No, actually the original post I made in the thread was deleted because 'it belongs on the scandal' board.
Any help with who should I be PMing?

I would say it was deleted because it referenced a fairly damaging rumour that has nothing to do with football.

Deletions don't say which mod actioned it. Doesn't matter as we can see why it was deleted. I'm happy not to go into the specifics of the sledge. Nobody else has opted to speculate in the media.

This convo has gone to PM. Let's keep it there.
Bluemour Discussion Thread VS List Management Thread
Seems like one has morphed into the other and we now have two threads discussing the same things.
Any chance that this situation can be reviewed ??
I understand why the Bluemour Discussion Thread was created but it isn't serving that original purpose now.

While I tend to agree, I'm not sure much can be done. Most rumours tend to be about players coming or going and the conversation inevitably turns to what we would get/give up for said players. The topics tend to lend themselves to devolve into list management type stuff.
So why have two threads discussing the same thing ??

The list management thread doesn't really deal with rumours because rumours aren't limited to list changes. A rumour about a list change can find its way into the list thread though.
A rumour about list changes will just about always progress to a lit management type discussion, but not all rumours are list related. I know I'm repeating myself, but it's that simple. Different conversations will sometimes end up taking similar paths, especially when a new piece of information is introduced. You would have to rely on posters in the rumour thread saying 'let's take this conversation to the list management thread' and that just isn't going to happen. A mod can prompt a move to a different thread, but then you get people jumping in 3 pages back (or much more with the speed of those two threads) and trying to catch up, while replying to something before seeing the mod's post.
I share your annoyance, but I can't see much of a way around it.
If you look at the Bluemour Discussion thread, it has gone way past just discussing rumours, its become a full-on list management discussion.
I noticed you have twice said "I share your annoyance, but I can't see much of a way around it" but I beg to differ.
Keep the "Bluemour" thread for the specific posting of rumours just like it is now. Delete the discussion thread completely and let all list management discussions, rumour or otherwise take place in the one thread.
If the rumour is pertaining to say .... a board challenge, then that could be discussed in a separate thread that is dedicated to the board.
If the rumour is pertaining to say .... membership packages, then that could be discussed in a separate thread that is dedicated to the membership packages etc.

We already have one (Carlton related) :-

OR
Non Carlton related :-

I think the idea of getting rid of the Rumour Discussion thread has merit. It does seem like the Rumour Discussion and List Management threads have become double-ups for a while now. The standalone Blumour Thread is still a great idea that should remain - just don't need the separate discussion thread IMO. Almost all the rumours we get in the Blumour thread are related to list management and I cant even think of the last one that wasn't. If by chance there is a rumour related to something else, we pretty much have all other areas of footy covered by threads anyway, so they could just go in an appropriate thread.

We'll never get this one right. It relies on posters to be aware enough to post in the appropriate place or mods to spend far too much time moving masses of posts.
Rumours aren't fact and as such could ruin a proper list management thread, but list management is a topic that encroaches on everything else including media threads, draft threads, coaching threads, player threads and rumour threads.
We have basically made the rumour discussion thread the sacrificial lamb (sorry Jed) for the past few years to protect the discussion in the other threads.

what happens if a rumour turns out to be unsubstantiated?

Then it is perfectly at home lost in the chaos of the Bluemour Discussion Thread ... to either sink never to be seen again or quoted for the purposes of ridicule ... by me.

We continue to talk about it for the next 18 months.

The same thing that happens when an unsubstantiation turns out to be rumour.

Awesome tipping Dr SBYM.Congrats
Ta BG...had a golden run in the middle of the season, found it settled down a bit in the second half...
Still sad that never tipping Carlton cost me six tips...I guess I deserve it...
