There was like, one actual opinion. Why should we give a damn?

And just for the hell of things I'll say this:

I will ALWAYS take a little-to-non moderated forum over a heavily moderated place. Why? Go have a look at the official Dallas Cowboys forums. That place is Nazi Germany.

[210baller]

better.

[spursince#99]

I actually have to agree.

[RD2191]

[BatManu20]

I agree with them tbh.

[8FOR!3]

SpursTalk is pretty anything goes for a sports message board. And the trolls are the only racists on this site. It's not like regular members are here talking racist. I think there's actually a good troll/regular poster mix here. The trolls aren't TOO over the top to ruin the site.

[elmanutres]

they forgot the cliffdiving part

[Keepin' it real]

A plethora of foul mouthed losers on this site. The lack of forum moderators makes it downright embarrassing ... for the losers who can't help themselves. They should be banned. It's fun to discuss Spurs topics, but several of you take the fun out of it.

SpursTalk is the greatest fourm on the interwebs tbqh. The freedom of speach here is beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes.

Yes it's great that ST is not heavily moderated, but its quite obvious racism is a problem. There is a reason they tried to implement system changes to moderate the racism unlike ever before.

[Gospursel]

This is the only sport forum I'm a part of, what would more moderating look like? Fewer offensive posts? Fewer straight up stupid posts?

[Darkwaters]

We're apparently all just a bunch of racists.

But at least we don't live in LA.

But why is racism always the cardinal sin? There are some really bad things said on here in general, some peeps who go after personal info as well, not to mention some trolls are better off banned, though quite a few are funny. Btw, I'm no innocent, I've said bad shit as well. Just don't understand where the line is being drawn.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, go to Spursreport if you are feeling fascistic. And SMD.

I don't think (and this is just my opinion) that racism is the cardinal sin. I just think it's the most rampant thing going on that would be considered uncouth which is why they focused on it.

STFU cracker tbh

this was a better site when mod better but it is still the best

[Gospursel]

Spurstalk has such high activity and enough insightful contributions that it puts spursreport to shame. I put up with the sewer of crap for the gold nuggets and constant flow of interaction. I will say, our crap/gold nugget ratio has been mighty bad recently

I agree. I just think whatever rules are established, if any, it should be simple and consistently enforced. But if they want to keep things the same, I'm fine with that as well.

[manufan10]

Why do people in here complain about ST yet continue to post here? If you don't like it then go find another forum to be a part of. It's really that simple.

So a couple of Lakers fans call us racist & that is suppose to be meaningful how? It isn't just a Spurstalk generalization. It is a Texas stereotype. Who gives a fuck? Almost absolute freedom of speech is what makes this site amazing. We all make the choice to visit or not. If it is so unbearable then those who get offended should leave with their 10 post count & spend their own time moderating their own site.

[tesseractive]

Why do people complain about Matt Bonner and cheer for the Spurs? There are 29 Bonner-free teams in the league if you don't like him.

There are lots of things to like about ST, but some problems due to the lack of moderation. There are other (non-Spurs) forums on the internet that manage to be a lot more open than SR without the same level of offensive posts as are here. I think it's pretty fair game to like a website, and still have some things about it that you don't like.

So you never complain about your family, your friends, your government/country, etc? I guess not because otherwise you'd be in a different country with different folks.

[210baller]

Who gives a fuck?
Case and point. :clap

[Marcus Bryant]

People want to be free until they realize that everyone else might be.

This country participated in a war because of fuckers like you. Fuck you.

[UnWantedTheory]

So because I am not easily offended & I used the word "fuck", that somehow proves your point of racism and "name calling" ?

Freedom does not mean the same thing as an absence of rules.

Except in, you know, Somalia.

Rules?


Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


Fuck you Spurs fan.

And see, I didn't even realize that this forum was being run by Congress. The things you find out....

Doesn't say that private spaces, physical or virtual, shall not make such restrictions. Just that Congress shall not.

You wanted rules for freedom. There they are. Those aren't rules to not be offended when your ass is surfing.

Get the fuck out of here.

Great rules for running a country. Not the only possible rules for running a website.

[Marcus Bryant]

The Constitution does not stop with the government, Tinkerbell.

[tesseractive]

The Constitution does not stop with the government, Tinkerbell.
The Constitution governs what the federal government can do. The 14th Amendment applies many of these laws to the states. But the restrictions that apply to government entities do not automatically apply to private entities.

For example, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," but private organizations -- such as churches -- are obviously allowed to do so.

[jestersmash]

The funniest guy on LG is a user named Jeffs. I can't imagine another individual being anymore irrational or unprincipled in his or her assessment of rival players on non-Laker teams.

Sometimes I visit LG just to read his posts so I can get quick chuckle, tbh :lol

[jestersmash]

And....apparently we're talking about the Constitution right now. Guess I missed a few posts :lol

[marinoman]

i just saw a thread titled the faggotry thread, they may have a slight point

[TheyCallMePro]

You gotta be kidding me. I love this site. People actually make intelligent and well thought out posts here. There are very few trolls on this site. The only one I can really think of is hater.

The only other sports forum site I go to is shaggybevo.com. Just for the humor though. There's very little quality conversation going on. That's one of the reasons I like this site so much. You're not trolled for putting your thoughts out there. Seriously, this is the most mature site I've come across.

In other words, are you one of them Popsuckers and Manu fan boys?

the funniest part is most of the vulgar and racist posters here arent even fucking spurs fans :lol

take that pussy shit to spursreport fkn wanker

[tim_duncan_fan]

The racism is prett pretty pathetic, but it's mostly just fat/unathletic/unsuccessful types who are pissed/jealous because a bunch of niggas get paid ridiculous amounts of money to play a game.

I encountered this shit at work during the NFL lockout. The true racism will come out of an hourly worker when you tell him a bunch of black dudes won't immediately agree to play ball for a couple million dollars less on their multimillion dollar contracts. The butthurt gets palpable.

[InRareForm]

You have to sift through all the bullshit, racist, troll garbage here and it's basically the best message board tbh..

[Bill_Brasky]

Crofl yeah most of the racism is downstairs, when it does come upstairs it's people making fun of Mexicans in SA.

OP is a LG user apparently.....pretty fuckin sad that you actually visit that site OP....

Not sure about the second part since I don't post on any other boards, but you definitely have to sift through a lot of BS here. But who cares, ST rocks (for now).

Yeah, we wait with guns on the border and kill illegal immigrants down here. No wait... that's right, there isn't such thing as an illegal immigrant here, everybody is free to just come here without the risk of being locked in or shot.
