HuskerBoard vs. Captain Derp and the Derptastics

Have you thought about pinning a Fire Bo thread?

That way MODS can throw the endless derp into 1 place and the people that need to be a part of it can go there, the rest of us can avoid it, and the n00bs starting redundant threads will get confused, wonder where their 2 sentences of genius went and then hopefully go way.

OK folks, here's the deal. We all know we're being flooded with derp these last few weeks. The season doesn't go as planned and suddenly these guys come out of the woodwork. We're going to fix this, but we're going to be smart about it.

First, everyone likes baiting Captain Derp. We have to stop this. When someone posts utter nonsense, we've got to stop calling them out in the thread. Try to discuss with them, but if it becomes clear that they're only here to cause trouble, report the post and the Mods will look into it. Super craptastic threads will go bye-bye. Some may just get locked. If we have repeat offenders over the course of a few weeks they'll earn their way out the door.

Second, do not take matters into your own hands. We've had some regular members, the backbone of HuskerBoard, take things too far recently and earn themselves some time off from the board. Nothing frustrates us more than having to impose discipline on the guys who make HuskerBoard great. Report, report, report. It'll suck for the Mods, but that's what we're here for. Trying to moderate the threads yourselves just gets you into trouble.

Finally, don't go out on a witch hunt. Not all new members are derps, and not all new members need watching. Be cool to the n00bs - we were all n00bs once. I guess the best advice is be wary but be friendly. They'll prove it to you/us if they're just here to spew derp. That's when you report the post/thread, and that's when we'll take action.

Remember - this is your board, our board, and it's the best Husker sports forum out there because of us. Let's do some maintenance and keep HuskerBoard clean, together.

I'll start a topic with the Mods. I think it should be in Rumorville, as a matter of fact. There's no substantive reason to be talking about firing Bo yet. We may have gripes about his teams, but firing him would be Rumorville material.

You know they will just start their own threads anyway.

But they can get removed and all posts moved to said thread. D U N.

 
To me, the danger is it looks like HB is condoning that kind of silliness so I don't really know what the answer is but it would clean up the board......a lot.......like a ton.

We aren't and we are locking threads up or deleting them all together along with posts to try and take care of the problem. We can't see every post in every thread and that's why the report function is so important to us.

Everyone, there's a thread in Rumorville now. All derp about firing Bo will go there. Other derp, depending on the derpiness, will either be locked or removed.

+1 now I can actually post my opinions without getting a personal attack... See Officalbruinfanpage.

 
Oi with the ponies. Don't derp up this thread, too. You buncha potzers. This is why I love coming here, though - despite the ponies. You guys are the best.

OK, I've read through walks' purge thread and the most recent of the "Douschebag HOF" thread posts, and you guys all have a point. I understand how you guys think that it looks like "regulars" have been targeted while n00bs have been allowed to run amok, but that's not what we (the Mods/Admins) are trying to do here. We're trying to strike a balance between good conversation and censorship. We've had plenty of accusations of the latter leveled at us over the past couple of years, and we're sensitive to that. We want you guys to feel like you can talk about what you want to talk about without having Big Brother looking over your shoulder all the time.

Having said that, we have a plan of attack to go after the people who are making the board difficult to read. Again, we must have your help with this, so please use the Report function on any thread or post that is a problem. We'll get this place back to the way it once was. Never fear.
