    Hey Clutch, now that we are closing fast onto the trade deadline, I was wondering if it would be a good time to try out an update-only thread so that folks don't have to wade through the cyberx thread or some other place.

    We could set up some official rules like:

    1.) No reaction posts/gifs/images/anything

    2.) Only reputable twitter sources are allowed (Woj, Feigen, Stein, etc).

    3.) The only clutchfans insider allowed to be re-posted is cyberx

    Perhaps we could post the rules every other page or so to make sure the thread is a success.

    Thoughts?

    I'd add J.R. to the list. The guy is gold as far as instant updates go.

    I don't think it's going to happen. That cyberx thread is an unstoppable force.

    The Cyberx thread will created a black hole and swallow the Internet one day.

    What would be ideal is a thread that had special priveleges where only a select chose few could post under strict instructions to ONLY post news/tweets/links from reputable sources or cyberx information. No one gets to respond. Pin that to the top and then have a reaction thread where people could have a free for all like the cyber thread currently is.

    Didn't heypartner suggest something like this (not for the trade deadline) and that thread didn't work as intended?

    It will swallow us up, but we will come out the other side in the Hangout Image Thread.

    This is assuming the nominated members will want to take part. I wouldn't mind taking part should I be nominated to post in the thread. I have a lot of insides.
