All it took was one clap of the hands and..................POOF!!! That stinkin’ McClappy! I don’t think the HC cared one iota about BBMB, or even knew it existed. He has important things to concern himself with. If I’m the team it’s just too messy and difficult to moderate/control to be worth the bother. It’s a bad idea to have the team oversee it. Let the fans own it, avoid the unnecessary hassle. . Edited March 7, 2020 by Augie 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 This place is much better than BBMB ever was. More free flowing conversation and a place for religious and political discussion. The only thing the BBMB had over this board was a structured point system which explained things.....when I asked about the point system here, I got something along the lines of "Dont be an asshat", which is pretty subjective. 1

On the surface level I agree but it just doesn’t make sense as to why Gregggg would just suddenly shut it down without giving any warning to Zman or anyone else. I guess on day he just woke up as said “I need to shut it down.” I think either McDermott and/or Boyko didn’t like what they saw - just like Tom Donahoe. just stop it 1 1

Just curious, but do you mean the penalty point system? I never went to BBMB, but that seems to be one of the most disliked aspects. Maybe I’m wrong? People complain about getting what sounds like weak and arbitrary points. Again, I don’t pretend to know, just curious for some odd reason. I think this board is great. Nothing is perfect, but this is a good outlet and source of info. Lots of good posters added when BBMB went down the drain. Some other stuff too, but that worked itself out. Thanks to all our Mods! 2

Yeah....there was a Code of conduct which explained which infractions resulted in points and displayed how many points resulted in warnings, bans, etc. I'm not sure on this but it may have also showed your tally and how close you were to the next level of punishment. It's been a while so all the details might not be right. @T&C was a mod there and put me in detention quite a few times, so hes probably more familiar with how it worked.....I've received a few there and I received a few here, but at least there I knew the guidelines......also I think the mods here do a fine job. Most my points I agreed with except for ☝️. Edited March 7, 2020 by RaoulDuke79 1

If there’s something borderline, be sure you understand the context and intent before doling out punishment. I think I was reported not long ago over a misunderstanding. Easily cleared up, and I respect how it was handled. I’ve gotten one warning point in all of my WAY too many posts. I think it was bogus as it was about celebrities and I said they should just keep their politics to themselves. Because you are on TV or in movies means nothing to me. I got a warning for talking politics. My point was to NOT talk politics, which was lost on a former mod. Oh, well.... I think the bottom line is basically simple: don’t be a jerk. You’ll usually be fine here if you follow that simple rule, from my experience. 1

I'll refer back to my original statement that overall this is better than BBMB. 1
stuvian Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Coaches don't get involved with IT or social media decisions. Some corporate suit decided that the Bills wouldn't spend money on a communications organ they didn't control the content of. In doing so they ruined a very good thing in the BBMB. Without us, there is no Buffalo Bills. 2BD is a very close second

Of course one member was going through stage 4 cancer treatment with daily updates, getting encouragement from us and the Bills without warning said “***** all this noise” and deleted everything in a jiffy

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 jm2006 thought that he owned the place. His attitude got him banned here in 3 months or less. Transplant was his good buddy IIRC

davefan66 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted there, same name. BBMB had its moments. Problem was you had to sift through a lot of crud to get to the good stuff. This site is better in many ways - no 16 different threads for the same topic, more insightful discussion, a lot less hot garbage. 1 1 1

Steptide Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Saviouredwards was the best at bbmb. I swear it was trent Edwards himself, or a very close relative/friend

It's been so lo g some of the names are lost on me. I remember someone by the name of ItsKindofLikeThat, Sabinus, Byrdman (mainly because he claimed to have went to jail for assaulting hi ex's boyfriend for putting him in a Pats jersey) and Steven White who was a trip......WYO was cool and a good mod. I think she eventually gave up mod status though. Edited March 7, 2020 by RaoulDuke79
