Why are negged GIFs edited/deleted? What rule are they breaking?
It's noice, nothing more. If you want to neg, then neg, but dont tell the world about it. THe colored stars next to the poster will tell everyone the board's market value of a poster. Posting negged stuff creates a mob mentality that is counter productive to the discussion and board culture.
yeah, but the make me laugh...
Need more positive leaders on the board. You'll guySm are better than that.
This was probably said in jest, but I actually think its dead on. This board does need more "adult supervision". Its not about being overly rigid with moderation, its about not letting situations spiral out of control to begin with. This place can be like any mob or herd mentality. If allowed to spiral out of control, it can become a full fledged riot that will do nothing positive for anyone. I think the mods need to be more proactive in having people "tone it down a bit" from time to time, to keep things from getting out of control. It would also help if some of the "mods" werent leading the charge in much of the hysteria, because that just makes it that much worse. Many of the sheep will just take their cues from them, and then everyone tries to outdo themselves to see who can be more extreme and outrageous in their "outrage".
I understand D$s point about criticizing coaches, and I agree they are pros and should be open to criticism, even harsh criticism. But the over the top insults, personal derogatory stuff, I think is over the line, in terrible taste, makes us look like a bunch of @ssclowns, and is detrimental to the program. I think there needs to be some balance here between fair and even tough criticism, and the dumpster fire of hate and venom that this place has been for weeks now.
I mean we all supposedly want what is best for this program. I dont see how thread after thread, day after day, hour after hour of people calling our staff every insult known to man kind, telling recruits they would be stupid to come here, etc.... is anything but BAD for the program we all supposedly support. Its not that I have any personal sympathy or feel sorry for these guys, they are big boys and make big money, but it HAS to be hurting this program. There is NO WAY you can tell me that any recruit, player or their families that come on here would not be MASSIVELY disgusted and turned off by our program after reading the stuff that is posted on here non stop. I mean, real talk, WTF are we all doing here? Do we want a better program, or do we want to say "Ha Ha I was right"?
