I think the best thing we could do is introduce a ‘RLFANS Respect policy’ to go alongside the AUP. This would be a policy that accepts that people can make the odd joke and the odd criticism. But not to overdo it because it effects the enjoyment of other users.

I think that PHIPPS should be used as a case study and an example of what not to be like. Hopefully we can have a ‘star poster’ as well who people can fallow in the example of. Personally I’d choose Rogue Gallery who likes a bit of a laugh at anyone's expense (Leeds Rhinos from time to time in my experiance ) but always contributes well to the forums as well. It's about balance.

It's sweeping generalisations ( [ie.g. Wigan have been crap throughout their entire history[/i ) that are often referred to as 'trolling' hence my point.

I'm not at all being obtuse about '[iwolfs[/i'. Many mildy-insulting nicknames ( like Dire, Stains etc ) are quite witty. What's witty about not knowing the plural of a word?

Oh my god, PLEASE make Andy a mod.

Trolling is generally accepted as posting something simply to stir up other readers/posters. Any others have pointed out, this board is not a private club open only to unquestioning Wigan fans, so of course such an insulting generalisation is trolling.

I believe it stems from a picture of three wolfs fans standing next to a wall on which someone had spraypainted the word "Wolfs". I'm sure someone will have the picture.

There we go

So reading the sticky at the top of the page, who's the new mod? Has Wigan & Leeds Andy got his wish?

New mod is ready and waiting. Just waiting for the official switch on.

Is it?

How ironic the most civilised thread on here is everbody chatting about trolling

Oh a new MOD!.

Can we have a sweepstake?

Please please please

Thanks for that!

It's hilarious that my spelling was being questioned; not only the Wolfs reference (even if you hadn't seen the infamous Wolfs photo it would have been fairly easy to guess it was a deliberately jokey misspelling) but also the word "stupidest", again a word chosen deliberately this time because it sounds/looks wrong (though actually I don't think it is, it sounds awkward but there's no reason why you can't use it - e.g. www.metro.co.uk/weird/870060-is-this-britains-stupidest-sign ).

Even more hilarious is the fact that I have been accused of trolling on the Wigan board when replying to a thread started by a Wigan fan complaining about trolling. Genius.

I love this stuff, thanks for cheering me up after a terrible Sunday!

You're exactly right. You can't spell and you were trolling. Glad to bring a ray of sunshine into your misery.

This has now GOT boring.
