Mentioning other relevant scores in match threads

[penzance pilgrim]

I notice mentions of a couple of other scores that had some relevance to Argyle in the relegation battle quickly got deleted off the QPR match thread. Is that a forum rule? If so I'd have to question it. If you're following a thread where either promotion or relegation are affected by what's happening elsewhere surely you're going to want to know about it. I like to look at other clubs' fan forums and mentions of scores that are relevant to their team's fortunes regularly appear in the live threads.

We don’t allow it on the main match thread as it clutters up the chat, but we usually have another thread going for other relevant scores.

Surely on a night like tonight, where we're keeping an eye on other scores, it's part of the match-day flow of chat to say something like "Sod it, Millwall have scored" ? I'm not suggesting a free-for-all - only relevant scores to our situation should be mentioned. Do you think it's something worth sounding out general opinion among forum members on because we seem the only forum I've come across where this match-day rule exists?

When it was allowed it did become a free for all, getting updates on Exeter and the like which people complained about.

It raises the possibility of the scenario where if we're reliant on another team's result on the last day of the season, it can't be mentioned. That seems a bit daft.

If it comes to the last match it’ll be likely we’ll allow the relevant scores.
