Community Guidelines for Respectful Football Debate

This text isn’t a match report or a football news article. It’s a short set of community and moderation guidelines, so I’ll reshape it into a clearer, more polished notice with a firmer, more editorial voice.

Respect First, Always

This community runs on passion, argument, and the kind of football debate that lasts long after the final whistle. It does not run on abuse.

Respect the people you’re talking to. That includes contributors, fellow fans, and even the ones you completely disagree with. Take aim at the ideas, not the person. Cross the line into personal attacks or harassment and you won’t last long here.

One thing is non‑negotiable: trolling rival sites. If you head to another community just to stir things up, expect a permanent ban. No warnings, no second chances.

Keeping Track of Your Voice

Your comments are part of your record here. To see what you’ve said and where you’ve said it, head to the My Profile tab and scroll through your comment history. It’s the quickest way to revisit an argument, follow up on a discussion, or check how a conversation unfolded.

Move Faster Through the Comments

Match threads and big news days can move at the speed of a counterattack. To keep up, use the built‑in shortcuts:

  • Press C to scroll forward through comments.
  • Press Shift + C to scroll backwards.
  • Hit Z to jump straight to the Next Unread comment.
  • Press Shift + A to mark every comment currently on your screen as read.

Learn these, and even the busiest thread becomes manageable.

When Something Goes Wrong

Glitches happen. So do bad actors.

If you spot a technical bug, send the details to [email protected] so it can be fixed.

If your issue is about moderation — harassment, rule‑breaking, or anything that crosses the line — email [email protected]. The team will review it and act.

The rules are simple: respect the space, respect each other, and argue the football, not the person.
