Community Guidelines

The short version: Arseradio is the pub for fans who don't have one. Talk like you're in a pub you'd want to stay in: passionate, funny, blunt about football, decent to people.

The rules

Football arguments yes, personal attacks no. Call a performance a disgrace; don't call a person one. Abuse, harassment, hate speech, slurs, or threats directed at anyone — players, refs, other fans — get messages hidden and accounts removed.
No links to unauthorized streams. One strike. Links to pirated streams are removed and repeat sharing ends your account. This rule protects the platform's existence; it is not negotiable.
Rival fans are guests, not targets. Opposition supporters are welcome. Wind-ups are football; pile-ons are not. The vote buttons exist so you can disagree without flooding the chat.
Flags are for conduct, votes are for opinion. Downvote takes you disagree with. Flag only content that breaks these rules. Coordinated false flagging is itself a violation.
On air, the room hears you. Calling in is live broadcasting, recorded as part of the show. The commentator can end any call at any time.
No spam, scams, or self-promo flooding. Sharing your relevant blog or pod: fine. Posting it every five minutes: not.
Zero tolerance: no doxxing, no content sexualizing minors, no incitement, nothing illegal. Immediate removal, reported where required.
