as soon as the season is over close the board down over the summer..

that way a load of the trash, rumour starters, transfer heads, champ man heads, scousers & general riff raff will piss off & play elsewhere
 
What about the fact there is a big international tourny going on during the summer?

People will want to post about that.
 
How about giving everyone a limit 5 transfers (both in and out) to harp on about, any more names mentioned and they're banned from the transfer forum. We would of course need grasses as none of us Mods can be arsed reading all the drivel posted in the rubber room :p

Once people are banned from the transfer forum, discussing transfers anywhere other than the transfer or newbie forum earns a 1 week suspension. ;)
 
What about the summer forum invasions?

Besides, if you shut it down, it might never start up again. And in the meantime a lot of bored office workers would kill themselves.
 
Why don't people just stay out of the transfer forum?

Or perhaps keep it closed until a week before window opens and/or set guidelines asking people not to post links to stories which have no foundation.

If it would stay in the transfer forum that would be fine as I have no intention of venturing in there but I've moved 3 threads from the United forum in the last 24 hours, all posting the same baseless articles about Ruud leaving to Real or Barca and see now that more have sprung up to replace them.

Similarly how many threads in the United forum start off about formation and then list the team as the poster sees it for next year where only Rio, Ruud, Cris & Tim from our current squad feature :wenger:. It's idle transfer speculation propogated by lazy journalists and Championship Manager muppets but certain people around here believe it deserves a place in the better read United forum regardless of veracity or a grounding in reality just because it includes the name of a United player.

Besides, every time we have to move a thread into the transfer forum, the software leaves us in there which is about the only time I venture in. I can assure you I get out as quickly as possible as the place makes my skin crawl, Championship Manager has a lot to answer for.
 
Nah, let them be, just make it invisible to us. The recent posts list is full of their threads.
