Ragey Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 A quick reminder to anyone who calls themselves RBB. WE DO NOT TALK TO ANY FORM OF MEDIA FULL STOP. Doesn't matter if it's face to face, on the phone or via email... you do NOT do it! Regardless of what they say or offer, we don't trust them so we don't talk to them. Thank you.
Ragey Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 The mainstream media are lying scum who only care about making $. If you truly have love for the RBB it's best to avoid them all together. They may have the power to promote what we have built but they have to power to destroy it even quicker, as they have proved time and time again in the past. If you think otherwise, in my own opinion, your a fool.it was us, the supporters that have created the reputation and atmosphere that we all love... not the media.
FairPlay Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 If the media approaches you; there are only 2 words you need to remember: NO COMMENT
mack Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Admin: Today I banned a member of the media from the site. That person from the media made threats to 'run comments from the forum', implying that he would paint the RBB in a negative light due to our treatment of the media. So note, even if you think someone is from a 'nice' part of the media, that doesn't make them immune to trying to twist your words or that they have an agenda. Update. After discussions with various people I have removed the name of the person from the media involved, as well as references to who they work for. This issue may have been a misunderstanding/communication breakdown, but it serves as a reminder that dealings with the media can very quickly take a turn for the worse, and impact on the relationships between supporters inside not just the RBB but with the rest of the Wanderers supporters & club. From this moment on I will not even pass on messages from the media to anyone. They will be deleted outright. Anyone who has the respect of the RBB and is someone we want to talk to will have other ways to contact the RBB leaders directly. Anyone who is contacted by the media directly through the forum should forward the personal message to me to be dealt with. I've also cleaned the thread. To anyone who has had their posts removed do not take it personally, it does not imply your posts were wrong/incorrect or not wanted by me. If you have any issues contact me. One final note is that people should remain wary about what they post here, as this isn't the first incident of people in the media using quotes from the forum or potentially using quotes from the forum in their stories. It would have happened after the Campbelltown incident if the site hadn't crashed under the load, and could easily have happened here. Thanks.
