Football is about glory, it is about doing things
Redcafe is going to shit. It's a shadow of the place it used to be, and this largely comes down to 2 problems

1) Each new set of mods is a downgrade on the previous set - thy get worse and worse. I mean, Karan mittal is a mod for fecks sake. Could the caf go any lower?

2) The fetish for stopping posters from starting new threads. It kills discussion when youre only allowed to post at the end of pre-existing 250 page threads full of the same gimps having circular arguments.

Can we please sort this shit out?

Many thanks for nothing, gimps.

HELLO
You posted a thread for a deal that hasn't been officially confirmed, what were you expecting?

Two makes sense. One is ad hominem. What's wrong with KM? (other than the fact that you could guess all his posts :P)

This isn't going to end well for the OP.

I'd say that he's really gone and Dunne it this time.

Why not PM the powers that be and express your disappointment at how the forum is run?

Making new threads is encouraged when it is necessary (see the 'Hazard attacks ballboy' as a good example, better having a separate thread for that than bumping the 'Eden Hazard' one). I've seen some stupid thread bumps from people thinking that making new threads isn't allowed and I don't know where they get that impression from.

That Zaha watch thread wasn't needed - mainly because a deal hasn't actually been done yet. When the deal is done go ahead and make it, but it is ridiculous to have a thread for something that hasn't been completed yet.

Your thread was deleted because a) it was about a Reading player but posted in the United forum and b) there was an older existing thread in the correct forum, the Transfer Forum and c) stopping being such a whiny pussy.

That's retarded. Well done.

;)


On a serious note: Have you ever taken a gander at Talking Reds by any chance, buddy? Posters on there start threads like we write posts on here. It's a cluster feck of monumental proportions. You'll get irritated if you spend one day on there. This is heaven compared to that hell.

I like the fact that there is one dedicated thread for each individual player and issue. Much easier to find information you are looking for rather than going through a plethora of threads. This site will go to shit the day you'll find 10 Zaha threads when you open the home page.

Several dozen threads on the same subject and the same posters in each thread saying the same thing over and over. :lol:

I actually agree about the second point.

Forum is really heavily policed at the moment.

In unrelated news, KM has been promoted to Minister for Threads. All posters must PM him for permission before starting a new thread.

I miss that we're not allowed to say "cocks out" or post pictures.

When we sign somebody I like to encourage people to get their cocks out and then post a picture of Patrick Stewart face palming at people who say it's a shit signing.

When did the caf ban the allowing of cocks to come out?

From what Ive been told it was shit when I joined compared to some years earlier - I enjoyed it though. It seems to have become more boring lately though. Im not going to pretend like I contribute much to make it better either. Not sure why Im even writing this post. Last few weeks Ive only felt like going into the 50k thread for some laughs and not much more.

Go use other Manchester United forums and ear your hat for posting that.

On another point FWIW, didn't know if the OP was WUM over point 1, but KM I have never seen say anything controversial or nasty? Can't see why you can't appreciate him, good poster.

What in particular? You haven't actually given a reason? I admit sometimes its annoying when a thread spirals off and people bicker but that's life and usually get told off pretty quickly (As its usually me) and it stops... then we get back on the subject and overall the level of football knowledge and english grammar here, is far superior to any other football forum, let alone just Manchester United forums...

I have no idea either, yet.
Each new set is worse than the last. That's what I said when the new ones were promoted. And I honestly thought that when I got the nod myself. And it's probably true. Thing is Solius is about 14, Rado about 16 and KM is 6. Give them time and they will blossom. They need your wisdom to help and guide them sambachan.

Your mistake is calling them mods. It's too broad and catch-all. There are the pro new thread mods and big long messy thread zealots. It's complicated.

Let's reach a settlement and allow Sambachan to start a thread when we Eventually sign Zaha.

And if we don't we can all blame him. :wenger:

KM is a mod, btw ? The Forum leaders list doesn't say so.

Don't sign old players and cast offs
I've no idea who KM so I assume he/she specialises in the football forum, and if they've been moddified to sort that out so much the better. If it's for the general they can feck off, that's over-modded as it is.

she's a Mod on the Asian version of Redcafe, you're probably using the European version
That's pretty strange as i am a asian myself. ;)

And pretty sure Karan is a He's name.
