This is a bit daft and some people are making themselves look overbearing and over important on here. Absolutely no discussions on this message board have an influence on the club and the decisions they make. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But we should be free to have any discussions, regardless of whether they fit the official line of the club or not. This is an unofficial message board after all. What are the option 4 blockers so afraid of?!! Name and shame! |

What are the option 4 blockers so afraid of?!! 100%. We're not arguing to keep the badge at this point, or even that the club can offer that as a 4th option. We're only asking that an unofficial message board which has never (to my knowledge at least) censored discussion before, stops censoring this discussion and allows us to have the poll which some of us would like to have. Genuinely, has a topic ever been censored by the moderators of this board before? Has a request for a poll ever been refused? |

To be clear, no one is stopping you discussing it, you are in danger of making a melodrama out of this for no real reason. Discuss away!

We're being stopped from doing a poll with a particular option, the results of which would lead to a discussion. So yes, we're being censored.
It's only a melodrama because the admins are acting like the Gestapo.

Just looked up Mike's posts and it's clear he's pro-change. No surprise.
I don't have an issue with anyone having an opinion, regardless of whether they're an admin, and I appreciate that a poll on here won't change the route the club is clearly looking to take.
But I still maintain that trying to shut down the discussion because the possible outcome doesn't fit your own desires is a sh*tty way to moderate a fans forum. There is no need to stop a poll with an Option 4, seeing how popular Option 4 is relative to the 3 official options and discussing it from there.
Shame on you Mike. Shame on you.

What have I done?!
I didn't include Option 4 because I'm pretty sure that the decision to change the name had been decided on 100%. It wasn't meant to shut down any views on whether we should have a new badge, because I thought that discussion was going on in the other thread. This was just to ask an opinion on the three new options offered.
I'm surprised there's never been a binary Change - Don't Change poll. I think that would be more relevant than a four way poll anyway. There's always room for another poll on my mind!
Whatever, I'm sorry if anyone is pissed with this poll, it wasn't my intention.

It's not anything you've done, nothing related to this initial post. There was another poll with an Option 4, but admin deleted it. |

This is rivaling FAB in the "meltdown over totally innocuous thing" stakes.
Don't want to speak for Mike but I get the impression he doesn't give two hoots about the contents of the poll – he was just doing routine admin duties of clearing up largely duplicate threads. The suggestion that he did so under duress from the club is, frankly, hilarious to me.
Anyway, I suggest a way forward might be for this thread to be locked (sorry foolhandy) so the coast is clear for one of the badge truthers to start a poll with any options they want. Then we can get back to doing what we do best on this messageboard: ripping into our new signing before he's kicked a ball and calling for our DoF's head 🤷♂️
When does the football start again?

I don't know Mike, but I'd say it's far more likely that he didn't even notice that there was any difference in the options when he decided to delete the other poll. |
