I'm blaming that for my low post count. It's the only explanation. Not that we don't have our share, but I thumbed your post just for this. Beating the pats twice is maybe the most satisfying thing that happened last year (to be clear, by far the most important thing from last year is that we found out we have a franchise QB). I'm an excellent poster and contribute much to this board yet I have incurred many a wrath...💩 1
Long Suffering Fan Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Yeah, I was only kidding. That was an animal house reference.

First off, I am huge fan of TBD and especially the Stadium Wall. After years of visiting the site and reviewing commentary though, I am still at "rookie" status. I know how it works and obviously I don't comment all that much unless I feel I really have something that truly adds to the conversation. I guess I am a dinosaur in that respect and in the Twitter era. While I don't comment that much, I was contacted by the Buffalo News to help them prepare for an interview with coach McD from one of my posts which I think is a feather in the cap of TBD and shows the reach of our forum discussions. My point is, should total comments really be the bar for what your status is on TBD? Doesn't member longevity, visits or anything like that mean anything? After all we are Bills fans which is about loyalty. If it were about how much we spout off wouldn't we be Pats fans? 😁 It is not that big a deal, just something that crossed my mind reading all the free agent takes from you guys. Go Bills! Bottomline: We are not getting the full benefit of your Bills-related wisdom. I think your self-defined criteria for post usefulness are too high. Please post more. 3
Fr. Jerk Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Pozz reps vs actual post count. Check mine, ya dig?

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Is it sad that my Siri home screen widget recommends TBD to me anytime I wake my phone up? 🧐 3

You know you can just personal message SDS. He could’ve told you. The mods are pretty good at responding. BTW, Howard and Jeremy have commented on TBD multiple times, so those guys do check out from time to time these threads. A few weeks ago, I noticed their morning poll questions, discussion topics were mirroring a day or two after threads came out. Good luck with you’re interview. I don’t know many people care as to their status. I enjoy the conversations for the most part, but don’t look to how many posts people are recorded. I do pay attention occasionally to the poster as I have a great deal of respect for some of the guys. 1

Don’t! (P.S. I hate you.) 14 hours ago, Beerball said: One post more than you = veteran. Thank you, Beerball. The standard has now been set. With each @buffalostu2 post entered, that’s the new rookie ceiling. 16 hours ago, Warcodered said: It's a pretty basic/standard forum mechanic where a bit of flavor text changes as you reach certain post milestones. Bingo.
BigDingus Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 If something gets downvoted or any generally negative reaction from the community, does it still tick up the reputation score?

freddyjj Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 (Correct use "have versus of" + spelling + paragraph usage) Divided by ( LAMPs + duplicate threads + ALL CAPS usage) That is my recommended algorithm for TSW metric

Whats that old saying? Better to say nothing and be thought a fool........than to open your mouth and remove all doubt This is not directed at you but there are some long term people that need "training camp body" as their tag 2
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 I think you stay rookie status until Chandler#81 disagrees with one of your relevant points
Rubes Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Some folks have been on this site long enough to have had kids who are now old enough to be Veterans on this site and start having their own kids. Now *that's* a Veteran. 1 1
Governor Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 This is why I post nonsense. It raises my status and it’s very important to me to know that I’m better than others here. My status is everything. With an elevated status I can manipulate others and force their loyalty through fear. Ok, I made that up. Who checks their status on a regular basis? Lol.
