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 issues
a) 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.

See also: ---> RACIAL DISCRIMINATION ACT 1975 - SECT 18C

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.

15) Guidelines regarding Visitors to RWO for RWO members.

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.

Ronnie's comment on Marngrook - Jude retiring?

13 August 2009, 10:31 PM

BIGBEZ on that other filthy football site mentioned that Ronnie Burns said this on the Marngrook show. Surely not true? Only turned 29 this year and probably having his best season.

I saw it and he spoke about both Jude and luke ablett as if they were in the same situation , saying that both werent playing well and both maybe due to retire soon.

I would have been filthy being lumped in with ablett considering Judes excellent year and lukes not so excellent year.

For once I thought the analysis on fox footy teams of the swans had some good thought behind it while on marngrook , ronny burns was talking out his you know what.

An avid fan will know that Ronnie always talks out of his arse!!

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Watched it too before Teams. They were interesting comments but Jude is running hot while Ablett is not setting the world on fire

Am I the only one who thinks Ablett played well on Sunday? OK, he didnt set the world on fire, but certainly wasn't our worst player out there. In fact I think his last 3 weeks have been a hell of an improvement on the last 2 seasons.

Too much too little too late. I think he now realises that the swans have bought a guillotine on ebay.

I've probably been the hardest on Ablett and a lot of it, in my humble opinion on what makes an good player "good" (not elite), has been pretty much warranted.

He has got a BOOMING kick - but only if he's on the run. Unfortunately, that kick isn't very accurate and IMO, in what I think is 90% of the cases (I haven't used a calculator or looked up any significant stats) the ball is normally handed over in some way or form every time he touches it. Maybe a jinx - who knows??

Also, I think he's still suffering from the after shocks of dengue fever. I looked it up on the net before I went to FNQ (just in case), and it's a bitch of a thing to get over.

Could not agree more. I've been a critic but his last month (the Melbourne game aside) has been quite good.

Going by What Roos said in the live chat transcript from yesterday, Forward is where Ablett will most likely stay from now on.

It's a fair indictment though on how you're going when you manage to put in an "average" game that draws compliments against a team you smashed by 10 goals and was terrible.

Still @@@@ IMO and should not be getting a game ahead of half a dozen players in the magoos. And if he's going to play as a fwd, he better start kicking some of those goals that he keeps on missing.

They were pretty enthusiastic about our list going forward and special mention was made of Hannebery, Odwyer and a few others. They must have been watching the last few games as the people they commented on reflected the form shown in those two games. BUT at least they knew the names. Hannebery is making a big impression it seems with a lot of people (my self included).

Spoke to Luke at the Legends Ball asked him about the fever, said that was OK but his shoulder was crook and taking a long time to come right.
