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.

I have no doubt that Eddie will be a commissioner before the decade is out. He is already on every subcommittee t there is.

Apologies. Other posters were egging me on.

My original post concerned having Eddie as Chairman of the AFL Commission. Under this arrangement Eddie would see the Northern Clubs and their academy's as valuable against the fight for supremacy with the NRL and Soccer.

He would also be very careful not to be biased towards Collingwood.

I think it time to change the Eddie strategy.

It's time to embrace Eddie and work at making him a friend of the Swans.

We can't beat him, the AFL commission admire him and the Victorian community warm to him.

If we keep attacking him, he will pull the club to pieces.

Adam Goodes and John Longmire need to reach out to him and get him onside. A couple of lunches between now and Christmas should help.

If Adam can forgive Eddie and offer friendship then Eddie may soften towards the Swans.

It's time to do a deal with the devil.

Are you for real?
Pray tell, what mediation are you on?
I'd like to go to my doctor and get some too.

No I'm not. Eddie is killing us and Gillion is not at strong as Andrew D. The Hawks are winning through a friends with Eddie strategy.

The Swans executives have tried to slap Eddie down and it's not working.

Kerry Stokes and James Packer, who have testy history, realised that friendship and trust could benefit both their business interests. They are now hanging out on each other's boats and attacking the market rather than each other.

We can bring Eddie into the tent.

This will save the Academy and help is win premierships.

This is a pragmatic call.

Seriously?
The only way to shut Eddie up is through the Supreme Court.

Please.

Thanks mate. I just want the Red and Community to ask themselves whether the attack Eddie strategy is working?

It's not working in my opinion.

Why don't we change strategy and embrace him. We are already losing the war. What is there to lose from embracing Eddie.

My self respect.
I will not compromise my self respect for anyone.
Especially that tosser Eddie.

No. Really.
You keep repeating yourself over and over in the hope that someone will agree with you.
No one is going to agree with you; and you are being MOST annoying.
The only way we are going to win, is with a handful of QCs in the Victorian Supreme Court.
If things don't work out at the meeting on 15 December, it'll go to court.
As far as I know, we live in Australia and legally, we can't be punished for something we haven't done.
Should we need to go down this path, the Courts will tell the AFL to pull their heads in. Why do think there's been silence from them since this started? They KNOW that they are in the wrong.

My idea for the Swans community to become friends with Eddie was denounced by the Red and White Community so I'm proposing a new concept.

Get Eddie to succeed Mike Fitzpatrick at Chairman of the AFL Commission. The deal would involve Eddie resigning from Collingwood and ceasing all AFL media commitments.

This will make Eddie accountable to all 18 clubs and he would be very careful not to be biased towards Collingwood.

He would realise that Soccer and Rugby League are his new enemies and would ensure that the Northern Clubs are strong to lead the fight. The academy's would be expanded with more resources and more money would be put into AusKick.

This idea would stop Eddie being a biased power broker always using the media and working behind the scenes.

This could work to bring more accountability to Eddie and give him new enemies (NRL) to focus on.

Serious?

Why get the QC's involved when you can easily build a bridge with one individual.

Ask the Dons how the QC?s are going.

If we can get Eddie working for us, the sky is the limit to what the club can achieve.

Thanks Goods78. I'm trying to get my head out of the sand by proposing a raft of new solutions to complex Swans problems.

The attack Eddie campaign makes people feel good, but is not getting the outcomes the Swans need.

Matt80 - I said before your idea of becoming friends with Eddie was whacky, but encouraged more contrary thinking.

This one about him taking over from 'Parked Cars' Fitzpatrick is FAR better, but you forgot to complete your theory.

Which is: Eddie becomes AFL commissioner; proves himself inept and incapable of bias; suffers foot-in-mouth disease on a daily basis; suffers media deprivation twice daily, compounding earlier disease; and eventually needs to resign or gets pushed from the role in complete disgrace; and is banished to the footballing wilderness . . . alone, broke, and broken.

Now THAT is a theory about how to rid ourselves of him.

C'mon man, I want to be on your side, so think through your ideas to their natural end.
