BENE was right when he said its a COMMUNITY. Let people communicate however they want. If a mod wants to merge a thread then fine, let it happen. Just stop calling out people to make you feel high and mighty. ITs just a forum. Nothing serious.

You're just a dumbass. Nothing serious. Someone was making a joke about the 100 post minimum before wading in and starting a thread, particularly one with inaccurate information that's a repost anyway. The mods shouldn't have to constantly be in here with a fucking scooper cleaning up whatever some dipshit decides to step in here and start throwing around. Part of being a community means understanding how things work and showing some respect for it. People who start a thousand useless threads are either not part of that community or are Sequ after a three or four Zimas.

Everyone is now the forum police thats cute. If you look at the front of the board then its pretty apparent that there is no thread indicating that McDyess had signed with the Spurs. Him posting this article says nothing about his diligence before posting. People need to get off their high horses.

Granted the site being referenced is not reliable but this notion that you should expect a post about a signing to be buried 5 pages deep in a thread about the pursuit of a FA is asinine.

People who were actually following the information saw the article when I posted it in the thread. It wasn't five pages deep, it was on the last page, which is where the latest information is.

If people learned how to use a goddamn message board then other people wouldn't have to play forum police all the fucking time. The only thing I like less than having to do that is to have to defend it from idiots like you that wade in, bumping the thread with useless opinions about it.

Im sorry perhaps a semi colon would help. Everyone is now the forum police; thats cute.

If youre idea of community is jumping all over someones ass for posting what he thought was breaking news, then thats just peachy.

BTW, kori made a post about a week ago that boiled down to people needing to shut the fuck up about what is or is not to be moderated and let the mods do their job. Hows that for community?

Actually no I am not. Im not making any statement about what is or is not an acceptable post. I am just saying that I think you are not being cool and referring you to what she did say.

Then you failed despite how much you two pat each other on the back. When I act as if I am in some position of authority based on 'community' then get back to me. I told you what she said. That not me telling you what to do even if you don't know the difference.

ok whatever keep crying about it then.... whatever helps you get to 20k posts first..... only point im making is that youre not going to change it so why waste more of your time that seems to be too valuable to read the occasional repost???

If someone pops in just to start a thread and leaves, then nothing can be done. If someone pops in here to start a thread and stays, then telling them to check the appropriate threads before starting a new thread is perfectly appropriate because they'll probably take their lumps and then do the right thing the next time. In the meantime, don't blame those of us who value this forum for defending it from people who clearly don't.

I agree. No one but Kori/Timvp pay for this, so no one but them should be bothered even the slightest bit by repostings, especially during this period of time when a topic can be 30 pages long. They will merge and delete as necessary, the rest of us shouldn't give a fuck.

One tip to new posters though, is to read the last few pages of even the longest topics to avoid a faux pas.

Maybe there should be a 100 post limit for some posters.

What I read is that a newbie came in, started a brand new thread which said that McDyess was coming to the Spurs based upon Hoopsworld link even though Hoopsworld's trustworthiness is for shizzle and there already was a thread about McDyess.

Hoopsworld has zero credibility so they definitely don't merit a new thread. It screws up the whole board when you have 10 different threads about the same thing, half of them being rumor or creative writing.

The original poster needed to take his lumps. They were coming.

And it would be pretty much over, but you keep trying to defend the op and the original post. Wailing like you are at the wailing wall !

There is such a thing as cause and effect. It's how people learn.
Move on and grow up.

Damn.

Clearly don't value? defending? Youre pure awesomesauce you paragon of forum virtue.

Here's a question: if it was FSSW reporting it then it would merit its own thread right? See in the world I come from when a FA goes from being pursued to having agreed to terms, it gets its own thread. But hey if we don't read the three either Dice threads and ask you if its okay then we don't care about the forum.

that does deserve a :rolleyes.

You are trying to advocate for certain ethics / rules within this forum.
That's pretty obvious.

It was Hoopsworld. There is no other source.
They're known to be completely unreliable.

So, this is contrary to what actually occurred.

And we're trying to prevent extra / stupid McDyess threads that aren't necessary.

This isn't rocket science here.

Still not telling the difference. Theres a difference between an individual preferring a particular attitude and an individual acting as if you have any authority to say what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.
