I would need about a thousand hands to count the number of times I have seen Celtic fans on this message board complain about "inconsistent" refereeing, and I don't recall any of them ever receiving a warning. While it is a little annoying, and maybe their team's board would be a better place to do the complaining, I don't see the major issue with fans of other teams doing the same.
Of course, if these posters have a history of trolling, then never mind.
This is the celtics board. I don`t care what they write on their`s but here no trolling should be allowed. IMO, the mods should be much more trigger happy about warnings...
I agree 100% about not allowing trolling, but I just don't think criticizing the refereeing qualifies as trolling. If a Celtic fan can say "hey, the officiating was kind of screwy in that game" and not be warned for trolling, I don't see why a Raptor fan can't say the same thing without repercussions. Just my opinion.
Still, I would take over-moderating over no moderating at all in a heartbeat, as I saw what a couple of trolls did to the ESPN Boston Celtic message board several years ago. Made it completely unusable, imo.
