Emotions are running high - reminder of OVF rules

[robf]

I've had to delete the odd message threatening violence.

 

I know things are pretty tense right now but can I ask you all to refrain from bypassing the swear filter, making threats of violence, personal abuse and so on. You are on this site because you agree to our Ts and Cs so please follow them!

 

In other words, take a deep breath before you post and attack the argument not the poster.

 

Admin will delete the entire thread if there is any rule-breaking on it so if you break the rules, you ruin it for everyone else...

Can we put a temporary ban on Stoke fans Rob?

Seconded

No ban on our 'regular' Stoke fans please, they often make more sense than a small number of our own fans. People like Tunstallpotter and Werrington have views that are welcome, and their banter can't be a bad thing at this sad time.

However, if any silly purely abusive fans of any other club come on and laugh at us, that would be different, but surely bans should be on an individual basis not a club-related blanket ban.

Sticking up for Stoke fans and slagging off fellow Vale fans, on a day like today! It begs belief!

I treat everyone the same regardless of what club they support.

 

Because of heavy traffic it is highly unlikely we will not be approving any new registrations right now and those fans from other clubs who are already onboard are not likely to on the wind-up.

 

Therefore, don't expect an influx of fans of other clubs to come on here gloating...

 

I also think we need all the support we can get right now - both from Vale and other clubs.

I know, I'm just a bit wound up at the moment. Sorry Rob.

Yes, it's difficult times. I'm struggling a bit here too. Let's just hope we get through it for everyone's sake.

just wondering if emotions are running high why has one of the moderators made a threat of violence ( yes I can tell its a joke and no I dont a problem with bede ) on the directors now thread and a moderator here is telling us about the rules ?

[robf]

That post has been deleted by me. Rob

Bit of an overreaction to some criticism about the forum format Rob.
