    I don’t really understand what the rules are on this fourm. I see some people get banned for saying something but then someone else does the exact same thing and nothing happens. I do feel like people get banned a little too much on here though. Also what is the problem with alts? Why are they not allowed?

    I have been banned on multiple occasions for insinuating signal theft. I dont recall ever posting a link or telling anyone of where to go to see a certain fight. Talking about streaming should never be a reason to ban.
    I believe in these instances Matchroom employees are logging in and reporting posts of people talking about fishing and rivers and thinking people are stealing their content.
    Barmy.

    Yes I noticed there was a few posters banned for watching boxing at The Angling Club where one poster proved that it does actually exist.

    [url]https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/other-sport/amateur-sport/angling-look-club-scene-22956640[/url]

    Got nothing to do with streaming at all and no different to watching at the local Liverpool Supporters Club Bars.

    Probably the same people @hobby rider reporting posters for any adverse comments about Matchroom Boxers, Hearn and DAZN UK.

    It is though, as i've said five or six times in this thread, as is said at the top of every single rbr posted on the forum.

    Please try to keep it on topic everyone, this isn't a thread for complaining about the things you don't like about the forum, it's for what's lain out in the OP. I think i've dealt with the Singal Theft talk as thoroughly as I possibly can, and I really will delete all those posts from hereon in.

    And those that report alt accounts.

    That would clear things right up

    I post on here for a bit of banter and a bit of escapism from normal life.

    I like pretending Shanny is the hottest woman in England and making fun of a lot of the characters in boxing.

    I think people need to chill out and stop being so emotionally involved with certain fighters.

    Is not possible to limit the rights of new users or add some sort of karma system.

    I was on about financial losses, no surprise with Ridsdale about the place.

    I support Scunthorpe United. 72 years in the football league, championship 10 years ago and now sitting bottom of the conference with a winding up order against us. Desperate times.

    Good points - but I’ve seen it implemented on other forums. Depends how serious the mods are about solving the clear issue.

    Not true.

    These decisions are made at the level of ownership who make a decision about what they want the introduction to their forum look like.These other forums have a preference for a less-free, less-trolled environment than the owners of this forum. Again, it's a balancing act between the two and every owner has a different approach, from the absolute wild-west to all posts being reviewed by moderators prior to appearing in public.

    I understand the keen-ness of some to appoint new moderators, change the way the forum operates etc., but you guys need to remember that the forum as a whole is doing really well at the moment. The British forum is a minor part of the total picture and the idea that overall policy will change to accommodate it is not sensible.
