Just to add, I spotted it the other night and had to act quickly as Marsbars was clearly 'off on one'. He posted sectarian abuse in the thread as well as threatening to kill someone!
Some may say "oh he was pissed" but there is absolutely no excuse to post what he did.

I had to issue him with a temp 7 day ban whilst his future gets discussed in the mod forum. I feel let down as we gave him another chance after previously being banned yet he went ahead and did that.

I know I'm being more transparent than I usually am (!) but just thought I'd clear things up.

Fwiw I think you absolutely got it right. It was starting to get very nasty, very quickly

Yup - agree with that.

Libs - you know I'm not a fan of censorship and moderating language, and I am no shrinking violet when it comes to arguments and insults, but that crossed the line by quite some way. Marbars' words were nasty, spiteful, and snide, IMO.

Free speech does not give the right to abuse other forum users - if you want to say something that would probably see you punched in the face in the real world, you shouldn't say it online.

Am I reading the wrong thing here? "Threatening to kill someone" ?

Thanks fellas, I've now read it.......... And I've seen worse on a sober Wednesday night on the current affairs section arguing about diddly squat.........And I've most certainly seen ten times worse in previous years Poppy threads ( we are consistent on here ).......... I do agree that nipping it in the bud was probably wise though...

The threat had been posted in the matchday thread.

Also, in the original Alan Browne post, I deleted all the offending posts which you wouldn't have been able to read/see.

Ahhh... So I'm defending something as looking pretty innocuous when what's left of it actually is. Thanks for buggering up my street cred Gaz ( don't worry I have none )...
Sorry to anyone that wondered what the hell I was on about but in fairness I was wondering the same in reverse.

Easy mistake to make, Libs!

Even I was appalled by them and, as you know, I am rarely offended by anything.
