You are a bad fan

[Count 'Bility]

I think Polo loves Nebraska. I also dont think he's half as negative as he puts himself out to be. I really think he's just trolling everyone for the sake of personal humor. Seriously. it's at the point now that no one is stupid enough to really beleive in 75% of the sh#t he says. I've been ignoring him for quite some time now. No, not with the function. I just to buy into what he says. I dont wanna use the function, cuz every once in a blue moon, he lets his guard down, and I find myself having a halfway logical discussion with the guy. But the sh#t is gettin pretty old.

Perhaps, just perhaps, they should do all those things before I change my tune. I'm at the point of "show me" because they haven't earned anything otherwise (something our dearly departed mod has also said)

And why is everyone mad right now? Because i don't think there's as much sec bias as everyone else? Because I posted an article illustrating why the big ten is down? What so either of those have with Bo Pelini? I'll tell you, zero. Which is why I didn't bring him up. Knapplc, a mod, brought up my agenda in that thread and went off topic, so I made a Bo joke. Then HTO started in with whatever the blue hell he was talking about, also off topic and nitpicky as hell, as if a typo can dispute an entire article I didn't write.

And you know what I think gets old? The constant, unending personal attacks and swipes at my intelligence when I disagree. I've had my wife called into question, my attitude, what kind of person I am, basically anything's fair game. Hell, I saw sd'sker get called a jerk and seemingly nothing happened there either. Why? Because we don't have unending optimism about the team it's coach? Because we are dissenters? That's not healthy. At all.

I actually think it's pretty sad anyone puts anyone on ignore. But hey.......

But you aren't able to see what posters have you on ignore, are you?

That's actually not a bad idea, as a form of feedback. Maybe not disclosing what particular posters have a guy on ignore. But an indication of how many posters have a person on ignore. It could appear in each account profiles, for example: "7 posters have NUpolo8 on ignore"

Would you consider that to be useful information?

I think we all should have our bac's streaming and posted here while we are online.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I don't have anyone on ignore, if you see a personal attack you need to let us know. That goes for every single person here, we can't be everywhere all the time. Everyone has their opinion, but I think most folks can see most people's point of view, now whether they agree with it or not is up to them. There are a large number that can't agree with you maybe 99% of the time, obviously that's just a guess based on the complaints we get. I don't even think its people agreeing with you that's the problem, it's the negativity that's the problem. I don't expect sunshine and lollipops, but I also don't expect every thread you comment in to spiral into hell.

NUance- a steady .1

Teach- anywhere from a .08 at school to a .4 on gamedays

Minnesota_husker- white girl wasted at .02 on the weekends

That's just another statistic you could conveniently misrepresent.

i did report this:

I see individual numbers, where is his offense breaking team records for scoring, rushing, passing for a season.

Moving the goalposts. As per usual.

not even close. also, you included watson years in defense of beck...

2011 was Beck's first year. And I don't care enough about his bullsh#t to subtract a year from TMart's career numbers.

i see. just moving the goalposts.

Feel free to make the necessary changes instead of just being a jerk. But it doesn't change the fact that players working in Beck's offense are breaking records left and right. Sorry it doesn't fit into your worldview that Beck sucks.

i was told by a mod that he was "goaded" into calling me a jerk. so, basically, victim blaming.

i think you have become a boogeyman. whatever you post will be attacked, almost regardless of the merit or content. then it becomes a thing and you get blamed. because dissenting is trolling, i guess.

 

[knapplc]

No, that is only a portion of what you were told. You were told that whatever punishment you felt was appropriate for that person would be meted out to everyone in the thread who was responsible for that situation. Because one of those people was your ally, you declared No Joy and left the conversation.
I told you that we look at the entire situation, not just the single post, and you called it a joke and told me to forget the whole thing. I encouraged you to take up this piss-poor moderating decision with the Admins, who do not give us free rein to run as we see fit on this board and who will tell us to stop whatever tactic we're working as the situation merits, but as I never heard a word from any of the Admins I can only presume you either didn't report it or you did and, after looking at the situation, they determined the same thing I did - it was a bunch of bullsh#t from the beginning and either everyone gets gigged or nobody does.

what other rules were broken?

 

[knapplc]

#1 - No Flaming/Trolling/Defamatory posts

There is absolutely no reason to verbally attack another user (aka flaming), and/or posting a message for the express purpose of generating a negative response (trolling).

Also:

#11 - Moderators
Please respect the moderators. They offer their services free of charge, and work hard to keep the board clean and organized. The mods reserve the right to enforce the rules in any manner they see fit.

We discussed that report. The decision was made to approach you about the situation and gauge your actual intent. I did. I had to encourage you to respond - you initially ignored my request for clarification - and the conversation went as it did.

We're not stupid. Most of us have been moderating this board for going on five years. We know what we're doing.

And again - I strongly encourage you to take this up with an Admin rather than bicker about it on the forums.

my actual intent? a rule was broken. i was called a jerk. why should i have to determine the punishment? whatever is standard when someone calls someone else a jerk. my intent was to bring to your attention that someone called me a jerk. what other intent could there be?

oh, and we all already knew mods enforce the rules however they see fit.

 

[knapplc]

And we know that people - your buddy especially - like to use the report function as a way to get back at people they disagree with.

If your "actual intent" was to report trolling/flaming/personal attacks, that wouldn't have been the only post you reported. But it was.... and it was.

Like I said. We're not stupid.

Instead of bitching about it here go take it up with an Admin.

I somehow think I'm involved in this conversation.
