Kopites masquerading as blues

[onlyme]

Seriously this site is infested with rs pretending to be blues. No problem with them coming here and wearing their colours on their snot ridden sleeves but....

Come on mods once upon a time such delinquents were immediately banned.
May I ask why this policy has changed?
I've previously had a 2 day ban for protesting about this, so fair enough if you wish to ban me again, I'll except it, but this is supposed to be an Everton forum.

So keep the kopites or ban an Evertonian STH for 50 + years......
Your choice, there are many other Evertonian forums.
This isn't an ultimatum by the way, just a frustrated GOT member.

That @Bruce Wayne has always been a bit dodgy.....just saying....

Hmm nowhere near as many as you’d think. Just because you decide someone is a kopite doesn’t make it so. There will naturally be some that dodge the radar. We can’t be online 24/7. Some of us have jobs and children and semi-legal pastimes to attend to.

Correct, same as us, and this goes for any clubs’ fans.

It hasn’t. Clear and obvious wind ups are permanently banned. Again, simply because you decide someone is a kopite doesn’t make it so. In actual fact, when we get a report that a member may be an undercover red, we investigate it and nine times out of ten they’re seriously miserable blues. The kind that make Davek look cheery.

Yeah ok see ya then bye lad.

fair enough if you wish to ban me again

Not really to be honest.

lol lol lol lol as if we’d take any notice of an ultimatum.

Most "RS" are not.

Boils down to this.

With what that he's not a rs or that he's a ballbag.

I don’t think he is an RS.

I do think he’s very strange and he probably doesn’t get invited to too many social occasions.

Ye ballbag it is then.

 

[Bigjoe]

I don’t care about Kopites, All I care about is Everton.

 

[peteblue]

Look, all you RS out there, we quite like you posting, just be a bit more open. This isn’t RAWK , our mods, apart from the two RS are quite good. So liberate yourselves, be own and honest, you’ll have a much better time ......

There is also an awful lot of bizarre paranoia about undercover reds.

Some people need to learn that it is possible for people to have different opinions without being secret Liverpool supporters.

This, really.

Vast majority of kopite shouts are well wide of the mark.

There's a report function. We look at all reports. We won't ban members on a whim, or a hunch.

The last report we had, from two members, I googled the members email address and he was clearly a blue.

Our approach has always been same same since 2007, the only difference at the moment is blues having nervous breakdowns because they're about to piss the league.

Its getting boring seeing it in nearly every thread tbf even if they are a kopite they'll more than likely bide their time until the leagues done and then reveal themselves

Patronising response 'lad'!!!!

 

[Catfish Blues]

If any posters turn out to be Liverpool supporters I hope, when challenged, that they respond with the phrase "It's a fair Kop".

No I think you’ll find it entirely factual, “lad”.

Your already do more than our own intelligence services do with terrorists.

Liking the use of quotation marks for lad in this thread. Lovely Sunday reading.

Get a grip Paul - you're having a nervous breakdown because we won't ban @havrey0123...

As with every report, I reviewed his IP, his referral websites, his email address and his posting history - pretty substantial given he's been here for over 10 years. Although I found him very odd, as i do with @davek and plenty of others on here - there was nothing to say he was a kopite WUM. As much as I and other mods would like to readily ban people who are odd, we can't. If you consider the bigger picture you should appreciate that moderating stance - forums with mods who ban on a whim aren't good.

For clarity - you received your 2 day suspension because of these two warnings from two different moderators;




You keep asking what has changed - nothing, here are our rules from day one;

https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/forum-rules.11181/

Note these in particular;

'Playing The Ref'

Attempting to moderate the forum by stating what should, and shouldn't be discussed or attempts to get another user banned by posting things such as "abuse! ban him!" is totally unacceptable, and will not be tolerated on this forum. This is basically the internet equivalent of a footballer waving the imaginary yellow card at a referee, and is completely unhelpful. If you see a post that you believe is in violation of the forum's Rules and Guidelines or Terms of Service, it would be highly appreciated if you could use the "Report to Moderator" function to bring it to our attention.

"Report to Moderator" Function
This forum has a "Report to Moderator" function built into its software (located directly beneath all posts). The purpose of this function is to aid moderators in their duties. As you can imagine, it's not easy (nor plausible) for a small team of people to read every last post in every last thread on the forum, so this is where we need your help. If you see a post that you believe is in violation of the forum's Rules and Guidelines or Terms of Service, it would be highly appreciated if you could use the "Report to Moderator" function to bring it to our attention.

If you don't agree, sound. ToffeeTalk and NSNO are good forums. Spend your time there.

Lads, let’s not have blues against blues, let’s just accept the there are RS on here, hiding in the shadows because they don't feel they would be welcome. They are.....we should encourage them.....
