Thank you Demonland

[Jaded No More 68,913]

Just to be clear, Andy aka @Demonland doesn’t owe anyone anything. He pays to run this site so that sad MFCSS suffering losers (like me 😂), can spend too long chatting about irrelevant things relating to our football club. 

He has a job and a family and a life outside of this forum, as do the rest of the volunteers who run this site (shocking I know!), and he shouldn’t have to take any risks to his livelihood or his personal lives to satisfy the need of busy bodies. 

If you want to discuss rumours, innuendos and highly contentious issues freely, go to BigFooty or better yet start your own discussion board.

I’ll be sure to pop by and write loads of content with the words culture in it.

Totally agree with your statement on Andy.

I wanted to discuss the Interview of Pert and Goodwin. Which of the above does that fit into?

The problem is that some posters are happy to stay in the lane of only what is in the public domain, but many others don't. You've seen it, we've all seen it happen in every one of these threads.

So unless you want to volunteer to monitor every one of these threads  24 hours a day 7 days a week, there is just no other way to prevent these conversations from steering into the wrong lane and getting Andy into trouble.

I would rather not see Demonland have to close down, and I am sure you wouldn't want to see that happen either.

Wow.

Even sadder, I was one of the OGs who migrated from the old platform and was a test user on this site when @Nasher was building it back in the day. 

He of course will deny this, but we are both much older and wiser now 😅

It's not necessarily any of the topics that are off limits it's what they invariably devolve into that can be problematic. It becomes a minefield for moderation, which admittedly might be overly cautious but at the end of the day the moderation is tiresome because you will have a long post from someone which is 98% fine and then do you prune a potentially problematic part out or do you delete the whole post and then you get irate people complaining about being moderated and censored and on and on and on.

Our mods aren't paid and they don't have the time to police every post and I had to make the difficult decision that these topics were not going to be discussed here because I don't want to have to face the consequences because someone wants to vent their frustrations and potentially libel someone or post a rumour that is damaging to the club or player or official.

Wayne I get that you're not happy with the decision and the censorship but I've made my decision. You are not privy to some of the reasons for the decision and I cannot disclose them. I apologise that this has upset you. I hope you can forgive me in time when we celebrate our 14th flag and you can still celebrate it here.

Thank you for that comprehensive response. I can't say I was happy at the time, but that frustration was short lived! I understand the decision you made and I support it.

🇸🇬 another great (and enthusiastically moderated) place. Great and safe places have to have rules that sometimes limit our own freedom of association and action.

I also appreciate @Demonland and fellow mods who are doing their best to keep DL a great place and I’m learning not to take it personally on occasions my posts are binned for the protection and continuity of the community.

Go Dee’s 🏆 ❤️ 💙

I agree with your sentiment demosaw, but it seems as if it's always my best work that gets binned.

Yes thank you Demonland and please restore the NO T$ thread to the footy board.
