Footy fans left fuming as the MCG's new security crackdown leaves thousands in limbo

It was atotal shambles
They said come early because they're was likely going to be delays but they refused to open the gates any earlier
At gate 1, they had one security barrier open to start with then after 20 minutes they decided to open a further 2
But then the checking of bags took in my case a other 10 minutes, not kidding. I had to take everything even a packet of tissues put of my backpack and then prove to them I had taken everything out. Tipped it upside down and then the woman said "are you sure it's epmty" 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 WTF
Then I had to repack everything as the queue of people waiting for bag checks behind me was getting irate.
But the best bit. I took my brother-in-law yesterday. He's special needs (mental impairment) the woman checking my bag said to me "he can move through". I said "sorry no he can't he needs to stay with me I'm his carer". She said "he can't stand there". I repeated about being his carer and he's special needs, she said again he has to move. I said NO. She called over the supervisor, who to her credit after i explained everythi g was switched on enough and said he could stay with me.

Why don’t they have the same security at shopping centres and other events , office building, are the people who go different people from those who go to the footy or are the unelected media reacting solicitors just keeping true to form.

Some office buildings do have quite strong security measures in place. Having said that, there’s tons more office buildings and shopping centres than there are AFL grounds, the costs would be enormous. Especially given that people aren’t charged an entry fee to help cover the expenses.

Could it be the AFL and the MCG are more concerned about reputational damage and liability ( themselves) than the safety and effect on people. No difference if a crime is inside or outside the MCG for most punters and as mentioned if you own a property you make the entry rules .

I'm confused. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful or disingenuous but I really don't know why it would be removed. How did it break any rules exactly?

Simple
It was racist, disrespectful and not at all funny

What "race" did he mention exactly? :huh

Simple

So you can be racist and disrepectful as long as your funny?

WP got this one wrong, and I believe in the fullness of time will and should apologize.
Those 2 blokes who waltzed into the g with guns were muslin scumbags, AND were on bail.
That is as simple and factual as you can get.

Correct Frankie, low life scum but their race/religion is irrelevant
So why the need to make a joke about it using racism? Eg the use of "Islamophobic" and prayer rooms
And please don't let the incompetent security firm off here, they are as much to blame
And no, I won't be apologising
So you can be racist and disrepectful as long as your funny?
I'll let your little snide, bating comment go through to the keeper this time.

I disagree.
It wasn't racist one iota.
You need to read up on your definitions WP.
Also, if you don't have a sense of humour doesn't mean it isn't funny. It means you don't have a sense of humour.
Btw. The question was how did I break any rules exactly?
You'll have to explain it exactly please because I still don't understand how it can be viewed as racist and or disrespectful exactly?
P.S. This will be a bar you're setting for this forum and like the umpires in AFL you'll have to adjudicate the same every time, without the need for the "spectator" to remind you.
What's funny is how one doesn't have to be asked for you to judge when it's subjectively offensive to absolutely no one on this forum. :help
What "race" did he mention exactly? :huh
I didn't. :help

How can you suggest that "absolutely no one on this forum" was offended. Seriously, how would you know?
Suggest you read up on your definitions...
Why the need to drag in certain groups religious ideology and mock them , degrade them under the pretence of it being a joke?
You have done it previously and hindsight being a wonderful we probably should have taken action then. So that's on us and I'll wear that.
I've explained why it was removed, clearly you don't like the answer.

Amen brother Wayne
Can I get an hallelujah
This is Highly offensive to me as a Christian
Thing is...
What one person finds offensive another doesn't ... It's one of the great thing about living in democracy
Example
There's been alot of homophobic slurs that get have been posted on here that I find offensive
But the majority of them don't get removed... Why? Because (1) others don't find them offensove and I have to respect that and (2) sometimes leaving it says more about the person posting...on a number of levels
:whistle :shh

You didn't answer my question. How did I break any rules? And how was it racist?
It seems you didn't think it was funny and you personally found it offensive for some reason.
How? What was offensive about it to you? How did my post rile your heart? How were you impacted by it?
I was happy to have this discussion privately but you obviously want to keep this conversation going. :help

1/ You were the one who started this conversation on the forum rather than making it private.
2/ you say I didn't answer your question but funny how you didn't answer mine. I asked "How can you suggest that "absolutely no one on this forum" was offended. Seriously, how would you know?" You didn't answer that; you ignored it. You are basing your entire objection to your post being removed on my supposed view on it.
3/ How was it racist? You mocked, belittled and degraded a religious ideology by making a joke thinking it was funny. That is a form of racism. I'm glad Dio dredged up a post I made nearly 6 years ago as it actually highlights your hypocrisy. When people mocked Christianity; your religion you were offended. When you do it though; it's OK because it's funny, doesn't offend.
4/ Finally, you are correct I didn't find the post at all funny. But to suggest that your post was removed solely because of my views is drawing a very long bow. But whatever....

Good of you to bring this up. As I mentioned above it certainly highlighted the hypocrisy in the complaint about a post being removed.
And perhaps in hindsight I should have considered this "sometimes leaving it says more about the person posting...on a number of levels"

Well very true but I offered to have a private conversation and you decided to keep it public.
2/ you say I didn't answer your question but funny how you didn't answer mine. I asked "How can you suggest that "absolutely no one on this forum" was offended. Seriously, how would you know?" You didn't answer that; you ignored it. You are basing your entire objection to your post being removed on my supposed view on it.
Ok. I'm not absolutely sure no one was offended, but the general law of probability and this forums general makeup of members and getting a feel for the overall quality responses I deduced that there would be no one except the unfunny, virtue signalling, humourless, woke Nazi's moderator like yourself that would have been offended by my humorous attempt at satire. Also if it was racist to anyone why was the other post not removed? :shh or maybe no one was offended :shh :shh
3/ How was it racist? You mocked, belittled and degraded a religious ideology by making a joke thinking it was funny. That is a form of racism. I'm glad Dio dredged up a post I made nearly 6 years ago as it actually highlights your hypocrisy. When people mocked Christianity; your religion you were offended. When you do it though; it's OK because it's funny, doesn't offend.
I didn't mock anyone personally. A religion isn't a race. I didn't say anything about anyone's race one iota.
I posted a link to a national news service (abc news) that brought names to the alleged offenders. I used satire to try to get a laugh. Whether it was funny or not is completely subjective. Unfortunately the woke Nazi regime in this forum likes to delete posts and continue to allow other posts. This has been a pattern since I started here. Mine were deleted or edited but you continued to allow other forms of offensive content and only changed it because I called out the hypocrisy.
So am I hypocritical considering my stance, absolutely!
But I will wear it to stress the blatant double standards that suit the ridiculousness of the self righteous virtue signalling to suit a particular narrative but that couldn't actually give an actual crap about it when it's offensive to "Christians".
4/ Finally, you are correct I didn't find the post at all funny. But to suggest that your post was removed solely because of my views is drawing a very long bow. But whatever....
I'll have to take your word for it but I'm skeptical for the same reason you didn't delete other "offensive" post but clearly pick and choose.
If you just considered sticking to the stance you spoke about 6 years ago and were consistent about "living in a democracy" then maybe I just keep my mouth shut and live with the consequences of true "freedoms of speech" but that would mean nothing gets censored which would be absolutely fine by me as long as there was absolutely consistency across the board.

I’m not convinced that likening the moderators to the Nazis will aid anyone's argument that their posts are being unfairly deleted.

Here you go
To use the term nazi in any form is highly offensive to me. Yep me, is that what you were after?
But I'll let it slide because it's obviously made you feel better, maybe even vindicated
Don't really care to be honest, have a few more pressing things to deal with

Okay, I've been in Qld visiting family this past week and was time and access restricted to just simply posting news articles.
Sorry, but this bold comment especially is laughable given we as mods respected your own request long ago to not have the Lord's name used in vain on the forum because you told us it was offensive to you and your faith. Yet you now turnaround and insult us same mods calling us now "hypocritical" and "woke nazis" FFS ::) because we simply removed a single post that was against the guidelines (it was irrelevant to the footy topic as no religion was mentioned in that article so why bring it up?! Pretty sure it wouldn't have if the two idiots didn't have 'ethnic' names).
Anyway, I'm too peeed off today and won't be adding anymore to this thread.
