billsfreak Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Not trying to start trouble, honestly, but I made post during the game (wasn't aware I wasnt supposed to) and it got locked up, then when I made a comment my acccount was locked out. What is the reason for this? Is there reasoning behind this rule, if so, please explain. I am not sure what harm it does? Thanks.
taterhill Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 clutter 150 posts about the same thing 1500 posts during the game makes it too hard to navigate the board
SKOOBY Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 All gametime things get stuffed into the game day thread. There would be 100 threads about how everyone hates every play otherwise. Mind you we all want to vent with our own thread but until after the game, it all goes in the pot.
billsfreak Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 Not sure it makes sense to me and didn't think I was venting, but whomever runs the board could at least explain, instead of just locking you out of the board for 4 or so hours. A little courtesy might be nice. Just because people are upset about the Bills (I am one also), don't take it out on others.

In-game Moderating Policy (It's pinned, right there for all to see, at the very top of the board.)

In-game Moderating Policy (It's pinned, right there for all to see, at the very top of the board.) And they couldn't say "please read the policy? didnt even have to say please, but to just lock you out? Like I said, dont take it out on others.
The Dean Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 And they couldn't say "please read the policy? didnt even have to say please, but to just lock you out? Like I said, dont take it out on others. The policy is pinned and bolded. Don't complain because you didn't bother to read the rules.
TheChimp Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 If the actual Game Thread were pinned, this wouldn't really be a problem, would it?
The Dean Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 If the actual Game Thread were pinned, this wouldn't really be a problem, would it? Why would that solve anything?
TheChimp Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Why would that solve anything? Because then the "clutter" wouldn't hinder anyone finding the Game Thread. After the game ends, the gobs of similar threads always occur, anyways, so the rules are just a tad foggy in their logic. Don't mind me. I was always a problem child.

After the game ends, the gobs of similar threads always occur, anyways, so the rules are just a tad foggy in their logic. Don't mind me. I was always a problem child. Maybe you need to read the pinned thread on the policy. It has nothing to do with "finding the thread". The gameday thread is almost always at, or near, the top of the board, so I doubt people are starting new threads because they don't see the "official" thread. For the record, here is the policy post (bolded emphasis mine): There seemed to be some confusion over deleted threads during the Cardinals game. For those of you who may not be aware of the way this board operates, to ease the strain on our server, we have a longstanding policy of not allowing multiple new game-related threads while the official gameday thread is still active. We thank you for your cooperation, and apologize for any misunderstandings.
Simon Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 The first time you did it I took the time to politely ask you not to start new threads during games, including throwing in a please and thank you even though there are multiple places on the Wall already requesting such, which anybody paying the least bit of attention would have noticed. Your response? To start yet another new thread during the game, immediately after you had been politely asked not to; this time commenting on how the rule is stupid and this is some kind of communist board. You'll pardon me if I now fail to sympathize with your self-absorbed bleating.
BillsWatch Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Since this is not football related it should be on customer service board but this is not surprising since poster did not read pinned thread regarding rules either.
R. Rich Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Since this is not football related it should be on customer service board but this is not surprising since poster did not read pinned thread regarding rules either. I think it's a good PSA on game day posting do's and dont's.
