Maybe we should just scrap the football chat altogether and turn this into a knitting forum

Reading this over again. I think ALL members should get the privilege to post anywhere until it is taken away from them for abusing the rules

Make it something like this ::: in the team forums there are two types of forums.... One where only fans of that team can comment.... And another where everyone can comment and abuse.... !

No way, that's way to restrictive! But I like what ant suggested, maybe add in comments, because a guy could be a member for 3 months, but he still could be a troll, so what about the amount of comments, but then again, people will make comments like this:

"Chel$ki are s**t"

Lol dunno

Or at least make it so they can't post in chats for teams they have listed as their rivals

Make it so only fans of a certain team can post on that particular team's chat. It would cut down on all the moronic comments from rival team fans, and it also makes sense. Why is a Manchester United fan posting on Liverpool chat, or why is a Chelsea fan posting on Arsenal's chat in the first place? They can all post/argue in the Premier League chat if needed, instead of trolling eachother's team chats
