Some of the rules for the forum seems to be not followed very well and some not enforced very well. I know Justin wants to make the forum more enjoyable or readable for new members, but to do that the rules needs enforced a little more imo. I still see the personal attacks and people derailing threads. Yet I really dont see to much enforcing of the rules. I know its rough for some mods cause you get to be friends with people on here. It needs to be done if you want people to contribute and not be scared off. I know some of the bantering in threads are good for threads.

I usually keep my rants and thread crapping to the basement. I follow the rules pretty well only having one warning. I do see people complaining about warnings and basement bans. From what I have read on here IMO more people should have been banned to the basement. I put this here instead of the basement hoping to get something other then the usual GFY and op is an idiot. I am curious what people think the site could do to get posters to quit the thread derailing and personal attacks to the basement.

Exactly. It seems that he is auditioning for a mod position. Kind of pathetic.

I do bitch about the rules not being followed and give the mods hell for not doing their jobs. My understanding is justin wants to be able to attract more posters to his site. To do so imo it needs pointed out that people are not following the rules and personal attacks are still occurring.

Not related to etb and he didnt pay me. People like you is the reason I posted this. Why do you feel it necessary to comment on this and to put your worthless comment on a thread that really dont need comments like yours? Im curious what drives you to do it. I dont agree with everything people posts. If I have nothing to add to the conversation I will just avoid commenting. Unlike you who didnt add a thing but felt it your duty to comment. Before the rules were being "enforced more" I would do the same thing you done in this thread.

As much as you bitch and whine, do you think anyone is really paying attention to what you have to say about the rules enforcement anymore?

I agree but feel I had a pretty legit question and this just proves what I was talking about. People here would rather make fun of or derail a thread before actually adding something to it. I dont care if I posted about cars the same thing will happen with every thread. If a person starts a thread people will come in just to pick on the poster or the thread itself. Guys here would rather attack the poster then add to the thread even if its the most intelligent thread ever posted. I guess my question was answered with the guys that commented on this thread.

I truly dont care if people pay attention to it. You commenting like this just makes me agree with a few other posters about you. A few of the mods including you really need to just quit being a mod. This place would be better without you. If you all did the job you were here to do I wouldnt have a reason to bitch would I.

a legit question? as i posted above, it's the same damn bitching you've been doing all year. as go chiefs said, noone cares about what you think because you post a new thread every day.
fact of the matter is, the site is better. is it perfect? but it's the god damn internet, not suppose to be perfect.

I suggest you go check out the Football forum and try to tell me I don't do my "job" before you try to single me out. There are a couple posters that complain about the "job" I do, and that's because they can't follow the rules and were infracted/warned in the past so they are now so butthurt about it that all they do is complain.

You'd think as much as you complain, you'd know which mods were in charge of which forum by now. Yes, the high school football forum.

Why would I know which mod does what? I dont care which mod is in what area. Im guessing you see what 15 posts a day to monitor? In my best sleeper voice you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

WTF does my race have to do with this thread? You are insinuating that people of color are the problem on here, rmolin and myself do not appreciate your racist comments and would hope that you can refrain from anymore comments about our skin color.

And I'm guessing you've obviously never been in that forum during football season? Way to bitch about something you know nothing about. "You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work."
