I understand what You're saying Mooney44, especially in the college forum. When you see someone shit on the first page, so many can't resist the temptation to fire back, pretty soon the ball gets rolling and well, forget it. I have been guilty of it myself, but it was in response to a thread/threads meant to flame anyway, which is a whole other story.
I'm just not sure if I agree with it though. I am able to sift through the garbage using quotes of other posters who actually have something to say of signifcance and speak what I want to say to them directly. It sucks but it works.

Well, it's a good thing Notre Dame isn't an important college football program anymore LOL.
Na, I'm j/k.
I get both sides of the arguments. There are definitely plenty of posters (especially on the College Football Forum) who make their living off getting underneath people's skin and trying to bring everyone down to their level (a.k.a. Trolling). I wish there was a good way to easily define this behavior and discourage it to make it a enforceable rule. Well no I really don't wish that. I just wish it would go away on it's own and people would stop paying attention to the people who do this.

Because there IS smart discussion going here. I just don't feel that that smart discussion needs to be ruined by people who are just trying to piss people off. Are you saying you'd rather continue to have that sort of thing go on here? Or are you a fan of total freedom? Post away at your leisure! Anything that comes to mind!

All those bullshit posts do have value. If someone continues to post crap,you know where they are coming from, you know not to waste your time discussing anything relevant with them. Let 'em shine for all to see. It's a damn litmus test for current and future posters. Don't judge them by their screen name. Judge them by what they post.

Holy hell. Hatred like that coming from peake is usually reserved for the Hotre Dame discussions on the college football forum. Now I am glad I just read through all 11 pages; that was worth it!

ND fans just need to take their lumps and admit their team is terrible. That would solve a lot of the "trolling" problems, at least it'd be less fun to bash them if they were agreeing with everything I say.

threadshitting = the college football forum either on the old site or this one. There is no better example.
why make a valid point when one can just engage in diarrhea of the mouth?

Plenty have said ND was good. It's the ones saying ND is good that are hard to find.

It's OK. Mooney recruits anyway.Mooney44Cards wrote:I get it man. You're so laid back. I wish I could be you.
YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT. I come here to bullshit, to discuss stupid stuff, post funny things. But I also come here to discuss sports. When there is good discussion going on I enjoy having a place to come and partake in it. When there is NOT good discussion going on, I get annoyed that I cannot partake in good discussion.
I don't see how preventing people from gumming up conversations with "lol private schools recuit" would make this place awful. What is subjective about that? If you want to intelligently discuss why Notre Dame is no longer relevant, I'd love to hear your opinion. If you'd like to intelligently discuss what you deem is an advantage for private schools over public schools, more power to ya. If you think Tressel should no longer be the coach at OSU because he doesn't coach to win, I will join in the discussion. BUT, if you are saying this site is better off with low-brow, no-content, pot-shot posts in the middle of perfectly legitimate conversation, I dunno what you even come here for? To laugh at us peons that take it more seriously than you?
I'm not asking that we censor anything, just make an example out of those who post stupid shit, and motivate them to bring more content to the table if they'd like to partake in sports discussion.
CURBSTOMP!

Mooney, I see what you are saying but most people on this site already know that sleeper, dikoter and NCF are some of the worst posters on this site and most people ignore them, they add nothing to this site, that is why I hope NikkiSantoro never comes over here because he did the same thing over there.
At least someone like S&L who may not be the most intelligent poster on here adds something funny or cool every now and then. The biggest thing is that if you are looking for intelligent post all the time, that just isnt going to happen on any message board unless you go on a banning spree like the old site has done and even then you still have horrible posters like AAF.
