[quote="Tannin"]I don't know why we can't have a teams thread that lives for more than 30 damn seconds on the board before some over-zealous mod goes button-crazy and merges it into the match thread where, as always, it's impossible to find any damn thing or carry on a sensible discussion because it's just too long and crowded. Merge later if you must, but this merge-everything-instantly drives me spare.Same as it does most other members. It's not needed and it's not wanted. Just don't do it, OK?
Sigh.
I am with Tannin on this!
Can the Mods make a post about why they keep doing this!

yeh it gets a bit hard to follow,
i rarely venture into the pre game and post game thread because its such a large mess with 50 convos happening at once, not easy to follow a discussion.
would definately prefer things like team line ups having their own threads
p.s. i appreciate the job mods do, you'll never make everyone happy and they're doing it for nothing. so this is not a knock, just a suggestion for improevement.
it wouldn't go astray to show a bit of respect, thompsock

I also should have been more respectful in my original post. I spoke in anger. The way the mods manage to keep order in this madhouse - it isn't simply a great job, it's a damn miracle!
But this merge-thread mania doesn't have anything to do with keeping order - indeed, it doubtless makes it more difficult because, as Kingswood more-or-less says above, you could drop the Queen Mary into one of those huge, chaotic match threads and never even notice.

seriously though, the mods here are super cool, i cant believe i havnt been banned for being a pest yet.
Tannin has a point. It's good to be able to find team selection immediately. Perhaps even a separate sticky from Thursday night until game day would work?

man, i wasnt joking, tannin was the reason for my yellow, (remember the old folks gag tannin lol) the mods are currently reviewing the footage as we speak, although it has been 8 weeks now, but hal tells me tannin will be offered a yellow, but if he fights it its a str8 red, if found guilty of course.David wrote:argh, beat me to it.jmcp wrote:neither can we.Defender wrote:remove my yellow card as well while your at it boys, it was all tannins fault.
