You gotta balance board flow with people's rights to their opinion. Yeah, I'm sick of the Stallworth threads too.
But you'd have me merge a thread wishing to compare Randy Moss and Stallworth - into a thread about Stallworth being made an offer? The poster that started that thread felt the discussion was deserving of it's own thread... I checked my email and I didn't get one single reported post on it, so I assume you all agreed with him that it was worthy of conversation on it's own. Personally, I just chose to ignore it because I don't want either one of them on this team.
By the way, some merges are hard to spot. Some mods leave redirects, some don't, some change the thread title to reflect a merge, some do not. I assure you, some Stallworth threads have been merged, when they're about the same thing... i.e. the "offer" the Pats made to him. But just because the thread is ABOUT Stallworth doesn't mean it all belongs in one giant thread.
Again.... if you disagree, hit that "report a post" button. We appreciate the heads up, and it's always easier to merge a new thread into an old one as opposed to merging two giant threads with their own conversations into one. So report the post, and report it early.
That being said, I don't disagree that the football forum might be able to use another mod or two, I have no idea how Ian feels about it though, so I'm certainly not speaking for him here.
