I am now only slightly less confused about what is going on with the message board(s) than I was last night.
It appears to me that Brooksider shut down the old MB as he (as owner) was liable for anything said on it. I am guessing that the thread about Andy Morrison has led to a complaint and possibly some sort of legal threat to Brooksider. Is this anywhere near a correct interpretation of events?
Now the old MB seems to be online again I am a little uncertain which one to read or post on!

That's how it appears to me as well. However, when I set up an identical message board, there was none of the warning that Brooksider refers to, i.e. board owner being liable. Instead, that warning appears when you register for the board - that all your comments may be used as evidence etc.
Anyone seen the Worcester News site? Morrison is claiming victory!

IMHO Steve Carley and WN need to take a long hard look at their actions regarding this item.
Also am I reading Brookies post correctly on the other MB, he is almost implying that he is the recipient of legal action!

Steve Carley has shown himself to be a typical sensationalist journo, who has done his career no favours with this display of treachery. WCFC has bent over backwards to be accommodating to him, and all he has done is create a huge and potentially irreparable division between the club and many of its lifeblood. It wouldn't surprise me if DB pulls the plug on the access the WN have had, or at least refuse to give Carley access.

I need to know what was said that caused all this - if only to avoid saying it again. Was it comments re Jock, or players or tactics, or what? And who now runs the original board? What do the club think of all this? As I've said on the original mesage board, I feel like a six year old who's had a favourite toy taken away for bad behaviour, but has no idea why. If this really was instigated by Morrison does this mean we can't criticise him in any way? And if it was done by him then the sooner he goes the better.
But I may have interpreted this in entirely the wrong way - so we need to know.

But I may have interpreted this in entirely the wrong way - so we need to know. ealing, I really wish I could answer you, I followed what was going on, but I cannot see any reasonwhy the board was shut down and the lack of a response to your question on the other board is worrying. Like Maze and I said, this one was set up because we thought the other one was down completely, but if people want to continue posting on here then great, but I can't see the point in having two boards... (however this one WILL stay as a reserve) I may not agree with the majority of the opinions on there but that doesn't mean they should not be aired. For me it's like the National Front, their views may be vile but they should still be allowed the same right as everyone else to air them, only then - through sensible arguments and criticism can we persuade them otherwise. (* I AM NOT COMPARING ANYONES VIEWS TO THOSE OF THE NF) |

Darrell I don't really feel inclined to post on that board while I have no idea who is moderating it. I have no objection to a certain level of moderation - even though my gut reaction is to have none. I understand that there may be a legal reason for some degree of control to be in place. I just have a scary image of AM scanning our posts while sitting in a dark attic wearing THOSE shorts. Hideous.
But then AM may have nothing to do with all this. How are we supposed to know? I hope our little community thrives again. I miss it already, and I believe hearing the many, varied, and often crazy views some other supporters have adds to the feeling of belonging to the club.
I've been proud to have taken part in some of the debates - and I remember one in particular. The time you "came out" and received support on here was a great moment. It proved to me that we're not just a bunch of country bumkin bullies, but a collection of people who are capable of looking out for each other.
I know we'll be looking out for each other long after any bullies at the club are long gone.
I hope to see you at the game tomorrow.

I've just read the WN article and can't quite believe what I've read- there have been very few people who have agreed with Jock saying what he did and for him to claim victory...tomorrow should be interesting I think.

I've posted a message on the other board enquiring as to who the "new" moderator is. I'd given personal details to register for the old forum and I'm not happy these details are now known to others.
If there is no answer forthcoming I'd rather post on this board as at least I have more trust in Messrs Butler & Maysey (not often you see that in a sentence!) as I know they exist and are genuine City supporters.
This may seem an over reaction but I'm quite choosy who I divulge my email address to. Anyway, we'll see!

I have spoken to the Club and they bottomure me that they have had nothing at all to do with the current situation on the other MB. Its as much a mystery to them as it is to us.  |

Not impressed. I've deleted my account also. If all this is supposed to prove a point I'd like to know what it is, and by whom. If it's a joke, I'm not laughing.
