better.
I actually have to agree.
:wakeup
I agree with them tbh.
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.
they forgot the cliffdiving part
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.
:cryQuote:

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?
We're apparently all just a bunch of racists.
But at least we don't live in LA.
Sounds like you're looking for SpursReportQuote:

Btw, I'm no innocent, I've said bad shit as well. Just don't understand where the line is being drawn.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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

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
And....apparently we're talking about the Constitution right now. Guess I missed a few posts :lol
i just saw a thread titled the faggotry thread, they may have a slight point
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.
Since when does "faggotry" have anything to do with race?Quote:

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.
You have to sift through all the bullshit, racist, troll garbage here and it's basically the best message board tbh..
Crofl yeah most of the racism is downstairs, when it does come upstairs it's people making fun of Mexicans in SA.Quote:

I feel better now.
You are from South America...Racism is still normal there.
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).Quote:

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.Quote:
