This is a symptom of being too online. People spend too much time on social media and it causes people to lose touch on reality. They sit online all day and see athletes tweet stuff or post stuff on IG and get more annoyed and more annoyed with each post. But what they don't realize is, this exists entirely in their own mind. If someone out there doesn't have a social media account they don't even know what the hell anyone is talking about.

AJ Brown's biggest crime is he had a minor emotional outburst on the sideline. He's done not a single thing wrong, but he's been perceived as bad, so every single thing he does will be perceived through a negative viewpoint. Whether it's actually bad or not. He did an interview with Kay Adams, said nothing wrong, and people tried to turn that into a negative.

DeVonta Smith looked just as annoyed on the field when plays weren't going well but no one accuses him. Granted, AJ should probably just be quiet but he's calling out the media not the team or teammates. He's supporting teammates, coaches and the organization.

Yesterday they finally got the fake twitter page removed. 

 

Just for clarity, he said his page was 'hacked" some time ago but it's been him for awhile. 

It was never a fake twitter account.

Couldnt it be perceived as an appropriate thing to discuss an article that was legitimately written?

Theres been far worse racial stuff said in here. This was just another example of RTK baiting but not the worst at all. This seems like some dumb bot. 

 

They are all dumb bots.

And as I type that, people start calling in with more negativity. It's not going to end anytime soon. 

thisll go the way of TO. The media has a player to lock on to. They know theyll get twitter antics, locker room refusals to speek, and then an eventual sound bite. 

Itll seem that the drama follows him. Partly his fault for playing in to it. Largely on the media for continuing to behave in a way to create these situations involving him.

Eventually he will be too much of a distraction whether by his own doing, or the medias. If he doesnt ask out first (since hates the city's media and doesnt like the fans eating it up), the team will eventually tire of it. One way or another its heading for an ugly split.

The media does have a well established history of driving our best players out of the city.

Do you know if it's a person or a bot looking through keywords?

Initially, it's likely a bot. Then they 'nasty-gram' me in my email so that I can review and fix (or not fix) the 'problem'. Once I do what I have to do, I submit it for review and at that point, it's likely a human looking at it. 

They tend to 'nasty-gram' me a lot on gameday threads for containing 'sexual content'. I do nothing other than submit it for immediate review and within 24 hours, it's cleared... because human eyes can see that gameday threads aren't sexual in any way possible but the bots see something that the think is.

He should get off social media for his own mental health. I don't care about the drama aspect of it, there is no drama. None of this stuff exists where it matters. It only feels like it's real because we're exposed to it. I want AJ Brown to be who he is. I've seen nothing that would hurt the team to this point, so I really couldn't care less.

For this kind if issue, it's happened multiple times, but it's only the past couple of times that Google's threatened to disable our ad serving eligibility. 

The way it's happened in the past has been where they give me the option of fixing the 'problem' or ad serving would be 'restricted'. The Boob thread is an example. Restricting ads would mean that ads would not be 'served' to that specific page. Not a big deal, ads on the boob thread didn't amount to more than a few cents to a dollar or two per year anyway. So the biggest issue there was their complaints showing up in my email every day and annoying me. That's easy to ignore or fix. 

Now they're threating to disable our eligibility over the current issue that we're discussing. That's more of a big deal than 'restricted' ad serving. So it has to be addressed.

How do news sites and other sites get ads but they talk about those type of issues? There are current events that deal with sensitive issues, even in sports there can be quotes from players. We were just talking recently about a rumor about the team and there were posts suggesting a player slept with another player's girl. Does Google just flag that r word in particular or something? People joke around with insults, trash the team and curse that kind of thing. Simply saying the r word can't be an issue, I mean if someone says it's rare for an NFL defensive back to be white that's also talking about the r word.

That's hilarious to me that those threads get flagged lol

I'm sorry you have to cleanup our mess. It's probably really bad when a bad game happens lol

As long as the discussions don't violate the EMB's rules, I don't mind the discussions taking place. Even if I despise the discussion or vehemently disagree with whatever is being said. If it's within our rules, fine by me. 

But the issue is that we also have to play by Google's rules if we want Google to help fund us. So some of those 'fine by me' discussions just have to take place where Google can't see them. 

Why weren't those discussions flagged in the past but they are now? I don't know, maybe Google's tweaked their detection algorithms or made their rules more strict and now they're 'enforcing' those issues more vigorously than they did in the past.

It's just one of those things that we have to address in order to keep our funding growing as opposed to shrinking. 

Lmao, love this.  Love AJ Brown calling out this dishonest clown station.

May not be a popular decision, but if EMB rules impact funding and potentially EMB’s ability to exist, it would make sense to make extancy alterations

thats very interesting. maybe there is no room for the leeway RTK and others have gotten when they do their race baiting. maybe the mods actually have no choice but to act on it now.

 

Agreed, they should act now on users like you that explode into making all racial comments as "jokes".  You're just as immature with no self control just like your crew of trolls that all got banned a year ago.

the issue is that the race baiting is a recurring thing in the blog for a few years now because when @RememberTheKoy gets mad that people criticize Hurts, he brings up that its due to race. He just did this the other day which is why you got the notification. And he has done it many times before.

@T-1000 is another one who doesnt even post much but occasionally shows up just to play that card. 

Unfortunately these guys were doing it back when downundermike and 4for4 quit/got banned. It is what emboldened DUM and 4for4 to continue to keep going harder at these guys until the mods had enough of it. It went from poking fun at silly posts from a bozo like RTK, to feeling they needed to defend their morality that was under constant attack by bozos like RTK. And every time they got a warning from a mod it made them go even harder because they realized they were the only ones would be standing up for themselves as they received little to no help against bozos like RTK. These race guys weren't banned though (they should have been), and have continued with the race stuff even though those other guys are gone.

Im completely against banning members from our small community. But if their presence threatens the very existence of this community, then they need to go too.

We know at this point that those guys arent just going to stop with the race stuff. They repeatedly keep bringing it up.

 

LMAO

"feeling they needed to defend their morality that was under constant attack by bozos like RTK."

Yeah defend their morality under constant attacks by me.  Yeah I was really constantly attacking users I had on ignore for well over a year and never interacted with, much to the tremendous irritation of those stalkers who couldn't handle that I had them on ignore and wouldn't interact with them.  

Ignore feature would help all problems tremendously

But when Howie has cap space, he works magic regardless of other teams existing.

Part of his magical powers is being lucky to work for Lurie in one of the most respected NFL franchises. Players generally want to come here.

 

Don't disagree with that. I just think we're in for super inflated contracts that the Eagles just won't pay.

It wasn't always. But he deleted his social media, then there were some posts that showed up that sounded over the top, and Slay posted and said he just spoke to AJ and that wasn't him. The ones this week have now been deleted. Hard to say which ones were him and not, as he's actually on WIP today. Weird.

I can't answer that with any degree of 'fact', only with a degree of 'paranoia'.

Suppose we were CNN, Fox News or the Washington Post... or some other huge news site. We'd be generating millions in revenue for Google, so Google would look the other way and allow things there that they won't elsewhere. We probably generate hundreds of dollars (at best) in revenue for them, so it's easier for them to jackboot us into complying.

Plus, I don't know if  those big news sites use AdSense or some other form of advertising where they cut the 'middle man' out... Google being the 'middle man'. They (Google) know that we need them more than they need us and that's how they operate.
