Its hilarious how butthurt everyone else gets when you say Philly floods the road games like no other and Philly is loud in the playoffs like no other.

but, but, KC will be there in droves... maybe half a drove?

I wonder how many half a drove actually is🤔

Do not harass other posters or engage in personal attacks.  If someone replies that you've gone too far, back off or they may report you.

You’ve called me a troll and insulted me numerous times the last two days. You post on a public message board. You write posts that confuse me on the public message board. So I use the board supplied emoji to show my confusion. Get over it.

That is a good suggestion and something we are actually talking about.  I was going to set up the group and special forum tonight to test it for future situations. 

Horrible idea. If I were to be moved to RnR only, it may as well be a ban.

There is nothing to discuss in there. Threads are put there to die. No one goes there to talk about football. They go there to say stupid stuff. Or, stupid threads are moved there and no one posts in them anymore.

Its not a pre-ban step. If you can only post in RnR, its equivalent to a ban. Its basically a non-functional part of the board, serving no purpose at all.

 

And who is "we" that are discussing this idea? Cant be 1 or 2 active mods making these decisions. When you guys have bad ideas, everyone else has to suffer. You need more outside input. You are here for the betterment of OUR experience. Its not about the 2 of you. We need less mod activity. Not more. Disable the report function. When the thin skinned cant report, theyll learn to stay out of here, or use the ignore feature on those who bother them. When swastikas are posted you guys will see it and reasonably can ban for that. No reporting needed. No suspensions or warning points needed. Self moderation, with you guys only stepping in for the big stuff, like racism.

Side note...

"Give it up, ya'll" should be retired, especially when used by female "entertainers" talking about football players...

@TorontoEagle

Confused about what, exactly? Use your response to explain the other one too, if you want....

New Mod 4 is on a drinking break so go for it.

Where did this thought stem from?

Why only female entertainers?

Why is entertainers in quotation marks?

Here’s the problem new guy…the rules are as clear as mud. A number of posters are seemingly allowed to throw around insults (there’s been a number of them in here today trashing the two guys who got booted). When another group does the same they’re suspended/banned.

Yet another group was allowed to openly race bait, by a mod saying it was ok! 
 

So for all those saying follow the rules….what are the rules? What rule did 4x4 break this time to get heaved?

We have mod 12 who wasn’t active for a long time suddenly spring to life and ban a long time poster right before the Super Bowl with a very nebulous reason of "enough is enough”. No chance for an appeal, no discussion of it other than tough. From what I can gather, it comes down to a number of you being thrown off by a stupid emoji. Just think about that for a second. Ridiculous.

 

Go birds. 

Yep, and the safe space bleeps who want the drama of clicking report but can't hit the ignore button or deal with the mean words sail off without a problem.

That's the point. That type of talk is meant for RnR

That's a horrible idea lol

It's honestly taking this forum to a level that is horrible. Va is paying for this and most don't get this goes beyond 4for4 being banned and the issue we are pissed about isn't being addressed. The "who cares if we lose long-term posters" approach isn't going to work long-term considering members aren't being funneled here from their site. So yeah if VA is cool losing people instead of addressing the issue that's his choice, but that's not a good business model. Neither is letting people get away with doing whatever they want if they are warned, but this isn't cut and dry like the NSDAP symbols.    

Posting here for years on end is no excuse for being a relentless a-hole and trolling other longtime posters. Instead of blaming posters for not using the ignore feature (although I use it fairly wisely and accurately), what’s so bad about holding posters accountable to a certain standard?

It really shouldn’t be a difficult thing for a group of adults in an online community to have a baseline of civility and maturity.

Someone asked about the very form of harassment you are still using (the emoji)

Someone said THEY use it to thumbs down.

I replied  They -1   (to imply consequences of bad behavior)

There is no rule against using a banned account as an object lesson. It was literally impossible for me to harass that person in any way on a board he is banned from.

Your tantrum was to call me a name. I told you to stop. You dropped an F-bomb emoji on me like a 10 year old. Then you ran to another thread to call me a Karen again.

You were reported all three times and you will be reported every single time you do this in the future.

I did nothing wrong and you violated the rules 3 times in 3 posts.

 

As to us yelling at each other a few months ago? Get over it. I am careful not to call you names or harass you since I know the path you are on and I don't want to provide a ladder back up. If you and 5 people are stalking and harassing with emojis and I explain the behavior is something a child would do its not calling you a name. Its pointing out bad behavior that only applies to you because you are actively being a troll.

 

I will continue to explain the harassment of you or others when people wonder why they are randomly being harassed. If it hurts your feelings then you have a clear and obvious path to make it stop.

I'm watching the NFL Network feed. Highlighting the most relevant points of a very short post.

...or are you just spoiling for a conflict? You have chops, why the pedantic approach?

You never argue with anyone. It wont hurt you.

What it will do is keep garbage posts from RTK out of here. And his troll buddies like SkippyX, justwin, jsb, etc. Those guys have all done the same exact things that they report 4for4 and DUM for doing. They are not needed in here either.

With self moderation, when those guys cant report anymore, they leave or use the ignore feature. And then you dont get the garbage posts from 4for4 and DUM because those other idiots aren't around to attack.

Self moderation cleans up both sides of this thing. And no one needs/needed to get banned. And this would have all ended by now.

Guys, we got a Super Bowl tomorrow!  Just follow the rules and chill the F out.  Go yell at each other in RnR   Hopefully we'll be celebrating a win tomorrow night.  I will say as a new mod, there's stuff you don't see because the offending posts get hidden so maybe that's some of the confusion.  Don't @ me I'm logging off to start drinking!

Or you could deal with the real issue being this isn't clear cut. This isn't the old board where new members are funneled, so losing not just 4for4 but the others who are pissed isn't ideal. You aren't paid for this, you have better stuff to deal with, but the bottom line is there is more to this as Toronto mentioned. You all threw him off, so hopefully the other issues will now be addressed.

Yeah, and trolls who bait and hit the report button non stop are equally an issue. Yes, we can hold people accountable but it's not always clear cut. That doesn't mean 4for4 should get off and do whatever and it's not just about him. This safe space BS is something I have little sympathy for as grown men. Are they doxing someone? Making threats? Step in. Being mean? Tell the person to hit ignore and grow a pair unless it's so far over the line it can't be ignored.

He was thrown off. OK...now fix the other issue that others have been mentioning.

Or posters could simply stop being A holes, problem solved no?

So do you want to start the game on offense or defense?

Those were honest questions to your post. I’m not looking for any fight, you wrote a confusing post and I used the appropriate emoji
