Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“If they allowed it last year and originally for this tournament then I find the security argument a bit hard to believe,” Evain said. “It shows water is unfortunately still seen as a commodity but it’s not, it’s a matter of health. We don’t know how expensive a bottle of water will be inside the stadium because no prices have been published.

“Fifa explained previously that part of their response to the heat risk was the water bottles. So what does it mean now to take it away, and what mitigation measures are they taking? It’s already a very expensive World Cup. People will look for alternatives or just not drink water when they should.”
