Day Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Right, Transfer Talk forum, the one thread per player worked for a while but as the forum has got bigger, more puns, 500 page threads for transfers trying to break records, it has been mentioned and noted how hard it is to find the latest news. So, the mods could edit the first post or even have a thread that is pinned with the latest and links. My idea tho is to scrap the one thread per player rule, I've been accused of being a dictator so I may as well be, this is what will happen. If the Thorne transfer was to happen again I would like to see separate threads for the latest, for example.... Thorne Twitter rumours WBA say Thorne not for sale Bid rejected for Thorne DET reporting a new bid next week for Thorne Thorne not travelled with squad to America Thorne officially signs!!! Thread titles should be clear, nothing cryptic and the first post will have the article and linked. This way members can stay quickly up to date by just reading the first post and the thread title. The rest of the thread will be opinions and puns which you won't need to go through to find the latest. Football-rumours.co.uk threads will still be deleted and please think before posting these Twitter rumours, if the account has 100 followers it's most likely ******. Also please don't bump threads to let us know a player we was linked with months ago as joined X club, post it up in Football Talk if you like. Thanking you, let's see how this goes.

Boycie Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Pussy problems? Anyway, I'm sure you're right about what it is you've written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Any chance of having the topic name begin with the name of the player, rather than the source? i.e Mason Bennett- loan to Sheff Utd- Sheffield Star Would be clearer from a glance who the thread's about.

uttoxram75 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I actually agree with Fox ram (or wherever he comes from)....so......can you start threads with the players name please folks to save me doing any work. Or Cumb will ban your sorry ass. And froggg will eat your young. I'll chase you all the way to the station and Boycie will note down the number of the train you're on.....

Day Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Also thread titles are up to the members, we only edited them to show the kinda thing we were looking for. A thread title that tells you everything, the player, the source, loan, permanent etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 This is far too confusing, there's about 3 different threads for the same transfer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's not really.The idea is simple, allowing people to see the latest from the thread title and first post.The Freeman and Best threads would be full of duplicate links and posts saying there are a lot of duplicate posts, before you know it we're 20 pages in and other members who are not on here 24/7 have to read through all that to see if there is any latest developments.I've already noticed a difference where people are actually talking about the player more than other random ******.

Srg Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's just there's a different conversation in each one, but is basically about the same subject. Confusing trying to keep up with, knowing what comment by whom was in which thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 So now we have 2 conversations on the actual player instead of 1 thread full of ****** with a title that lures you in thinking it's actually talking about the transfer?Told you it was a good idea!

Srg Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Maybe lock the older ones? Or just keep one thread and update title with latest update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Don't agree with locking because one member posts something, another member comes on later and want's to reply to that comment but can't as it's locked. One thread would revert back to the pages of crap, massive difference in conversations in transfer talk already. Even finding myself reading the threads again which hasn't happened in a long time.

Tombo Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I think it's a good idea, I just don't like change so I will hate it until I get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
