Soccer forum inconsistent carding

Soccer forum had been moderated on tribal lines for years

mods five cards In rival threads for things they let slide in their own.

the “zero tolerance” rule is a joke, and always has been.

I'd agree 100% with your second line historically but that's simply not the case anymore. In the majority of instances (that I've seen at least) Everyone is now held to the same standard. The post that spurred this thread is very clearly not abusive, its exactly the same as a person saying they love the fact that a player on their team is a "shythouse", its a term long used to describe onfield shenanigans that rile up opposition players.

Just a quick glance at the thread and I'd say its United fans who have received the most cards (as in posted on this thread) from this supposedly biased mod, the argument isnt really stacking up, and as beasty said given that you cant even see cards anymore how would people even know.

Posters really struggling to follow the concept of the thread.

I haven’t accused the mods of being biased.

They’re being accused of not applying the charter. So what’s the point in having one ?

It doesn’t matter anyway. Mods clearly have no interest as this thread has shown.

It’s kinda funny that Beasty mentioned ‘soccer forum tribalism’ when the only tribalism on show is between the mods.

As always, and ever, the mods will support each other’s decisions to the death. Always have done. Regardless of how transparent it all is. Impunity it’s called.

Its actually just called you misunderstanding the charter mate.

It was already explained why the post you complained about in the OP wasn't a breach of charter.

Also how do you know if its being applied or not op?

And if you have any discourse with them over the same they tell you that you should have reported it..ie . putting back on you, the fact that they contributed to the thread a couple of posts later is lost on them...cards should show up on the offending posts, it’s the only way to keep things transparent.

Well then you don't understand the rules of the soccer forum.

It's been made very clear that language such as 'shithead' is not allowed under any circumstance whether it's being used in a fun way or not.

There was constant arguments over this stuff for years and the decision was made that you cannot use that language.

It doesn't matter how you see it, the rules are in place and they were broken by using that word.

The issue here is clear, there's been preferential treatment which is wrong.

It was not used as a nickname. Do you really fail to grasp that?

More whinging about fans of particular clubs "getting away" with precisely nothing
