Transfer Tweets Guidelines - Please Read

[Niall]

Tweet Threads

A new updated list of sources and approved aggregators have been listed for the United Forum. All other aggregators are now banned and will be deleted. This will follow in the other tweet threads once an updated list of aggregators has been curated for those threads. Remember that the tweet threads are meant for minimal discussion only. Any tweets which do not conform to the list will be deleted and repeat offenders warned.

Below are a list of approved aggregators:

Other General Guidelines

• No opinion tweets in Player Threads
• No tweets should be posted that are just the opinions of people.
• Tweets which provide information, stats, interviews, highlights etc. which are relevant to the thread are valid but not just the general opinion of the twitter user.

Feel like there's some good journalists missing from the approved list for player transfer threads. Few names off the top of my head like Mike McGrath, Sam Wallace, Lyall Thomas, Matt Lawton should be on there in my opinion.

We can always add or subtract from the list. The main point was to get these guidelines posted so those who post a lot of transfer tweets have some parameters to consider before posting.
