In recent months there have been a number of inappropriate posts referring to people who have a disability.

These show this forum, our club and it's fans in a bad light.

There are people on this site, less fortunate than others who are in this position or they have relatives similarly placed.

Many posts of this type have been deleted, but they still continue to appear.

A line in the sand has now been drawn, and these posts will no longer be tolerated.

Only low-life scum do something like that.

They better hope that their posts get deleted prior to decent posters finding out, otherwise they'll cop a barrage towards them.

I also say first delete (as a warning), then hit them with the ban stick if they do it again.

Thanks for your support Wahesh.

Let‘s hope the message gets across and we never have to ban anyone for this.

I missed this Mods but I'm very very impressed. Bravo to you all for putting this out there as it's ridiculous to use disabilities to bash others.

Hats off to all of you
 
As a father of 2 sons with special needs I appreciate this. Honestly there have been a couple of times that I have read stuff on here that makes me go I don’t know why I bother. Come here to escape some times so don’t need to be reminded of stuff. Not saying this as a woe is me post but to put a face to some of the things people have said and I am sure I am not the only one here.

Thanks Mods for all you do. No easy task and a thankless task but I certainly appreciate you guys!!

I'm with you mate and know how you feel.

My daughter has Down Syndrome and seeing people constantly posting pics of DS people as a tool to belittle someone else ...

Society is fucked up, so it's good to come on here for a good laugh and get away from things sometimes.

Credit to the mods for saying something and keep your chin up with it all. I like to believe that most of the time it's just plain ignorance more than anything else

Sorry to hear that Tassie. I like to think it is ignorance but with the way the world is going these days I am not so sure. Either way should never be something that is joked about!!

All my pics are carefully selected and screened as stoners 8-)

Congrats my man. DS people are truly beautiful people and will be for all their lives. And no idea why you're getting offended about others posting DS shite - you're the one who's blessed. End of the day, someone that needs to belittle what they think is funny has more issues than your daughter by a country mile. And your daughter has no issues. If the entire world was DS it would be a much better place.

You're a lucky man. Fck the rest of em.
 
Hopefully you target posts about “taking your meds” , anti depression slurs as well and not just the one word that’s the flavour of the day.

I’ve pointed it out several times mate. It’s unnecessary and not nice, but tbh a lot of gross stuff gets said on here, that is related to sex, appearance etc. I’m guilty of some of that too, but certain posters go over the top with it.

I get we like to unwind and act however we feel on TK but there’s even overt racism on here, which can’t be ignored, so I don’t even bother reporting because obviously the mods are ok with it.

We all should be better. It might just be online but we know these words are being used by people. What’s that saying? You shouldn’t say things online, that you wouldn’t say in person. Something like that.
 
Honestly I'm still mad I can't say nice guy

There's a lot needs cleaning up really. Some if it is just pure filth at times sadly and detrimental to the Club.

Oh please. No offence.

It isn't detrimental to any club.

Soon people will want to sing kumbaya before posting.

I know, I swear too much, I have sort of cut it down. That's just me.

Men say sexist things, so do women.

People have taken offence to what I have posted & said it was about them & it wasn't about them.

I haven't seen any pure filth on here. And I post everywhere.

I post in the funny pics, to get away from people. Maybe that's where the sexist things are said.
