Instead of constantly crying and bitching about everything take a step back and examine yourself. There are plenty of posters who manage to post here fine without causing problems. There are posters who used to cause problems but have for the most part changed their behavior to be more acceptable and are no longer at odds with moderators all the time. You are one of the few individuals who refuses to accept the fact that the problem isn't all the moderators but the way you interact with others.

Your idea that you think laley is the new "me" highlights this perfectly. It's always the mod's fault that and never your own. Grow up.

With the warning you all could have moved it to the basement and explained to him not to start threads like this in other forums. You leave the door wide open for sleeper and others that like to start crap. All they have to do is say they are a fan of said team and if you infract them then they have all rights to raise hell about it.

Now excuse me while I go to the Pittsburgh Pirates thread that I started and repeatedly infract myself for saying less-than-charitable things about the team I'm a fan of because of how they've choked down the stretch this year. Lol.

sleeper;1275589 wrote:No it isn't. Do you just make rules up as you go along? Please have the rules updated to include "No trolling if the principle of the thread implies trolling based on a similar thread". Then apply this rule to all members regardless of what school they root for.

By the time we are done, all we will be able to post is "What did you have for lunch today?" which could be what Justin wants all along. :thumbdown:

And I didnt move the thread. I have probably only given out about 10 infractions and warnings since becoming a Mod.

Even though they'll represent the ACC in bowl games. So I guess we would be talking about Notre Dame, but we wouldn't since they aren't in the ACC. But wait, they play bowl games as an ACC rep. So...

See how dumb that is?

At this point, I can't tell if I derailed the thread or not.

WebFire;1275984 wrote:No. I just think it's dumb. My opinion that I'm allowed to have.

sleeper;1275921 wrote:Yeah or we can just be adults here and handle some criticism regarding a team that someone may not like. If Notre Dame is terrible, posting that they are terrible is not trolling because its true.

killer_ewok;1276006 wrote:Be honest....Notre Dame go 12-0 and you would discredit it and say they are terrible. When ND is having a bad season, most of the ND fans on here have no problem admitting it. So, it's just unnecessary to continue to drive home a point that most don't disagree with. Jury is still out on them this season but regardless of their record you will continue to say over and over again that they are terrible, awful, etc.

Stating your honest opinion is one thing and being an overly obnoxious ass is a whole 'nother.

DeyDurkie5;1275212 wrote:well, when you have been to 3 national championships(winning 1), countless other BCS bowls, and multiple big ten championships, you are going to expect greatness. All Notre Dame has to go by is their BCS beatdown at the hands of....the BUCKS and the fact that every year is a win if a student doesn't die during practices. So yeah, we do expect wins and it's warranted. Whereas you should be expecting mediocrity.
