ROTFL I don't think we have any chest-pumping mods handing out infractions for minutiae.  I'm trying to picture CBF or Nervous Guy in that role......naaaaah.

 

 

As we know. It wasn't always as described above. At least one poster quit because of some of us being handed out infranctions

for minutiae.

I believe BILLIEVERS is "invitation only", is it not? 

TBD these days is create an account, have it auto-checked as not spam, you're in.  So we need to do a certain amount of "after the fact" weeding.

It's all about trying to maintain civil discourse and in TSW, "more or less" focused on football or football-related topics.  There are literally tens of thousands of places to discuss Poly Ticks in general.

 

 

The site owner SDS asks you, and you agree. 

 

...not that I'm aware of.....I'd never be there if it was INVITE ONLY.....I'm told I won't even get invited to my own damn funeral....been there since 2009.......first one year poster ban was handed out in the history of the MB....

Eh, I joined this spring and that's what I was told.  Maybe it changed or maybe someone was trying to create an "aura of mystery"

 

Part of the thing is prevailing atmosphere... for a while this board was getting a bit un-civil, people are on the receiving end and dish it back, or people just see it so they figure it's OK and do likewise

It doesn't work. I tell my gf don't be high maintenance and and it makes things worse

 

You have to rehearse your argument for 10 hours to make sure it is logically flawless, then you can tell her and it will work out just as you planned

Have you tried telling her she's being irrational, and if she would just settle her cute little girl brain down and listen to you, it'll all make sense?

I will certainly invite/recommend you if you're interested. Every MB has its issues. I can remember when there was a stretch on BBMB with some of the PG-13 gang just posting emoticons in a race to increase post count. EVERY thread was littered with pages and pages.

Good advice here. I would also add, if she gets upset, simply remind her to "Calm down". She probably just forgot she should.

Yes. Also, ask her if it's "that time of the month again." She may realize that she's just being hormonal.

Hey guys and gals... I just wanted  to point out something obvious, but needs to be said anyway.

 

 This is a Buffalo Bills message board and though occasionally conversations get heated, for the most part, most everyone should be transparent to the moderators in day-to-day conversations.

 

However, if you find yourself reporting posts every single day or if you have your posts reported every single day then that means you are inserting yourself into the life of the moderators on a daily basis. There is absolutely no reason in the world why this should ever happen. 

 

 Interacting conflict free on a message board is a very low bar of social interaction to clear. We have had thousands of people come through here and able to navigate that successfully.

 

Please do not be a high maintenance poster. Thanks. 

Bravo!!!

Just report me so I can take my warning point and move on with my life.

Be a badass and report yourself.

Maybe these high-maintenance poster need to discover the word:

 

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

 

sonder

 

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

No way. being right backed up with being logically flawless is going to p*** her off

Don't ever tell me what to do.

I'm not going to call out by name because I could be wrong, but he has yet to post in this thread.

 

Ha!

 

Maybe thinking the same here. If complaints to mods count as posts then I KNOW who it is.

Can you re-post this as a Twitter paste?
