Commissario
Now these are very simple rules to follow, but please take a moment to read through.
1 Spoilers: Keep all chat around live games in the designated matchday spoilers threads. This allows anybody that hasn't watch the game yet to read the rest of the forum without finding out the outcome of the game.
2 Respect: Another straight forward rule which keeps getting broken, don't insult other people for the teams they support or any random wacky ideas they may seem to have, if you don't agree, say so in a calm manner or walk away. In particular aside from this thread I don't want to see the word 'Scum' mentioned towards a team or supporter (most often reserved for Man U fans, the word 'Goon' in reference to Arsenal fans (Gooner is still ok) or sad sad git for supporting Spurs. It isn't clever to say and it isn't funny ok
. This does not mean no banter...in fact it means almost the opposite, banter without the insults, most here aren't children so use that brain to brag/mock/have a laugh with a modicum of intelligence. Rule breaks of this nature will lead to suspension followed by removal of access to this forum if you keep breaking the rule.
2b Respect: "I hope <insert player/manager/official here> breaks his leg". These posts are unacceptable. We know that emotions will run high during games and people don't really mean these things but that doesn't excuse you writing them. You don't have to like a player or manager but if you cannot express that in a calm and respectful way then don't write anything at all.
3 Swearing: As in the main rules, don't do it, it results in suspensions all over the forums and is no different in here. I know the games are passionate but if you cannot help but swear then go elsewhere before posting in here.
4 Club Threads: Individual club threads have their own rules in the OP - please read these before posting in them. Very briefly though, these threads are for small snippets of news that have no other thread to go in and don't warrant their own thread. Match talk goes in the matchday threads, transfer talk (during the transfer window) goes in the transfer thread and any major news should have it's own thread.
5 SPL: From the start of the 21/22 season we will be allowing a SPL thread again. Due to previous issues, including offensive sectarian posts, this thread will be moderated extremely strictly. If you have any doubts as to whether a comment could be construed as offensive then don't use it and we won't have a problem.
