It amazes me the amount of unrespectful communication on this site towards others. I feel it is some people's mission just to tear apart every thread with no real desire to add something meaningful! P

I usually have you on ignore (what a great little feature of 'land), however I think you need to read again the two sentences you wrote above. Firstly because you spam threads over and over without ad

The thing is..... Demonland is a community. An online community, but a community non the less. If someone in my workplace or group of friends acts like a fool or spouts rubbish to big note themselves

Demoneyes, you spam all the threads on the trading & drafting board, and you appear to post specious information under the pretense of you actually knowing something or having some valuable contacts at the club, despite none of your "inside info" being factually correct.

You come across as a tool.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I have been a critic in the past of the mob mentality I've witnessed here, but either I've become desensitised or it hasn't been happening as often. Most threads actually stay on topic these days and posters seem to be more conscious of not being a dick towards their fellow supporters.

Very often, there is no right and wrong. Sometimes that point gets lost. Ultimately it's about passion which we all have otherwise we wouldn't be here. Everyone expresses that passion differently, and that should never be sacrificed. Just don't be a dick about it

I think being a [censored] usually entails posting the following replies to a post/thread:

1) 'What a stupid thread/waste of time' or 'Nothing to see here.'

2) You clearly have an anti (name club figure) agenda. This can be rephrased as 'you have (multiple) axes to grind'.

3) Not a hugely consistent one but I do notice people dismissing posters out of hand because of their post count. This act of dickery usually comes along with the line 'Who cares what this guy thinks?'

The villains of the 'Land (save one or two) have kept their heads down for the last little bit. I was going to stay away for a while but the mood has lightened since we got Roosy.

This is my gut feeling.

I hope you feel better getting that off your chest! For your info I do not spam every thread on here, on GF day it was about 45 I replied to. Who I know is none of your business, but I am quite comfortable with the contacts I have. It is quite obvious you haven't read all my threads as some have been correct. Someone said on here that i only post stuff on here to big note myself, what an absolute laugh! If you really feel I come on here to get "uplifted" from comments I make by you and others, you are all sadly mistaken! With the high stress job I have, I come on here to de-stress with some light hearted entertainment. As for yourself, the way you re-act and your language says volumes to me about the person you are. Be well!

I am pretty happy with where we are at as a site in terms of politeness and respect.

You struck a nerve on GF day with a great number of posters incl. myself. It's no big deal, we all move on and enjoy the ability to discuss the Demons with other Demons.

HTFU whingers.

Moonie is correct here. You post your opinion - in whatever terms you choose - and you accept the consequences if others don't like them. I'm not saying be thoughtless of others, but FFS, let's not be too precious. If you are on a site which is open to the world then be prepared for a smack now and then.

I bite back if others bait me but I do worry about younger posters on here. WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!

If you are a younger poster, sometimes you would wonder what kind of club you are supporting.

I'm a faithful stalker Moonie - one at a time.

Are you saying that you have a man crush on Moonie?

You know we all should only have a man crush on Roos!

There was a severe reprimand and it has been made clear that if it ever happens again he will be instantly banned. It was juvenile behaviour that wasted mine and other mods time in cleaning it up.

I would like to add that Demonlanders should refer to the code of conduct (http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-code-of-conduct-moderating-guide/) and the thread re: abuse (http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/34199-reminder-on-personal-abuse/). The mods try to clean up and reprimand or ban when warranted when they can but things obviously get missed. You too can police the boards by reporting offending posts using the Report Button.

What about when the personal abuse comes from the mods?

Does the code of conduct apply to them?

Not a comment on HSo'Grinter's post, but when I clicked on his links, I am getting a login dialog that states the following:

"A username and password are being requested by http://generatormeme.com. The site says: "Access Restricted (pwrestrict)"

Anyone else getting that?

No. The links show WJ treating Hazy with no respect.

I see no issue but your own. Move on Hazy. You too Bob.

If you don't like the way things are run you may leave.

But you never answered my question:

Does the code of conduct apply to mods who engage in personal abuse?

And, also my question from the thread where you decided to ban me:

Did Whispering_Jack ever receive a warning for his posts in that thread (in which he accused me of being "sniping, embarrassing, foolish" and having "ulterior motive, zero credibility and a bucket load of gall") and If not, why not?

No. Because it wasn't warranted. Stop being a pest. You don't like it then there's the door. Don't let it hit your arse on the way out.

You and Bob can have a whinge about another mod abusing his powers.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
