well it isn't really, but that's not what is really being discussed, is it ?

there is either going to be two read only threads - 1 for ITK, 1 for Newspaper/Websites or just the one for all ITK + rumors. then there will be a discussion thread for all talk on what's being added to the threads above

You've basically re-worded what I've been suggesting all along (1 sticky + 1 discussion thread) so perhaps better to leave it at that
 
Additional comment update from previous:

As long as there's 1 read only, I literally couldn't give a fudge if there's one or twenty discussions and nobody else does either. Ironically it's the forum nature I despise, I just don't care for opinions on transfers. I just want to boil it down to the bones.

Someone reckons Villa is coming in? That's nice - when he signs ill hand out a cookie to the fudging oracle who 'predicted' a millionaire with enormous marketing rights and an interest in telling everyone was moving club.

****s
 
IMO just have a "I hate ITK thread" and then all other rumours, gossip can be discussed without interruption in another thread.

There was a post the other day to which Poster A said "He is full of brick"
Poster B said "I was gonna say he was full of brick, you beat me to it."
Poster A then said "Yes, he is full of brick. isn't he?"
Poster B then said "I agree"
Poster C then posted ":ross:"
Poster A then replied "He posted brick on August 12 2009"
Poster B the said "I remember that brick he posted. He really is full of brick, isn't he?"
Then poster D says "That ****, that ****. I fudging hate that ****. I would kill that **** with my bare hands if I could"

Why do people feel the need to do that?
 
Every bit of 'information' is analysed and discussed - no different to newspaper articles, etc.

Why are people so overly sensitive about this anyway - I've never seen complaints over newspaper article 'negativism' - Sun, DM, etc.

Most of the time it simply outlines the galactical impossibility of those statements anyway - using elementary logic, reason and above average knowledge of football

Unless of course - they ARE some of those twitter legends playing the long con and knocking one out in the process over the mass hysteria it causes - i.e AgentQUNTITK, etc.

When all that is in the middle of a perfectly reasonable debate about a particular subject, then yes, that is bloody annoying.

If, however, there was a dedicated thread for that type of brick, then we could all have the choice of avoiding it where necessary.

Personally, I found it annoying. There wasn't much analysis going on, just a handful of people saying the same thing about the same people day after day. I don't think it added anything to the debate.

That said, if people want to get their jollies saying @madeupITK is a qunt every day then I wouldn't want to stand in their way. Which is why I think a no comment thread and a general discussion thread are a good idea. I also like the idea of a sub forum where we can have threads on individual players and discuss them in detail without it getting lost in a mega thread.

Is it still a rule that you can't claim someone on this site is an itk or anyone else for that matter? i specifically remember you telling me that it's against the site rules to refer to a poster as another poster/itk etc etc when i used to refer to Rossi as Jjetset?

Why do you need to infer that someone is JJetset? What does that add to the discussion?

There is a rule about targeting another poster with negative comments, rumours etc. I just don't see why we can't just stick to talking about the info posted. We'd like to encourage people to post info they come across, not make them feel unwelcome.

It wasn't malicious targeting and i don't think even rossi took it seriously. Besides why do you continuously need to infer 'Push and run' is Moonlit? even if you know he is what does it add to the discussion? he hasn't abused anyone or said anything out of line yet you still feel the need to refer to him as Moonlit on quite a number of occasions.

My question was whether it's against site rules so i know what to expect come January.

'Push and Run' obviously has some agenda about people not treating AVB and Redknapp in the same way and is bordering on being a WUM IMO. He's not here to debate, but to prove certain points and changes his views and twists facts to suit his argument. Even pretending to never have read this forum before when it's so obvious who he is. I think people should know, so that they don't take his bait and we end up having the same useless anti/pro arguments we've had dozens of times before.

We already know you don't like ITK and I think most can tell that Rossi isn't JJetset, but why keep repeating it?

So far 'push and run' hasn't shown that he has an agenda. if he eventually does then so be it but as of right now he hasn't said anything Imo that could be considered as WUM (you would have took action if he did). Just because you disagree with him it doesn't mean he's a WUM and so what if he's pretending to not have read the forum rules. You think continuously saying Push and run is moonlit will stop people taking the bait? all that will happen is they take the bait more being that a mod is all but confirming it's Moonlit.

What's funny is i used the example of people continuosly claiming spursfan1957 was Moonlit when Milo pointed out that i was breaking the forum rules when i refered to Rossi as Jjetset. Milo said that was also against the rules but he hasn't seen people do it. For the last 2 days all i've read is people (mostly you and a few others) refer to Push and run as Moonlit so i'm right to assume this isn't again site rules anymore (being that 2 mods have done it).

I just want to get this confirmed now on here so i'm aware of what i can and can't do during the particular thread. oh and btw when i was refering to Rossi as Jjetset i honestly thought it was either him or someone that knows him.
 
subforum please. i want to be able to discuss potential players, put lots of -----------------formations------------ in and jazz like that, which isnt really liked much in the big catchall thread.

cheers for the hard work.

The big difference here, of course, is you accused Rossi of being someone not associated with this forum.
We are outing someone who has multiple accounts (against the rules) and did the big strop off under his original name, but has crept back and is trying to con everyone.

Bit different isn't it?
