The NQAT Forum

Do we even need matchday? It's just matchday. Once it's done, I don't think anyone revisits it.

Also we should keep it in line with twitter, FB, reddit etc who have all had to clean up their act. There are laws against online bullying, pile ons, dogwhistling, threats, harassment and obviously racism & misogyny. I aren't accusing anyone and certainly not avoiding blame myself. But the internet is very much not the wild west anymore. That applies to Rant.

Moreover it's in line with Ed / NQATs values and beliefs. NQAT and the other contributors on the pod, on twitter etc have been strong on Ronaldo, Giggs, racism, misogyny - the lot. This is Eds forum at the end of the day. He pays for it. He's also liable, I think? With this in mind having posts that refer to black people as "black pudding" need to go asap. Back em up if you must but get em off the main view.

I would also get rid of the dead topics. Threads which haven't been posted in for years. We use the forum differently now. We tend to post on matches and transfers. If people want to talk about other stuff eg politics, other sports then we can set up new topics for them as and when.

I would like Rant to be a part of NQAT and hopefully pull some members from there. But also just reflect more accurately what this place is now.

The Rant Forum -> 45 topics
Anything But United -> 5 topics
Match Day -> 55 topics

The Den -> 5 topics
The Commons -> 3 topics
Other Sports -> 0 topics

Happy to do this if that's what people want. If there are any threads here presently that people wanted to keep then they could bump them with a post now to save them from the grim pruner.
