Clarifying Forum Decriptions - TalkCeltic

HH · 09-02-2005, 03:39 PM

I think to save anymore hassles we need to clarify exactly what the Celtic Forum is for. I really dont mind what people write, as BathBhoy can testify, but I dont want to go into the celtic forum and read poems or polls on bigotry or anything else other than footballing or merchandising or supporter issues (not their personal ones about rashes, razors or republicans) but season tickets, associations etc

I think the problem is the wording of the celtic forum.....

""This is the forum to talk about our beloved team, Celtic. Talk about anything Celtic related in here!!""

This gives license to anything I'm afraid to say and it clogs things up.

As I say, and anyone who knows me will agree I am a bastion of free speech, the forum is getting messy. It might be a better wording could prevent ambiguity...like

""This is the forum to talk about our beloved team, Celtic. Talk about any Celtic related football, business, fans issues or merchandising.""

I am sure this could be improved but you get the jist. Saves any fall outs.

I am including a poll on this for feedback. Just two options. Either 'generally agree or disagree'. Finally, as I said, the forum is great for diversirty as well as footballing matters, and if someone wants to talk politics, freedom or farting then let them do so within reason, but i suggest that they should be in the pub forum.

Sure I agree with that. But let's try and not get involved in the politics of what we should and shouldn't do on thsi forum. If something isn't appropriate a mod/admin will identify it and sort it. Thankfully we're doing OK for now regards to stuff thats not appropriate on the site.

i see where your coming from but most people have an idea about what to post, and by changing the wording imo it won't really stop people from posting something in the wrong place.

I'm not sure I follow.

I wasnt identifying a 'content' issue, just a 'geographical' one. Suits me just fine either way. I thought the 'requests and feeback' threads were the place to bring up these points.

Might be the case, that a wording change wont stop people posting in the wrong place. But it might as well.

From my point of view, I just want to come onto the site and know where to look for stuff without fucking around. If the mods feel happy to redirect posts its no skin of my nose.
