The Dressing Room

That's kinda worrying to say I'm seeing you on Saturday. Better be careful.

Don't worry. You're nineteen.

Indeed.

Is there a reason for spelling out the number?

I am slightly aspergic.

Ah, had nothing against it at all. Just looked nice rather than the number.

The problem of WUMing is a very difficult one from a moderation POV. For long time now it's been a part of the identity of football and, whilst that has in some ways improved the football forum, it has also made it worse in the sense that it can be a more hostile place, seem cliquey, and newer members can sometimes be scared off by instinctively snappy responses to their early posts. This thread is one of the way I've tried to alleviate that and I'm working on some posting guidelines to try and set out what is and isn't acceptable. As I'm sure you can imagine, that's proving to be very difficult to do because of the huge subjectivity involved, because it has an effect on the very identity of the forum and because of disagreements on what does and doesn't constitute WUMing- even the illegitimacy of WUMing itself can come under scutiny, especially when placed alongside Trolling.

I do think things have gotten better, however, and of course we're always working to try and improve the forums and are very grateful for any feedback or suggests, so please do PM me or create a thread in AAMM

Well, that's what I think too, yeah. I rarely use numbers, unless they're aesthetically pleasing numbers. Like 73.

WUMing over WUMing. I don't think it gets out of hand that often. It's only moronic when Manchester United lose.

It's because I'm used to people saying I'm 19 not nineteen. Makes a nice change.

So what's aesthetically pleasing about 73?

I am so glad.

I dunno, it's not logical. Now stop asking me these questions, I'm coming across as a complete autist.

I apologise. One more question though, isn't that what Cal says?

Not enough people actually do it well though.

Delta I don't know why you're wasting your time with Gaara et al when I am here tbh

Don't try it, mate

No. It is what I say. Cal stole it from me.
