Attention membership -
The 2015 season began with a level of optimism higher than any in recent memory. A 4-3 start added to the hope and expectations.
3 losses later, the fan base has taken it hard.
As moderators we've allowed the frustration to be expressed at levels above what we intended when the site was founded. We've allowed it, because we've been frustrated too.
Of late, quite frankly, it's become excessive and unenjoyable. Examples;
To reset the boundaries; we are implementing a warning system. Warnings will be sent in the form of notices to inboxes anywhere from 1-5 points which expire 14 days from receipt.
1-2 points = a general warning
3 points = 24 hour time out
5 points = 7 day time out
We recognize some members will read this message and make claims of censorship or homerism. If that's your take then maybe this isn't the place for you.
But; the heart of ROD's membership came here for the joy of football, the love of the team, and an experience different from other forums.
It's more fun that way.
That's who we are.
Cheers!

- Topics and jabs at the team outside of vent threads
- Name calling directed at the team and other members
