Rules

1/ Communist - far leftist thought is not encouraged on these forums. Fascist - far right opinions are also forbidden. We understand that most mainstream media tends to lean to the left and this rule may seem extreme for the budding communists/ leftists. However it is our experience that angry communists are more trouble than they are worth on these types of forums. Anyone with obvious far left signs - accusing members of being fascists for thinking borders may have their merits, race baiting etc - this type of nonsense will not be tolerated. Accusing members of racism for being centrists, republicans or conservatives etc.. This will also not be tolerated
and mods have discretion in all matters. Left wing apologising for right-wing Turkish state sponsored propaganda, Chinese communist propaganda or any other authoritarian propaganda will not be tolerated.

2/ Club trolls - Greece is in a fairly unique position that most the big clubs have their share of corruption or historical corruption - so throwing stones in glass houses is not encouraged. If a member joins hoping to troll other clubs - more than discussing their own - they will not last. There have been a few forums in the past that temporarily shielded these types under the flag of 'free speech.' However in our experience - it is more trouble than it is worth. Love your club more than you hate someone else's and there will be no problem. The forum has no problem with differing opinions, however, posters who accuse other posters of nonsense and embark on a jihad against a rival club - this will not be tolerated and mods have discretion in all matters.

3/ Hawkers will not be tolerated either.

4/ Civility.
There is no safe forum to insult others from - meaning - you can't insult with anonymity from the safety of your home team's forum like past sites allowed and expect to be protected by the mod. Any insult against any member - anywhere - is not tolerated. This forum is not a pseudo-hooligan hang out. 'Fuck the Vazelos shithead' - 'Fuck the Gavroi!' 'I hope their fans were beaten well and severely fucked up after the game.' 'He deserved to get stabbed for that decision.' Nonsense like this will not be tolerated. We have seen countless forums crash and burn because this behaviour has been passively tolerated and then it snowballed into all out war. Also those who think they are smart and not actually insulting anyone in the strict sense.. such as: 'Then you clearly don't know shit..and have no brain..' It is still insulting I am afraid. There is no need for it. One should remember there are not millions of single women monitoring these boards - eagerly searching for the biggest alfa male keyboard warrior to potentially date. How you speak to other forum members here - is how you would speak to someone you met in a cafe or another civilised place. Polite and with a code of understanding, non-abuse and good will. If you take pleasure in insulting others or feel it is your right.. your time here will end very fast.


5/ 3rd, 4th and 5th chances will not be tolerated. Once someone has pinned their agenda to the mast - an agenda that breaks any of the previous rules- they will be out. We wont be playing this game: 'Oh I was on an 80% warning, but I think it should be 60% because XYZ..' Members wont be allowed to get this stage. You get a warning if we feel you are out of bounds as described above. Do it again and you are gone. This site therefore is one of self control. Championing a formerly banned member in an attempt to undermine the forum will not be tolerated either. We rate football and the conversation of football above a man or woman's innate need to insult another forum member.

6/ You will not post any material which is false, defamatory, promote any communist/far left or far right material, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy or adult material or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.

Guidelines:


The rules and general philosophy can be summed up by a simple saying: Play the ball and not the man.
