Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Good initiative,. 

But the main issue is posters opening new accounts - it's hard to control that though and I don't think you should bother trying.  The community will call this out when necessary - most long term posters have a distinctive style.

I am aware of a number of posters doing this and I let them know privately that this is not acceptable particularly when then alt accounts are used to snipe.

This is a separate issue to the Change of Display Name one.

The system defaults to 3 name changes a month which is far too many.

I recently changed it to 1 per year for regular members.

I may revert to this if this experiment is too much of a hassle.

I always thought that everyone could go into anyones profile and see the name changes but apparently this is only for admins and not even mods can see this and the setting is not changeable.

I made this change for that reason.

I believe we can all see which existing posters have changed their usernames. I just tested it out on a poster by going into their profile and clicking the below symbol which is next to their name.

Yeah. That's what I get. When I was testing it out with @Grapeviney we couldn't see that on his mobile.

Are you using a PC or mobile to do that?

I have to find where that setting is because Mods definitely do not have that option and should.

Found it. Mods can now view Display Name history.

Members can also view this by clicking on the rewind clock symbol next to a users name in their profile.

I saw that too. I'm assuming it dates back to the creation of the new forum software in 2005 which Nasher set up or I'm really Nasher.

Enter the dragon did not have the rewind symbol. Is it safe to assume then there has not been a name change and that if there is no rewind symbol there hasn't been a name change?

If there is no rewind symbol that user has not changed names under that account. That does not preclude a user from having a separate account.

I will remind users that it is against forum rules to have multiple accounts. In the past we haven't always policed this rule but if you are using another account to take potshots at others then we will act if found out. Also don't take pot shots at others whether using another account or not.

I'd also like to recommend that users avoid using avatars that other long time users have as their profile pic.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
