Abuse towards footballers online

Was working for O2 at the time. If you read through the thread I was giving generalisations of what was coming out in the near future. It was classed as "Disclosing confidential company information that maybe beneficial to a competitor"

Kind of worrying if Boards gave your details away tbh

I would think O2 would have had all the necessary information on their own servers. Might take a bit longer to isolate and crosscheck, but surely doable.

Really? Shows how much I know

I see they’re after charging a 49 year old for sending online racial abuse to Romaine Sawyers. Let’s see if this one actually gets taken seriously or if it’s just part of the continued agenda in relation to the social media companies and eliminating any form of anonymity.

Yes, posted from a work computer. The thing is it's very easy to run down an IP address if you need to so there should be no problem blocking one if it's found to post abuse! Maybe a mod can clarify but don't Boards do the same to stop re-regs?

Find all posts to boards.ie within a 15-min time frame of the offending post (which will appear beside the post, even it not logged in) - sort by employee number. You said that more than one person was fired..?

From what I learnt in my disciplinary hearing I believe it was 8 in total. It seems the rest were sharing worse than the thread I showed but it was a case of of "If we sack them we have to sack everyone that posted!" I brought it up in my appeal that if a customer asked in store what should I say? I was told exactly what you said but because it was online it was available to a competitor. I did have a confidentiality clause in my contract so was screwed!

Hopefully people get the message that what you post online can have real world consequences!

I don't mind answering questions on it but don't want to drag the thread off topic so if anyone has a question PM me.

Not online abuse but what hope is there to clean it up when people in the game itself are like this in real life?

Albion Rovers' David Cox says he has quit football after claiming he was verbally abused about his mental health struggles by an opposition player.

I wonder will any footballer forget to cancel their automated posts before games over the weekend.
