Hi all.
Lately we have had some concern regarding the hounding of some members due to them being perceived as a kopite, and some blues who are seemingly falling on the wrong side of some established members. Obviously this is not on.
In some cases we have banned some reds as they've been on a wind up. In some cases they've been blues who have a different opinion to the mainstream - this is not reason to hound them out and declare them kopites.
If you have a concern that a member is a red on a wind up, then use the report function and we can look at it and act appropriately. Please do not just start calling them kopites as this derails thread, looks ugly and takes up our time when we could actully be investigating it.
We have also noticed that this hounding is extending to regular and existing members who are blues, who some members simply take a dislike to. We find this extremely unsavoury and downright awful. It is bullying. Please stop it, you are better than that.
We have to be sure that someone is on a wind up before we ban. One member saying "this is deffo a kopite" is not enough evidence to be banned on. Don't forget, we are open to fans of all clubs as long as they play by the rules. We do of course ban reds (or anyone) on a wind up once we are 100% sure so please simply report them if you see it - don't take them on in threads as this is exactly what a WUM wants and you play right into their hands, and takes up even more of our time.
Ultimately though, this pack mentality (toward reds and blues) has to stop - use the report function and we will sort things.
