    P.S. thank you all for donating your time to this. At a time when the spikeyness of the Internet appears at an all time high, moderatorship by volunteers is still the best weapon we have against trolls and hatred.

    Hi mods, is there any reason why you can’t be more aggressive banning obvious wind up accounts? The mood is quite toxic in the Ireland thread for example. Maybe a ‘private group forum’ like the soccer forum has might result in a more pleasant atmosphere?

    He's rumoured to be living with a previously undiscovered South American Forest tribe where he has become a Hipster God always being into stuff before they become cool.

    Folks there might be one or two match threads in the world cup that I'd like to write. Don't have any stake more than anyone else - but we established a rota previously for match threads for the world cup and six nations and I always felt it worked well and created an expectation so the threads themselves were of a good standard starting off.

    Any chance we could look at doing the same for the RWC?

    How long typically for a reported post to be acted upon? Thanks.

    It depends on when a mod sees the notification. However not all reported posts are acted on, as the mods may not agree that it is something that requires action.

    @awec this appears to be the appropriate thread to ask this question rather than cluttering up the Irish thread. Please see the above post from about a year ago. Is there any reason why we couldn’t consider this?

    Would agree With this or at least could we have for all big games at least and even some league games jn case of provinces match threads. And keep provincial discussion threads yo post match talk/chat. Could stop some of the clutter from messing up provincial threads in some cases as it might be kept in actual match threads.

    In rugby we often complain about bringing in new laws or changing the ones we have, what's in the charter is good enough, just enforce it for a while and people will learn from their mistakes or the mistakes of others. It was noticeable how things improved last week after a C Mod intervened to give a "Team Warning".
