bermudapineapple It really sucks that we can't discuss football here on LebGeeks. I remember a while back I started a thread about which teams people support but I was told not to since there was a history of people becoming very offensive and rude in past threads. What the hell is that about and why are people such immature baboons that they cannot discuss a topic with civility? The transfer deadline day ended yesterday and today would have been an awesome day to discuss transfers and prospects for teams this season. It really sucks that we can't do that. Isn't there a way to just ban people temporarily who turn the discussion into an insult-fest?
LifeEngineer Are you saying that Germany team sucks?! Well you should watch your words! :-P Now seriously, Yes we should be able to discuss any topic! I remember once asking about an advise on smartphones and topic was deleted saying this could start a flame war! Imagine just such a stupid and simple topic that could start a flame war! We are geeks in here! So most probably educated and mature people too!
ramy58 It's true I mean just to sign up you have to solve a not-easy-for- non-geeks riddle. I think the people here can handle something like that.
geekevo The problem was just a simple Pythagorean theorem when I joined, probably a lot harder now. Right now i think the most interesting teams are Liverpool, Chelsea, and Barcelona. Liverpool have amazing pace in Moreno, sterling , Markovic, and sturridge. Chelsea have an amazing looking Fabregas with Oscar and hazard behind Costa. And Barcelona have got probably last years best player suarez.
MAS what do you mean we cant discuss football here? about the most interesting transfers, i think Sanchez for Arsenal, Fabregas and Costa for Chelsea, and of course Saurez for Barcelona!

cpt-majed Geek : a knowledgeable and obsessive enthusiast. In my opinion, you can be a computer geek, cellphone geek or even football geek. it's about the attitude And whatever is the subject , maintaining a free-flame conversation is a must
samer LebGeeks is a community for technology geeks. Previous "football threads" have been removed because they lead to a flame-war. That doesn't mean that we can't pull it off, but given how likely it is to happen, we would rather be conservative about it given that it has nothing to do with technology. Starting a public meta-discussion around discussing football isn't going to solve it either. As even if the discussion were favorable and people would promise to "behave", all it takes is a few trolls to convert honest users and ignite their passions. In the future, please PM me, xterm or rahmu if you would like to have a meta-discussion. Don't let this send the wrong message. We trust LebGeeks members. Sometimes we have to take measures to avoid a minority wounding the whole community. In this case, the cost incurred is worth it, as football isn't a part of our subject matter. Thank you.
