I still think it and sometimes say a thing or two, but am much more mindful of my surroundings and try very hard not to subject others to that, because yeah, if that was my grandmother, I wouldn't want her subjected to that sort of carry on.

HAHA I remember once the autocorrect wouldn't allow us to use the word "fullback" as it started with "fu" and ended "ck"

Every forum and online platform has its differences. I wouldn't be the only person to say that this place is "overmoderated". But for whatever reason, I do enjoy it as they take a lot of the dribble out. With most forums, I used to just scroll past 90% of the posts as they were spam or people talking out of frustration. I'd say every other forum is like our "live game threads" LOL.

This is a much better forum than the trash on "The Kennel".
I'm glad that foul language is not permitted on here.

Fair call but there's a huge difference between what's allowed on this forum and what's allowed on The Kennel. I think the argument is around whether we are too strict , not whether we should descend into the gutter with The Kennel. It's a discussion, not a revolt.

Well said... That said I can see no matter our opinions nothing will change here

Why do you want to be able to use disguised swearing?

What makes me laugh is that two letter posts get deleted but the descriptions of Bankwest stadium is left unpunished .
Go figure ..

Mate there is nothing to be ashamed of when you grow from an experience. We have all done things we wish we didn't, the true measure is if we learn from those experience and change our behaviour.

But there is a few double standards when it comes to moderation ...but I’m more than happy to comply ..
Maybe the moderators need to do a refresher course from time to time ?
Not naming names ?

[AJ1]

I understand the mods not wanting swearing on the forums, but I feel disguised swearing is ok so long as it's not done as a personal attack. So long as people are being respectful I don't see what the big issue is

I'm sure you can find better adjectives to describe the refs, i'm not having a go but I don't see how swearing, disguised or not adds anything to a conversation, its just poor use of vocab. Technically what your abbreviation above is still disguised swearing.
