Lfc.tv to reduce message board opening hours
Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2004 3:44 pmLiverpoolfc.tv would like to inform all fans of forthcoming changes to our online Message Boards.
Liverpoolfc.tv takes its legal responsibilities to users extremely seriously and, for this reason, has always ensured that our Message Board service is fully moderated by a professional 3rd party moderation company.
However, the ever-increasing volumes of messages posted on the boards mean that the costs associated with moderating the content have spiralled to unsustainable levels. That being the case, we have had to take the decision to reduce the Message Board opening hours from the current 13.5 hours a day, to 6 hours a day.
These changes will NOT affect the e-Season Ticket forum (used by e-Season Ticket holders). This forum will continue to be open for the extended hours (9.30am - 11.00pm, 7 days a week).
From 2nd January, non e-ST forums will be open as follows:
Non-match-days: 10am - 1pm / 4pm - 7pm
Weekend match-days: Open KO time minus 2 hours / Close KO time plus 4 hours
Weekday match-days: 10am - 1pm / Open KO time minus 1hr / Close KO time plus 2hrs
We appreciate that many fans will be disappointed at the reduction in opening hours and we regret that it has been necessary. However, in the current environment, an unmoderated, or unprofessionally moderated, Message Board is not something we are able to consider. We did not want to charge for access and so this left reduced hours as the only viable way of controlling costs.
We do hope that, despite the reduced hours, the Message Boards will continue to be an active, vibrant and useful forum that can be enjoyed by all fans.
