- This thread is for tiny bits of news that have no other thread to go in and aren't big enough to justify their own thread - renaming a stand after an ex player, a small injury update, a contract renewal etc. It is not for discussing anything and everything related to Arsenal. Anything that is likely to attract more than a handful of replies should go in it's own thread - the discussion about Mesut Ozil here for example.
- No Spoilers! All chat relating to matches, before, during and after the match has taken place is to go in the dedicated spoilers threads we have. No exceptions!
- Transfer talk is to go in the dedicated transfer threads - Small rumours or signings of youth players outside the transfer window and when the transfer threads aren't open are fine but as mentioned in rule 1, if it's likely to attact lots of replies then start a new thread.
- As per forum rules, keep it civil. Supporters of any team are welcome to post in all club threads. If you have a problem with a post then report it. Trolling or accusations of trolling will not be tolerated.
This thread will be locked until the day after Arsenal's first league game just to give our resident Arsenal supporters plenty of time to familiarise themselves with the rules because the strike system from the last thread is still going to remain in place. For every rule break you will receive a strike and the punishments for each strike are as follows:
Strike 1 - 7 day thread ban
Strike 2 - 30 day thread ban and 1 week forum suspension
Strike 3 - Permanent thread ban and 2 week forum suspension
If somebody else chooses to ignore the rules and starts discussing transfers or the weekends match in here, that is not a free pass for you to follow suit. Any rule breaks will result in a strike no matter whether you started the conversation or simply replied.
Finally, those of you that were permanently banned from the last thread will begin on strike 2 so please take particular care because one rule break and you'll be permenantly banned from the thread again and receive a 2 week suspension.
