Saints Central - Closed down ?
Would appear that the Club may have closed this site down.

agreed, allows two important public services. Releases information quickly to those that would like to know and allows raph haters and idiots to pollute other places.markp wrote:As long as they keep the Saints facebook page up....

Saints Central closed down largely due to a number of formal complaints about total lack of moderation after some very unsavoury and personal attacks by one poster in particular.
I can tell you with certainty that this is the case because unfortunately, as a regular user of the site my name was dragged into the thread in question.
As well as very deragatory and slanderous comments there was atrocious language and content detrimental to the club.
Now, everyone doesn't have to like me, or even agree with me, but I think I can honestly say that I have never done or posted anything that deserves the attacks on that forum. And I was just one victim of many.
The mods on here sometimes get a hard time from some, but let me tell you, they do a wonderful job, and I for one thank them.

That's a shame Saint Debi, I didn't even know it had forum type facilities on that site?
I used to go because I'd want to watch the videos, but as I mentioned, I could never get them to even load.
I remember a couple of times they had a live chat with a couple of Saints, that was probably the best thing they ever attemped on there.

i'm guessing the club would be held accountable only for what it posts officially, not the garbage spewed out by other facebook users. but that is just a guess.saintspremiers wrote:So how is Facebook different?SaintDebi wrote:Saints Central closed down largely due to a number of formal complaints about total lack of moderation after some very unsavoury and personal attacks by one poster in particular.

The best part about facebook s they can delete anything they don;t want on ther plus they can block someone from postings if need be and the rest of us sane supporters can also report anyone who says anything really bad and get them taken off. Saying that you owuld assume that Saints Central had the same capabilities but???
Can you tell I am a Facebook fan

Might be a long bow, but I wonder if the person you refer to was the same one who was reported to both Facebook and the Club for spewing out the most misogynst, racist, sexist drivel you could ever imagine on numerous Andrew Lovett topics during the Pre-season?SaintDebi wrote:Saints Central closed down largely due to a number of formal complaints about total lack of moderation after some very unsavoury and personal attacks by one poster in particular.

The saddest part was discovering after clicking on his name that he was a 50-something member of our Cheer Squad

Not sure, but could be. "misogynist, racist and sexist" definitely describes him to a tee.saint66au wrote:Might be a long bow, but I wonder if the person you refer to was the same one who was reported to both Facebook and the Club for spewing out the most misogynst, racist, sexist drivel you could ever imagine on numerous Andrew Lovett topics during the Pre-season?SaintDebi wrote:Saints Central closed down largely due to a number of formal complaints about total lack of moderation after some very unsavoury and personal attacks by one poster in particular.

I don't know about the cheer squad, but this guy was claiming to be an ex saints player, which I think regardless of whether it was true or not did not reflect well on the club.
I think there were already plans afoot to close Saints Central down, but the recent posts by this person certainly hastened the process.
I know there has been reason to lock threads on here before, but I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen anything on Saintsational that comes
even remotely close to the venomous language and abuse by this person on SC. I know that's a big call, but I'm serious. Not even close.

Most of the decent users of that site are now on True Sainters, which was bascially set up because SC was just out of control. A nice place while it lasted, but without mods, eventually the evil ones crept in and ruined it for everyone.
