Forum Rules Exist!!??? Fooey!!

Seems to have been a dramatic decline in the maturity and sensibleness of many people posting on these forums. Until the last month I found many interesting posts & discussions, but lateley some people have seen fit to resort to name calling, threats, profanities, swearing, rumour, inuendo, narcisim, vindictive personal posts, and the lists goes on!!

Isaac, you own the site/forums. I believe it is prudent to delete all those posts, warn or ban such posters, and have people tidy up their act before someone does take matters further!! I say this as a strong basketball supporter and for your own protection.

Posters, I suggest you be mature and sensible and cease from a lot of this "crap" some of you go on about. Stop being personal and name calling etc etc. Facts or thoughts and ideas, not rumour and denigration!

"By posting to this forum or reading beyond these terms you agree not to post any information that is threatening, obscene, defamatory and/or knowingly false, hateful, sexually oriented or in violation of any Australian law. "

Think about it, or go on a long holiday!!

Some of the words written and how they are written/expressed do NOT give an element of fun in them at all. And also think about how Mr or Mrs Population would look upon some of the threads and various posts, especially if their son or daughter are playing in any club, OR clubs where people are mentioned by name in terms along the way I originally posted.

BTW, your sarcasm re the kitchen and heat : been in more heat and kitchens over the years : does not bother me in the least.

PERCEPTIONS of others reading, and possible legal challenges would, in some of the threads that others have written.

Spot on. While the threads about the assistant coach of Norwood u18s and Centrals next JDO might be just a dig at Damien Tsouris from someone who knows him, most people who read this have no idea who the guy is and don't need to read this stuff. This is not the appropriate place for your childish crap.

Tiger/Lion/anonymous - or whatever you want to call yourself next - give it a rest.

No one can condone what has posted and some of it has been derogatory leading towards a libel (a permanent form of writing) and the plaintiff (who it is written about) can take a 'tort of deformation' out on the defendant (Whom wrote it) so let all think before we post some garbage about another person even if it may be true and especially on a public forum.

This being a public forum you will always get immature people who will always try and find a way of getting under someone skin, like it or not, it is human nature.

Raises my glass to all of those, including myself, who are getting a tad weary of some of the posts making their way on......please let's just keep posting things that are interesting to those of us that love our basketball, it would be such a shame to lose this fantastic forum!!!

Not fair on moderators to put in twice as much work because some cant control themselves

as some one that has about 75% of my posting deleted for what ever reason, if it is in fun then fair enough but when it involves a club that is going thru a bit of dificulty then thats not on

Farviewer, start a petition and I'll sign it. Kids, go back to school please ..... or play by the rules of the adult world. Sorry to preach at ya, but it's the truth.

I agree with what you are saying farViewer but maybe we should change your login to FunPolice. Don't take offence, but it seems like it is only the stirring of some debate that is occurring.

I'm sorry if I have not quite fulfilled my obligations as moderator. Thought I haven't talked to Libertine for a few months, I'm sure he is in the same position as me, with uni exams and work we would not have the time to moderate the forum as usual. Added to Isaac being away the standards may have slipped. I will be more active from now as my obligations are lowered.

Sorry guys, as DC and Libertine have said I was away from Thursday - Saturday. I'll be reviewing the 460 or so posts made in that time when I have a moment, and remove anything less than fair.

As always, if there's any specific post you want to complain about, send me the link/ID by email, and I'll look into it.
