Comment Moderation Crack Down
by CaughtOffside Team on September 26th, 2009 215 words | 13 commentsNow we here at COS love good old fashioned reasoned debate, hell we also love a bit of in fighting and some good old fashioned swearing but we have noted an upturn in volume from complete headcases who seem to revel in the need to rile others and do so in a thoroughly unoriginal and pointless manner.
We know who you are, we know where you live and we have your IP addresses. We will be putting a few more banned words on our moderator watch list, and one of those words will not be Anteater, but you can guess which ones will be there. Now if your whole reason for living is to spout bile and anger all around you, then you probably need to seek psychiatric help rather than visit this website. To the majority of commentors who deal in sensible arguments and amusing name calling and basically having fun and talking football, we applaud you, keep up the good work!
Also, some of you have made points about the whole “You are commenting too quickly, slow down” malarkey, this is just a browser/tech issue. If you get this message, simply press the back button your comment will still be on screen and just press submit again and that should do the trick.

Here, here. Well said COS team whoever you are. I totally agree. Lets keep this forum for football banter only. There are many other forums for all the wum’s to get their sick pleasures. We all have our teams to hate and love but there is no need whatsoever to sling personal insults around like confetti.

Jolly good… you’ve been warned Jed
RE: “comment to fast” adivise. Well I do this everytime and my comment is not re-displayed. I’m on IE7 so not sure if that makes a difference. I’m just copying my message before posting.
Only other grumble I have is that the Legendary Banter column has now move to the bottom of the page… bit difficult to see it down there and actually have a good old fashioned mass debate.

Another suggestion…. get rid of this moderation thing (All anons can see other anons moderated messages anyway) and just have a “report this idiot” button to flag up messages to be deleted. Then you could have an automatic system that if say 5 different IP addresses “report” then the message is deleted.

Why not make ppl register if they want 2 post comments not exactly the most taxing registration process

For me I don’t really care about these idiots who write stupid non-football comments on this site.. if they want to comment then let them – we have freedom of speach in this country and thankfully I can alway ignore it. They’re only after attention and by replying you are fulfiling their fantasies.
For me what this site needs is a few more non-Liverpool supporters… at times I just feel it should be called LiverpoolCOS. Even the articles are predominately about Liverpool and they are the first name listed in the club menu! Mmmm, interesting. As a united fan there’s not much going on at times… this is probably why Jed is writing so many stupid comments on here!
Enjoy the banter, but try and make it more interesting for non- Liverpool fans otherwise you’ll only get Liverpool haters writing stupid comments.

Liverpool cos… Like it dunno what country you are from but its not england if u have freedom of speech! Think the order of the list is down to popularity. Think a lot of the articles on liverpool are down to the fact that as soon as it is known we are watching a player Ynwa does a whole thing on should we buy him even tho the window is shut. Some of us tell him these are pointless others like the speculation plus with hicks and gilett in charge there are always new questions about the way the club is being run coming out of the nationals to discuss so the fact you don’t get as many is probably a good thing

Brilliant! Let’s all help to make the site quality. A bit of back and forth never hurt anyone, but the constant Liverpool are shit comments are lazy and thoughtless. Thanks for addressing COS Team!

So under these new rules am I allowed to still say that Jed is a retard?
anonymous - September 27th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
woohoo…looks like I am allowed to still say Jed is a retard.

Whatever happened to the “most discussed” list on this site… it was on here ages ago but just disappears. That was great – it basically was a list of article with the most comments on. If you really wanted a bit of banter then you just went staright there.
Bring it back please – even if it at the bottom of the page. Can’t say I ever look at “the squad” or “other news” – anyone else use them?
