Bob Singleton Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Maybe banning the word 'woke' might help? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Proud-Blue Posted June 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2023 Thank you for doing this @JaneB and @My Blood Is Blue and everyone else involved. I appreciate the mention of 'hateful' content. It has been extremely depressing to read posts over the last few days that are openly discriminatory or at least very close to it. I've seen you and other mods try to shut this down however and I appreciate it. I have been very, very close to replying to these comments. It's been very hard to resist at times, especially as someone involved in EDI in football and Chelsea specifically. But out of respect for what you're doing, I'll trust you and the team to handle it. Anyway, it's Pride in London next week and I cannot wait to share with you what we've arranged with the club. It's going to be absolutely spectacular. 😂 Thanks again for all you do. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be absolutely spectacular. 😂 I know the ones you mean and I'm sorry I didn't challenge them. It just didn't feel worth the effort based on how that has been received in the past, and that's a pretty terrible way of me thinking about it in that moment because it's easy for me to decide to ignore and move on than it would be for someone else more directly affected by those posts. I'll risk the mods wrath next time. Edited June 29, 2023 by thevelourfog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Anyone like to expand on the posts that were openly offensive and discriminatory or are we just shutting down all other opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, you know better than that - or at least you should know better than that! Have they been dealt with? If so, how and why? What was offensive and discriminatory and who gets to decide what that is? If it's posts I've made recently then I 100% refute that they were and resent the fact that my opinion has been deemed offensive or discriminatory. Proud and TVF are alluding to something. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it bluntly - none of your business. 32 minutes ago, Ham said: What was offensive and discriminatory and who gets to decide what that is? The moderators and administrators decide - just like they always have done. 32 minutes ago, Ham said: Proud and TVF are alluding to something. What is it? No idea. Maybe you can tell me and the other mods/admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Typically informative and useful response Michael. If you don't know what they're alluding to, how do you know what had to be dealt with? Edited June 30, 2023 by Ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post My Blood Is Blue Posted June 30, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2023 We aim to create an inclusive forum where people from all backgrounds can engage in serious and lighthearted discussions about Chelsea FC and football. I understand that conversations may occasionally veer off into other topics, just like they would in a pub, coffee shop, or your own living room and that's fine, it's nice to see. However, we want to steer clear of political debates or sensitive discussions. It's important to recognise that we all have different views, and it's not a moderator's place to declare anyone's opinion as wrong. As moderators, our role is to ensure that conversations and comments that could potentially offend others are limited or shut down. Our intention is not to invalidate anyone's viewpoint but to maintain a space where Chelsea fans can vent, share laughs, and engage with each other. We have a small team of moderators who work diligently to maintain peace within this community - does that mean we get it right all the time? Probably not. Regarding @Ham questions, I don't know what the specific comments mentioned by @Proud-Blue and @thevelourfog were, therefore, I can't comment on what was or wasn't said at this point. We strive to moderate this community to the best of our abilities and with fairness. Our goal is never to police this space, and if anyone ever feels that way, we encourage them to let us know. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Maybe we should have the clown emoji 🤡for use when people reference politics to remind people to keep it light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in spirit Sciatika.... I know you would use it properly but I'm afraid it would used as an insult eventually, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
