Stop & Stop Now!!!

HappyGilmore · 01-29-2006, 06:06 AM

There are a bunch of useless threads on the basketball forum as of now, and quite frankly, I am sick of it.

Make a thread of interest that has some interesting insight or quit posting at all. The dirt you have to scroll through to find good reading in this forum is ridiculous. No more personal attacks, no more name-calling, and no more stupid hypothetical scenarios.

This is not a threat, it is a promise.

We love everyone being here and having fun, but it gets to a point when enough is enough :thumb: We don't want to have to suspend anyone for stupid things like this.

**BelfryJustice** · 01-29-2006, 03:27 PM

:no: We must maintain the focus! We want to be :#1: . It takes everyone doing their best to be that.

THUNDERCHILD · 01-29-2006, 08:13 PM

THANK YOU!!! I had gotten so sick of them I had stopped getting on here much because it felt like instead of enjoying some reading and conversation, I was watching a nursery school class after snack, bouncing off the walls! That's not realaxing I would'nt think.

**Playboy5** · 01-29-2006, 08:54 PM

So glad that this Thread was finally posted!

Exactly. BluegrassRivals is the number one source for high school sports and it has started become the number one place to read false posts, name calling, and arguements. The staff is here to help torQQue run the site in more ways than one. We shouldn't have to be on all hours of the night watching fools curse and slander on the boards at 4 am. Think about it, if we didn't have to watch your posts so much we could be working on things to make the site being, better, and a more enjoyable place to be. We try our hardest to make this a great place to discuss any sports and basically any topic. Express your opinion but do it maturely. Guys, just because you are behind a computer doesn't mean that we don't know and could not find out who is using a screen name. Things shouldn't be posted here that other members could raise legal issues with. We are grown ups here and should handle things in a responsible manner. By posting ludacris stuff you are not only making the site look better, but yourself look worse.

showstopper4 · 01-31-2006, 01:50 AM

true and could we also eliminate all those that single players out as a thread because it kills teams...i mean the stupid threads of individuals that is.

football_#1 · 01-31-2006, 03:51 AM

Some post are pretty rediculos i mean they are just there to start arguments.........

bballmama · 02-01-2006, 12:35 AM

the people who start those threads probably won't even read this:ChairHit:

**thetribe** · 02-01-2006, 12:49 PM

In that case bball, that is why we are here. The staff will take care of all reported problems AND problems we find instantly to try to make this a better place.

TheRevelation · 02-01-2006, 05:13 PM

Seems the mods are starting to have to get tougher on all the childish shenigans that go on here. Good job guys, keep up the hard work.:mad:

**BCF4L** · 02-01-2006, 05:21 PM

I love you Happy!! Hit the nail on the head.

BENGALFAN · 02-01-2006, 10:21 PM

I totally agree, this needs to be said on the football site also. I love to hear the good things about the teams and kids. To much negativity and false information. Keep up the good work.:High5:

**CatDawg** · 02-01-2006, 11:12 PM

Couldn't agree more with Happy. However the mods need the members help with this also. When you see a thread or post that is just way off PM us and give us the heads up. We try to catch them as fast as possible but sometimes they tend to sit there for a bit before one of us catch them do to the increased activity on the board. So please help us help you by giving us a shout when you see this happen.

Thanks

To piggyback on to CatDawg--

REMEMBER--everyone on this site gets to determine what type of site that this turns out to be. Do you want it to be a place where immaturity and anger reigns?

Or--do you want to create a place where solid conversations can take place about sports?

There is nothing wrong with being heated--but at least try to understand where everyone is coming from. If you don't agree--say so--you don't need to insult, and bring facts to your argument.

Remember--we need to keep building strong posters on this site. That starts with everyone thinking before they type!
