I'd be interested to know how many active members they have left? I don't see why anyone would bother with all those rules but to each his own.

I was banned for saying Sherwood was a cancer at the club. If I had said negative influence that would have been fine. But I broke the rule "Do not use terms that relate to illness or disability, e.g 'cancer', 'retard', to describe someone who is not suffering from those medical issues. Using those words inappropriately causes unnecessary distress to COYSers whose loved ones have faced, or who currently are facing, these major challenges."

Fair enough I suppose as it was a rule that I broke. But COYS mods really are the Velvet Fascists of the Spurs forum world.

COYS mods are better than Glory Glory mods though. Glory Glory used to be a great board but the last few years it's turned to absolute turd. Mainly down to the owner having an irrational hatred of Redknapp and then employing like minded mods. Caused a real bad feeling on the board and generated a them and us mentality. They then started handing out the banning stick like the church would hand out chastity belts to nuns assisting at a sex addict clinic (and if you were pro-Redknapp it didn't take much for you to get banned). The most hilarious thing was a mate of mine, from work, got banned from the site because they thought he was me! o_O. I wasn't actually banned (I had quit the site some weeks earlier as I'd had enough) but then they decided to ban my account also and rename his posts to my name. :facepalm:.

Got to say I am really enjoying SC so far. The right level of disagreement and passion but generally everyone debates in a civilised manner.
I remember that post about Sherwood. Fucking hilarious. Also lots of "ITK's" who knew fuck all, but God forbid you should say that.

Most over moderated site I have ever come across.

Got banned for referring to a few member as sheep because they all sucked up to the site owner, this was in a private message to a mod and not on the forums, so my opinion never even saw the light of day on the forums.

Generally forums are there for people to express their opinions, opposing or otherwise. Opinions over there are moderated which is not really the reasons we have online forums. I'm not really sure why they do that but at the end of the days its their forums and their rules but I feel the world of Spurs fans is a better place for havin SC forums on which to post.

tried to sign up when I was first looking for a spurs forum. I got about halfway through the ridiculous application they require before realizing it was a gigantic fucking waste of time and closed out. Probably would've gotten banned anyways though.

I'm by no means a regular poster here, but I came over from Jol's Secret Garden. Anyone else come from there or know what happened to the forum?

um... did he touch you inappropriately "in the secret garden" :cautious:

Thread motivated me to look through my emails and remember why I was banned.

I was banned on May 14th 2013 until September 3 for asking 'is Bale out, please say no' in a match thread after I saw a rumour on Twitter from a journo.

Said I was a 'WUM'.

COYS has a useful guideline
'Play the ball not the man' but they stick to the letter of their many laws
and forget the spirit.
On ftl they spend a lot of time playing the man
but it's a small site and they all seem to know each other, so whatever.
Good balance on here, usually done in good humour
but usually deserved if not and appropriate on occasions.

Spurs Odyssey forum is also a joke moderator wise. Paul Smith writes great match reports but ......

There is one advantage COYS has over SC IMO (please don't ban me, mods, greatest respect & all that! ;)) and that's that it's completely closed.

Thought here was too when I joined up hence I used my real name :-( can one change ones username?
