Because it was tried to be all delicate and nice. No one paid attention.
Thread creation is appalling on this site. Lots of great, fantastic posts are lost in the ether between shite posts. The main culprit of shite posts seemed to be from Twitter.
Random opinion pieces are fine but EVERY FUCKING SLIGHT RUMOUR from nobheads on Twitter is getting posted.
It was suggested by Ross in Mod chat to allow just journalist tweets and I'd agree whole heartedly with that.
@
Semolina Lipton, you've got a track record with your knowledge so at least we know what we're getting. Your sources are fine and I'm happy for you to post whatever you want.
I recall a year or 2 ago oncy started a rumour about us being in for Drogba, and it got reported on tribal football.
We also created a twitter account claiming to be an ITK just to see who'd bite.
For fucks sake. It's that EASY for shite to get picked up. Whats wrong with just posting sources from BBC, sky sports, or reputable journalists (not that beaker looking cunt from the metro though)
THIS is what Ross had been trying to put forward but THIS gets ignored because it's Ross!
He's been a nob about it recently, but he's been ignored for a good long while. So why not shout and scream if it gets people to listen?
