Question for the mods.

What do you actually do, it's seems over the last week there's hardly been one thread without someone telling someone else to **** off. I know tempers have been running hot but is there really any need to reduce every thead down to this level. People need to play nice and get back to well thought out exchanges of option.

Work quite a lot, go fishing, go to the gym, socialise, try to find time to see my old mum, walk my dogs, get on with life  and then try to read some stuff on here.....

There is always the report button, it's not a Sunday school forum, by its nature football will cause heated passionate debate, which given the cross section of people on here will occasionally spill over into insults.  We have tried in the past clamping down and being stricter, that wasn't popular - we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.  I think most posters understand and have thick enough skins, I guess a modern little snowflake wouldn't last too long on here, maybe we could set up a safe space........

A term I picked up from an interesting article last week in the Times.  About how students are stifling debate at university by banning speakers who are controversial.  They also have safe spaces.... safe spaces FFS, my Grandparents were fighting in wars at their ages!   They seem to be basically defeating the whole idea of university developing debating skills and creating an opposing argument to counter others opinions.

Yep and we sadly can't be expected to read every single post on here, so if you see something abusive, report it and then we all get notified so we can investigate

Maybe they should have brought their "safe space" with them for the uni rugby match at AG,the little darlings..

You do realise we are all unpaid volunteers who have lives, work and families that take our time away from here don't you? As the other mods have said you can always use the report button to alert us to anything we don't see. We do have a swear filter which does remove most stuff which might not be suitable for younger eyes or people who don't wish to read such stuff.

But it seems you are complaining about the *****? My personal advice would be to develop a backbone, it's going to be a tough life for you if you are offended by a few asterisks

Not much wrong with my backbone thank you, I thought it was attack the post not the poster but if it's a free for all I can do that to.

It's not. Just as I said, we can't be expected to read everything. Report abusive posts if you see them please.

Did i read somewhere about a university wanting to remove the terms men and women from debating as it was 'too gender specific'..?!
