I am starting Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund.

Celtic was great.

Fair enough, I'm just taking recent events (the bum photo thread) into consideration.

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't actually think the creepshots thread was planned. I think it was just that none of the mods (including me) looked at it, it became awful, and bish took a lawnmower to the thread because of how awful it had gotten. And presumably he made a spectacle of it because he wanted people to know it had happened. It's not a regular thing.

PSV was fantastic today. I don't care Napoli played with a mix of their A/B team players but it was really incredible (at times) to see. Napoli got frustrated at the end. Two of those could have been red as well. :p

Not happy with Twente result. That was terrible. Not expecting much this season from us in Europe sadly.

Moderation on Gaf is getting ridiculous. Wishing death, rape, brutal beatings on a convicted male criminal? No problem. But a female criminal? Banned.

Absolutely no consistency. The sensitivity around this place is really intolerable sometimes. You can't skirt the line when it comes to male/female issues – unless you're just trying to get other people to speak up and say something stupid that gets them banned.
 
If there's any possibility that something you say will be found offensive by someone on the board you'll get banned for it. Those are basically the rules now.

If I wasn't such a natural born risk taker then I wouldn't ever venture outside of this thread.
 
ah I just found out her name is ruth wilson. Pretty hot actually but she just looks like manuel neuer's twin sister as pointed out by some dude in the saudi female driver thread.

:lol

I have to reiterate, what a weird looking girl!

Edit: MPW, but didn't you hear he's leaving? Ok so this guy's friend knows this guy who heard from his aunt's sister that Benzema and Mou had an argument about who looked the best in a vest so Benz said if Mou doesn't admit he's the best looking he's leaving. But mou said no. So Benz cried and said he's leaving in January.

Ahem. apparently.
 
Thinking about Liverpool's porous D.

The Squirtle is dumb. He's just a dumb man when it comes to the game.

Carragher is slow, and his feet are like sledgehammers. He lacks touch, pace and nuance.

Johnson is really a winger. And he's a better winger than the winger Downing.

Agger is weak. A man with a lot of mean looking tats, but weak.

Coates is young, too early to tell.

Enrique.

Reina is busted. He and Squirtle conspired to turn Liverpool's 5-0 drubbing of Norwich into a far less sexy 5-2 drubbing.

Any proof of this? Because when I last saw it wishing death on anyone = ban, wishing rape on anyone = ban etc... gender didn't matter. Just more sensitive on the female gender as there are a few that love to make female sexual jokes etc... whereas that doesn't happen with the male gender and as a result of that when it comes to the female gender there is very little tolerance.

Astute analysis. Absolutely spot on.

Actually, those posts were just missed before. You'll find that they were moderated after they were pointed out. We aren't up to anything nefarious when something like that happens or employing some sort of double standard where these things are okay when people advocate them towards men and not okay when advocated towards women. I know we miss things, sometimes, but there's no reason to instantly interpret it in a negative way.

There's a huge double standard over gender/race. It's plain stupid.

I don't mind the moderation. I do think some bans are way harsh, and there's a bit of double standards.

I just wish we could say 'cunt' again.

BTW Mumei, if wishing death on criminals is bannable then a bit of extrapolating would tell us that supporters of the death penalty should be banned too. Slippery slope, IMO.

It's not.

Those were for advocating violent vigilantism (either rape or murder) in response to a crime (or some other offense; it usually happens to be in the context of a crime); believing in the death penalty as administered by the state isn't something I personally agree with but neither is it something that you could be banned for.

Honestly guys, this pushing the limits of what is and isnt bannable is just silly.

GAF's rules are pretty obvious, dont post things that most gaffers will find offensive or that you have been told will get ya banned.

There isnt going to be a perfect set of rules because there isnt a perfect set of laws that govern any human behaviour.

Please go back and edit your posts, I would hate to lose some footygaffers for a period of time just because of this daft moth to flame syndrome some of ya'll have.

Now is the perfect time to get banned though since the international break is coming up!
 
I have been using the JT word a lot in the GAF mumble when playing FIFA Clubs with the PC lot to get it out of my system. Seems to have worked so far, still not been banned!

Not for me! We only have 1 game and I'm worried Falcao wont play. It should be ok it's in Barranquilla against the worst team in south america (best guay) and we can release the Jackson.

seeing Ibra's team get styled on by Porto was awesome.

I might lose my shit if Barca loses on sunday tho

--man that chinese automated masturbator thread is gold

Wishing for institutionalized murder is a ok but wishing for vigilante murder is wrong. Gotcha.

I'm just being facetious. I love arguing semantics and being a contrarian

Please, we all know the real reason. You can't afford to get banned or Hitcher will run away with the #1 spot on the Wall of Shame.

Yeah I agree here.

I don't think "posting offensive things" or "offending other members" should be bannable and I don't think they are. It's just some specific double standards seem to exist.

I am not trying to get a response from you specifically since I know you post here (and you've always been kind enough to explain things in the past) – in fact I hate talking openly about moderation as I feel it's just an issue that should be handled at the top and its not member territory to decide.

Still, I have to vent frustration when I realize I am deleting posts (innocuous ones) simply because I have no idea whether it'll be deemed misogynist or whatever and get banned. It really is a minefield, especially in OT!

I'm on the west coast. I'll be up longer. Gimme your login info and I'll maintain your lead for you. Or, you'll get banned. It's a risk worth taking, methinks.

I might die on Sunday so who knows. Hitcher seems level headed I doubt he gets banned. Was hoping that epic Liverpool choke today would get to him but no

Imagine if "Lolerpool" got banned. It would be the end of days.
