Rule #1Just be nice, dont be a d#~k!!
That’s really the whole thing. Everything below is just Rule #1 with the details filled in.
The rest of the braai rules
- Banter yes, abuse no. Chirp the ref’s eyesight, the bench split and your mate’s pap. Don’t go after a person: no insults, threats, bullying or piling on.
- No swearing. We know, we know. Not even the Afrikaans ones, and no, putting stars in the middle doesn’t count. Our filter speaks fluent Saffa.
- No politics or race stuff. Not on this braai. Every colour, every language, one pack. Anything that goes there gets held or removed.
- Be lekker to the other side’s fans. Rib the result, respect the people. No nasty stuff about other nations, their players or their supporters.
- No spam, selling or links. Comments with links get held for the ref. No ads, no “DM me”, no dodgy streams, ever.
- No personal info. Not yours, not anyone else’s. No phone numbers, emails, addresses or private messages.
- Keep it on the rugby, the braai and the gees. And keep it short: 600 characters is plenty, boet.
- The ref’s decision is final. We can hold, hide or remove anything, any time, without a TMO review.
Cards
Yellow card
Your comment trips the filter (swearing, links, politics, SHOUTING) or three fans flag it. It goes to the sin bin until the ref has a look. If it’s fine, it comes back on.
Red card
Abuse, hate, slurs or spam. The comment goes, and the ref can red-card that account (and connection) from commenting again. No appeals to the crowd.
How it works
- Clean comments go up straight away. Anything the filter doesn’t like waits for a human: “Eish, the ref’s checking this one.”
- See something that breaks the rules? Hit “Flag to the ref” under it. Three flags from different fans and it comes off the field until we check it.
- Three comments per ten minutes, per fan. Even Faf needs a breather.
- Register to comment. Reading is open to everyone, but to chirp you join the scrum once: a display name, your email (never shown) and your country. Ticking the braai rules box when you join means you’re signed up to Rule #1. A new fan’s first two comments go past the ref before they show; after that you’re straight on. What we keep and why is in the privacy notice.
- Your display name and country show next to your comments. You can delete your account any time with the “Delete my account” link under the chirp box.
- Want something you wrote taken down, or think the ref got it wrong? Use the contact form on the Join page.
