So a while back at the request of members of the sub, we agreed to ban Romano from r/NUFC.

As we've switched from normal season to transfer window, there's been some confusion over exactly how we want to implement that ban, so we want your opinions.

The reasons we banned Romano were partly because of his unethical journalism (stealing content from other journalists and claiming it as his "exclusive", putting out pieces he's been paid to do without caring about the truth of it) but perhaps more importantly because of the way he has supported the rapist, Greenwood, and tried to farm engagement and monetise Jota's death. He also posted to say Atsu was alive when he wasn't, giving family and friends hope - basically he is an unpleasant individual who we do not want to give any money or engagement to.

The options ban wise are:

Total ban - no links, no screenshots, no quoting his material or making reference to it, just a total blanket him and his views/news are not welcome on this sub.

Partial ban - no links and screenshots, but people are free to discuss his content, or write a comment with what he has said.

Personally, I'm off the opinion that a total ban is better. There are other reputable journalists who we can use instead and it gives a real statement that we don't condone him and his behaviour. Just in the same way I want Greenwood as far away from our club as possible, I don't want anyone who has apologised for him near us either. If we're allowing people to quote and discuss him it still drives engagement to him and legitimises his content.

However, I know not everyone holds that opinion, and please someone feel free to make opposing argument in the comments (or build on any of the points I've made). Remember to keep disagreements civil (we're all adults and we can not agree with someone without resorting to name calling etc.) and please vote in the poll as well.

So after 5 years of riding a Bakfiets Long, we've switched to a Bike43... But after so long steering with a wheel far in front of me, I can't seem to get the hang of turns at all. It also seems far harder to lean into the turn or maybe that's just my confidence and the speed I'm approaching turns at the minute.

Anyone else who has switched from front loader to a long tail got any tips on adjusting my brain? How long did it take for you to get used to it?

For reference, I've not even been using a normal bike in that time, it's always been a cargo bike.

My dog (IRL) started barking at screen. Normally he is absolutely chill and sleeps while I'm playing. But nope, the same bark he does when a fox comes into our garden.

I should have listened to him.

Died on level 1 🤣

I'm in the UK.

Past week have heard what sounds like clicking/crackling in walls/ceiling of bedroom. Kind of like rice krispies popping in milk. I'm pretty sure it's wasps, but stared at outside of property and can't see any entrance/exit points. Have stared at all sides from the outside for ages and can't see any movement...

Pest company saying it's birds (it's not birds...we've checked roof while it's happening and no birds around). But until I can show some kind of proof I doubt they're going to take me seriously.

Help! I genuinely can't sleep because I'm so stressed.

Basically does what it says on the tin. A lot of you had asked for Romano to be banned. We chatted as a mod team and decided that would only be good. So no more Romano articles/comments/tweets (and please report any you do see)

Thanks
