I just went to the transfer forum, and I notice half the posts are like this:

we need huntlaer ^_^:faq1:
quagliarella is gr8 lets get him sell trez lets get messi 2:cool:
lol he sucks on FM we need quaresma and c.ronaldo ronaldinho :smoke: :smoke: :agree: :toast: :eyebrows: :p

You get my point. I realize that not everyone speaks English fluently, but that's not what it is about. This is just laziness and unawareness of the "social rules" on a message board. How about banning anyone using "text message" speak, excessive use of smileys or who post short, meaningless posts repeatedly? Not saying we should have a forum Gestapo but if we don't do this, we're all going to hell. :pint:

At the risk of sounding elitist, we could even have a newbie forum. Those who seem decent after a few posts can given access to the rest of the forum. This newbie forum could have a Juventus section and a Hangout section. I've seen this at other message boards with great success.

what you think

Oh, this would also reduce problems with Manure fans and Viagra salesmen making topics across the forum.

It could work. But who's going to make the decision. We know people like b_devil could never be allowed to the more elevated forum, simply because they aren't able to meet minimum intelligence standards.

    Either it would be up to the mods to pick, or there could be a poll. I think it will be pretty obvious to see who's decent and who's not. I'm not saying we should turn the forums into Sparta, but only have a way to filter the shit out.

    To put it bluntly: yes and we all know I am. Perhaps you are too, I don't know, I don't know every poster. But it's fairly obvious we can't allow fascist extremist Jews to a forum with some form of morality.

    Like I said, it could work. But there are members like Seven and myself, who are obviously not well liked by everyone, yet obviously are of some "value". A poll would only see idiots take control of the forum, making mods decide would be a better option.

    If you fuckers had to fight a wolf to get the right to post here, there'd be a lot less spam.
