just been browsing their board and they have got a thread up about saint georges day and the cardiff game and the pros and cons of showing how english you are when you go to the game! so far so good until the last few posts start on about asians and refering to them in a nasty rascist way, even one poster gloating about the 80,s and how he went out to beat them up! the thing that gets me is no-one on there has taken it down! im sure on here that sort of talk wouldnt last two minutes! still if they want to run a rascist web-site thats up to them i suppose! dont seem right to me!!!

Obviously the post was not posted here, the topic itself is a good one that is worth debate, it is always a shame when they get high jacked, I am sure the moderating team know what they are doing there, we can only moderate our own board, although it is self moderating most of the time really, and it is not fair to pass judgement on others, none of our business really.
could be worth a debate, but this title will just cause animosity.

I agree. It's not really our business the depths to which another board may sink. Although it's not exactly breaking new grounds.
It is of course our business who our beloved club associates with and give a imprimatur of legitimacy and respectability by that association.
One might also be somewhat surprised that those who also post on our site and issue critiques about certain threads remain silent about such things.
I know I read these rules somewhere...
"While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters....
"We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate community standards.
We also do not allow posts however worded relating to Football Violence."

There's rarely any need to moderate moderates.

Most of them I think are being sarcastic towards it and it's a running joke on there

Oh well, a job for their moderators to deal with Bowles. If they don't/can't clean up the threads that would be seen by users of that site as to the direction they, the Mods, want their site to go. Good luck to them. Onwards and Upwards?

Don't use that site if it's a problem But, more to the point, are they promoting some sort of objectionable behaviour, or just commenting on something that frequently happened back in the day? Forgive my laziness I've rarely ever bothered reading that board as erm... a couple of my nephews seem to be all over it!!!

A non-issue for me as I never visit the site.
I would suggest others do the same if it offends you.

And just to reiterate what I've noted before: If anyone who is "unable" (as opposed to "unwilling") to post on this board has a response to the above, they can certainly email it to me at qprreport@hotmail.com. And if appropriate, it will be posted.

Quite often the truth hurts. The accusations may try to be reflected back with no foundation or actual statement of fact, as is the general tactic of the desperately stupid, but honestly, no-ones buying that. Sad to see on any messageboard, particularly one connected to QPR. Shows how only a handful of posters and poor moderation can quickly show up a site for what it truly is. Shameful.
