Planet Swans 22:10 - Mar 26 with 28192 viewsPhil_S

So then...forum aside this site has become a little bit of a walking disaster over the last year (and more) as someone pointed out the other day the site rarely gets updated with news since the last writer got fed up of the abuse of doing so..!

Anyway, the good (!) news is that I have a couple of people prepared to write and I have some time that I can devote to it again. What I dont want to happen is the site to become a regurgitation of news elsewhere although news elsewhere can of course create opinion articles.

The question though is what do you - the good readers of Planet Swans (or as seems to be the one person with endless usernames) - want to see from the site going forward?

Seriously Phil you're about 10 years behind with this mentality.

'Don't take it seriously, its just the internet/
/football forum' doesn't wash anymore. You as a owner have a moral obligation to prevent abuse/discrimination etc not just put a page of rules up and then laugh and say they're only guidelines.

Problem is there is a difference between swearing and being abusive.
I can take people swearing all day long . I don't generally use that language but if others feel the need to, they can carry on.
However when someone is rude and abusive to an individual, especially to the extent that he was, then that's a different story and that's what the Mods are there for.
I don't want to put anyone on ignore, as I want to leave the avenue open to comment on any sensible posts they put up.
Likewise I wont tell him to p*** off or whatever as then I'm being as bad as he was.
All of us should be able to come on here and freely express our views (within reason) without others being abusive to them.
End of rant !

Bobby F raised it by mentioning sensitive souls who can't take swearing and suggesting alternative ways to deal with it.
Perhaps if people stop failing to understand it is not alright to be abusive, then I won't need to keep mentioning ?
Just a thought.

No, not new.
as Phil S and Darran, to name but two can testify

Been using it as this username for about a year, but was also on this site under a different username and the previous one for a long time, again with a different username
So if your point is that I should be used to all this nonsense, then the answer is no because the Mods used to police it in a totally different way, leading to many complaints and questions about"Why was my thread taken down", etc.
Guess they may have just given up trying to maintain order in the zoo that is Planet Swans

Here's a novel idea...

For those of you that don't like it on here, be that because of the swearing, the arguments or the supposed cliques, why don't you go to a different forum instead? Serious question.

If i disliked somewhere as much as some of you appear to dislike this place i would not come here. Rocket science it isn't.

It has not got any worse, or better, it is what it's always been.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Speaking for myself, I have never said I don't like it.
Same as everything else in life, for the most part it is great, exchanging views with sensible posters like yourself.
Even The Res in fairness to him offers arguments to back his viewpoints, whether I agree with them or not.
Occasionally IMHO the line gets crossed, but there is no reason for anyone to stop posting.

Some chap behind me on the North Bank swore when the opposition scored and also questioned the referee’s parentage. Being a docker’s son from the Sandfields I was unused to such coarse language and ungentlemanly behaviour and was scarred for life.

I now keep a pair of earplugs in my man bag next to my prawn and mayo sandwiches. Can’t be too careful.

There are times I like to get away from this lunatic asylum.

Having a few days away for an Easter break near Brighton with the wife and kids.

Feels good.

There is a life out there!
