Sadly, I saw a 'dig' from a lady on FB this week regarding PASOTI 'stifling debate'.
I would just like to re-iterate what has been said by most of the Mods and myself on a few occasions over the last few years.
1) We do not allow bad language on this site. We're proud of its Child Friendly status and that will continue to be the case whilst this group of Mods are running PASOTI.
2) We will not allow wanton abuse of any member of Argyle staff on here. Complaints are one thing, but some of the shocking language and comments allowed on FB Free Chat and ATD will never be tolerated on this, a Football Website.
3) All comments (apart from those above) ARE allowed and if the person wishing to make a negative comment/thread, is prepared to take alternative views from people that passionately support their team, then that's the healthy way. It does seem that this myth of Pasoti controlling people's minds seems to have come from a small bunch of people who actually believe 'free speech' only works when the threads are anti club or anti establishment. Fortunately this is not the case.
4) We will remove anything we think is not conducive to the running of our site. That includes bad personal insults against any person, internet bullying of people who have differing posting styles and repetitive threads on the same subject which are created by person or persons who have ulterior motive aimed at causing trouble on this site.
5) The Mods are vigilantly looking for multis, the people that repeatedly accuse this site of using them, on average attempt about 5 false accounts per month, but again, the Mod concerned is on this like a rash, and not many get through these days.
The people that help run this site are sure that this is the best run it has ever been, the team of Mods have many varying viewpoints on life in general, and come from all political persuasions, so the mix is dead right, and the site is enjoying its most settled period for twenty years.
Unfortunately, there are people that seem dedicated to attacking the site, both verbally and through stealth but the main thing is, our valued members, on the whole, seem happy with what this site provides and that is, after all, the prime objective of the volunteers that run PASOTI,
Thanks for listening.
