He was online just now, and I noticed the name.
New forum for football talk

Murphman is quality poster to be fair from time to time...
Yep, couldn't see his previous posts or threads so he must be in the newbies.
Why thank you
I always liked Murphman and Spammy (although the later needs a sense of humour!
), KFC was ok until his recent downslide, plus Davo can be fun to watch in action (before increasingly getting caught up in his own self-importance).The verdict: We have a bunch of fine dippers on the forum.I always liked Murphman and Spammy (although the later needs a sense of humour!
How about...
A serious football forum and then a general football forum
General would be for banter with rival fans, light debate and football stuff in general, were we could take the piss out of the scousers...
With the serious one being for decent football debate, and any feckwits being banned

I rate Murph and Spammy - I think there should be a separate forum for DJS though.
He could get into an argument with a urinal. All in all, the rival fans and the banter we have with them is what first persuaded me to join.

Davo's right. You're all spastics!
The trouble with this arrangement is that after a couple of months, there will be a hell of a lot of overlap, and the rules won't get followed, and eventually they will be merged back together
Not if the mods enforce bannings of feckwits
It should be given a chance at least

True, but I am of the opinion that the football forums should be 'purged' before other forums set up. I think we are heading down the route Davo proposed otherwise. The 'general' football forum, would, in my opinion, turn into just a 'general' forum, and we already have one of those
Yes, but this would be a general to talk about football in general
Not like the current general, we don't talk about football in there

No need.
Keep the current structure, otherwise the forum becomes too cluttered and spreed out. Just ban the dick heads, that's all that needs to happen.
The one thing that appealed to me most about this site was the symplicity of it, no avatars, no sigs, not cluttered in any way, a bare minimum of forums with all we need. You look at some forums and it is difficult to know where to post what and what is actually a post and what is just some crap ego bollox sig.
Keep it the way it is, just ban the fecknuts.
Without them it would be no fun
I'll remember you said that the next time one pisses you off
I didn't even think KFC was that bad personally ... he had a moment when we won the premo but he was getting back on track ...
If everyone was into serious football debate, how shit would this place be?
We need the spastics, well some of them anyway, for the general...
It's good to rip the piss out of them
The reasons I mentioned above
Well no, it's not. If it was there wouldn't be the huge number of spastics spamming up the forums
err from before...
The problem would then be the amount of duplicate threads there would be. You may be able to distinguish the difference but then will the spastics!?
(I made a mistake in the original post where it says 'general football thread' which of course should be forum!)
Actually Davo, it is working very well.
Since I was scouting before the new system was in effect, I can tell you it is a definite improvement. Oh, and the main point of the scouting system isn't to decide on which quality posters to promote, that's not the main reason we have it. It's to stop the complete wums and stop repeatedly banned posters from entering. As a second thought, we are meant to judge the quality of the poster to see them promoted.
That's not the newbie promoting system at fault at all, we just have to be a bit tougher now. Not to mention, many of the posters actually look quality when they are promoted, and then they turn into idiots when they get here, often because posters in the mains do not lead by example.
Can I be a scout?
It may be an improvement on something else, or working in some sort of capacity. However, it clearly isn't working in the sense of preventing rubbish posters being promoted to the new forums....
That's not the newbie system that is at fault for the rubbish posters, but us scouts and mods for promoting them.....Which is why we are changing the process and making it much tougher to break through.
That's what I said
The new system has been in place for only a couple of months. I think the quality of posters being promoted will improve over time.
You can't expect every poster that is promoted to be a great poster
They need time to develop into great posters
Most of the ones promoted have the potential

Let's feckin hope so
Not to mention the amount that get bullied on here when first promoted anyway as Marcos pointed out.
It's a two way process, you can't expect all newbies who are promoted to be instantly brilliant, when they are being taken the piss out of as well.

I still think some of the older/better posters should head right back in there and set an example. I'm going to devote more time myself (not that I'm suggesting I fall into either category), it's worth a shot!
Exactly the same here.
I reckon that's all that needs to happen, that and a bit of heavy moderating on the idiots.
i'm getting tired of all this argument, the senior posters know how to manage and they need no help, who really needs help are the newbies that come here and are wellcome like shit
and that's what we should do
and that's what we should do
this is a shite idea, to be honest. no poster here is capable of intelligent discussion. on anything.
S18 is bitter
Can I be a scout,please?
That's where everything went wrong.
Before you were here, it wasn't a floodgates thing, it let the quality though.
About a year ago, perhaps due to other events, we went loopy and started promoting anyone who could remember their password.
The quality bit should be first, as it was for a very long time before 2006.
As a scout you should be stuck in the newbies
