@Samcro

how odd mn hq posted on the other thread in site stuff but not on here. weird!!

Sorry Samcro
Not sure why this one hasn't been replied to.

As per previous answer (where I had to go and edit my message as your nickname autocorrected to Samsara -isn't that a perfume?!)

We don't do single threads any more. Not sure we have since the early days of MM.

And tbh it is probably the same reason as why we won't have a sexual violence topic as the haters gonna hate, innit and it would probably attract The Wrong Sort if you know what we mean.
Sorry, we know it's annoying if it's annoying you.

Hope all good at Samcro HQ

Perhaps they could do an AS first and add their bit of useful, new information and original thoughts on an existing thread, That would be a start.

If people can't keep weaning threads in weaning, or housebuying threads in property, what makes you think Ched Evans topics will stay in the Ched Evans topic, when people would have no reason to even guess that such a topic would exist?

to be fair this one has CE in it(I refuse to use his name)
and so does the other one in site stuff...
but that is still 37 threads
Hmm

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 09/01/2015 22:09

It's 39 now, and that's only an AS of his full name in the thread title. There are ones when he's referred to as CE no doubt.

I just can't see what's to be gained by new threads starting and rehashing all the same info again and again. It does remind me of the MM threads.

no at lot of them are current and new threads

Yes, but as some of those threads and date from 2012, others from time of his release, and then ones from each attempted signing, it's not a deluge all at once.

(I did think this was the most considerate Christmas for some time, in terms of posters actually using the topic. Very few outside it until very late Nov).

true, but wouldn't it be easier if they were on one or 2 threads.
not 35(at last count!)

"The only problem is that then someone starts a new one"

Yes, there have been a few posters who appear overnight, contributing to them in a fairly distinctive way and sometimes starting them.

I'm glad that wherever and however many times the same inaccuracies are trotted out, there are posters who will answer them. I would not want to see the myths of this case go unchallenged.

and reality is that people are so sick of seeing them that they won't click on them any more and then it will be left to a minority to talk about.

ImBatDog · 09/01/2015 19:15

i all for this, sick of seeing them everywhere.

ItsAllKickingOffPru · 09/01/2015 19:09

Well, it never works with Christmas so I don't hold out much hope it would work for any other bunch of threads on a theme.

outrage??
of course people are angry about him, but how many threads do you need?
35 threads??
over kill.

actually mn hq/tech, what would be great would be if you could implement a filter system, so a poster could have an option to filter out all threads which contain certain words. So type in ched evans into your filter box and bingo, they're all gone.

ZammoMcGuire · 09/01/2015 17:57

i doubt if many posters can name a single other player of Oldham Athletic their kids are busy seeing as role models Grin

SauvignonBlanche · 09/01/2015 17:52

At one point last night it looked like every other thread in Active was about CE.

ZammoMcGuire · 09/01/2015 17:51

all the arguments on it have been aired.

A LOT

Sparklingbrook · 09/01/2015 17:51

I would like a topic so I could hide it. Or a klaxon if anyone actually says anything new on a thread about CE.

I did an AS yesterday just with CE in the title and it brought up 35 threads.

ZammoMcGuire · 09/01/2015 17:44

ONE DREAMS soupster,
