Yet here you are trying to do her job for her; that's cute.
Im sorry perhaps a semi colon would help. Everyone is now the forum police; thats cute.???
Everyone is now cute forum police ?
???
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 up about what is or is not to be moderated and let the mods do their job. Hows that for community?

McDyess to the Spurs?!?! YES!!!11
Precisely my point.
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.
I know. I tried to illustrate your point.
Just making sure. I didn't know if you thought I was the pot or the kettle in that scenario.
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 .
One tip to new posters though, is to read the last few pages of even the longest topics to avoid a faux pas.
Yeah I figured you couldn't figure the difference.
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.
This thread fails... I need to post an epic failure pic, so hold on.
You are trying to advocate for certain ethics / rules within this forum.
That's pretty obvious.
It was Hoopsworld. There is no other source.Clearly don't value? defending? Youre pure awesomesauce you paragon of forum virtue.

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 at ude and an individual acting as if you have any authority to say what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.
hoppsworld blows.
Who would believe you if you said that you did have authority to judge behavior for the forum ? What consequences would you impose ?
This was a stupid thread to start. And we explained why it was a stupid thread to start so that this wouldn't happen again.
That doesn't imply that we think we are the owners or will issue some disciplinary sanction against the original poster.
There are mores everywhere. And normal members of a community express them.
voila.
Where in the rules/FAQ thread does it say you can only have one thread about a marquee FA every spursfan is interested in? Who's to say the owners don't mind many threads right now, until he signs with someone? Nowhere. In fact, Kori goes out of her way to specify there really aren't any set rules.
This thread fails... I need to post an epic failure pic, so hold on.
In case you forgot, a portion of our championship hopes are riding on a quality big like McDyess signing here. God forbid Spurfan be interested in a few threads on the subject matter, instead of a voluminous 30 pager with a thousand replies to read through to find any information.
