    Just seen said postin the news feed, considering the person posting it commented on boards about using having acsecond sm account from college in the past and proposing to use a similar account to stop unmanaged clubs getting raided ...

    Its all a bit rich!

    Not really, that was an alright idea to preserve the teams. Really has nothing to do with this. Sure anyone could do it...

    For the record, I would love to see the SM forum get a dedicated mod. Someone who knows the game, knows the whole "don't name players" thing, someone who can draw up and sticky a charter and sort things out, and I also think someone who is involved in this gameworld (as the main gameworld).

    Not criticizing the current mods, in fairness. More that in pretty much every other forum I visit, the mods are active posters and participants in whatever topic is under discussion, and rightly or wrongly, I don't think our current ones are. Adding one of the most active users in some form would please me in many ways.


    Personally, my vote goes to Eireann Bear :pac:

    It's not needed. For the most part everyone stays in line here and has the craic. Boards mods can only mod what happens on boards, not on other sites like SM. Also having someone involved in the GW as a mod would be a bad idea, there'd be accusations of bias etc from people the mod has pissed off or whatever, there's also the possibility that the mod may be biased against some managers which wouldn't be fair either

    The "don't name players" thing shouldn't be enforced by a Mod anyway.

    Whether it should or shouldn't, it can't be.

    So if someone suspects something and posts about it they will be banned, am I getting that right?

    Nice system that would be.

    An active mod could edit offending posts as soon as they saw it.

    I got a chat from benfica last night but can't open them, guess I know what about now :P

    I can see they also manage together in another gameworld too, can't help but be suspicious :o

    I'm in atleast 3 if not 4 GW's that Tupac is in and I'm sure o've dont a transfer with him in most worlds ... so, I must be tupac :rolleyes:


    I've also done a ton of deals with Madrid, Newcastle and Barca in our GW.

    Jovetics / Pjanic deal with Barca,
    Affelay from Barca
    Pjanic / Tello/Roberto dealbarca

    Modric / Rodriquez deal with madrid
    Higuain / Modric deal with madrid
    Praet deal with Madrid

    Santon from Newcastle
    M'biwa from Newcastle
    Youngster from Newcastle

    How many account have I got so?

    Like I said on SM, this might just be down to the fact that the 2 parties in question just really DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER and have called each other out on technicallities when trying to move clubs.

    I told my brother in law to take the celtic job earlier in the game, he created a boards acount and posted here twice, once to say he applied and once relating to a player ... not everyone post here every 10minutes

    But it wouldn't be against the site rules and couldn't, and shouldn't, be something enforceable by a Mod.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,166 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    Finally a bit of rebuilding done at Shakhtar. Thanks to the Barca manager for selling Muniesa. Plus picked up a couple of youngsters. I can't sign anyone decent so might as well bring in a few yoots.

    Nope. Were stopping witch hunts against people. If you have a suspicion then pop me a mail or one of our mods or an admin and belive you me I'll be one of the first too call for action if the claims are true. But other wise the thread will meltdown with people all claiming multiple accounts every second post and afaik making allegations of multiple accounts on boards in threads is against the rules??

    Lots of threads have charters. If an active mod came in here the game would get a charter for this thread and one rule would be not too mention free agents in the thread

    I've said all I'm going to say on the matter on both SM and on the managers waiting list on boards...


    Talk about his all ye want folks, long and short of it is this, IF I do have 2 accounts, I will be found out and I will be turfed out.....


    Guess we will just have to wait and see ;)


    Oh, and about posting about multiple accounts and dodging consequences, before you go & publicly accuse someone of cheating, at least make sure your right, otherwise IMO you are the one in the wrong & you should face those same consequences that you asked for.....

    I tend to agree that there is an argument for having a Soccer Manager Mod.

    Not sure if that's possible, or if it could cause boards any problems, but there have been many rules accepted on here that are accepted as rules for the boards.ie GW, and it would do no harm to have someone that can enforce them on this forum.

    There are differences with the Copa del boards, The GOOD League and others, so it would involve a defined set of rules (Charter) for each main thread for each GW. A bullet list of accepted rules is a simple way of doing it without it getting too complicated.

    Not entirely unenforceable at all imo.

    ____

    There is the issue of what's been alleged on SM recently, whereby a boards mod would have no power to do anything there, however.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,995 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I've seen different boards have different variations of rules; spoiler time limits, for example, vary depending on what board you're on.

    A charter saying "Please do not name players who are under transfer bids unless you are the manager who owns the player" would be easily enforceable imo, since all a mod would have to do is edit the post when they saw it.

    It could for sure. Someone needs to talk to a current mod about it and see what can be done
