Site rules and infraction points

There are a number of new functions on this board and the administrators have been discussing how best to use them since we moved here. Please take the time to read the site rules below and how we will be applying infraction points from here on. If you have any questions about the site rules or infraction points please PM a member of the admin team.


This site operates infraction points which work a bit like points on a driving license. Breaking the site rules will result in infraction points being issued. Below are the infraction points that you can expect to earn for breaking the site rules.

10 points – minor violation - niggling, taking threads off topic, carrying on disputes across threads, taking the man not the ball, frivolous reporting of posts, arguing with administrator actions (expires after two months)
30 points - medium violation - breaking the site rules
100 points – major violation - sustained, repeat or aggravated violation of the site rules

Below are the punishment that will result from hitting set infraction point limits

30 infraction points – one day ban
60 infraction points - one week ban
90 infraction points - one month ban
120 infraction points - permanent ban


1. - Personal Attacks
While you have the right to disagree strongly with any poster on any point, personal attacks will not be tolerated. This includes replying to call another poster an obscene name, posting hostile rumours about a person, targeting a poster with numerous negative comments, posting pictures of a poster which cause offence to the person in question and anything else agreed upon by a majority of administrators as constituting a personal attack.

Please note banter between posters is fine, the aim here is to prevent unwelcome attacks which add a negative and hostile environment to the board and any individual poster. If a thread is locked because it's got out of hand please do not carry on your arguments into another one. This is a forum for everyone, not your own personal battleground.

Also we will not tolerate any attacks regarding race, creed, colour, religion or sexual orientation. Any infringements of this kind will be treated as a major violation.

2. Libellous Statements
Remarks which could cause Scaramanga or the admin team to be the recipient of a libel lawsuit will not be tolerated. Accusations which are made without facts or evidence have previously resulted in contact from legal teams on behalf of those accused and could lead to the forum being sued for damages. We like to think that we promote free speech here, but recent changes in UK law have led to libel suits being taken out against forums and we do not want this repeated with Glory Glory - it would mean the end of the site. Defamatory or damaging remarks are the responsibility of the poster and the admin team so please think before you post - we are monitored by clubs, media monitoring companies, PR agencies and agents so your harmless banter could easily end up viewed by the wrong people and we are legally required to provide details which would make you traceable by the authorities.

3. - Avatars
This site is a site open for use to Spurs supporters of all ages including children. It is also used extensively by people in the workplace. For these reasons avatars are not allowed to contain nudity or obscene/sexually explicit content. This includes cartoons.

Provocative avatars which may lead to arguments on the board or result in threads going off topic are not permitted.

Complaints about unsuitable avatars should be PM'd to an admin who will decide what further action to take. If an avatar is agreed to be unsuitable the member in question will be asked to change the avatar, if the avatar remains unchanged then avatars will be disabled for that member.

4. - Links To Streaming Sites
We have been informed by the club that it is illegal for us to promote/advertise links to streams for games. It is against the site rules to post or request links to streaming sites. If anyone sees it please mention it to an admin and they will delete the thread.

5. - WUM and trolls
The admin team regularly receive complaints about people seeking to winding up other posters, repeatedly posting the same thing across multiple threads or posting unsubstantiated inflammatory comments/opinions. This ruins the enjoyment of this board for many. If you suspect that a poster is acting as a wind up merchant or trolling then please report examples to the admin team. The admin team will consider the matter and if the majority agree then they will PM the poster and warn them about their future conduct. Failure to comply with this warning will result in the poster being put on post moderation. Acts of trolling are designated as such by the opinion of the admins. These are not open to debate and if your behaviour is continually detrimental to the quality of the board we will take action.

6. - Adverts/Scams/Affiliate schemes/etc
There is no place for any of this in our forums. Please do not post anything to do with the above without the explicit permission of an admin. If anyone sees it please mention it to an admin and they will delete the thread.

7. - Tickets.
The resale of tickets to football matches is an offence under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. The club monitor this site to ensure that we do not breach this law. Please do not offer to sell, lend, swap or give tickets, membership or season tickets on this site. It is also against the forum rules to ask if people have tickets, season tickets or membership that you can borrow, buy or swap.

8. - Abuse of Post Reporting
Genuine reports of posts which break site rules are welcomed by the admin team but the abuse or frivolous use of the tool is against site rules. It wastes the admin team's time and is in effect spamming the board.

9. - Complaints about an Admin's Actions
We as administrators are not perfect. However, if you feel that you have been harshly treated the public forums are not to be treated as your personal venting space to attack a single admin or the admin as a whole.

Complaints about an admin's actions should be PM'd to another admin who will decide what further action is required. If an administrator agrees that the action taken was unfair then the admin in question will be warned and a public apology issued. Continued unnecessary actions from the admin will result in a removal of admin status.

Note to all new members
Everyone who signs up to this forum automatically goes on post moderation for a period of time to weed out wind up merchants and spam. You will have your moderation lifted after a few posts when we determine your intentions. Please bear with us on this, your posts have been made and when an admin is available we will approve them.
