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!

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 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!) ;)

I'm 99% confident they're not the same person (checked all the usual signs and came up with no evidence that they are), so Demons 32 stays put as he has not done anything to violate the code of conduct.

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.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
