RiversideRed 1,216 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It's a shame because when I first joined the forum he was one of the most reliable ITK's and I would look out for his posts. Don't get why you'd want to make someone who provides ITK information want to stop posting it. None of them have to do it but choose to share it with fellow fans. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I never take anything anyone says as 100% fact regardless of the poster - the information is always coming from a source with some bias so it may just be a viewpoint instead of just fact. But I never put anyone down for posting information, unless it's clear trolling and/or DZ. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This site is dreadful on mobile. To be fair, the site runs for free for members and I'm pretty sure Rob and possibly others just take the hit, with the only real help being ad revenue. Rob has pretty much always tried to resolve the ad problem when he has time to but it's the ad providers that take the ***. Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,057 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Deals and plans change all the time ... Other clubs interfer ( Man U and a certain South American dude) ... Prime example ... Sometimes players act up and won't get signed ... McContract ... As many others have said .. It's RUMORS .. Take what you want from it .. But don't shoot the messenger ... It's been boring here for days, since all you pitchfork people acted out .. If you see a post you don't agree with or find unbelievable - just scroll on or disagree in a nice way! Wow - This must be the most serious post I ever wrote out of 6842 3 Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,057 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Well - As I see it .. It's also a bit like a 7 year old who runs away from home with his teddy bear and a sandwich .. It's the internet, so if someone hurt your "feelings" then you have let them ... 😉 But still - people should be nicer to people giving information they have HEARD 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If we could distribute ads/no-ads offerings via a membership scheme that would be an interesting proposition, I don't think many would take it up though so it's like... what's the cost of doing the work of adding a 'premium' membership onto the site vs. the money brought in. My guess is Rob would be at an even greater loss, which doesn't seem particularly fair either. It's a bit cack for sure but if people can put up with DZ, they can put up with ads that occasionally get pretty bad. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The most annoying adds are the ones that lurks for a few seconds and then appear where you are about to click! Sneaky ***! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Every new user deserves benefit of the doubt and some people do need to take transfer rumours a bit less seriously. It's a shame someone like SDS doesn't feel they want to post anymore. In fairness to the mods on the Juninho23 account, it appeared right after the 'JunoX' account was banned, saying the exact same stuff. He was banned a few months back under Juninho10 for constant spamming that Wilder had signed with Burnley. Then very similar usernames kept popping up this window with the exact same 'ITK' posting style... He was just playing it a bit straighter than usual with the newer one and even joked that he had plenty more email addresses. It's a bit weird how some people are acting like he was this misunderstood ITK who's been tragically hounded from the board. The guy just reads rumours on Twitter and posts them as fact (in this case the Mungosmum Giles rumour which turned out to be true), then the facade soon drops and he starts being an ass. Clearly a WUM 🤷♂️ 5 Link to post Share on other sites
