Afternoon all,
As you are all aware it has been a quite turbulent couple of weeks at the club with a few players leaving such as Sean Geddes, at times the posts regarding some issues have got quite heated, and that's to be expected. However, while on the Forum administration panel, I came across a section entitled 'REPORTS'. Quite a while ago, this forum was reported for comments made on a thread which someone reading didn't like. (Being able to report a comment is common practice on most sites). The host board we are with have a policy of 3 strikes and you're out, and that was our first warning. However, it has came to my attention that at some point in the past week, we have a received our second warning. Essentially, one more and the forum will be closed without choice.
Thus, why I feel it is now appropriate to create such a thread.
The number of people that read this forum, without being signed up is a scary number, I could, in theory close it to members only, however I don't really think that's necessary. However, the point is ANYONE can read what we put on here. Signed up or not. The 2 reports I know for a fact haven't came from members of the forum. Any comments that could be viewed offensive to an individual will be dealt with, whether that be a player, member of management OR member of this forum. That doesn't constitute 'Luke had a poor game today'. (Sorry, Luke
) However comments making indecent accusations, offensive comments etc etc will not be tolerated. I like to think that Stour is a little different to most clubs and the tight knitted feel we have, players, supporters and management alike is what makes us special. In the last few weeks, comments have been made that have put that link in an awkward position, and have also put me in an awkward position on exactly what to do. It isn't an easy job and I would be most grateful if you could all comply and cooperate together.
This is by no means suggesting this place is going to be a Stour propaganda machine. If you disagree with something at the club, post it, debate is healthy-no-one has an issue on that. However, at times, it has recently gone too far, and I've tried to ignore it up to now, and hope it fizzled out, however seeing as we are on the last warning, I now have no choice but to say something!
Once again, thanks for you cooperation and for making this forum a success, and see you all soon, whether that be at Market Drayton, Barwell or Curzon.
Cheers, Jack.
