RWO is not negative...
Ooops, help me, I'm stuck in a logical paradox!He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie. -
To be fair it's been a pretty @@@@ week.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

I'm surprised people are still angry & upset at the way we played today. We looked ragged & weren't good enough, pure & simple.
I'm not really even that upset. Rather fatalistic that with the amount of old slow players still playing regularly in the side the sun is setting on the team. Given we have a salary cap AND draft, things are going to be cyclical. Just how good we are recruiting & drafting-wise will see how long our rebuilding will be.

As usual the effort was there from the team as a whole and you can't slag them off for that.
Really starting to show that we lack pace across the 22, but that will come next year when a number of youngsters will be introduced into the team.
As long as the effort remains, you can't be upset.

Just out of interest, I thought I'd do a quick search to highlight that "one man's thoughtful discussion is another man's negativity"- please don't take this as a swipe at you, DA; it's purely to show that perhaps people start threads to start discussion, and should not simply then be viewed as solely negative.
Perhaps, at times, people (and this is most definitely not just you, DA) take things too seriously.
The proposal: offered by DeadlyAkkuret- ROK_lobster starts negative threads
My theory: "one man's thoughtful discussion is another man's negativity"- I'm sure we can see something that could be perceived as negative being posted by most people at some point, including threads that they have started.
The quick test of the theory: search back for 5 threads started by another poster to see if the intention of any of the threads can be viewed as negative. I've decided to search on threads started by DeadlyAkkuret.
Keep in mind that by "negative thread" here, I am simply refering to a thread that could be viewed as negative in its intent by some posters.

I just watched a replay of the game. If you think things are negative now I can't wait to see the excitement when we have three years of being thumped whilst playing all these youngsters who RWO have been crying for.Comment

Gold Cardinal.
I have had my fair share of negativity and will probably continue with this for a bit, but things do change.
Me wanting to put Cheese under the grill and turn it up high have been put on the backburner (oh dear), he has improved markedly, even tackling, yes he did, I saw him.
And Reg didn't annoy me this game. Or the last one come to think of it. It is very disconcerting. I am having to change my mind at a rate far too rapid for me.
I do believe I even gave Ted the Bear a cheer too.
OK, its a rebuilding phase, and its going to be awful without the usual suspects, but its what happens. But we have already gone through the no Kell, Plugger, Dunks, Shaubs, Willo, Cressa, Schwatta phase and survived. That is why I make the effort to come to the ressies games, it gives me a fair idea of where we are heading and how the kids improve each week. Got a few tasty little treats in store.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

The Bombers game day thread is a great example of the negative nancy syndrome that infects RWO.Comment

It all depends how you see it, as Stellation has said.
Negative or realistic....Optimistic or dellusional ...Or is it just a bit of fun stirring the ants nest?Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.

Be nice, not all visitors are trolls.a) If they annoy you, ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one.
b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
