I doubt many people on here would want to try and prevent proper banter between fans, and I think the moderators are on the ball enough to stamp out any posts that go beyond a very relaxed line.
The problem with the Pools Rivals board is that the Pools moderator seems to be missing most of the time and then seems to have a cockeyed view of things when he does get his finger out of his backside. The darlo Rivals moderator seems to have a more iron grip but doesn't really apply his rules fairly. I have never voted for banning anyone (even Headlander who really spoiled boards for me) but I wouldn't condemn any moderator for doing so if he had good reason but I would expect the moderators to judge irrespective of club supported.
I am certain the admins on this board will moderate where required with an even hand and attempts to bring the board down to the gutter level (or should that be up?

) will be quickly stamped out. I think the regulars of this messageboard have pride in what has been established and won't let the hard work of a number of people be destroyed.
