I don't know what that means, but I'm fairly sure it's true.

And this thread is pretty much a perfect example of the problem. There's two different conversations going on. This is a pretty big deal for the site, would it not be worth making a sticky in the football forum so everyone can see and discuss the situation?

Vorm?Here's hoping he'll go on and be as successful as Rodger's last signing from Holland Eredivisie.
Just thought I'd chime and and say that, whilst I'm new, I think this is a pretty good place you've got going here.
Cheers mate.
Ok, with fresh eyes, what do you like here that you can't find elsewhere?
Sorry to put you on the spot, tell me to fuck off if you want.
Vorm?
Oh running an internet site isn't stressful. Dealing with cunts continually is. Spits it the face of..., fuck off, what a load of absolute bollocks. Who sorts out all the tickets mainly ? Oh, the mods. Who sorted out the collection for Dave ? Oh, the mods. Community my arse.
It's not just you guys that do that shit actually but regardless of petty "who does what" arguments I always figured the mods as part of the community. I guess that was a mistake on my part, eh?
Anyway, I've said my piece and will leave it there.
I'm tempted to start a sub forum called "the shower room", and its effectively where posters go to get anally punished (metaphorically) by other people
Back off topic....
It seems to me (and it's difficult to hold all the posts in mind) that a big part of the problem has been that some (often otherwise excellent) posters on here have been littering the mods inboxes with pms complaining about stuff that the mods then feel they have to act upon.
What happened to that thing we're all trying to describe that makes this place better than others? A bunch of fans willing to entertain a bit of banter, diverse opinions, the odd fallout - but all within the spirit of "live and let live, we're all Liverpool fans in the end".
The moment people start throwing pms and hissy fits around, demanding action gets taken against certain personas (for that's all a lot of it is) on here, it must put the owners/mods in a difficult, seemingly increasingly stressful position. Moreover, people have started "quitting" and flouncing off at the drop of a hat.
Why can't posters just put on "ignore" those who (for whatever subjective reason) get their goat? It's not difficult.
There remains a lot on here (not least the light-touch moderation) that makes it the best forum around in my eyes. Once focus turns again to new season, hopefully some will have less reason to get preoccupied with themselves.
You're a hero to us allI'm going to clip my toenails as a mark of respect for it all.

Agree with this. I don't understand adults who tell tales on other adults on an internet forum. The whole idea of it seems absurd to me. Personally, I have no use for the ignore function, as I'm quite capable of ignoring people without it. But if you struggle to ignore people, and find yourself whinging to mods about people in private, then it seems to me that the ignore function was made for you. I think people need to make better use of it, rather than bothering mods with petty little grievances about certain individuals. Not everyone is going to get on, but that doesn't mean that we should start picking sides. Diversity and disagreement are what make this forum what it is. If you can't stomach a particular poster, and aren't capable of ignoring them of your own accord, then use the ignore feature. Or just grow up.
#11? We must have high hopes about him or doesn't numbers mean anything anymore?
Careful now. Don't want to encourage that sort of, you know ; ) behaviour.
Oussama Assaidi's first Liverpool Interview on This Is Anfield.
Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Moroccan international winger Oussama Assaidi from Heerenveen for around £3million.
The 24-year-old was in Liverpool this morning to tie up paperwork and complete a medical. He will begin training with the squad immediately, but will not be part of Saturday’s Premier League opener away at West Brom.
Assaidi is new Reds boss Brendan Rodgers’ third signing of the summer after the moves for Italian striker Fabio Borini and Welsh and Team GB international midfielder Joe Allen.
On arriving on Merseyside, Assaidi told the club’s official website, “I’m very happy to play for this big club. The first time I spoke to the coach I had a good feeling. I had offers from other big clubs but I’ve been waiting for this moment.
“The coach gave me a good feeling. It will be a dream to play with these big players and I hope training will help me to be a good player here.
“When I watch Liverpool it’s always a good atmosphere, the fans are fantastic and I’m happy to be here.”
Rodgers welcomed Assaidi to Liverpool and says he is the perfect signing for the role he was looking to fill.
“We’re delighted with the signing, he’s a young player who has done very well, in particular in the last couple of seasons, in Holland.
“He fits our style perfectly, he’s an exciting player who is very good in one versus one situations and I think he’s a player that will excite the crowd.
“We’re not expecting too much too early, he needs time to adapt but we’re delighted he’s chosen to come here over a number of other clubs.
“As I said, I’ll look forward to helping his development and I hope he’ll become a very good part of this club.”
Assaidi comes in after the departure of Dirk Kuyt, Maxi Rodriguez and Craig Bellamy, who could all play attacking wide positions.
