I may be merging "Leak Watch" with "Bhatia/Saksena/Paladini BrowNose Watch"
I think "Sycophant" is probably a nicer way of phrasing it

"Sycophant Watch"
You have definately got it right there, I'm not sure if the term "Sycophant" goes far enough ?!
What we are dealing with here is a Post Modern, Post New Labour branch of Sycophantism.
I've never encountered the likes of it before.

And I guess for some, it's going to take a little time to appreciate that "The ITKs" may no longer be...."ITK"
And like the aging gun-slinger, trying to live off their old reputation..

When one tries to spin money spent in the last few years - by minimizing transfer fees paid and totally ignoring wages paid out to these players (In long contracts) and Loan fees paid; and AGents paid; and maybe signing on fees...And when trying to change the terms of what was previously said. Well I'm not sure what to call it, but it's something.

Actually I'm now waiting for a post squaring the circle of how the "How Little QPR Spent" (which even if it had been accurate, ignored wages etc) fit into the actual transfer fees spent on players announced by the club in the accounts (a year behind). Edit: I may have to add a "Denigration Watch" component to this as in ... qprreport.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=11784Current and Past "statements" of note

Given recent events, I guess I really will have to keep this updated. Things Said by one man! March 2009 "QPR Report who is a anti poster can get a merry band of followers...Not sure if the guy is behind bars or in a old people's home...leading a merry band of followers on the negative side of the club... "...If you question their tactics and deliver good arguments, they will ban you. Its their own little world and they don't like any interference....this board has a certain clique" March 2009 "cannot see how someone who always s.lags off the club at everyt opportunity could have even been invited" LEAKWATCH BORROWDLE www.wearetherangersboys.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56045

"leading a merry band of followers on the negative side of the club..."
Is that an assertion or admission, that there is a negative side of the club?

"...If you question their tactics and deliver good arguments, they will ban you. Its their own little world and they don't like any interference....this board has a certain clique" Not only is that an absolute lie, again from the self-confessed liar, it's also complete fantasy in so much that every time Pete has posted here, under whatever name, he was offered polite argument in reply, only to ignore and start another thread challenging people to argue with him. When it was pointed out to him that we were wanting to debate openly with him and he was ignoring the opportunity he simple changed his username and kept up the same tactic. Laughably he was joined by another proven liar in an attempt to flame the board and after several silly attempts was finally banned along with his sidekick for breaking board rules. How he can then post the above purely shows his willingness to insult other QPR fans with lies and smears. It's all a bit beyond me to be honest, but there you go. Having said that, there is a belief on this board that now Ish and Ami are in charge the leaks coming out of the club will stop. I disagree. I believe that more than one person receives these leaks and that they come from more than one person at the club. It has always happened in football at all clubs and will continue to do so. Looking to blame anyone for this is therefore pointless. It's what a person does with the information that is important. I assume most are told in secrecy and most uphold that. Some might let out a cryptic comment and some might even not be able to hold it in and tell at least one other. It's not really a problem and part of the fun of being a supporter for some. A rumour is a rumour at the end of the day, some sites have posters who are more interested in rumour over debating the past and vice versa. There is no reason why such sites can't exist side by side. In fact they do. It's when another site's moderator feels the need to flame this message board with others in tow and then lie about it back on his own board that one has to question the motive behind such behaviour. I would rather not as all I, like most here, want is to talk QPR. However the lies amongst us have to stop as some are taking the message board wars far to seriously and at the end of the day, it's just opinions. Some choose to make theirs in person and can be responded to, others play games and try pointless tactical point scoring from afar. Please let's knock all this watching and suspicion on the head and just enjoy the rumours or choose to ignore them instead. That goes for the lies and other boards as well.

Mark very often has excellent, clear-headed and sage posts. I would do well to follow much of his advice.

Did I set my account up correctly or am I missing something?
Thanks

There was a time, which I thought we had moved on from, that this person who ran this other board, used to make derisory comments about this site and its moderators. As I Said then - and as developments with this messageboard have clearly proven: "The Dogs bark and the Caravan move on"

Is it me? but it seems 90% of users here are Global moderators? A high number of us are moderators certainly and there would be more if others had accepted as well believe it or not! It's so the board is run by more of a community of sensible posters rather than following the normal trend of having just 3 or 4 people try to set the rules. It also affords the moderators more time away from the board as being a moderator is an unpaid thankless task and unfortunately puts you in the firing line of others whom you previously had no contact with and no reason to dislike. It's kind of strange how the board has turned out that way, granted, but it's how we like and it works for us. Yes: a point.

Talk about big yourself up ;D In all honesty I think the mods on this site do a cracking job, and personal I would like to thank them for all the hard work that goes into the running of the site.

I like this site and think it is one of the best out there. At least theres none of the childish schoolground bickering that goes on, on others. Re leaks, i think as Mark says, its what you do with them. when they are used to make you out as some sort of 'special' fan then thats pretty sad in my eyes. I cant stand all this 'in the know' crap that some spout.

There are over 400 members but only 305 are global moderators. Your percentage is incorrect Arthur. That post was tongue in cheek just in case someone decides to take it literally. Perhaps you'd care to ofeer a view on the subject of the leaks rather than the number of moderators, or is that a daft question? Mark, what an excellent post, absolutely spot on.
