Following on from 8 March summit - an update on RangersMedia's stance

[J_RFC87 761]

Due to the Summit of 8 March 2011 involving the SFA, police, Scottish Government and Old Firm representatives; RangersMedia (“RM”) has no option but to obey these rules. Please understand our new measures are for the protection of Rangers fans.

For clarification, and for the avoidance of doubt, RM are not liable for any member’s posts and you are personally liable for your comments.

• No threats to anyone pertinent to Celtic FC, as interpreted by the law
  
• Sectarianism will not be allowed, as interpreted by the law
  

As you are aware, the police will be monitoring RM and it is your responsibility to remain on the correct side of the law.

The moderating team do not have the financial support to moderate every single post due to the size of RM. We receive no assistance from the Scottish Government or any of its public bodies. We have received no official correspondence from any of these public bodies and are left to our own definitions of the Summit’s conclusions.

Any sectarian abuse from Celtic fans on RM will now result in a database being kept of their details (IP address, email address etc) and will be forwarded to the police when we deem necessary. These details will have been attained legally as every person signs up to RM on their own choice. We urge Rangers fans not to sign up to Celtic forums.

Please post responsibly.

Regards

RangersMedia team.

Does this mean we wont have the freedom to write whatever we like on RM anymore? Will our post be removed if deemed sectarian, abusive etc...

I really think it's time for a private members only section of RM, in order to maintain freedom of speech without fear of prosecution!

Edit: Double post

Irritating to say the least.

Agreed and think most will also agree. Can Admin please go about and getting this sorted please?

[.Williamson. 82,205]

Can somebody define what will be considered sectarian?

Just there seems to be a never ending list.

Sectarian break in's even exsist nowadays.

[lewisrfc93 470]

What will be classed as sectarianism? they seem to be offended by everything we say.

[ricksen_da_best 2,034]

Puts you off posting at all , it really does.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

ffs

Does.

I like having the freedom to say as I wish.

[GeneralCartmanLee 313]

To be honest i think there is more racism on this site than actual sectarianism but fair enough.

Anyone who feels the need to write ftp ect after there posts add nothing to the board anyway and wouldn't be missed.

Where I live, it doesn't even exist!

yes please do admin.

Private section for approved members, 500+ posts or something like that to try ensure only bears get in.

Same, thats why im wondering what it is.

[TheYellowSubmarine 22]

private section of the forum! :jelavic:

[Gillete 1,338]

So does this work the other way ?

If posters on kerryfail st or talkceltic continue to spout their bile , will the police be looking into this ?

Somehow I feel we are being the " accused " once again

[cstamomusa 3,809]

One good things is Celtic fans who join up here to cause trouble will be treated the same, so they may get bored and leave.

I wouldnt mind a private section either.

The Bears Dean is supposed to be a place where u can express ur feelings.

Not a place where ur feart incase u type something that gets u prosecuted.

-_-

[trueblueal 2,117]

No threats and no sectarian language should be no problem for those who use RM as a football forum and source of news on their team. Anyone who has a problem sticking by those simple rules won't be missed IMO

[Carsons Dog 9,878]

Can we still say arse and fart?

[Scott-RFC 308]

Express your feelings about rangers, you're not going to get prosecuted for that.
