sandeep Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 This is a free forum, don't fling feces here. All of you are literate, and above a certain minimum age, and know exactly what is acceptable and what is not. Nobody has time to police the content so practice self-filtering. When trash is found, the ****-flinger will be held accountable. Trichromatic, speedheat, velu and 7 others 3 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I temp-banned that Franco joker for a week. There was some other dude spouting ethnicity based trash in the match thread a few days ago, don't remember the poster, but was a guy who's been on ICF 10+ years - banned him for a couple of days too - only because there was a India game in 2 days, and I felt bad denying a fellow desi fan the chance to post and be part of match threads. Seriously, I mean, I don't want to be doing this, but somebody has to. If that means I become the target for some of the "angry" folks, so be it. beetle, tweaker, Indwin and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a minimum start of with a warning and then ban for a short time. Most of the posters here are good and you dont want to lose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And adding to this - ICF is not a democratic republic or social media made for any type of comment. Freedom to post anything isn't a right here. Site serves specific purpose.

People will always post stuff that is offensive to somebody or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is chit chat made only for posting offensive comments? 99% of content is non-offensive. sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you talk or express you opinion if the other people are in the room with you? If you follow that guideline, I think you will be fine. If there is some topic you could not bring up in front of someone and only in front of your wife or a personal friend, may be you should just not bring it up. Participating in this forum is a privilege granted to us, it is not a right. Indwin and sandeep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A separate section for politics and religious discussion. But it effectively kills discussion in these two categories. It's as good as banning politics and religous discussion completely.

There is a lot of minority bashing, Pak bashing, transphobic and conspiracy theory. Whether it is deserved or not, is another matter, but these are there.

Only thing is that we don't inform reporters. Also it may take a day or two, but if anyone is expecting instant action, then that's unfair expectation. sandeep and Clarke 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
