Censorship of posts criticizing Cameron Schwab


Range Rover

Recommended Posts

I'd like to ask the administrators and moderators of the site why posts questioning the performance of Cameron Schwab are being routinely deleted from threads, particularly the 'New Sponsors' thread?

Is this a democratic forum where one can freely and respectfully opine, or a mouthpiece where only certain views are allowed?

Sad if the latter, as appears to be the case.

Democratic forum?

We may pay money to remove the ads, RR, but Andy is the one who is held responsible for our BS.

Held responsible? By whom and for what?

I can understand deleting trash talk or anything legally sensitive, but posts assessing the performance of those who run OUR club? How sensitive do you want to get?

I'm too lazy to blog.

It seems a bit odd to me that we would go hell for leather after under-performing players but would be so precious and concerned about unfair or ill-considered comments regarding the management. Surely if we're demanding that the players toughen up, we would expect the execs to set a good example??

Schwab deserves scrutiny, doesn't mean the owners of this site have to allow it here.

Get a blog.

Nobody owns it- like our club. All opinions on here should be delivered with some sort of respect .Or at least humour .Unless you are responding to a moderator.(joke sweeties). Schwab seems to be doing really well though .Look where we were for proof.

Can't imagine you will get a response to this .... I've asked for tapatalk registration of his forum and got donuts.

Why should we give over our IP to this tapatalk guy-screw him .

Didn't read this and didn't know it was true-do not agree with deleting anything really-it's a slippery slope .

Range Rover,

I have not read nor deleted your posts criticising Cam Schwab but the one of the owners/administrators/ other moderators have viewed your posts and deemed them unacceptable. While we live in a democracy, such freedom comes with certain rules and obligations.

If you are going to criticise a player/ MFC official you want to make sure its firstly constructive and secondly does not breach the Code of Conduct.

FWIW, posters that do not comply with this put the site owners at risk of legal action for slander. In addition the site owners have also stressed these standards and its their site.

From time to time, the owners and appointed assistants have deleted threads that have breach these standards. In the worst cases, offending posters have either been warned, suspended and then banned. There have been past instances where the deleted comments made have either embarassed the site owners or put them at risk of potential litigation. I am not inferring your posts were at that standard. However you need to understand the owners intent.

If in future you have further concerns I suggest you use the Report button located in the bottom right hand corner.

Otherwise I suggest you get over your laziness and get a blog. I would also recommend you stop using the forums to rail against censorship. Once again this has been the subject of specific owner request.

Matter closed. Thread is locked.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
