Following on from the debate about cats and dogs last week regarding what posts should be removed etc I thought this was very interesting reading on the Posh forum...
Can a moderator please explain why we can't discuss the performance of Peterborough United's football manager on Peterborough United's official fan forum?
It makes no sense whatsoever that we can't post about the most important person at any football club.
My brother has informed me that mumsnet have issued warnings over the weekend that fans can't discuss the manager there either, so is this a pact between the two sites or can't you think for yourselves? I've also been informed that moderators on mumsnet are discussing Steve Evans and allowing that to stay.
I can't imagine any other football forum banning their members from discussing the manager of their clubs.
Now I never thought "mumsnet" would be the place to host football discussions, I thought it was for mums who want advice from other mums and the like.
If you type mumsnet into google it says
Mumsnet makes parents' lives easier by pooling knowledge, advice and support on everything from conception to childbirth, from babies to teenagers.
It seems odd that Mums net would warn people not to discuss the manager of a team they support.
But regarding the Posh forum not allowing fans discussing the manager I think it's a good time to reflect on how lucky we are that this forum isn't like that.
