Whilst I have been called into line once, I don't pretend to ignore the fact that because we are as such 'faceless' we should act without a certain amount of manners on any message board, but in particular, foot.ie.

Foot.ie is a community, essentially for eL supporters, it has made provision to discuss General Soccer, Irish Soccer and Off-Topic. Through its Support forum, Adam has given us a say in what happens with foot.ie. He pays for the vB and the domain name as well as the webspace and at the end of the day, what he says goes.

Some things have been lost on the idea that this is a community for all to use. (not abuse) and to this end I think a serious re-check be taken to ensure it doesn't go down the road of the eL message board.

Places such as Boards.ie would not allow some of the flaming that occurs here... It seems that if someones point of view does not go down well, it's flamed...

Posters have appeared here and made opinions that do not concur with some general views. Two posts have really highlighted my need for this rant.

Iarmhibhoy - Anti Celtic?? (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6844&perpage=10&pagenumber=3)
hooper - Lads please (http://foot.ie/t6506.htm)
[/list=1]

Both were reasonable posts, polite and non-abusive, but the replys were not...

time to stamp-out the misbehaving. Clean the mess up and save all your typing sores for Football/Music/General Football banter, fun and slagging that we are here for, and not the mindless abusive stuff that get's in the way...
