Twitter Integrity

[Pexbo]

Can we start to have a bit of a quality filter as to what Tweets can be linked to on this forum?

I can't be the only one who is sick of seeing absolute nonsense Tweets from accounts like MANUTDNEWS or BBCMANUTD or TRANSFERAGENT and other obviously rubbish sources.

It's as clear as day these accounts are ran by absolute nobodies who pull all their tweets directly out of their arse.

I can understand the odd post by a non journalist who is known to know a player or previously worked at a club or something but the amount of Tweets getting posted all over the transfer forum by people who are the Twitter version of SolidState is really getting very annoying and I know I'm not the only one to feel that.

It's for the members to control. On the large it has been fine. Not seen any by TransferAgent doodah for a while, though someone did post something by an Agent Edward and got shouted down. If you see someone post something that is clearly nonsense in the twitter thread, criticise their post heavily.

Oxymoron?

The thread should be self-policing. We've already (for the most part) removed Tancredi tweets because they're seen as more of a farce that derails the thread. Do the same for others.
