When you start losing sleep over things, you know it's not worth it.
There is a small clique that are keen to undermine the integrity of RWO, by playing their silly games. Reincarnations of their previous selves. You know who you are. I could ban their arse. but that would be what they wanted so they can bitch and moan about RWO with their little cliquey group.
It's September. It's Finals. Where in the Top 4. I got my GF letter yesterday.
And I should be excited!!!
ATM I couldn't give a flying @@@@.
I know some of you think this is a kindergarten, but most of us like the way it is run.
I feel like a Miss World Contestant, all I want is World Peace.
Why can't everyone get along?
Why do you not like this person or the next? Grow up. We're all adults. Well most of us.
This place has a wide variety of ages, ideals and views. This is not a bad thing.
Being a Pain in the @@@@ing arse is.
Some people on here annoy me, too. You can put them on ignore. I can't.
Too many good posters have left after being badgered endlessly.
It's not me or the mod team that make the site. It's the quality of the posts and posters.
Some people have better memories than others. This does not make them any better or worse than the others.
The best way to resolve many issues is to do it yourself, rather than asking us to do it.
PM the person involved. It's not that hard.
I've had many rants this year.
I've had a bad year personally.
Stick to talking footy. Don't attack people because you can and think it's fun.
And some of you HTFU (Thanks passing that on yesterday).
Well you've got what you wanted. Happy?
I've spent 6 years working my arse off on this place. All for nothing it seems.
Watch the PM's fly now.Comment

177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

Hey Scott, you are appreciated more than you think.Comment

+1. As a long term contributor I know what you mean Scott but many appreciate what you and RWO provide.
But why does it always have to be a battle to keep it clean? I even remember the bad old days of Footyhead - perhaps the best troll I've ever seen. But I also remember fierce (but honourable) arguments with Nick. Arguing is good - but points scoring and denigration is bad. Sorry you have to be in the middle. I hope you maintain it, for the sake of many of us.Comment

I'm another one firmly in your camp Scott. I must admit that, beyond one or two who play the man and not the ball at times, most people seem pretty good. Obviously I have no idea what happens behind the scenes though, nor do I know who is sending PMs to who, or who is reregistering under another name.
I love the site, I come here often (as it were) and read most threads while posting occasionally, and have been doing so for 9 years. I tweet with a couple of folks who post here (always happy for more Swans tweeters btw), and it all seems fine. It'd be a shame if a minority, and it always is, drove you off. It's your decision though and I respect it.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

I turn my back for five minutes and it all falls apart.
If whoever is giving Scott the @@@@s can kindly go elsewhere....Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Don't go anywhere Scott, you're a rock!Comment

For those who haven't worked it out, here's how RWO works: Scott runs it, we play in it. Don't p*** him off unless you want to feel the wrath of the rest of us.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Hope you stay Scott, also hope that people would grow up and learn to fight their own battles. Stop all the whinging to Scott it would no doubt make his life easier.Comment

- 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.
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.
