I think we've exceeded our gooner quota on this site. Like weeds, they're cropping up all over the place, yet adding little. I thought the newbie forum was to weed out the obvious WUMs which many of the latest crop seem to be. Some of those on trial look to be failing badly. Time for the chop!
Quotas

Good shout, that. I'm not sure how many are WUMs, but the site is being taken over.
s\\Many of them will now soon disappear. Thank you Mr Scholes.
Sorry but most of the gooners that have come through the doors have been reasonable and are happy to discuss football at a reasonable level. Those who have come through the Newbie have all been straight up about being gooners and have generally shown more sense and a better knowledge of football than a huge number of the sell everyone and bring in 15 foreigners + Rooney muppets who claim to be United fans and have made this place such a pleasure to read of late.
The newbie is there to weed out the WUMs and I took great pleasure banning 10 scouse WUMs who infested the place after we lost to Porto, I have yet to see a gooner WUM be let through though and even Gillespie & Jopub whilst being annoying at times, do offer something to the forum.

Ive banned one gooner for making nasty comments about others grasp of English and would love to turf out the lot but until they do something offensive they stay.I made a witty comment about one of their key players last week and one of them was laughing at it,while they can be that unbiased they stay.Sorry.....
The management is getting weak! 
In defence of the mods none of them are obvious WUMs that I can see
Being gooners though, they are of course all cnuts.

Totally agree - get rid of them.
what happens is that they insult MU, and things descend very quickly into a foul-mouthed slanging match.
the opportunity for any sensible debate amongst united fans disappears.
If you (Elizabeth) say that the only way you'll zap them is if they make slanderous/profane remarks then I'm very disappointed. I don't think thats good enough.
They love 'spoiling' our sites and you let them get away with it !!!
When they make some pathetic anti MU remark, someone responds, they respond back Etc Etc Etc
I don't want to hear about how clever a couple of littlle nerds are at insulting one another. I want to communicate with fellow MU supporters.
Why do you persist in letting them get away with it.
If you expelled them all, then repeated expelling for a few weeks , they'd soon get bored , and find some other little game.
Its killing the forum for true MU fans.
GET RID OF THEM - PLEASE

It died a long time ago
Never noticed opposition forums being as generous towards us as we are towards them. What I object to is the sheer number of them. We only have a few scousers and now we have about twice as many gooners. They're only on here to gloat, and yes, many of them will probably disappear once they're out of the CL too, but for the time being what lucius said is true, its rare for a thread to get to the bottom of its first page without degenerating into a tribal spat.
Agreed Niall.
Rival fans are quite welcome on this site, but out of the 10 or so gooners who have popped up on this forum (not including Davo), one, if that, have made any kind of useful, constructive contribution to this forum.
If you want the quality to improve on this site, rid of some of the people who offer the site nothing, who's only aim is to wind up rather than genuinly have an input into discussion.

Enjoy it, they will all but disappear, they could end up potless this season, and they are starting to realise it. Let them gloat, they were doing it last year, and look what happened. By our standards, we are having a terrible season, they are having their best, but if they really feel that the power is shifting South then let them, because in the modern (money dominated) game the power is where it is, and where it will remain. This is a blip on our radar, let them enjoy it, and enjoy them enjoying it. I can see something terrible coming their way.
I still don't see anyone posting examples of where and how specific opposition posters are ruining the forum. IMHO almost all of the gooners let in have contributed to the forum and there is only one who I am keeping an eye on, sure jopub and Gillespie post things to wind up the more easily riled United fans on here but let's face it there are far more numpties on here who claim to be United fans yet contribute nothing to the forum beyond whinging, and the worst kind of Championship Manager drivel that helps to reinforce the gloryhunter tags other teams choose to level at us.
Show me where the troublemakers are and I'll ban them but sitting in here whinging about how weak the mods are and calling for mass expulsions will achieve nothing. If you want the forum to be a better place, put in some reasonable posts and try and tip the balance away from the numpties and the opposition fans or whoever else you perceive as the problem.

With all due respect Bury, but I've done that for a long time. And I wasn't criticising the mods, been there, know how difficult it is.Bury Red said:

Nice prediction

Remind me again who are you?
Your contribution to the forum is welcome 0.27 posts a day since August 2002. And you're telling Elizabeth that you dont think its good enough.

Where's his contribution to this topic i must've missed it.
if the forum was full of united fans then you would only get a united fans perception whereas with gooners and scousers in here they offer a different view. ok sometimes threads do turn into arguments but whats worng with that can sometimes turn in to a good laugh. plus when united win the double and arsenal win sweet fa its us that can gloat at them.
lucius said:
Ok,hows about Ill ban everyone on this site except the select few that I really get along with?We can sit on here and drool over players bums all day.
I do appreciate that there are a few merchants on here,and we try to keep them in line but we do need a different view on here from time to time.If we had a strictly Man United only forum we'd lose Marching,Davo etc,long serving and well liked members.
Also when your reading this site its easy to think "if I were a mod Id ban him,him and him......" but its not your site to do as you please......first rule on being admin-dont abuse the position.
When we win the cup cant imagine many opposing fans will be hanging round to celebrate with us.
The Gooners should stay, they're fans are fine on the whole...better than the manc fans generally..
Like their side..
