[GrumpyOne]

the G1's 'Right to Exist' , for as long as this forum survives ,
written into SS law/rules/constitution/or so such control machinations.

... preferably as a Community Moderated Entity , 18 years 'n older ,
invite only structure.*
(no dobbing , no mods , no set structure .... let the Community figure it out)


*
all welcome initially.
... the Community has the right to withdraw invite.

That sort of exists already ... it is called the ANIMAL ENCLOSURE and only restrictions are to comply with the laws of Victoria and Australia.

so why did i cop a months ban for saying what i really thought of certain posters in the AE?.....i don't go there anymore as i feel it is too risky....

I wouldn't mind getting an answer to that myself......

ANIMAL ENCLOSURE FORUM RULES (AS AT 5 OCTOBER, 2013)

By entering this forum you agree that you are 18 years of age or older.

This Animal Enclosure is where inappropriate content for people under 18 years of age will be moved from other Forums and where disputes between posters will be moved for the posters to continue taking pot shots at each other!

This forum is not for the faint hearted. If you cannot stand the heat get out of the kitchen!

FORUM MODERATION

The forum will not be read in full by the Saintsational moderators!

If you spot banned behaviour – please alert (!) the Forum Moderators immediately.

Do not whinge to moderators about being abused or insulted in the Animal Enclosure. It is almost to be expected that post will offend!

You have been warned!

BANNED BEHAVIOUR

You may not threaten or bully another forum poster.

You may not engage in any form of pornographic, racist, homophobic, or any illegal behaviour.

Spamming is forbidden.

The use of multiple sign in identities will not be tolerated at all.

Do not post private details of your own or other posters in the public forums of the Animal Enclosure.

It is not appropriate to post private messages in public on the Animal Enclosure.

MODERATION

The moderation team has the right to edit or delete threads or posts that constitute banned behaviour and at their discretion even suspend the offending poster (with NO WARNINGS) for a period determined by the moderation team, if they deem it necessary.

Bans will be published for all to see in the Animal Enclosure and Fan Forum.

TOLERATED BEHAVIOUR

Baiting, belittling, insults, swearing and abuse may be encountered by posters and readers in this forum. While as ‘one offs’ they will not be deemed as banned behaviour, constant use of these behaviours directed at individual posters WILL be deemed as bullying.

[BackFromUSA]

Please note cyber bullying is against the law.

[stinger]

not quite as you posted before is it mate..??....and i quote

"that sort of exists already ... it is called the ANIMAL ENCLOSURE and only restrictions are to comply with the laws of Victoria and Australia.






..false advertising maybe??????


i still ask......if the only restrictions relate to the laws of australia....why did i cop a months ban.....???....i'm not really fussed...and wont be going back there unless i have a change of heart....but i'm bemused by your continual reference to the AE as the place to go if punters really want to have a go at each other....


to me participating in that forum is only going to invite a ban...as you say

"TOLERATED BEHAVIOUR

Baiting, belittling, insults, swearing and abuse may be encountered by posters and readers in this forum. While as ‘one offs’ they will not be deemed as banned behaviour, constant use of these behaviours directed at individual posters WILL be deemed as bullying."


....so if someone insults, baits, belittles and abuses you and you reply in kind..... more than once...as is want to happen.......you regard it as bullying...hence against the law of the land and a suspension or warning will follow suit.......

...as i said...that forum is too risky and i will give it a miss....thanks all the same...

[plugger66]

Please note cyber bullying is against the law.

It is but I wasnt cyber bullyed by Stinger. it didnt effect me at all but he got a ban for it as did I.

[GrumpyOne]

i still ask......if the only restrictions relate to the laws of australia....why did i cop a months ban..

And I am still interested in the answer.

Far be it for me to defend Stinger, but under the AE rules, his post would appear to have been in order.

It was because the AFL can shut the site down whenever they like.

Free country. Do as you wish. Rules are there. Easy to understand. Easy to follow. Use as you like or don't use. Break the rules and get warned / banned. Pretty simple.

Of course you can start your own forums elsewhere. No hard feelings.

Is that an answer?

Congratulations BFUSA, it is a rare achievement to get Stinger and I to agree on anything.

[Cairnsman]

Yeah is that an answer?

Hey on a side note and just because I'm curious, BFUSA do you currently network with AFL/club officials or do you see it as an advantage in your current business dealings to have a relationship with AFL/club officials?

[matrix]

so whats going on with updates?
every time i go to read something the f****** thread has been locked
which is kind of silly really
its in an admin area where suggestions and ideas are being thrown around yet the threads keep getting locled

what updates are happening in the off season?

[asiu]

nah , those two threads were moved here locked.

... suggestions , questions 'n ideas around here receive the
'you can leave and start your own forum' response.

fork , done afaic.

[Dave McNamara]

I'm not being ironic nor sarcastic here...
could we please have back emoticons to denote irony, and sarcasm too?

Thanks.

[BackFromUSA]

Yeah is that an answer?

Hey on a side note and just because I'm curious, BFUSA do you currently network with AFL/club officials or do you see it as an advantage in your current business dealings to have a relationship with AFL/club officials?

I do not "network" with club or AFL officials.

I have nothing to hide.

So here is full disclosure!

I am a 43 year member of the St.Kilda Football Club. In the 90's, I was a member of the Halos coterie. i am no longer a member of that coterie. I am and have been a player sponsor for numerous years, i have played in the two of the recent legends games as a paying participant and i have served on voluntary membership committees at the club in the 90s and early 2000s.

So yes I am known by those associated with the club both past and present including board members, employees and players.

I have done these things to help the club financially and otherwise and it serves no purpose to my current businesses.

I subscribe to the theory that only well financed and resourced clubs win premierships.

As for the AFL - I was a consultant during the Ross Oakley and Wayne Jackson era (Wayne sacked me and replaced me with a friend of his from South Australia) and in the past I have consulted for many businesses associated with the AFL including major media outlets. As a result I am known to some AFL "identities" but I have not done any such consulting in almost a decade.

However I have no current business interest or ambition that is specifically AFL related.

My current businesses are so far away from AFL that it is not funny.

I am here doing this purely because I love Saintsational and the Saints.

I have been on Saintsational for 15 years and plan to be here for 15 more years and hopefully more beyond that.

Will ask the tech gurus.

Seems like a simple request.

As asked previously ... What are your top 3 requests?

Disagree...... not surprisingly....

This is an unofficial Fan Forum.

BFUSA has long-standing close links to the club.

One could theorise that this is a club-backed venture to take over and control our Forum.

SS has embarrassed the Club many times in the past by revealing the truth behind the public face, and by disclosing information that the club would prefer were buried.

It would be in the Club's best interest to silence such "leaks".

Truth is always the best policy.

So now I am being accused of being a club endorsed plant to control the forum.

OMG.

LOL.

They have zero idea of my involvement here.

The last employee that knew I was involved here was David Friend (ex head of Membership and Merchandise) when I worked with him to get the club to help establish the Moorabbin Wing.

No current player, employee or board member would even know I posted here ... And no idea that I act as admin for Damien and act as a moderator.

I however live that you guys have built this "puppet" conspiriency theory.

Very amusing!

If you are not a club endorsed plant, then you must be the biggest egotist to post on this forum, as the names are dropped more frequently than my Labrador does her business in the back yard.

and....

"you guys"?????

Which guys are those, as no-one here had advance notice of the content of my post?
