  1. 1. PROPOSAL ONE - Should we get rid of the 'unreliable sources' rule?

    • Yes - I want to be able to discuss all sources, and this 'rule' has never really been consistently applied
    • No - I'd prefer to read through topics that have more credible sources
  2. 2. PROPOSAL TWO - And, by extension, do you think we should have a change to the current forum set-up?

    • YES - we should have a sub-forum for 'transfer wishlists' and another for actual reported targets, because it is hard to distinguish between the two
    • NO - we should just leave it as it is!

PROPOSAL ONE

The following proposal has been suggested by Swedish House Mafia in regards to the Transfer Talk forum rules. Therefore:

  • We are suggesting abolishing current ruling, which dictates that moderators are free to delete links and articles from 'unreliable sources' such as Goal.com.
  • This is because this is firstly a discussion forum and to do this is defeating the purpose of debate.
  • Furthermore, the vast majority of sources are what you would deem 'unreliable', meaning consistent exercising of this practice would become a time-consuming endeavour.
  • As already stated, this 'rule' has never really been consistently exercised by all staff (I for one have never been bothered by it, but it is down to moderator discretion).
  • Therefore allowing discussion and debate over any source would be good in terms of activity for the forum and may serve as interest to

HOWEVER...

  • Some members may feel that they do not wish to sift through topics containing articles with little substance.

NEVERTHELESS

  • This new system would therefore invite individual member discretion to what they personally deem as 'reliable' or 'credible', and thus can choose whether to take the source at face value and therefore discuss it or not.


PROPOSAL TWO

By extension, I have thought to bring up a suggestion I have made several times in the past - change Transfer Talk into twosub-forums; one for discussing linked players and another as a 'transfer wishlist' forum where members can discuss summer transfers and discuss players they'd like to see at the club that haven't been linked to Chelsea in the media.

I believe this proposal would help clean up the transfer forum as there is nothing to differentiate between some threads - "which have articles and which don't?" is a question often asked by members, leading to great confusion.

PLEASE VOTE!
