The Transfer Threads Poll

[Woolly Blue]

Simple question.

We've been running with two transfer threads for a little while now, so this is your chance to feedback what you think.

I'll be honest, barring a massive vote to go back to one thread, I'm pretty sure we're sticking with two threads for this transfer window. But we'll look at any sensible feedback and try to incorporate any good ideas into subsequent transfer windows.

This thread isn't for having heated discussions with fellow posters. If you disagree with someone, then it's fine to say so, but if people look like they're coming to virtual blows over the subject, you're more likely to be infracted than thread banned, though you may well get both.

Most important thing, is to vote, especially the lurkers.

I think the 2 threads option is ace.... but why can't people understand the difference ? and why do they get all offended if somebody reminds them not to clog it up with what could be decent conversation in the right thread. It's really not hard to differentiate .

I'm being honest.

One thread managed properly should ok.

Stopped reading when I saw "sensible"

 

[ilikecheese]

2 threads because of the utter fume it causes the transfer thread weapons.

 

[Goat]

2 threads is perfect for me, but I would personally take a more aggressive stance with regards people going off topic in the "main" thread.

Not so much as thread bans, but more with moving posts to the speculate and then clearly if people dont listen, thread bans.

I realise this takes moderation time, so its just a suggestion like.

The offer of me modding that thread still stands.

People don't read stuff properly, especially when they've had a drink. Make the title on the jokey one so obvious that even someone bladdered knows what it is ?.

 

[ijjysmith]

And by 'managed properly' I don't mean by mods. I mean by us users.

Don't post bullshine.

Do post sourced stuff.

It shouldn't be that difficult.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Half the time I can't tell the difference between them to be honest, make more work for the mods really.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Let the official jarg and unofficial jarg ones continue and let someone trusted post to a third thread, a daily update of anything real that actually happened! You know, a one minute news at 10 bulletin to say that the breaking news is that there is no news.

You'd think...but for some bloody reason we have a load of people that can't seem to wrap their brain around that concept.

The new transfer thread is proof positive.

 

[Moomin]

I prefer one thread.

You're right, it shouldn't be that difficult
Unfortunately common sense is needed, and it's sadly lacking around here sometimes.

One thread.

Two threads gives you one thread filled with utter crap by people just trying to take the piss. The other one is 60% users going wum and trying to police the thread for laughs (or because they genuinely care, who knows) and 40% credible rumours.

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

either is fine as long as there is some consistency with banning people from the 'serious' thread.
single posts were permanent bans a week ago, now you have people continually off topic, or in the wrong thread. Hell you're actually warning people on there now as well wft??
