Yeah it looks to be taking off now with the Jones transfer. Well done Cider.
Really not sure a NO COMMENTS thread was needed for De Gea and Jones as both looks certainties tbh
I didn't start the Jones one, but it look like it could be a while before we actually sign De Gae and everyone seems a little on edge until we get real confirmation, so an updates thread might help us all keep track of anything and everything that's said in the meantime.
It had to end some time...
3. No more posting Kermit the Frog or any other muppets in the Transfers. Its annoying and no one wants to endure the entire summer seeing this sort of thing.
4. Obviously, all posters please refrain from wummery, false announcement's of player signings, and transfer rumours without suitable links. Although this forum is mainly rumour driven we need to keep at least some semblance of sanity.
Another joyful step towards killing the fun of this forum
You're all taking this shit far too seriously. The place is getting less & less entertaining as it is without enforcing rules to make it so FFS.
IMO of course..
I agree with mockney on this one.
Banning Kermit? That's a step too far!
Good idea IMO, normally you see people there fighting among themselves rather than discussing the topic.
I'll never quite understand the concept of 'no comment' threads. It's a forum - people comment. That's the point.
This forum is attractive (or was to me) because of it's madcap, often irreverent sense of humour...Not because of it's in depth, accurate & uninterrupted Transfer discussions.
Again, this place is becoming less entertaining with more personalities being banned and more rules being applied....I've no idea why, it was fine as it was, but since you seem to be overly sanitising the place, feck it, it's your choice, go for it. I'm just saying I think it's needless and OTT....It's a fecking football forum, not a UN diplomacy meeting. Lighten up people.
It was a pity that a thread ended up with full of them. But nothing wrong in a odd post now and then. A bit of a fun here and there. If it gets out of hand put in a warning and hand infractions the next instant.He's alive and well in the Gen.

I don't really understand the problem with the no comment threads. The entire rest of the site is open for comment, these are just a way for people to dip in and read actual media reports of what's going on rather than our idiotic opinions. They aren't stopping people from discussing anything, they're just an additional, slightly more reliable source of news.

No comments? The day Redcafe turning into a communist forum.
Apparently there are some posters who are using the no comment article threads to moan about why they can't post in them.
To reiterate - You can talk about the player in question in the long threads and post articles without comments in the separate threads.
ban these idtios.
oi ciderman - good idea mate
What a fecking stupid idea. RedCafe is a discussion forum, not a news feed.
If you want a news feed, why not simply put it in a blog which can be updated?
I don't see why there cannot be a bit of both? Having no comments threads doesn't change anything regarding the other threads?
It depends on what people want from the Caf. I don't use it as a news website, and I never thought it was supposed to be one. If you do take your info about transfers from the Caf, I see the need of a no comment updates thread. I just thought most people read the BBC wesbite or something, then came on here to discuss what they'd read.
