    Yes lets be clear,that was my proposal and its for just a superthread forum nothing else I am 100% against other sub forums (bar maybe to include the match day threads in the new sub forum).

    I'm truly baffled....

    ...all I can see across a whole bunch of threads at the moment is a one man crusade to shake up the soccer forum and bring truth and justice to all....

    ...by someone who isn't going to use the soccer forum anymore...

    ....while noone else is really complaining very much at all...

    Getting the impression this is more self importance personal battle then anything else...


    <edit> thank you so much for offering to leave the floor open for us..........

    Did you even bother reading this thread. Because even Iago admitted there was seven who had a problem with it.

    Thats fair enough. But will add that I think that both yourself and Xavi should remove your threat to walk away if club forums are introduced as IMO its a bargaining tool and B you haven't even let me put forward a final draft. Posters are too keen to jump in like that. And not directing this at your but Im proposing that any poster who gets personal from now on should walk away from this thread. Debate the post not the poster.

    It's not a threat and there's no agenda behind it so I won't be removing anything.

    I'm not sure what part you don't get. I like modding the forum in its current format. If it changes I would not want to mod it.

    I am not important enough for that to matter one iota to whether the forum changes or not so stop dwelling on it.

    Okay Xavi. Will comeback with some framework document that I hope will improve things around here.

    At this stage your proposals are all over the place. I can't even tell what you want anymore.

    There will always be people with have a problem with how a forum is run. I'd like an Android forum, it got turned down, even though there is an apple forum, and interest in the platform. I accepted the decision and went about my merry way hoping that the site has one in the future. There was plenty of support for that forum but I haven't seen one person bitch about the lack of a forum, or argue the admins. You think the United / Liverpool super thread is a problem, try reading the Hero, or Nexus one jeepers.

    You haven't put forward a final draft because you keep shifting what you want. I don't even think you know what you want at this stage.

    Secondly Xavi, and Dub13 are perfectly entitled to suggest they would have no interest in modding club specific forums. They volunteer their time on this site, and they can stop at any time, for whatever reason. Somebody else mentioned on this thread that the existing mods could continue on modding each forum, they simple corrected them and said this wouldn't be the case.

    They are not bargaining like you are both in here, and on the thread in the soccer forum. They are simple pointing out their feelings on the matter.

    Seriously this is freaking hilarious coming from you. How many people have now told you to stop and think about what you post? Yet its only other people that are too quick to jump in.

    The fact you have put forward umpteen suggestions for the soccer forum without thinking any of them through on this thread, has lead it to become the mess it currently is.

    It started off so well to. We were so close to having a constructive feedback thread.

    This thread has really run its course. Over the pages of the thread, all sides have made a lot of good points and a number of suggestions were put forth and debated.

    It has since taken a huge nosedive, and nothing constructive has been added. It has descended into farce and schizophrenic ramblings.

    The points of issue are there for all to see, and I don't think there's much more to say.

    If anything Nekid, Some posters have shown on this thread why something needs to be done.
    Was answering some questions put forward by the admin but discussion is just getting bumped too often now. Ill be liasing with mods from now on on on this and any document i put together will be made up constructive points made on this thread.

    THEN STOP SPAMMING ON IT.
    your a flash in the pan, you've barely been on soccer long enough to understand how the forum works, never mind create some sort of insane document with your ideas on what works and what doesnt. you havent adjusted to the forum and instead of trying, you are trying to enforce change on it. change you seem to think is justified because of some sort of online poll on the forum, and before that you tried to use the "highest percent posters on the liverpool thread" as some form of base for your ideal forum. you've barely given the soccer forum a chance and because you are over sensitive and massively dramatic and seem to not be able to stop posting on boards.ie, you have turned this thread into a long winded drawn out spam fest in which the only thing im certain will come from it is you becomming a novelty figure in the eyes of all soccer forum posters.

    your embarassing yourself day after day and you dont seem to have the good sense to stop. you have turned this from us trying to make the soccer forum a better place into a one man crusade where he wont stop bleating on about bullsh1t which he barely understands in the first place. july 2009, thats when you joined boards and through 30 posts a day, of which most are just white noise, you seem to have come to the conclusion in your head of how important you think you are and how you think you know better then all the soccer forum posters, who at this very minute are posting away quite happily.

    get some humility. stop f**king spamming. get some perspective. stop trying to be some sort of revolutionist who will bring about 'great change' or whatever the f**k it is going on in your head and just try posting normally in the soccer forum without spamming the sh1t out of it with inane opinions and one line useless posts. dont like the pictures? heres one for ya..

    Not on soccer boards now Xavi am i. So stuck to my guns. Like I said you have made a point on numerous occassions now of saying you would walk away as a mod if club forums were introduced. Dont see the difference really. That vote was never going to be changed by what i said really. As for you, If you cant mod it dont mod it. Simple enough. Dont make an issue out it.

    If you don't see the difference then why did you have a go? I didn't see a difference, hence me pointing it out here! Fucking hell.

    As for your closing sentence, maybe take some of your own advice.

    If you can't handle the Soccer Forum, don't go in there. Simple enough. don't make an issue out of it.

    Spiritoftheseventies is a great poster lads, stop trying to get rid of him just cos you can't deal with the points he makes in a debate. You guys just wanna have your own little clique where nobody questions anybody, but SOS comes in and throws a cat amongst the pigeons and your feathers all get a bit ruffled and you try get him to leave.

    For shame.
    You're right there Dave. Im out of this process. Not interested in taking part in a debate that plummets to this depths. So much for feedback thread. A complete waste of time this.

    Okay going to give this one more go. Im not asking for an overall change to boards. I dont think any of my proposals were unreasonable and Iago thought they were strong enough that he nominated me to the make the case for the club forums. I was asked by someone about trolling in club forums and i came up a possible solution in terms of counter acting that.
    That fact that someone brought up trolling means there are trollers. You can back me up on this Alan I dont troll on the united boards.
    So the question is how do we combat them. Des admitted there are a few of them on the rugby boards so you can multiply it by ten on soccer boards.
    Ill attempt to post the views of the other seven so that they dont get ignored in all of this debate.
