Re: FORUM BANS BEING ISSUED
two diff areas under the one forum umbrella, with two diff sets of rules and two diff sets of penalties for breaking said rules
mehhh...not that i care as i dont bother getting suckered into the stupidness anymore and use the foe button instead
so, screw the warnings, who friggin cares about peanuts getting banned after have a witty bitty tiff on a keyboard
more importantly when is the site going to brought up to date into the 21st century?
not long now and the footy starts

Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.

The structure is simple and logical.
The Animal Enclosure exists to move bickering and squabbling from the other forums (that was hindering real discussion of topics) to a forum where the squabble could continue. This can be achieved by the moderators splitting the topic between the forums and moving the squabbling posts to the Animal Enclosure.
There in the Animal Enclosure the posters can continue to squabble IF THEY SO CHOOSE however the rules are different down there in the AE. Essentially they are free to squabble unless they are cyber bullying or threatening another poster or are racist, homophobic etc. All there in the rules!
As for the site redevelopment:
- my website guy finished his previous project on Friday (my company website)
- we only received access and passwords to Saintsational on Thursday this week
Work commences on Monday.
Essentially Saintsational.com will eventually become a supporters hub.
- some proprietary editorial will appear there (from saints fans in the media)
- some proprietary interviews (with ex players)
- some proprietary competitions will appear there e.g. Trivia Quiz (may need a volunteer quiz master)
- some proprietary fund raising activities for the footy club (even beyond player sponsorship)
- news feeds from across the web will be posted there (may need a volunteer managing editor)
- the last 5 threads from the Saintsational Fan Forum will appear there
- 5 most recent twitter feeds from the club and players will appear there
- 5 latest Facebook feeds will appear there (with links to source content)
- Possibly fan Instagram - working out mechanics of this
- Other activity planned for the long term
Other suggestions are welcome.
Please note that I am donating my web guys services for this and no funds are being asked for his time to create this not are we using the funds raised to pay for the hosting services. If we need to pay for any software then we may come to the forum to ask for funds or permission to use current funds.
I am also hoping that Battye will make the forum tapatalk compliant as well.

Good on the mods for all their hard work. It's something of a thankless job, and without them Saintsational would descend into a jungle...though that may what some folk want?

It is what some folk had turned it into before BFUSA too it upon himself to clean SS upand make it relevant.
And to anyone who thinks I'm sucking up to the mods, I have been warned and accepted it.
One of the banned posters I have had on ignore for about a year and only see the bile and hatred if someone quotes his rubbish.
The two who were banned for a week, I find reasonable, and dont have then on ignore.
IMO this place would be much better if one poster was permanently banned as he has been banned for a month on two previous occasions and is obviously a recidivist troller, baiter and abuser.
A total jerk in my opinion and has no place on this forum.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Will Saintsational still remain independent of the club or other commercial interests and not have any conflict of interest that will take away it's free speech?

Re: FORUM BANS BEING ISSUED
good on Back from the USA (and the whole Moderating team) As the old saying goes "you can't please everyone" The moderators (IMHO) do a difficult job very well, and the simple truth is, that if we maintain some level of reason and decency when posting, the moderators will be conspicuous by their absence. I do NOT want bans to be used on here, but some stuff just goes beyond the pale (IMHO)

Re: FORUM BANS BEING ISSUED
good to hear
its seriously long over due to have an upgrade
if the site needs donations im sure posters could help out in this regard
$5 each from a lot of posters would soon add up and help towards making this the best afl/saints site on the internet
ps i didnt even read the bit about rules and diff forums etc
its either one set of rules or none imo
but whatever
im not going to be getting a warning soon so its not going to effect me
look forward to updates

I can't give an opinion until i've played in that landscaped yard, sure sounds like one heck of a makeover.

Yes there are also others who have time to post anything and everything, seemingly to get their post counts up - and attention seek.Enrico_Misso wrote:
.....But why not hit them where it really most hurts them?
Fine them 5,000 posts for each transgression.
They seem to be totally and solely obsessed with getting their post counts up by continually posting puerile infantile rubbish.
So punish them where it hurts them most.
Swamping these boards with inane posts IMO.
Not sure P66 starts threads to get his post count high
