ricojes Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 To the OP, you can try the Ignore Preferences function if you recognize the same posters are annoying you over and over. Let me know if you need to know how/where to find it. It's a great way to customize the board. Of course, if you are already ignoring ME you won't see this I was just going to mention the ignore feature. I only have 2 on ignore at the moment, but what a huge difference it makes reading some of the threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if you are already ignoring ME you won't see this I think DC Tom's bot should be available for everyone to see in conjunction with the ignore. It erases someone's message in a reply and insults them. Its just perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 This is spot on, but admittedly it is difficult to keep focused on, SDS runs this site on his own dime, for the most part, the moderators do their best in whatever free time they are willing to devote to it. But we can lose site that in fact, this site is for trolling and throwing things against the wall to see if they gain traction. This is not a news site, nor is it a news aggregator, despite the efforts of some to provide timely updates. We all need to grow some thicker skin here and realize we are all in this for one reason, success by our favorite team(except for Chef who jumped ship to the Vegas Raiders). Great thread.....debating on how to debate the debaters vs the non debaters the info seekers vs the info commenters SDS and the mods should stay up 24-7 to insure it meets all the standards for billsgrp88 who is not a participator just a lurker. This is not a news site, it is a sharing and commentary site we all know you can get the best info from Jerry Sullivan column and ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Is this a safe space? Pretty pathetic that some people are hurt, upset or feel they are being attacked when someone questions their opinions or position on a given topic. Get over it. Have you ever had a boss call you a "dumb ass" or ask "what are you stupid?" Have you ever had a client scream at you or tell you to "!@#$ off"? This board is candyland compared to real life confrontation. In fact, it's !@#$ing entertainment. I'm not here to pet you and tell you everything will be fine. I'm not here to applaud every dumbass comment you make. If people would relax a little and have some fun (and not take every comment about them seriously) you might find the enjoyment many of us experienced before this place turned into a bubble wrapped garden of daisies. It's fun to bust each other's chops and I've even tried to do so with new members like Teef (who is a cool dude)...but alas, sensitivity is the new buzz word (right after "optics"). Geesh.

Fan in San Diego Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Your an Idiot! No I totally agree. It's why I rarely post here anymore. Too many idiots just want to get into flame wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 First I would like to express gratitude for the updates, insight, and engaging discussion that occurs on this TSW. I rely on this website as my primary source of all things bills, and have done so for years. I rarely post, but lurk on almost all threads concerning the latest with the team. That being said, I felt compelled to speak up specifically about the worst aspect of this message board, and most likely all message boards: derision and trolling. It seems that more than half of the posts on TSW are confronted with snide comments and cheap sarcasm, often devolving into a petty flame war. What those involved don't realize, or perhaps don't care to consider, is that it ruins the thread for everyone else. If you see a post that seems stupid or ill-advised, appeal to your better judgment and just ignore it; if it is so, it'll go away on its own. Some fans have radical views. Others are less informed than others. But I have to say that I sigh heavily every time I follow a thread and it stoops to mockery and derision. This is not an anti-bullying campaign or a big ego stroke on my part. I am posting this for selfish reasons, because I don't want to waste my time reading petty arguments, and I am convinced that many feel the same. Not to mention that it discourages discussion, which is why this board exists. How about we all agree we love our woeful Bills and want to see them win. Post stuff that other people would like to read even if they don't agree with it, this message board would be far more pleasant for it. Go BILLS! It is one thing to be face to face, having a good time, busting chops, etc. You can read body language, hear sarcasm, say something ridiculous or outrageous, and wink. I also rarely post (except for my annual fundraiser) and I enjoy some of the playful comments, but when the thread "stoops to mockery and derision", I go to another thread or site. YES, I come here for entertainment and have a very thick skin. My chops have been busted to the breaking point - in good humor! To my point of view, bad behavior is NOT entertainment. To SDS and the Moderators, and many who contribute to the Wall, thank you for making this STILL my #1 Bills site. I have been here since day one and do not plan to change.

I have been here since day one and do not plan to change. Alright, guys. Another failed attempt to get rid of rockpile. It was a nice effort. Shutting down BBMB, bringing in new guys. Looks like the old man isn't budging. Back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
