Im just wondering if it is now common policy that all rumour threads are going to be locked? Just this has never happened before and im wondering why start now.

They're certainly part of Web Forums, Always have been

It used to be gossip in the pub or club. A whisper to your mates at work.
A phone call from a mate. This is how the news of signings and players leaving used to get about.
Now, these fora are the modus operandi for getting the word out quickly.
I don't see the problem. It's always happened and I think there is a tendency for the mod process to be invigilated a little too keenly when it's about a player leaving the club, but that's only my opinion and not overt criticism.

The only issue with the Rob Worrincy thing from a mod stance maybe:- and I've not idea what the moderators reasoning was:- but maybe that as Rob is still a fax player, such public speculation may affect his performance on Thursday!! Or maybe not eh!

John Grayshon had what I believe to be the poorest game in a widnes shirt against us and it's been widely rumoured that he's signed for Fev for next season!

Let them have their little power trips

be carefully leon u will get this one locked

Rumours dont bother me at all hence I dont lock them but all we ask just dont say anything libel. Now smile because Wrenchie loves you all!

The players can't hear you talking to your mates down the pub or over the phone. This is a public forum and the everyone connected with our great club can certainly (and I'm sure they do) read all of this. I don't think it helps things on the pitch being [ioverly[/i critical about certain sectors of the club all of the time.

Maybe we should all just take a second to think who may be reading our words before we type them (and make the mods jobs easier )

However I for one enjoy the rumour mill of who's going where

Rumour as it that,, Tortured Soul is going to buy use all a drink,,,

You had already announced he was signing in the build up... very professional

Was talking to Jon's uncle after game (had to hold back my frustartion at a dire game) said he'd of liked to stay but Widnes didn't have cap... seems where the only one's bothering with it tbh with you! Just heard Fev offered a deal to Stanley Gene I mean wtf?

No rumours on forums? May as well close them down once a teams season is over then!

I heard a rumour - they say you got a broken heart.

best thing to do is say nothing at all these days or your banned lol
hang on then what will we read then?

Thats the problem though. I dont know how many moderators there are on here, but you all have different opinions on what threads get locked and which dont. Its quite petty why some threads get locked and it certainly doesnt encourage discussion and debate which surely is what this place is about?

Correct

dry your eyes
