Personal Attackes

[Alex Render]

Ok, there has been a fair few posts / topics of late that have contained perosnal attacks / insults on individuals whether be players / spectators or officials. Guess who keeps getting the phone calls and emails? ME. Frankly I am over it and have better things to do with my life. Examples, insulting an individual and using their name (whether they are right or wrong), posting someones photo in an attempt to pee someone off (Dallas) etc. In addition to this, moderators deleting posts / topics and not explaining the action to the creator.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy most of the stuff on here but I don't enjoy the posts that results in my time being wasted. Please think before you type. Deliberate personal attacks will result in warnings and account suspension from here on in. Moderators who execute personal attacks will receive the same punishment.

I can kick your butt on the snooker table all day long

at the end of the day ladies and gents you should not be calling alex having a whine........ This is what the PM command is used for if you have a problem PM alex or another mod to do something about it

Alex does have a wife and 2 kids and does not need to be called about stupid stuff what goes on the forum, its cyberspace not the real world

So how about we all hold hands and love each other

What is the point of your post?
Next time just be quiet.

Nice post Alex, it will be interesting to see how effective it is.

[Nathan Reese]

I agree it will be intertesting too see how effective it is.

Lukey your in a bit of trouble now how are you going to be able to control yourself

[Micky Cafarella]

I agree with you there Alex, I know we all have our fun and share of sarcasm, but not everyone has thick skin, and can take the constant barrage of dished out by Luke and Dallas (when on the receiving end).... oh and other members of course, most on here can be guilty of that, me included

I know a lot of players who just browse here as guests, because they are concerned of being a prospective ..."victim", I know I've mentioned this before.

Yada yada, I know the limited few here will say "It's only fun, if they can't take a joke.. then blah blah"

This forum is for the majority... not the manority... capish.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY.. to all the pops.

[Dallas Hershell]

Ow please. I have not had a personal attack on anyone since becoming a mod.. Im the one who should complain about personal attacks...

[Luke Hough]

Henry why dont you just curl back up in a ball and let things be if you cant understand it dont ask

[billy]

Ow please. I have not had a personal attack on anyone since becoming a mod.. Im the one who should complain about personal attacks...

thats soooooo true lol

[SeaNy.]

i am not saying that personal attacks are ok because they are not

however

when an officials actions or the actions of a player create a controversial situation isn't that open for discussion? is that not how we learn from these things and improve?

why is Sir Rodney Walkers actions and his running of World Snooker open for discussion in world wide press, but the officials of Australian / Victorian snooker cant be discussed in a forum based in snookers backwaters?

[Ray Taaffe]

What is discussed here is exactly what is said at tournaments when a few players sit together and talk about how the tourny is going. Do the officials think that this is the only place a bad call,match,frame, opponent, controversial moment, bad ref, bad sportsmanship, etc, etc, is talked about ? Imagine if you had mods from the ABSC, the referees or other officials, every point of discussion that wasn't favourable towards them would be deleted. So then what would be the point of the forum ? I personally have learnt a great deal, met many new friends and caught up with many old friends and travelled to tournaments I wouldn't have previously considered if not for the forum, and had a great time. Half this post should have been in another topic.

[Micky Cafarella]

I think overall, the forum has contributed more positive than negative.

Ray makes a good point, the forum has put a lot of names to faces, who have then met up, or played against in various tournament's in Australia.

I think the guys I've met on here are great, and it's been nice meeting the people involved in this great game. We all have a good laugh, at the end it's just a game, (competitive in competition no doubt) but a game nonetheless.

I've come back playing for 2 yrs, after a 10 yr break, and I don't want this game to be tarnished, so be good or I'll smack uzzzz.

[Aaron Mahoney]

I think people can still constructively give negative feeback to the associations without having to personally name any individuals or attack anyone.

The difference between the ABSC/VBSA/BSANSW etc and the AFL/NRL or World Snooker Association etc is that they are all professional associations rather then non/minimally paid associations. Essentially snooker associations in Aus rely on people like Alex as a example to give their time to the sport they are passionate about for little return. If we personally attacked all the people who helped out for any mistakes they make, then we would soon run out of people who would help.

[Alex Render]

Just pay me $200k per year and you can personally attack me as much as possible

[dave w]

thats a shame i was going to go to town on you know who

[Dallas Hershell]

Ah, is this Dave Waller??

[Alex Render]

It is Dal

[Grant Meadley]

About time we reviewed this topic I believe....................Moderators have gone of the ball...........we can all habe a bit of fun but the personal attacks are not funny after a while........you sort of get sick of coming on here and reading dribble from the same small handful of people........

[Dallas Hershell]

Anything that goes too far (like fighting words), or ends up out of the chit chat topics, get deleted.

If someone writes something about you that you would like removed, all you have to do is PM me and I will delete it..

Grow some------------ nevermind...

[Bryan]

i'll moderate this forum, remove all personal attacks.

This may impact the Dallas, Luke, Billy, Dale & John Wims love affair.

[dale]

hate to sound like a child here but it if i do billy starts on me everything i say look at the historyeverytime and john wims has 25 post under his belt hardly fair to brin g him down to our level

[Dallas Hershell]

Please try to refrain from posting while drunk people...

[Luke Reborn]

[Dallas Hershell]

Yeah, I think we need it introduce a breathalyzer log-in module..

[Henry Lau]

[SENKO146]

Alex it XOXOX me that you have to put up with 6 fingered banjo playering wanna be snooker players......So me to call travis crawley a xoxo, undeserved talent around a snooker table and a guy who should be thinking about growing a neck and the average tred mill run rather than practicing. I should really say this to his face and i think everyone should do the same thing to others.......When it becomes a personal issue go face to face and dont hide behind a keyboard...But always be ready for the right hook...
There has been a lot of abuse lately so guys grow some balls and if u have an issue deal with it...
So travis this is a game called pick a box...U pick 1 of 4 boxes...These boxes contain the following.....
1...3 rounds with matt helm...
2...Best of 11 for a thousand with leigh senko
3...If you pick the leigh senko box and beat him refeer back to box 1
4...12 months membership at fitness first

[Dallas Hershell]

Can someone translate that for me?

[Bryan]

Billy is saying "Attackes" is not the correct spelling of the word "Attack" Suggesting that the original poster can't spell, how can he be on big $$$ - lol

[Alex Render]

I see your AA meetings have had no success Billy!

And maybe its big fingers rather than bad spelling as the E is next to the S on the keyboard.

[Grant Meadley]

LOL where did all that just come from WTF

[Dallas Hershell]

Billy obviously hit the spell check button on the google toolbar...
