Guest justin_3d Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 As of current, TC policy is: Links from unreliable sources, such as Goal or Tribalfootball will be deleted from the forum, due to their relative lack of credibility. Quotes from these websites will be removed at the discretion of the moderating team. I think the unreliable source list should be expanded to more then just these two.Unless of course here at TC we like to read fake news from unreliable sources....

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Totally agree with you.Frustrated by these lack of quotes on sources & then they start spreading so people get misled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Totally agree with you.Frustrated by these lack of quotes on sources & then they start spreading so people get misled.I agree... i read in 2 papers today bout 2 players were meant to be interested in... one was David Villa.. the other was us bidding for Aguero... also were suppposedly in discussions with anderlecht for Lukaku... these speculation is mind-blowing and messes with ya head! lmao.Last few days were meant to be signing de Bruyne, Lukaku, Elia, Aguero, Sneijder, David Villa, Modric, and god knows how many more...

TomCFC 357 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Agreed - there's tonnes more unreliable sources out there. It's hard to keep up on which newspapers actually print factual information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 The statement doesn't limit unreliable sources to just those two. Those are examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 The statement doesn't limit unreliable sources to just those two. Those are examples.Yeah but i tried explaining that to some people, and they still see as those two as the only one not to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I suppose the argument against this, is that it keeps discussion going, but since it's all fantasy anyway (without a credible source/quotes) then what's the difference. Why would anyone want to be mislead, and anticipate something only to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 How about twitter?There is a separate thread for twitter rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Remind users of the Twitter thread. Maybe make it a sticky in the transfer section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 It all depends on the user reading the rumours, some are more prone to being transfer muppets than others. Twitter has many quite good sources and I don't see why everything coming from it should be "dumped" into one thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter has many quite good sources and I don't see why everything coming from it should be "dumped" into one thread.True good point. But i guess then it's the job of the moderator to see what is wrong and what is right. We can read all this junk by our self. But i would rather that here at TC we can have some sense of what's reliable and whats not reliable. You can give an opinion about who you want and why. There is nothing wrong with that, but i would just want TC to be a bit more better then all the noise you hear from the media. If we can't separate the reality from gossip here at TC, then we are no better of then just reading those papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to the users to keep the level of the board from dropping and in the transfer section all one needs is common sense and a good memory.

Tomo 21,751 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Lets be realistic here, what newspapers are reliable? there are none lets be honest. I dont think many believes them but they are here for speculation, hench while most people say if this happens to be true for example.The sources on here are used to speculate because if we cannot speculate we might aswell close the transfer thread and have done with it, it's one thing speculating and talking about what is put its another actually believing it.
