Will make training camp more fun and maybe sell some more jerseys at SJF and promote the Bills. Maybe put a little spring in the step of AJM. Right now dude seems pretty desperate. Use him for the marketing, sell some more pre-season tickets, and dump him. The 1st thing that comes to mind is that past regimes have failed bc they may have tried a stunt like that. Maybe its selling them short but the point is I'd guess these guys realize the flip side to your points is it would be a distraction and isnt in the same vein as the other moves they have made to try and mold and build a culture around here. Just my 7 cents. 1

Question.. do sad and confused 'actions' cause negative rep points? Not that it means anything but it seems odd that if someone says something REALLY dumb and it gets 5 confused actions it looks like a positive in the end. 1

No “neg repping” options at this time I believe. 1 1

Good to know though- I'd always wondered. Appreciate it! On my college hoops board, you get a line of green dots (good), or red dots (bad). The few clowns who rack up enough red dots get put in time out, or shut down. They will also check IP addresses when new accounts are set up, further challenging the trolls. While that’s nice, this is a much better platform to work with since the change over. That would be a lot of work for something of this size. Thanks to all those who chip in to make this happen. 1

I agree, it would be a lot of work to do manually. however, there are all kinds of mods out and about that might make IP scanning a function of the software. I have a duplicitious IP checker on a board i have, it is vB though. 1

For sure!!! Just to be clear, I wasn't asking in disgust or out of necessity- I was just curious. It goes both ways though and you are 100% right. Duval Pride and Gang Green for example has negative hits and jerks just hit the neg solely bc it's not a jags fan. I guess it doesnt matter - i just couldn't tell if it worked that way here or not. 1

I guess it doesnt matter - i just couldn't tell if it worked that way here or not. Sure, just a matter of curiousity sometimes. It’s not like it really matters. On the hoops board you need enough goodwill to have the right to rep anyone, good or bad, so newbies can’t come in and be jerks. I don’t even know how to check where I stand, but I’m all green dots and life is good (especially after winning the Big East regular season and picking up a few nice recruits!). I have no idea how many different options are out there, but I do like the way this board works. My wife teases me about my “imaginary internet friends”, but it’s cool in a lot of ways. 2

Use him for the marketing, sell some more pre-season tickets, and dump him. You're getting a lot of flack for this, but you had to expect that when you posted the thread. And its not unwarranted, I mean there is a lot to hate about Manziel, he makes it very easy. I thought he was going to be a bust coming out of college, so none of this was a surprise to me. That all being said, there is literally no risk to bringing him in. It cost nothing, and if something is there you just hit the lotto. If not, you cut him. At this point, we have nothing on this roster who can say they are legit QB in the NFL. I like AJ's potential, but he hasn't proven much either. Peterman has a long way to go to prove he can even be a backup in this league...just like Johnny. So I would be fine if they brought him in, I mean its not like they are doing so as a serious solution to our QB opening right now. He has apparently looked good throwing at pro days and stuff, so not really much to lose here as we still need more bodies. Odds are, he wont make the team anyway like any other camp body because we are probably drafting a rookie and then AJ will be the other QB. But, who knows, AJ hasn't proven anything either, Manziel could surprise and push him for the 2nd QB spot along side the rookie. To be clear: I do NOT think we will ever bring him in. I am NOT advocating to do so. And I do not think he will ever be a good NFL QB. But the reality is we are gonna bring other QB's to camp, so if they want to see what he can do, then fine, maybe he will surprise and challenge for a roster spot. Not a big deal IMO.
