    Anything doesnt go though, the mod (OLM) said this:
    It seems that about 60% are in favour of this site having articles which are predominantly football(mainly City obviously), but with other general topics being allowed, but overtly political or religious threads will be removed(much to the relief of this sites owner, who is not at all happy with one article already posted).

    Could you please point out where I said "anything goes" or insinuated "Anything goes. The mod(OLM) deemed that 60% of people who voted where tolerent of "other general topics" being allowed, but overtly political or religious threads will be removed.

    on the CI football board many non-football threads have OT in the title. maybe that would satisfy those what object to knowing anything about their fellow city fans.

    You said that 60percent had voted for other threads apart from football, but you didn't mention that politics and religion weren't allowed. Apologies if you took what I posted the wrong way, no offence intended.

    in light of some peope complaining about the absolute mass of non-football threads on here i had had a look to gather some evidence on there behalf. pages 1 to 5 when i looked contained 95 threads ignoring the sticky. some of the threads were discussions about the board and its use. of the rest the following had no football content:
    non-footy jokes
    guitar lessons
    gary moore rip
    sunday is rock night
    if the whingers who are complaining about too many non-football threads find a huge 4 out of 91 to be overwhelming their sensibilities i would suggest to paraphrase mr24 that they go forth and multiply.

    This is a football forum! If you want to discuss any other issues politics, music and the like find a forum for that! There are plenty out there, why use a football forum for non related issues!

    If it's still like this in 6 months time then I'll agree. At the moment it's a new forum for us where the owner is letting us run our forum however we see fit. You don't see that often, and it's better for us to discuss what we want on here and how we want to do it now than it is to have one or two people being made mods who decide that we're all going to do things the way they want.

    BTW, For accuracy when people are talking about who wanted what in that poll:

    The "about 60%" figure was the most common vote in the poll. The full results are:

    Only Hull City - 2.94%
    Posts should be Hull Cit and general football matters - 12.75%
    Posts should be City/Football with some leeway for off topic humour - 58.82%
    Posts about anything should be allowed - 25.49%

    Less than 16% voted for all the posts to be about football. In fact more people voted for anything to be allowed than voted for just football posts so the lack of political/religious threads is a concession by more people than the presence of non football threads is by others.. Now combine that with the findings of X in his check, although I suspect there's been a few other threads drifted off topic as they've gone on.

    It seems this site has attracted a larger proportion of sociopaths than 606, who can't have an argument with resorting to insulting. Never mind. I think I can just about cope with it.

    FYI, as for the "middle of nowhere", Budapest, a city of over 2 million, is pretty much near the centre of gravity of Europe. And I ain't crying.

    And look - no insults. :emoticon-0109-kiss:
