I'm a horrible fan, because I miss this team beating the a$$ off of everyone, running for 300+ yards every game, and not having to hate the OC because he's a dumb a$$...
And if you don't like that, f*ck you all in your f*cking stupid c0ck holsters...

There seems to be some general confusion over the use of the report feature as well as what we do with them.
The moderators don't have eyes on everything, so it's a greatly appreciate when members alert us to things that need addressing. All reports are reviewed, but understand that we don't always have the same opinion of what needs addressing and what doesn't.
In particular, oftentimes members seem to desire mainly for the moderators to mete out punishment to users who have offended them. That's not what we do.
We do use everything at our disposal - whether it's warnings, suspensions, post approval, verbal notices - to let people know when they're doing something that's not OK. Repeat and egregious offenders eventually run into enough trouble to merit a permanent ban, but we go to great lengths to avoid this. Perhaps too great, at times, but really I'd like to see everyone stay a part of this community.
Everyone can do their part first and foremost by being civil to one another, by helping us flag down offending posts if they see them, and finally, by understanding moderators are here to make sure members understand conduct policy, not to serve as an internet justice system.

community-minded membership that self-moderates and treats our site as a shared resource, not a recess playground.

Roxy is probably just a sock puppet for Polo when he wants a change of pace, actually. If Polo posted recipes under his own name, some dumbass would turn it into a 2 page argument over teaspoon to tablespoon conversions or some such nonsense.

It wouldn't be really hard to guess when you post. Just follow the conversation and when multiple posters start arguing with what seems like the same guy, you would have your answer on who it probably is.
I don't mind your "trolling" as it makes for good entertainment and liveliness but does get irritating that you do it in EVERY thread.

but the ones you do post in are generally the most popular, which i do not see as a bad thing.

Polo's posts are broken records, but maybe it's important to understand why they are broken records. What has Nebraska done to change the perception? What has the Big Ten done to reverse the SEC dominance?
Nothing. Year in, year out, it's the same.
Now, we're 8-1, but some believe that our 8 wins are a product of our weak schedule and the one team in the loss column just happens to be the only ranked team we've faced. That team owned us in every aspect of the game for 3 quarters; it wasn't as close as the score indicated, despite the gutsy, near miraculous comeback Nebraska is so prone to having. We have a chance to make a few statements in the next few weeks. Wisconsin will be ranked, and they have been playing really well lately (but perhaps that's a product of their even weaker schedule). Minnesota is just annihilating Iowa, and they may be ranked when they come to Lincoln. Iowa...well...they've looked good, and they've looked bad. Kind of a Northwestern type of game. Win all three of those games, and there should be no reason for anyone to hate on this team (after all, we will have reversed the trend of 4 losses a year, which by the way, one more win and we can't do any worse than 4 losses
)
Until then, all the criticism is warranted, whether you want to believe it or not. Although some perspective is needed. As much as I want Nebraska to be located in the hotbed of recruits and in the SEC, we aren't. So recruiting is just naturally more difficult for us. There's no getting around that. As much as I want Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin, and Iowa to all be good, like the teams in the Big XII or the SEC, they aren't. Not yet. But college football is cyclical, it won't be long before the Big Ten is good again.
All Nebraska can control, is whether they beat the team placed in front of them. So far, we've done a solid job in doing that. And I'm sure we all hope that that continues well into the next few months.
