[QUOTE=Schneed10;371969]Being an asshole has it's place though (said the asshole).

But seriously, if people are cluttering the boards with duplicate threads or starting ridiculous threads, why wait for the mods? There should be a degree of vigilance, everyone should feel free to jump on someone for being a retard. There's an unspoken social aspect to this site, one where nobody wants to feel like the new kid at school who got made fun of for his haircut. In my opinion, mocking definitely has it's place. While the mods can lay down the law, we as members can still reinforce the message. We may not be able to ban or give official reprimands, but we can make people feel silly, that's for darn sure. It's a big site, especially during the season. If you see someone being a retard by starting dup threads or writing illegibly, let them know it. This also sends the message to the general public that we as members stand behind the mods; nobody likes dup threads.

Now, I'm NOT advocating personal attacks. I'm not saying jump all over their religious beliefs or something. Just give 'em what's coming to them. You want to act like a retard, you get treated like a retard. It's that simple.

So if people criticize the mods for being Nazi's, just release the hounds on 'em. The mods, as site administration, can't really come down on idiots the way they like to. When someone starts a dup thread, I get a sense that's almost palpable that Matty is THIS CLOSE to writing a post that says "LOOK AROUND BEFORE YOU POST, RETARD." But he can't do that, so he just links to the other thread and locks it. But believe me, he wants to say it. So, let a non-mod say it for him. He can live vicariously through us.

Don't mean to put words in your mouth, Matty, but that's the way I see it.[/QUOTE]

Sometimes I think that the chance to mock complete strangers is the only reason I come here on a regular basis.

I like the football talk too. But nothing beats laying down a good zinger on some tool's new thread.

Is there any chance I could trade, say, New Thread privileges for one month in exchange for a peek at the list of people on the shit list?

Re: Message board 101
 

question - i got benched a few months ago for being sarcastic although it wasnt over-the-top obvious sarcastic. so how do i get unbenched?

to get a permament bench for 1 post out of a few hundred is alil unfair and compels me to join the jerk side of the force.

go skins!

You're back on the practice squad.

Now someone give him negative rep points for rehashing an old thread and complaining about rep points :) (j/k)

You seem to be referring to your rep points. Your rep points are a cumulative total.

When you got benched, someone gave you negative rep points (presumably for being "over the top obvious sarcastic) which pushed your cumulative rep score into negative numbers. The only way to get out is for someone to give you positive rep points and turn your score from negative to positive.

Time has nothing to do with it. You gotta say something smart or funny, then someone may want to award you some rep props.

Or, more simply, you could just not give a crap about your rep score.

Looks like SS just gave you some positive rep to keep you from whining. I'm going to give him some negative rep for doing that.

Re: Message board 101
 

oh okay thanks guys. i dont see much non-redskins or non-nfc east threads in the redskins locker room so i was hesitant about posting a thread on steven jackson's new contract and how these incentive play based contracts might be the new way to structure contracts for premier players. nfl execs want to sign and lock guys into 5 -7 year contracts for what they are comparatively worth today while guys like jackson want a contract that will be competitive this year as well as 4 years from now.

may i suggest an nfl forum for people to talk about non-redskin or non-nfc east related talk? again thanks for the response yall.

go skins!

It's better to keep it as one. What happens for example when there is a discussion about Jason Taylor and then at some point it turns to the Redskins trading for Taylor? Thanks for the suggestion though
