Your use of English should lead to post moderation. It probably should, well done.

You make some good points to be honest, UV. However, I reckon good posters will respect the place enough to understand why this is the case, even if they disagree with it. Of course there will be some people that will be effected, and they may well sod off, but we're hoping the overall effect will be different. We're on the forum, collectively, 24/7, and we know who tend to be the people that come along and make shit threads, and they're the newcomers on the whole. They don't have a feel for the forum, rarely search to see if something is up already, ask something that's been asked 4000 times which results in our sarcastic members tearing them to shreds, or people just bored to tears with another braindead thread. There's going to be adverse effects of this, but we're hoping they're weighed out and the forum improves.

Yes, your thread was why we done this.

Yes and no.

Glasgow agrees then.

Just leave match threads open then? I think it's fair to have a seperate pre-match thread though. I don't think anyone is complaining about that one, are they?

If they do, they get spotted, they get binned. If people can't use the place respectfully, with the rules we have, then fuck 'em.

Can do what you like with the match threads, we're just doing it how Phil and Chris told us to from day one. Simple as that really. The only thing I hate is the pre-match threads being used to discuss the match, as they're often about a week and a half old by the time the game comes, and filled with mindless amounts of formations. Not really arsed, never really post in them. I've often laughed at the "Official" bit though.

Whatever you say!!! Well, I do live in Glasgow, as does Colinmk, who agrees with me here. Good for you! So you have never seen bigotry in Glasgow then? Have you been to Maryhill? My mates and I were beaten up in Glasgow town Centre just for wearing Rangers tops and we were called "proddy bastards" as they were doing it. Is that sectarian? In the eyes of the police it was! It is, mate. I agree, and yes I have seen bigotry I wasn't claiming it never existed, but I also know, like any other old firm fan or Glaswegian, that if you walk about the city centre with either colours on, you're a walking target. Most have the sense to cover up, or travel about in a pack. I mean, I guess that's not actually good enough, and you should be able to walk around freely, but it's the same the country over. No-go zones for certain fans in certain parts of the city. Glasgow City Centre can be rough at the best of times, if you don't mind me asking, what part of the town was it? I live about a 3 minute drive from Maryhill. It's not a sectarian place, it's got problems with gangs, but a sectarian problem? As if, they're all in the same fucking gangs. My point was Glasgow doesn't have a "sectarian problem" or in your words, "HUGE problem", not that it doesn't exist. It's hilariously overblown though. I've yet to ever meet a Rangers or Celtic fan that's been offended by any song, ever song. Again, it's people getting offended on the behalf of others. People are creating an issue where there isn't one, and they've now got everyone thinking there's a "sectarian problem" here.

It's a fair enough outlook. Having various threads on one subject, or allowing rather, and using the one you like. Fact is though, we get moaned at to merge all the threads, delete stupid threads etc. People don't seem to like the chat split, can get quite clique-ish. We need to meet the requests of the members, on the whole. I agree with stozo on the mods and global mods, started to do that actually.

Me and NSG had a bet, to see how long it would take me. He won.

If only that were true. Like, even in the slightest bit. In my experience it is, and I have moderated forums myself. And like it or not, but one of the best administrated football forum on the internet imho is the smb where they don't make that much of fuzz about all these things. All I can say is, in my experience it's the opposite. When we don't moderate this place, all we do is get told how fucking shite it is. Tell me, why don't you post here, Isegrim? Is it cause you think it's shite here? We're taking steps to improve the place, stop pretending there's some control freak scenario to it. Half the forum were calling for Thread Moderation to be back days ago. Maybe they could see we needed things, cause they're here and know what the forum is like. Unlike yourself.

Something along those lines..

I've heard that area's around Glasgow, like Motherwell, Wishaw, Falkirk, Largs, Kilmarnock and Ayr have a bigger problem with sectarianism than Glasgow itself and on a match day more incidents occur in these places. Well, they can have all the problems they want, but they're not part of Glasgow, where the majority of Rangers and Celtic fans are from. Motherwell I can speak from experience though, and that's overblown. Will give Wishaw, but then, I wouldn't go down Wishaw any time of day, week or the year. These aren't sectarian problems, behave man. They're social problems, like the rough areas in and around Newcastle and every other city around Britain. What do you thinks happening, sectarian riots or something? Will be random scuffles with two sets of supports, again, like any other city around Britain.

HUGE problem? Where? There's a slight problem at games, which gets hilariously overblown by the press and non-Glaswegians. Sure half these songs are "sectarian", whatever that really means to the average man on the street these days, but no-one up here actually gives a shit. It's all you lot, and dare I say, the PC culture pissing and moaning about these stupid songs. Glasgow gets along fine, it's only on an Old Firm matchday (in the stadium) there's a "problem", and later it's in certain areas. Aberdeen are as bad as any of them, but they get away with it, cause they're not sectarian. Why are we allowed to call people all sorts under the sun just because of an area they come from, but the Old Firm lot aren't allowed to sing shit over (ridiculously) legitimate religious beef? If there's a big problem with bigotry in Glasgow, then there's a problem everywhere. Everywhere else gets away with it because, as I say, it's not on religious grounds. Try telling me some of the stuff that's been said about Liverpool and Sunderland amongst others, on here, isn't bigotry.

Thanks for the lesson on racism.

And order restored...

They're not related.

It's flew over the one person twice, mate. He reads this forum, hope he comes forward.

N-O badge top left takes you back. Not that it's very obvious though. EDIT: The above.

It's amazing, we've got new stuff going up, it's like a parody on NUFC life, and there are actually people that think it's serious. And they're complaining. Some read this forum, and I hope you read this. GET A SENSE OF HUMOUR.

Mega gay. Mega gay... What sort of criminal abuse of the English language is that supposed to be? If you think it's shit, just say you think it's shit. Mega gay....fuck's sake, man. I feel your pain, I really do.
