Just in case anyone needed a refresher for silly season, ~~I stole this from /r/gunners~~ I made this.

Took the liberty of moving Wheatley to Tier 4 lol

As a community, we can discuss and make changes.
- Thank you for your hard work.
  
  Blood, sweat and tears went into this post. Don't take it for Granit.
This needs to be added to the sidebar @I_am_the_grass
- Had a chat with EFG today. The /r/gunners mods will be taking over soon. I'll leave these changes to them. I just hope they keep vibe of /c/gunners the same and not try to replicate /r/gunners. I love how this community has shaped and grown over the last few days.
  
  Hmm. Interesting. I would have preferred us be our own separate entity. But they've done an amazing job on Reddit so I guess it's fair.
  
  Just want to give you credit though, you did a fantastic job getting this community up and running during a tough time. Allowed this move to happen in the first place.
I was also thinking, since the Karma race isn't as heavy over here, maybe we should manually include Tiers in the title of posts? At least until a flair system gets incorporated.
- I am busy creating bot to put in upcoming fixture list on the sidebar for c/reddevils. I was planning to add features to automatically tag posts with tiers. Will let you know how that works out
- Is this possible right now, don’t feel like that feature is available.
  
  No. There's no flairs on Lemmy. I was just envisioning people checking this list and manually making their post title look something like this:
  
  [Tier 0] [Gunnersaurus] Arsenal Sign Declan Rice
  
  Or something like that.
Thought I might as well pin this
WHEATLEY IN THE MUD
Can we please sticky this for the transfer window and follow the same rules as R/gunners (T4- in the daily discussion only)

Would like to prevent some of the toxicity that is rampant in that sub.
Feel like leakedlineups should be tier 3 at least, seems he has some actual sources
Can we also add a Tier 5+ for Doc, AFCstuff, and the rest of the ITKs that everyone seems to F5 to death? If they are more credible than we can add them appropriately, like Teamnewsandtix
- I don't think Tier 5s should be a thing.
  
  If they're that low/unreliable then they're just adding unnecessary fluff to the community. Tier 4s are already really unreliable.
  
  That's why the Sun was banned on r/gunners iirc.
- I'm with Roxamir on this, there's literally no point for anything more than Tier 4 cuz Tier 4 is already pretty much a guess half the time. Anything that's not listed I'd say is feel hyped at your own risk; obviously there are leaks in an organisation of this size but their reliability is not to be trusted. With that being said, I'm personally not gonna remove those kinda posts cuz we need the engagement and cuz I'm also guilty of F5ing some. No S*n though. That's not based on reliability but on morality for me.
