This is a public forum like Reddit or anything else. This isn't a private chat, so anything here is public domain. Don't like your comments having backlash? Save it for you buddies in your private chats where everyone agrees with you and you all take turns jerking each other off
A) he was never welcome here. Neither was I or many others because we didn't share the same opinions as other vocal members. Guess people come here Just to have people validate their opinion and agree with them.
B) that's a third rail member, good to see our fearless leader has our back... or rather, condemns members without even bothering to ask for any info or background story. So which of these communities is "our community" for you? The forum or your support member who stood up for you when templados and whatever would shit on your name left and right?

Okay, okay, why don't we calm down. Opinions on players, formation tactics, games are 99% okay. We can disagree about who should play RB if we provide points to justify our claims. When we start discussing off the field incidents regarding fans and members on social sites, that's when things get weird. Someone called me homosexual and their defense was in the past I've supported Mix and Johansen. That's ban punishment. For the most part, we can discern sarcasm and serious points. We all support NYCFC (hopefully), some are more vocal, some are more serious than others. Let's respect each other's opinion, hear the opposition, and not act like we're 8 year olds.
I want to dislike this because self-martyring is so stupid but . . . that's a perfect gif.Waiting for my ban now like
You make some valid points on how we can do better.
But there's also just the fact that we haven't had any big event, and there's also the newness wearing off.
Forums peak and trough. It's just how it goes.
I mean, in fairness, people like you and me could blame all of the new people for 2015 voices leaving. Is that accurate? I don't know. But us old-timers were here then when we had more diversity per your observation (mine too).
It seems to be a bit of seasonal thing. You lose some, you gain some every year. There are also just more places to talk about less actual shit going on.
I'm happy to encourage any quality new posters. After I haze balls on their first post, of course.
As should be abundantly clear by now: I don't do tit for tat.
In the interest of honesty, transparency and resolution I offer up the following:
Joseph messaged me on facebook. The end result was that I offered to reach out to Dan and ask if he would consider removing the ban on his behalf. I only asked because I do think that he should have the opportunity to make amends if indeed it was a mistake. My recommendation was that he clear this up with Mark and Dan; the rest of forum members if he chooses. That's my take on it. What is done with it is up to Dan, Joseph and Mark.

ETA thanks for reminding us that we are on the Internet.
Wow spend the day watching American football and miss a cluster F**K
So we've got "scarfers", huh? Guess it was very naive to hope we didn't. What a pathetic mix of toxic masculinity and wannabe Euro/South American Hooligan mindset you have to have for that to seem like a "Cool" or "acceptable thing to do.

I do think the remaining community including you and also myself in a different way have some culpability here.
Like when I drunkenly went all SJW in that Alex Kraemer thread, the point wasn't that that I wanted people to be silenced or banned - I just wanted there to be another view on offer.
Most people are fine with hearing things they don't like - they just want to be in a space where they can also be heard and not shouted down. And we haven't always lived up to that. I don't think it's exactly intentional but if we care about being more than a very narrow club (and maybe we *don't* and that's a legit choice too) it's a dynamic we should pay attention to.
Not self martyring, I just know what's coming. Like me, when I was playing that gif over and over...
I legit have no idea what you said, but if you can see this, you're on the internet mate.
Then I have to admit your vocabulary, spelling, and grammar are excellent for internet usage an 8 year old. Just make sure you ask your parents permission to use the internet.
I thought I knew this place pretty well but clearly there are layers of beefs I knew nothing about.

I don't get where this whole 'go to Dan' thing came from but I can assure you that it doesn't happen, at least not the way you think it does.
There is a report function and it's used by MANY members and 99% of the time it's stuff that's against the TOS.
Also, we're not ban happy. 95% of all bans have been issued prior to this year. When we were first established and had Bluemoon members here shitting on us on a daily basis telling us we have to respect Man City. I'm a man city supporter and wouldn't have it on my forum, happening to my members.
I truly try to be as fair and understanding as possible.
So, to show that we aren't ban happy here is the most recent ban list. The list is in order banned, most recent shown first.
As you can see the last person on the ban page was last active in August of 2015. Meaning everyone on this page was banned within the last 2 years. Of all those members only 3 were active and one was a temp (Mario). So we banned 2 active members in 2 years. Both, I feel, deservingly.
Mario's expires tomorrow and he's free to post and continue posting under the rules.
The other two truly don't belong here. I think the majority of us understand and agree that they are toxic to the community and shouldn't be here. He's clearly admired and respected in his FB community and perhaps that's where he belongs. I'll also add that I've had banned members return under different names and I've allowed it, some who still post, because they decided to contribute and participate under the rules. That doesn't mean they don't agree with everything established members say, I'm not asking for that one bit, it's exactly why Joseph lasted as long as he did. The decision to ban him was entirely mine, but it had nothing to do with him disagreeing with others here.
I've repeatedly told members to use the ignore function despite the fact I know it impacts the experience here (not seeing their responses but seeing responses that don't go with flow of discussion due to other members discussing ignored persons response). Even tho I've been told some long standing members left due to said posters.
It's nearly impossible keeping EVERYONE happy in such a vast community and people will disagree. 99% of the time I turn a blind eye unless I really need to intervene.

I hate 234. It's not even the Bieber, it's not the people. Not the Choi I love the choi. It's that forsaken "aaggghhhhh" shit roar after the you shit bastard (I prefer the generic puto chant to it but even then) that is the sole reason I can't stand it... I cringe every time
