Please Read - Frivolous Websites

[GrandOldTeam]

I'm sure a fair few of you will be pleased to hear that we'll be taking a zero tolerance approach and removing any new threads started solely on the merit of what the following have reported;

Censored Frivolous Websites

• Goal
• Daily Mail
• Tribal Football
• Metro
• Fanatix
• TalkSport
• The People
• FootyLatest

We will be adding more to the list. In time, any new thread with a link to any of our 'censored websites' will be automatically filtered from view.

Please reply with recommendations to add to our 'censored websites'. Websites which in your view, repeatedly peddle bollocks.

This evening we've had a couple of fans create new threads on Coleman moving to Liverpool - on the back of this steaming pile of crap;

http://www.fanatix.com/news/everton-to-consider-selling-8m-star-to-bitter-rivals-liverpool-199/

We then notice people elsewhere saying "I read on GrandOldTeam that Seamus Coleman is going to Liverpool......"

Let's not allow fellow Blues to become agitated and add weight and credibility to absolute nonsense!

Cheers

So are we seriously banning transfer rumours from loads of sites? Am I the only one who still finds this bizarre?

Rumours from jarg sites making stuff up for advertising hits is no loss is it lid?

Gash site, yes.. How's that bizarre?

I hope that includes the transfer-rumours site, the worst of the lot by far! Its good for comedy mind!
Sorry if its been mentioned by the way!

Because it will be weird being on an Everton site that decides what is worthy enough to be discussed? Laugh at the stupidity of certain rumours by all means.

So when does a rumour become worthy? Who decides that? Just saying like it all seems a bit superiority complex to me.

It just causes grief mate and encourages loons.

Defensively she is good at plugging up hole's and denying offensive penetration.

I don't see it like that at all mate, just swerving tedious pointless stories that whips some up into a frenzy.

I'm glad about this. Been asking for a ban on rumours from most of them sites for ages. Sick of TRANSFER RUMOUR: threads only to click on it and see one of them linked in the OP.

Like I say, it gets laughed off so what? If by some weird turn of events it becomes true does that make whichever site reputable again?

Whatever lids, it makes no real odds to me I just don't understand it and don't think it's necessary.

If we had money and were spending like most other teams i doubt there would be a ban on them. I think its out of general frustration with all things Everton and seeing newbs or certain posters putting up such drivel that puts people over the top.

 

[chicoazul]

Fair enough lid. I don't see it as all that to be fair, other than a benefit to the site.
