Exactly.But we're making it less fun by completely restricting what can be posted, Yay.
Nb I think people should just use their common sense rather than a banned users list.
That's fair enough. I understand the mods don't want the Cafe to be buried in b******t from every no-mark with a typing finger on Twitter. Too much of a bad thing is just bad.I agree with the crackdown because it's not entertaining. It's annoying. The reason more and more sprout up is because people give them attention. A true muppet cares and wants to believe what they read is true. They don't want to be put in a skirt and fecked up the arse by every twat wanting to be in the know. Twitters a shit website anyway
Against the ban too.
What's the point of the Twitter thread if only a select few can be posted?
I agree putting a list saying take those "twatters" with a grain of salt but don't ban them. It's part of the fun
I can see the number of twits posted to be vastly lowered due most of the posted twits previously are on the ban list.
You mean it's mostly full of discussion?This thread should be 95% tweets(no matter how ridiculous).
This thread has become 1 tweet and sometimes no tweets per page.

It's the build up to the "official news" which we all want to be involve in like - media leaks/players quotes/ reliable tweets.Exactly.
Which is why I posted what I did. If the transfer forum is just about muppetry/fantasy/fun then nobody's tweets should be banned. We should allow Indykaila and everybody else's tweets.
You can't tell people to not take this thread seriously while at the same time banning tweets. One of the things that made the Thiago saga fun is that everyone's tweets were allowed.
Tancredi is full of crap most of the time, but he is actually on TV talking about football. How are you going to ban his tweets? Might as well just close the twitter thread at that point.
Either allow all tweets for the muppetry or just wait for official news.
The whole transfer forum is so convoluted. You can't discuss tweets in the Twitter thread, so we have a separate Twitter discussion thread. You can't post tweets in individual player threads, so they're forced into the Twitter or Twitter discussion thread. What exactly are we meant to do? Quote posts from the Twitter thread (without the tweet) to player-specific threads and then continue discussing in their thread? The way it is, we just end up discussing 50 different players in one thread, which is why it gets so muddy and disjointed. We should just allow posting of Tweets in player-specific threads and be done with the Twitter threads all together. You just force all the traffic from the whole forum to one place, and of course during the transfer window it's going to blow up and be tedious.This thread should be 95% tweets(no matter how ridiculous).

Hear hear! *applause*Most tweets need to be handled with a bit of suspicion. In some cases, journalists have contacts at clubs and tweet what they hear from them. In others, club sources may deliberately mislead a journalist to direct the media narrative away from a particular player they are interested in.
If people stopped taking tweets so seriously (see the past few years of transfer sagas involving Benz, Ozil, Sneijder, Hazard, Lucas Moura etc) then we would need to limit the likes of Tancredi, Hernandez et al. A tweet would simply be a speculative piece of information that is discussed without being taken too seriously.
or it's because he's covering the dutch national teamHis obsession with Louis Van Gaal is unhealthy.
This. He's the Spanish Indy yet people post his stuff. And all he does is state the obvious.Rafael Hernandez should be on the list.
I also wonder about the mental state of the people who follow them and post their tweets.I honestly have to wonder about the mental state of people, to make stuff up, so more people will follow them on a meaningless social media website.....
It honestly makes me question my existence in life.....It's beyond comprehension
He's certainly got the Shaw one wrong, because united better hurry up if they want that done before the World Cup.So you're seriously fine with stuff like the following being posted?

Ben Fairthorne doesn't exist. Well, maybe he does but he certainly isn't a journo who has worked with x, y and z company and has a zillion sources. He's indykaila with a dicky bow.
When I, and a lot of others, view the twitter thread, we want to see actual news, not utter crap spouted by ITK69 about something plucked from their arsecrack and retweeted and favourited into oblivion just because it links Suarez with a move to Caledonian Thistle or some other nonsense.
That to....Being genuine when I say it, I understand the football fans getting sucked in but....Seriously...What has happened the world?!I also wonder about the mental state of the people who follow them and post their tweets.
Since fairly recently, although things can accelerate pretty quickly in that sector. Twitter users are falling, the stock price has fallen and the CEO has dumped a load of shares. Not sure what your reference to Facebook is about.since when? who is the facebook in this scenario then? facebook?
He is alright, I feel. Tweets mostly about Barca.Rafael Hernandez should be on the list.
