Cheap Shots at Clubs on this Forum

Time for my whinge....
I don't know about everyone else, but I am getting tired at people taking CHEAP SHOTS at SA clubs on this website. Anytime a club is mentioned, some moron has to take the opportunity to post crap, followed by someone from the club responding and it turns into a slinging match.
I don't think this is good for the game in SA and makes us look like a bunch of idiots sometimes. Who has the ability to hold back on these types of posts?
Can't we all just get along?

I agree. Not being involved in club-level basketball, I can just shake my head in disappointment, but I can imagine how frustrating it must be for others.

From now on, people doing this may be randomly blocked from accessing the forum at my discretion. So, if you want to post a pointless, negative, anonymous snipe at a local club, realise that not being able to read or respond on the forum could be the penalty.

I don't like the anonymous cheap shots at particular players.

e.g http://hoops.com.au/sa/i.cfm/forumlist/9429/#111650 post (#111539)

i guess people are jealous or something.

Correct Bizzy. Running jokes in good spirit (Cheeze's Hawks, my array of automobiles, rats at the Dome, Ben Fitz jacking up shots, Reesy and Dusty being tightarses, etc) are welcome.

Comments such as that pointed out by ELG are exactly what I do NOT want to see on the forum.

How about personal shots at other forum posters?

I think if you dont hold enough intelligence to debate a point without making a personal attack, you should be deemed not intelligent enough to be able to access this forum.

So feel free to have a running joke at me about either my taste in music or about blonde North girls!

90% of the comments about North girls are from you. Since when has anyone tried to stop that?

Im sick of it to...and im not even associated with any particular district club. But to see "Forrestville are sh*t" or "Centrals are gay" annoys the hell out of me. Its just immature people please get over it and if your going to do it, get off our site.

This coming from a person who started a thread saying "Are Sturt and Eastern sinking?"

Can you say hypercrit!

There were no cheap shots in Panther's initial thread on Sturt and Eastern. It was the nuff nuff's who posted afterwards who started the cheap shots.
