Dear Mods...a humble plea to make me one of you

[cgvr]

The whole nation is going to have to wait because there is nothing else to say. The nation will survive. You....probably not.

The whole nation is disappointed in your response.

Hopefully, they will wait patiently for you to construct a cogent/cohesive reply.

If not, we may be looking at anarchy.

PS I'm hearing rumblings that this thread is starting to go global and has penetrated China's firewalls.

Yeah, this site would improve immeasurably if argus man, under all of his screen names, and nole, were both banned. They are incapable of civilized dialog and hijack thread after tread after thread. I know of no other board which would tolerate conduct such as those two posters engage in. Until that occurs, this board is going to suffer as a result of their inane posting.

Bingo.

He's a living breathing ND virus.

no1e is like ahab chasing him....

You have no idea what you are talking about. I have never hijacked a thread here. I have responded to hijacked attempts on numerus occasions. Especially dishonest ones. The practice of hijacking is a #1 turnoff second only to lying. When you are a hijacking liar you have reached rock bottom IMHO.

I know exactly what I am talking about. You and the other dolt have this little campaign of cat and mouse going on. The two of you are responsible for thread after thread being hijacked here. You come over here under the guise of "defending" FSU and your program. That's BS. Why do you care what is said here about FSU? I don't go over to other boards checking on what people are saying about ND. The idea that you need to patrol this board to point out the lies of an absolute blithering idiot is nonsense. You are just as bad as argus man. The two of you are like peanut butter and jelly. One of you cannot live without the other. As far as I am concerned, you should both get tossed.

 

[no1e]

If you ever read a thread where I initiated a hijack it will be a first. I have never brought FSU up at this site one time in 7-8 years. Not once. I don't come to this site to discuss FSU football unless one of your fans ask an FSU question or makes a remark calling for clarification. I come here to talk ND football and college FB in general. And I do when your blithering board idiot doesn't hijack the thread feeding his FSU obsession.

Of course Argus is a different animal bordering on severe mental illness and devoid of all integrity. When he attacks my school, it's coaches, players and fans he's going to get a rebuttle. The truth.

I have never flamed ND or said anything that could be construed as dishonest or flame against ND players, coaches or fans unless attacked first. Probably why I have never been banned at Warchant, Soundoff or here.

You do bait Argus at times and continue to engage him even though you know he is mentally ill and that you engaging him is all he wants.

spelling is not a high priority; and like ND35 I find it harder and harder to see the print.
They used to have a thing call ispell, that was good; but auto correct often substitutes words that totally alter a meaning.

There are several unbiased posters like KIB, Ara, Boston, or even DIP (would be an adventure).
But being a Mod is very different than being a 'censure' who would allow only a single side to any debate.

So far an efficient Mod has been the ignore tool.

The season is 2 wks on the horizon, and this pkace is going to be anything but boring.

I think the offense will provide the fireworks this year instead of the posters!

ND35 found it hard to see the print because of old age hurting his eyesight. PERSE finds it hard to read the print because of the stronger medication the head nurse at the insane asylum gives him.

Just FYI. You will never see a IP based ban on this board.

To many instances that banning an IP would result in banning people that have done nothing wrong. For instance on one of the boards there is a user that posts from the same hotel that I do, when I travel to Canada. He has no idea of who I am, and I couldn't tell you his real identity. But if he did something that caused a ban, it would get me also, under that system.

Now imagine that issue with college campuses and public link ups.

Nope. This one is in Windsor, and IIO tries to stay away from the delinquents there

Honest question... Why would whoever is in charge of this site want it moderated? I honestly don't have much familiarity on how Internet advertising works beyond a simple understanding that clicks equal money on free sites. If that's the way it works, doesn't that mean that the ridiculous banter that is generated by the people that flame on this site creates clicks and in turn creates revenue? Why would any business moderate that which generates revenue? I would love to see this and several other sites cleaned up, (because I love to read about ND football) but from my rather limited understanding, it makes no sense. This is our forum, they gave us an ignore feature for a reason.

Just the two cents from a avid reader, limited poster, and someone that probably shouldn't have had that last beer...

 

[IrishBlooded]

Well two reasons.

1. On the old boards, when you would post a new topic, it would index on the internet as a series of ID numbers linked to rivals / yahoo and a web address. Which to your average Google, or Yahoo, Bing search meant nothing. Under these new boards you will notice there is still an ID correlation for every thread. However the title of the thread is now part of that. Meaning that it is now a searchable and indexible listing in a Google, Bing, Yahoo search. And of course it is in Yahoo's best interest to list the Rivals links before links to other sites. Because that drives ad revenue by the posters coming to the sites.

2. Subscriptions even though the 'gold members' would love to tell you mean much here. They really don't in the big scheme of things. They are a tax write off to Yahoo / Rivals. Yes they are income and yes it is a measurable amount. But no one is closing the office because a pack of guys chose not to pay $10 / month to read about a team. However if they come to these boards and all they see is negative posting or trolling / flaming practices they are less likely to stay, even less likely to make a handle. And almost impossible to one day lure them into a membership. They will end up in places like Irish Envy, or One Foot Down, etc. That you can also get for free.

So moderating the boards serves a couple of purposes beyond just the professionalism of not having boards infested with the latest version of 'Ha ha ND sucks' type threads.

And the ignore function to me is a crutch. If you are having to ignore a gambit of posters just to find or enjoy content here. Then there is a situation that should be addressed. Either you are too picky of a poster, or there is to many posters getting more string than they should

Hope that helps.
