The MFC Board Election

[Demonland 72,576]

Demonland, in conjunction with the Moderating Team, has decided not to allow discussions about the upcoming Melbourne Football Club board elections on this website.

Over time, we've observed that conversations surrounding board elections tend to become intensely polarized, often leading to disagreements that disrupt the harmony of our community. While we appreciate that many members have strong opinions about the governance of our beloved club, these debates can easily overshadow the primary purpose of Demonland: to share our passion for the footy and the Melbourne Demons.

Our volunteer moderators work part-time and are dedicated to keeping Demonland a welcoming and engaging space for everyone. However, due to limited time and resources, we are unable to effectively monitor and moderate the intense discussions that board election topics can generate.

In the interest of maintaining a positive atmosphere, any posts or threads about the elections will be removed. We thank you all for your cooperation and understanding in supporting this decision.

Let’s keep our focus where it belongs—on the footy. Here’s hoping the Demons can climb back up the ladder in 2025 and contend for the top once more. Go Dees!

A reminder:

Members are kindly reminded not to derail footy threads with discussions about the MFC Election. This topic has been explicitly prohibited on this forum due to the significant discord it has historically caused among members.

Any further violations particularly by the usual suspects will lead to an immediate and permanent ban from the forum.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation in ensuring that discussions remain constructive and focused on the topics at hand.

You may be aware that the elections for four vacancies on the Melbourne Football Club Board are now open and we urge all members to acquaint themselves with the candidates and their policies and exercise your right to vote by Sunday 15 December 2024. There are some very highly qualified candidates - please choose wisely.

I personally would have liked to open this site for more debate on the candidates but the rules present further electioneering and our experience on previous occasions has been that opening the site for discussion places too much pressure on our capacity to moderate discussion and fact check the volume of postings to ensure fairness to the candidates.

Please view the following and good luck to all candidates -
