I think maybe the combination of it being August and not much happening in the world of hoops, and the constant creation of threads and posts that are a complete waste of time by a certain poster have made me consider taking some time off from here. Most of you could probably care less, but the constant bullshit on here is getting old!

Ever been to O-Live?

Consider the alternatives, mon frère. ;)
 
Agree.

Discussion & disagreement is one thing. Even OT. But the constant rumor mongering over and over 20 new threads a day has, as you say HPC, gotten real old and really dull.

I have tried, but I don't understand the layout. It's not the same as this one.

You mean, you weren't even interested in the sex:bj ratio thread?

Sorry, couldn't resist. :cheers:

Hey, how come we haven't heard from Spud ever since the crandc m&g?????

I call it the 7-11 of Blazer forums. In and out quickly, shady characters, open all night........
 
Will this help?

Police this thing yourselves.
Make an effort to put up more basketball stuff.
Harder to do when its the off season. Not impossible.
There are a lot of people here who know how to do this. Yet they don't....at least not very often.

This is your house. Piss on those who crap on the carpet. Fix things up the way you want them to be.
You can do anything you want, or nothing at all.

Have a good idea? Need some help? Management here is second to none.

I know these are the dog days of August, but a little creativity here could make things more interesting. There is no shortage of opinions here. Make use of that. :)
 
People have been complaining about the "recent" trolling and "recent" bad attitudes in this community for over a decade.

There's nothing happening right now. I know that's why I, at least, am not posting.

I agree. It's a shame the mods have to act based on rules and they're not allowed to use common sense judgment. I love that this site allows more freedom than some of the other boards, but it's become real annoying to sift through repeated threads with many posts I'm ignoring.

It isn't my fault that you are providing me with no material for new avatars, that is all on you!
 
There's nothing to talk about.:dunno:

You can only abuse trollers and talk about rumors for so long.

I can't speak for other mods, but I think that the rules here are great. I think that we do a pretty good job of merging threads and in cleaning up personal attacks and while there is a lot of noise, and that noise tends to come from a relatively small number of posters, I think it's just the price of expanding our user base and I don't think that erring on the side of shutting people up is a wise way to grow.

I only drop by here to be a smart ass until the season comes! Well never mind that I am a smart ass all the time, and don't really stop when the season comes. Oh you know what I mean!:tsktsk:

:devilwink:

Indeed you do, Ed, Indeed you do. The crack S3 force is johnny-on-the-spot!

I am also on board with the site's rules. I prefer laxer standards than stricter ones, philosophically. I think conversation flows fine, here. There have been posters banned when they were hateful, attacked posters directly or were disruptive. So it's not anarchy. But people are allowed to be unpopular...they have that "right" (per the rules) up to the point that they're disrupting the forum (making it difficult or impossible to talk civilly, in the judgment of the moderators). Saying non-personally-directed things that annoy people from time to time is within the rules, as it is in real life.
 
A couple of people have posted recently a firefox plugin that allow you to truly ignore a poster - you don't see their threads, you don't see when people quote them, etc. For those who are bothered by one or more posters here, I strongly recommend trying that out.

The rules here allow people to say whatever they like, as long as it isn't disruptive, a personal attack, or racist/sexist/etc.

I think there are plenty of discussions on here, considering it is the dog days of August. We might have to discuss Von Wafer going to Greece, but at least it is something about basketball. And of course the OT topics are available 365 days a year.

No....not Von Wafer!!!!! Damn grecians......
 
I'm not the kind of person to bitch! As you all know I am the first person on here to crack jokes and have fun, BUT, there's a point where some stuff on here just kills the momentum! Every now and then someone shows up and starts this shit then disappears. I love this site, I just don't like seeing it like this!

I agree. The mods do an excellent job of enforcing the rules and merging threads as quickly as possible.

However, when someone is constantly creating thread after thread about the same topics, fully knowing there is another thread out there, that's disrupting the flow of the board. Doing something that requires mods to make an action on a semi-daily basis should result in some action being taken against the poster.
 
It fuckin baffles me that the mods won't make one "exception" to normally lenient rules and ban a certain poster who everyone hates.
 
This site ain't done. It's going to explode once the season rolls around. Can't wait.
