Honest question. I'm obviously a neophyte to this board, although not to soccer, and I'm absolutely cool with the no results in title of Gamethread rule. However, does having threads such as "America, frick Yeah," and "All we have to do is Draw (paraphrased)" on the board not defeat the purpose?

TIA.

No. Just DWI. The rule isn't changing.



frick you

THE FIRST COMMANDMENT OF THE SOCCER BOARD

No scores in thread titles. None. Whatsoever. It doesn't matter what time of day the match is being played. The founders and veterans have etched this in stone. Don't ever put a score in the thread title. At all. Ever. Period. End of discussion.

You seem very sensitive. I'm sorry you were touched inappropriately as a child. And you don't know me, so stop assuming I'm trolling. I'm asking an honest question.

yes you are absolutely right. me and some of the other level headed soccer board posters have mentioned this numerous times.

for some reason, however, the scores in thread titles is like a really, really big deal to some people. but ruining the game outcome is not? im still not sure but yes that's how it is.

Which you (or someone else in a thread you were very involved in) asked two days ago and we answered. You're trolling, so frick you.

Thanks for answering. Unlike what some people were assuming, I was legitimately wondering.

Oh, so you readily admit it could have been someone else and yet you still think I'm trolling. You really are a miserable person. And again, very classy.

It is a valid rule when the USA is not playing. If you visit the board a USA game, then you will get it spoiled in some capacity.

The rule is mostly built for club season where games are early as shite on Saturday morning.

TN Bhoy is really sensitive about people questioning the non score in thread title for some reason.

Hes at least started updating the OP, which I appreciate

I find it absolutely pointless to discuss something that is just not going to change. We have had this rule for four years, we have Admin approval of it, and the vast majority of us like/understand the rule. It's not going to change, and everyone coming on here crying "put the score in the title" is either (a) useless or (b) trolling, and I don't want either of those to wreck the board.


We will try to accommodate posters who need hand-holding on everything, but we're not changing the rules for a one-month period that comes around every year or so (big US involved/Euro tourneys).

It's not about having the score in the title. It's about when somebody posts a different thread that might have "spoilers" in the title and then some people get so butthurt it's ridiculous. Such as the "Fastest goal in WC history" thread that got whacked earlier.

Why not just have a "USA Score Board" so that people that actually want to discuss the game freely are able to and then TN Bhoy and the 2 other people that get butthurt about spoilers can just stay off it. Seriously.

Ignore TN Bhoy, dudes an arse.

It's a valid question but this explains it:

I've quickly noticed that you curse a lot and are an otherwise arrogant and negative poster.

Is the priest in your signature supposed to be a joke or something??

if didn't want to know the score to the USA worldcup match, why would you go on the soccer Board.

This thread is very much about the rule. Also, I didn't RA that thread and have no clue why it was whacked.


Actually, most of the threads the OP is talking about weren't really spoilers other than "The US did something good". We could have drawn really late on, etc., and the "points" one isn't much of a spoiler at all with how the table system works in group play.



And the no spoiler rule has already helped me, as I wasn't able to watch the CIV-JAP match until the next day.
