This goes out to all Demonland members, new and old.

We've had an influx of new members in the last few months, a great endorsement to our ever-growing site.

Unfortunately, some of the behaviour recently has been unacceptable, both from the new posters, and the older posters who should know better.

It is intimidating to come into a forum where many posters know one another and are familiar with the general opinions and expectations.

We would like to make everyone feel welcomed, even if their opinions do not always match ours. We embrace and thrive on lively discussion, and yes, disagreements, but there is a way to disagree and a way to cause problems.

We do not, under any circumstances, accept personal remarks made about or to individuals, be it name-calling, put-downs, or just general nastiness. This is how Demonland has operated for a very long time, and this is how it will continue to operate.

Senior posters need to lead the way and not get sucked into petty arguments. Nobody here is above the Code of Conduct. You break the rules, you get a warning. If you don't take the warning on board, you will be suspended. There are no ifs or buts about it.

And on a similar note, please take into account that all moderators are individual posters first. They are entitled to express their opinion, and there should not be an expectation from them to sit on the fence and watch. As moderators it is their job to ensure that the standard of discussion on Demonland remains high. That means that they are accountable for what they say, in the same way everyone is accountable for what they say. If you think a moderator has broken the rules, please report their post. They will be dealt with in the same manner any other poster would be dealt with, in private.

Finally, to all new posters, some words of advice:

- - Familiarise yourself with our Code of Conduct (found at the top of every forum)

- - Put forward your argument in a rational, civilised manner. Having facts to back up your argument helps greatly.

- - Take some care and delete unnecessary quotes when replying to a post.

- - Do not assume that you know the general opinions of other members. If you want to know something, ask. Don’t attack.

- - And finally, it is not what you say, but how you say it. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and everyone is entitled to be treated with a level of respect. If we don’t have a basic level of respect for one another, we cannot co-exist in this environment.

We hope everyone takes this on board and continues to visit Demonland and enjoys discussing the greatest football club in the world.

Go Dees!

 
 

Well done! I just want to take the time to thank you for moderating and making this site what it is! You lot do attract the odd complaint but it is reassuring to know that you put your foot down when it counts so THANKS!!!!

Sorry to be dumb here but what exactly has bwell done? I have just finished reading a few of his posts and they all seem to be harmless enough. Not defending him, just asking.

[mod edit: please do not quote whole posts if they are long. It clutters up the thread. Thanks]


Smart move in my opinion.

People shouldn't get away with coming on and attacking regular posters, calling them 'retarded' and what not.

Good job mods :)

Great post by Rogue too.

I hadn't seen it until tonight and it really sums it up perfectly.

i look forward to guessing which new poster on demonland is 'bwell' mascarading under a new name.

good job barring him. im sick of reading petty arguments that have nothing to do with MFC and it has happened to often recently

I think the site administrators can track people listing and posting under two aliases.

That's correct.

We've got access to IP addresses, so it's not hard discovering people who post under aliases.

We're coming up to probably the busiest time of the year in terms of online traffic. With the impending selection of a new coach, delisting, drafting and of course trade week, it's important everyone remembers to take a deep breath and count to 10 before unleashing their opinions.

If everyone behaves, we'll get to enjoy some of our finer posters coming out of hiding during this time, especially during trade week (chilliboy is the highlight!) ;)

His posts that are offensive have been deleted Bobby.

Theres been a few "seniors" getting away with it for years.

(Bwell did earn a rep very quickly)

Bout time.

Keep it real.

chilliboy!! yuk. that guy drives me nuts! plz that guy has to seriously go. makesup to many [censored] and sucks people in to believing them.


.....or am i a dumbass?

Yep.....

Thanks for all the work you admins and mods do in making sure demonland is kept to a high standard. Very good post and points finks.

PS. Thanks for the link Rogue, very helpful

Another great post from Rogue......

I am glad that multiple threads will no longer have a tendency to descend into chaos :wacko: !!!

But, for what it's worth, I have to say that after having a relatively mild disagreement a couple of days ago, bWell sent me a personal comment to apologise if their posts and opinions had been insulting. It obviously didn't change the continued public attitude, but it was nice to receive nonetheless.

But if you read some of his posts he is nice and agrees with you and then the next post he has abused you!

Glad to see him gone,

hey dazzle i love chilliboy, i find him entertaining in a somewhat usually dreary time.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
