As many of you know Phil Sumbler and I have known each other for many years going way back to the 90's. History aside in all our ventures we have remained good friends. Recent events on his and this site has resulted in us both agreeing that if we are good friends then both sites will also have the same relationship. After a lengthy conversation today we have agreed on numerous points. First off, the reason I took over this site was to influence advertisers and people to visit this site as its decline was evident. Phil had left Fansnetwork and now runs planet swans. I have one other reason for attempting to generate a small income from Fansnetwork. Proceeds will go to a charitable cause or causes. I will give you an example, my daughter has terminal brain cancer, she has four children and until being diagnosed worked all her life. Her husband continues to keep family life stable as the main breadwinner. To be able to give kids something to look forward to and assist with that financially (and that goes for anyone who benefits) is the main gift this site has. Both Phil and I agree we can both be beneficial to each other in that regard.
To bring new content to this site, things like Roger Freestone joining us can only help us moving forwards.
However, to encourage quality writers and to develop relationships with advertisers we need to show we are a professional but fun business. Advertisers will not pay for their company to be on this site if posters remain in the mode of abusing each other or brining up old wounds, creating an us and them environment with Phil's site and similar tactics. There is no us and them, this is a Swansea City site in the main, we have areas you can discuss any topic you like without resorting to provoking racial tension or using hate to promote a point of view. No advertiser or decent contributor wants to be associated with that, and neither do I.
90% of posts since I have taken over the site have been fine, clever, witty and informative and that's the way we are going to keep it. From today I am going to unlock all bans on this site and moderate it every few hours for a period of time. I also hope you can help by reporting anything that's abusive or threatening. On that point any thread causing division between the two sites will be taken down, any threats or issues promoting hate will result in the user being banned, permanently.
From this moment these rules have to apply, and they will apply to both websites at the agreement of both Phil and I. Whats gone before has gone, we want a flourishing and friendly environment on both websites, somewhere younger people can enjoy as well. However in the main we are all old enough to understand the basic rules of decency and not use swearing or words that are clearly modified as a swear word to be offensive.
On a very positive point the site has increased in members and visits by almost a quarter in just over a week, that's down to you supporting us and of course supporting the reasons why I run this site. There's more to come to make this a more successful reading experience on Fansnetwork and I look forward to your support as we do so.
Thank you all.
Update from responses
Both websites are completely independent, but we both agree neither will be used by certain others to promote hate between the websites or individual members. None of this should be confusing. Phil update his site later on today.

I’ve just spent 20 minutes reading through the threads on there and I’d just like to say,Jesus Holy Mother of God.
It’s absolutely staggering to see just about every thread about race.
I don’t want to stir the s**t up because I know Phil
and Keith Haynes are chums and Keith’s always been courteous to me but by f**k he’s got a job on his hands sorting that lot out.
Oh and it’s right what is said about Dimi on there too he’s nothing but a forum destroyer.
And whilst I’m here Perch needs to get help too,everything he says on the forum is the polar opposite to what he says on Twitter where he’s nothing but a Tory racist c**t. |  |

I think he's upset, as when he posted here, he'd make every thread about him | |

The text references 'Phil and I' where of course it should say 'Keith and I '. So what is the point of two websites with the same rules and principles?
Perhaps it is the Co op stores strategy of buying up another local store to stop Tesco Metro moving onto their 'patch' with alternative products. |
Probably a bit too deep. |  |

Not keen on Biden or Trump, however the Don will get 4 more years, and once the result is in and due to the new love being distributed on this thread i will be one of the first posting to see how you are.  | | | |

Well said Keith.
So sorry to hear about your daughter, I feel your pain, I really do. |  |

Keith has asked us all to refrain form making comments that would cause divide between the sites and especially individuals.
Its not easy for me but it's worth the effort.
If people want to defame others then they wont be doing it on this site and that' good enough for me.
I have read that thread however and its entirely predicable

The 2 have the ability to post on here, let them respond, if they have the balls to. I'd like to hear what they have to say and why they're posting it over there and not here. | |

I have taken exception with what you posted a regards my twitter account but that s over as far as Im concerned,except to add that sometimes I am a shocking wind up merchant and I enjoy ensnaring those mugs who believe eveything that is posted. Its my warped pleasure I ll admit that as every time I see a reaction it gives me a warm glow.
Ive met several posters in the flesh and not one has had the guts to ay anything untoward to my face,which is the point you make,which is fair. | |

If jaxs feels that way about here, then why post then report back to PS HQ.
Thought the other site was aligned with this as regards causing friction between the two. Frankly,that is one way. This site is miles ahead in every way. | |

yes @Cat, thats the one... do us a favour and remove the link, don't want to help them with Google now do we, saying that, this thread will no doubt treble their daily hits as it is.
The problem is @oneh they're too thick to put up a decent argument and they just drag our clubs forums thru the gutter | |
