I am a first time poster (now 2nd time) as FORC (Friend Of Roger Conway) and I have been astounded by the lack of respect and courtesy for all viewpoints being "allowed" without cyber-bullying, offensive (swearing), and discriminatory responses.
I came in to defend a good friend in the face of a cascade of hostile, dismissive and inaccurate posts that failed to strike any balance at all, as he has given ECFC six years of significant time and work (and Yes I know he isn't the only one).
Some (but not all) EXEWEB regulars have formed a virtual "gang" who basically band together and cyber bully anyone that they disagree with.
This not only discourages a diverse community on EXEWEB but, even though not officially connected, does not reflect well on the Trust (with all that name implies in terms of community values) or ECFC itself.
Sexton Blake: Agree 100% with both TBT and Loyalgrecian and frankly this thread is becoming entirely and dangerously out of hand. I am left wondering just what RC has done that has engendered the need for various contributors to write with such venom and bile.

This what is says on discrimination:
Discrimination
Discriminatory statements of any kind are punishable by infraction points, temporary and permanent bans. If you think something is discriminatory - don’t post it. Not only could you lose your rights to posting on Exeweb but you may well be breaking the law.
Discrimination covers but is not limited to the following:
Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Xenophobia and Ageism
Yet here are some clearly discriminatory posts:

Satisfied?
What an unsavoury bunch some subscribers have turned out to be.
Mackster: Not sorry to have spoiled your evening mischievous person from Lympstone."
Honestly, I'd rather open a Gay Bar in Mosul than attend.
If you lose one sense, your other senses are enhanced.
That's why people with no sense of humour have an increased sense of self-importance

contrabombarde: Off topic but we need a short break.... Why do Morris dancers wear bells?......So they can annoy blind people as well.

We also have the co-owner of the web site issuing posts - should EXEWEB owners or web masters or moderators or administrators be posting as users - as potential for conflicts of interest & bias - is that like the Referee playing the ball?:
Hants Red: Re: Should Roger Conway have got a Yellow Card and finished his tenure in October?
My name is Paul. I'm a co-owner of this website, one that I'm quite proud of with users who make a real contribution to the Club in many different ways. Many of whom I consider to be friends and many more to be made friends with. I've had to read your insults directed at them, in defence of the indefensible. Why don't you tell us who you are, and what your profession is (was)?
======================================================
EXEWEB says:
Language
Bear in mind that exeweb.com has a broad spectrum of users and as such you should avoid using offensive language. Words deemed offensive will be altered by the message board software. Please don't try and get round the system by using alternative spellings as you will be just as likely to be punished.
People make posts with serious swear words obvious despite the odd * or two chicked in ?
Edward (self-identified in posts as Simon Lomax of Kensa with slightest research): Re: Should Roger Conway have got a Yellow Card and finished his tenure in October?
Am I the only one thinking that FORC will never ever accept what is blindingly obvious to everybody else? Quite happy to get a few infraction points here (would be a new experience, is there a right of appeal?) but, in mitigation, I would suggest there has been considerable provocation from a complete p***k.
========================================================================================
What does EXEWEB say about inciting people to disturb the peace or worse:
External monitoring of the website
Police have been known to monitor this website in the past and Exeweb will co-operate with investigations where appropriate. This could include passing user details to investigating officers where a reasonable case is presented that a crime has been committed or the user has broken the law.
Yet a poster made implied threats to Roger Conway and a poster "loyalgrecian" that they would attend a Morris Men event at Lympstone to "barrack" or worse - Nothing was done by EXEWEB to moderate despite this post & others like it:
Truthbetold: That the thread should now include The Rapscallion's invitation to ruin Roger's life outside of ECFC, and that of his MM friends, is inflammatory and the exeweb management should have prevented publishing details of this worrying turn of events. This could change from a civil to a criminal matter if unchecked. In any event it is disgraceful.
=============================================================================
Would you let young fans (< 16) view this supposedly community web site?
Otherwise, we have ZERO TOLERANCE for bad behaviour within the SJP ground but excessive tolerance for virtual bad behaviour outside of the ground here on EXEWEB.
Come on EXEWEB - These are your rules for civil discourse, respectful conversations (even if views differ) and posts free from discrimination, threats and sw**ring - So please start enforcing them!
