Think there's confusion over what's allowed generally. Some of the mods say short responses are allowed (which makes sense), while others will thread ban people for that. Think a fair few of us were temp banned today for the short tweet-like responses we thought were allowed.
Done.
Good man, thanks, makes it easier now.
So they read this tweet and are excited or dismayed and... Nothing. Not allowed to have a reaction. If only there was a site dedicated to tweets and not a forum's reaction to tweets. Like twitter.com, but for tweets
Don't try and be a smart arse. Lots of different people on here follow lots of different twitter accounts and in the tweets only thread we get a great collection of tweets that are relevant to Manchester United fans. You don't get that by just browsing twitter, especially when a good lot of people on here have a good idea about who the more trustworthy accounts are.
Thats exactly the idea behind twitter. That you would follow these people and have a hub for all this news you wanted. I dont understand how someone can be a fan of all these tweets but not want to use the site behind it all. I actually dont have a twitter because I've never been a fan of all the tweets, but I cant see how someone who is a fan wants another website to be twitter for them. Explain?
Twitter is a veritable minefield of shite. However, there are some trusted/semi trusted sources on there that bring us some good transfer news. A lot of the twitter users on here have a good idea of who to follow and post any relevant tweets for the rest of us.
Maybe people don't want to be checking twitter all the time and having to browse through all the shit tweets?
Would you like your money back ?
Now comments are ok, but in the Twitter Discussion thread only.
Can you please lift my ban for the twitter thread. Got banned for one line comment to a tweet.
We've amended to avoid confusion with a thread for special Twitter chat so people can now discuss as much as or little as they like. The Tweets Only thread is now for Tweets Only.
Yes agreed. The two threads should work well if both are used as intended.
Done. Have removed thread bans from the ones I did. Please observe the rules of the thread going forward
Thanks.
What was wrong with the old system is we have posters who want just tweets and no comments so they can catch up on what's happening without the chit chat. We also have posters who want to be able to react to tweets and have normal discussions about their implications. To accommodate both groups, we've created two separate threads. It sounds like you're in the latter category so just use the Twitter discussion thread.
I don't care too much about the tweet discussion thread as I agree it's pretty similar to the January transfer window thread. The tweets only thread is great though. Much easier to quickly see major (or minor...or complete bs) updates.
