It seems like a lot of sports subreddits are making the decision to ban Twitter links today, and I’m wondering if /r/FantasyPL should do the same. While Twitter can be useful for quick updates, it also comes with a lot of issues:

• Region-locked or broken links make the content inaccessible for many.

• People without Twitter accounts often can’t view the linked content properly.

• They encourage low-effort posts, which don’t add much to the discussion.

• Twitter itself has become less reliable as a platform, and many users dislike supporting it.

• The site has also become a cesspit of racism and toxicity, which many of us probably don’t want to amplify or support.

Other subs are already moving away from Twitter links, opting for screenshots or summaries instead. Should we follow suit? Could this improve the quality of posts and discussions here? Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.

This is a subreddit ABOUT A VIRTUAL GAME.

It's not a sub about a sport, politics or anything that has a massive real life effect.

It's a game.

Everyone enjoyed this sub when it had memes, humour, dogs picking captains, people having fun, posts being decided by upvotes and downvotes.

And now "we have stricter rules"

Yeah, because that's what subreddits about virtual games need.

What's next?

"Sorry, you can't post a confirmed tweet about starting 11, please use "CONFIRMED FIRST ELEVE..." actually no, you need to be an approved user to post in that thread. So we'll have an automated bot to post the first 11 of every team so people won't "karma whore""

Oh, wait... did you just make a "FUCK MY LIFE MY CAPTAIN IS BENCHED" comment in the rant thread? Sorry, there is so much negativity in the world anyways. This is a serious sub with serious rules. You've been muted for 7 days. Use this time to reflect on your negative comments."

Someone posts a useful statistic?

"Hey, we don't want to flood this sub with statistics and analysis, ever since banning memes this sub has been flooded with it. So please, go to the special subreddit that we created - r/FantasyPremierAnal where you can post your PL analysis."

The list can go on and on.

This sub is just soulless these days.

It was much better many years ago when it was just a group of people having fun over a silly game.

There's no need to take everything so seriously.

And yes, I get the irony.

So, while we have a international-football-week, I wanted to post this rant.

I just wanted to get this off my chest.

I am not shitting on anyone, and I mean no disrespect to anyone.

So with that said... see you in the rant thread and let's hope we all have a great FPL weekend.

Is he really THAT bad, I never hear anyone talk about him especially being Leicesters right winger. The cheapest way into Leicesters attack.
