    Soccer's a special case, though, because it's crap.

    It wasn't moved cos you have to request access to Soccer forum.

    To be fair the above link isn't personal issues either.
    As a potential rapist forum hasn't yet been created that particular thread was allowed to grow & flourish in AH.

    I posted an article about Wayne Rooney and it was locked and I was told to go to the soccer forum. Fair point but the Rooney story hasnt been restricted to the sports section of all the other media outlets. So why is Boards any different?

    And just take a look through After Hours, why are all of these threads not moved to there correct forums:

    And if my thread was in the wrong forum why not move it instead of locking it?

    It's not often you see actual research being put into someone's internet whinge.

    I just hate women OK. It's not a double standard.
    OP The soccer forum has tight access regulations for a reason. They all went mental and lord of the flies there a while back and this was the solution. So while some topics which might fit in other forums are let slip from time to time (and I disagree with 80% of your selections btw) the only time soccer has been discussed in AH regularly is for the world cup. And that was done with a lot of poster feedback in mind.
    If you want to continue this discussion we can move it to the feedback forum?

    Basically soccer fans need stricter moderation because they're morons.

    Thanks Dr B. I just found it fustrating that there is 101 different threads created on Political and Religious issues and one thread on Rooney wasnt allowed but I understand the situation you're in.

    I locked it because for soccer threads we don't move them over in case the OP (you in this case) don't have access there and won't be able to respond.
    It's preferable to then ask you to get access there and then start your thread.
    If you follow the link I gave you it leads to the main soccer forum with the access forum visible.

    For "major news" like this there probably is a thread over there already you can join, if you have access.
    Does this make sense?
