Wizerud Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 Guys. We just won the league. People are still in a good mood. Therefore, prone to exhibit "fun" behaviour more often
HankMarvin Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 4 hours ago, inckley fox said: I understand what you're saying about it coming out of boredom but the guidelines are clear, whether they're too strict or not. Even if you feel the jokes were a satire (that's a bit of a stretch), it could be the case that some people expect things from a transfer forum which a transfer forum can't offer. If the only useful thing you could do in this forum was to accurately report news, then you may as well have a noticeboard and no discussion at all. It's reasonable to expect people to remain more or less on topic. If the consequence of going so wildly off topic is that a discussion is shut down, that's a real shame for people who might have been interested in the discussion. Transfer forums will always consist of people sharing rumours, posting links, discussing the likelihood of things happening, as well as discussing the merits of a potential signing. If the discussions aren't very interesting to someone, it might be the case that transfer forums simply aren't very interesting for that person. 'Summation and conjecture' are the things a transfer forum does. You say you'll give an opinion when he's signed - when that happens this thread will be closed and moved to the main forum. So if you don't want to share your opinions in a thread (and I don't in most of them either) the obvious thing is not to! For my part, though, I think a forum has to both break news and discuss it. From what I've seen and the praise I've heard, it's very interesting to wonder if, how and when Kapustka will fit into our set-up. He could be an alternative to Albrighton, Mahrez, Okazaki, he could be further proof of us switching to three in the middle. And, so long as he signs, he's definitely proof that our priorities in the market have changed. There's a lot to discuss for long-time fans like you and me. And, as strongly as I agree with you on Vardy's wife, I also understand why the mods took action with the other thread, and think it's unfortunate if we don't let people who want to have a discussion have it on account of some of us finding it boring. Not that I am personally troubled by any of this. It just seems like a few people are at cross purposes. As well as the pun thread can we request a amateur authors thread where people can get their page long drivel posts out of their system. Please feel free to assign this to your sig
Tom's Pasta Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 I feel like this thread should be shut down due to people going off topic talking about previously shutting a thread down

Very funny and true, yet he won't get it and will insult everyone else's intelligence whilst trying to bore them into submission

"They can take your life Bob but they'll never take your freedom" Or is it Rick? 9 hours ago, inckley fox said: And you sound like Rick out of the Young Ones. That might be on purpose, I don't know. It's not necessarily a bad thing either. If you'd understood it in 10 words I wouldn't have had to write 500, would I? It's a simple point: some posters took over a thread, broke the rules and as a result it was shut down, meaning that people who wanted to have the discussion weren't able to. If you can't grasp how straightforwardly unreasonable that is, then you can hardly moan at people going to lengths to explain it to you! And if you disagree with the rules, take it up with the people who run the site. They seem fair enough to me. Sorry guv don't understand, I not be as learned as you with them pretty words , lots and lots of pretty words. Please give more it will help me be proper clever and condescending like you

Guest Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 Can we quit with both the puns and the discussion of the merits of puns/closure of threads due to puns. Some of us (I suspect the vast majority) would just like to have a thread about the player and rumours linked to him signing. You're all as bad as each other.

It's not even just puns, anything that's even vaguely funny gets done to death by people desperate to be in on the joke. It's like "xxxx was decent." Funny for a couple of pages, then seriously boring. Time to unnecessarily extend the xxxx laffs ! Why do Aussie's drink xxxx ? Because they can't spell beer

Some bloke in the bookies today, told me that a mate he saw down the pub last night had seen on the interweb that this guy might be coming and he looks pretty good.
Nick Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 Could some wacky character just go to General Chat and open up a 'hilarious puns thread' for the comedy wit people - we could then potentially ban puns in every other thread forever. I know it's censorship, its wrong but I'm all for it.
ARM1968 Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 Discussing forum rules in a topic is hardly informative and I think infringes the forum rules. Not sure exactly but confident the jackbooted fun police will be along soon with many paragraphs of explanation. This guy looks good. Great prospect. Not signed yet. Nut shell. Right im off. Too much to do to romain ere.
dedlock Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 Has anyone any info on the OP's question? Is he about to sign?

inckley fox Posted 30 July 2016 Posted 30 July 2016 It's rich to accuse me of banging on. I've posted 7 or 8 times, largely about Kapustka. Some of you got a discussion shut down by taking it over with something irrelevant for ten pages, then started moaning about it on this thread, or claiming it was a satire on the banality of the forum. If people understood why the thread was closed and why that wasn't fair - or even if they didn't and just shut up about it - then I wouldn't be explaining it. So Kapustka: Is he a product of our scouting or did someone simply see the Euros? Is that how we do our business now? Is it why Walsh left? Personally, from what I've seen of him - and the through balls, physicality, quickness on the ball, close control - I felt he was the sort who could step up and increase our options out wide or in the Okazaki role. Is there a chance that the extension for Wasilewski was part of our welcome package?

Your banging on again good of player by the looks of it, lots of positive comments by more or less everyone talking about him up the Foxes

(Or even Dragovic the Austrian bloke) ...
