Forum Ettiquette

[rockyroad]

Anyone else remember the squirrel image that would pop up every now and then??? Ahhhhh, those were the days.

Needs to be some room for fun and games on here, without going to far into ridiculousness.

Seems to me that the moderators are doing a fairly good job of, well, moderating things around here. If something is annoying to you and the mods don't jump on it? Don't read it.

And as someone else posted...there are a lot more annoying things to me than the jokes and pics one person posts. There are several regulars on here who 1) flat out lie about other posters, or 2) take their points into the realm of assininity by refusing to back down from their stand even when it is refuted by rule, case, interp, etc...and instead going to the weary "in my area" argument.

C'est la vie.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to the annual off topic baseball thread. My Red Sox are having a great year and I need a place to brag about them.

Not that I have a vote, per se, but I'm completely fine with the way things are currently running.

And I think imposing a limit on how many times one could post on a thread in an hour would be detrimental, and probably more annoying than having to wait 30 seconds between searches. When there's a good discussion, and I have input/insight/opinions/perspective I'd like to share, I want to be able to do so immediately if I so choose after seeing the reply email pop up in my inbox.

Those were also the days when some Forum members would bully others, and name calling was a common thing. I actually just "observed" this Forum for several months, before I decided to join, and post, because I was actually afraid that some would try to bully me if my opinion didn't quite agree with their opinion. I am not a type of person that likes to get involved with a lot of name calling. Since then the moderators have done a great job of cleaning up that negative aspect of the Forum. Last week JRutledge, and I, had a heated debate and not once did either JRutledge, or myself, resort to name calling. Keep up the good work moderators (except Mark T. DeNucci, Sr., who spends most of his time on the water polo forum).
