Media TiFmedia Presents... Sweet FA Three Things I Learnt This Week - Season 35 Etiquette Edition

[NaturalDisaster]

Basically, its kinda like the difference between league admin abuse and mod abuse. With league admin abuse, you’re essentially abusing a persona, not the person behind it. Admin does a lot of behind the scenes work, but they still play a character. Mods, on the other hand are volunteers who enforce the rules of the site, not characters.

Captains are more like the admin in this example and simmers the mods. Purely volunteers doing a service, not personas.

Is it poor form when the losing Captain doesn’t return to the Match Thread to congratulate their opponent?

I thought it was an unwritten etiquette rule that both captains should thank the OP / thread host and acknowledge the opposition.
Maybe it needs to become a written rule ? Week off of you cross this line in the sand ? What say you damicky ?

manangatang showed you cheese appreciation (maybe a bit too much) even gave you good advice for sock ventilation!
The perfect gentleman captain

Well that didn’t go to plan.

Not to worry Demons, we go eat cheese.

Thank you for a nice Round 1, Wonders. May all your socks have holes at the toes.

We played a team who's captain only turned up on the weekend and only spoke to a couple of people, so in answer to your question no captains don't have to do anything.

I should have clarified that I wasn’t referring to yesterday’s match between the Wonders & Demons

It was a general question about etiquette in the Sweet FA

What about their other Captain?

 

[JyeDye]

Captains, the most oppressed people of the Sweet FA.

 

[Robertio]

A great bloke love his style he is the real captain.

There’s no rules about etiquette, we used to do this when we lost and then have beers together later. Much later.



Good times

admins. mods. simmers. captains. theyre all people with feelings ND. not everyone is used to a use and abuse culture like many veterans here seem to be. not sure how youre differentiating them all..

The abuse/banter aspect of this board has always been about personas. You’re supposed to attack the persona, never the person behind it.

Problem with this place is there is too many that can’t differentiate between the two and have zero distinction between their irl self and sfa self.

The line that we are not supposed to cross is attacking the person instead of the persona

Unfortunately, a few Players don’t follow this rule

Are you talking about the ones that hand it out or are on the receiving end?

Or both??

yeah i 100% agree. my point im trying to raise it to stop expecting captains to be hardened war criminals and accepting they may be emotional and vulnerable too. i do really appreciate what KP did with the mental health references. brilliant work recognising what issues may arise from a board where we abuse/banter with eachother.

I feel like we are straying from the point of discussion here.

Its pretty good now compared to what it was 12 seasons ago, you get the odd personal attack, but its dealt with quick.

bum bum face

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I will also point out that the reason there is anti simmer abuse rule is because an ex simmer was once relentlessly targeted for seasons after he simmed his team to a grand final (didn’t even cheat either apparently). Simmers can’t sim their own teams now, but its still why its there

 

[NaturalDisaster]

bum bum face

Grade 1 level insults don’t work on me

Toddlers are psychopaths.

Luckily they’re also too weak to follow through.
