The mods will have to regroup and rethink. That obviously wasn't thought through/explained very well.
If I post something on the Saints thread, can I then use it as a published source for quoting it on the rumours thread. Or is only the printed press regarded as authentic. If it is only the printed press, then can we quote the OS or not. My brain hurts.
So threads like the Saint Charlie one will never happen again.........."sky sources " and the red tops never got a sniff until he signed.
Many a time I've logged in to see 4 or 5 new pages and expect to see an exciting rumour only for it to be pages of puns
Just want to add my voice to the "EH?" crowd with that one. Seems a very strange and misguided decision. If somebody has complained to the mods that there's too many unsubstantiated rumours in the...umm...rumours thread, then surely by weight of numbers there are far many more that appreciate the snippets from Beefy, DTLW et al - and to be honest their information is far more substantiated than that which you can pull a source for. Nah, sorry mods, I love you all but you have this one terribly wrong.

Just voted for Forster on last day of voting for PFA Player of month for February. Must have missed that before....he won't win of course.
Just to echo everyone above that seems a very strange decision regarding the transfer RUMOUR thread. Are we now deciding that the Sun etc. is more reliable than Beef/Dtlw? One of the joys of coming on forums during transfer windows is to find out info outside the mainstream media. Otherwise I would just check BBC Gossip () every day, they have 'sources'. I also don't see the reason for this? Has someone/people complained about this? If so are we going to be made aware of how many people have. Honestly don't see any benefits at all and hope it is either re-explained with more detail or there is a rethink. P.S. Also agree with others that a much bigger problem is 4 pages of puns in the thread!!
How about we all 'boycott' the forum for a night and go for a steak instead to show Beef our support Okay I'll get my coat
So a walkout means not checking the forum every 5 seconds and never posting.... Cold turkey can be very hard.
