    We have that already though mookie and some trolls show up from time to time

    Yeah but that's just a international forum in the way of speaking in your own language about anything. What I mean is a special European Basketball forum, for basketball talk. But some months ago, the argentines and other outside europe would think its a good idea, only if the European basketball forum would be made into a International basketball forum, so hence the Int. forum.

    I have asked for the same thing for a while now... especially when we have FIBA tournaments going on... the trolls ruin any possibility of a smart talk of what's going on on it though the NBA's forum original essence is about that...

    Well, I don't know for sure, but I remember when we were talking about it back in September or something, there were quite some people who liked the idea.

    Indeed, especially with FIBA tournaments yes, like the last Eurobasket for example, it would be great to had a special int. ball forum back then, also for the World championships. But of course also Euroleague and French, Greek leagues etc..

    We are fixing the whole forum anyway. Just a general comment. I really feel that we shouldn't be seeing this stuff not on any forum. Anytime this happens in any other forum, it would most probably result in a warning, temporary ban or permanent ban if repeated too many times. It stretches out to many political issues if race and religion is involved in any argument just because a jerk feels like ting on your race.
    Exactly, racism shouldnt be tolerated.

    This is probably the only forum I've been to where Admins and users can interact with each other in a positive way to promote the site and upgrade it. All the other forums I've been to won't even reply to a damn PM. KUDOS to you guys

    What about creating a 'mini forum', moderated by someone with a solid track record, that would be like the "People SW actually wants to talk to" forum? The trolls never are allowed in, or if they are, the mini forum mod swiftly kicks them out? And since it wouldn't show up in the standard list of forums, at least some of the trolls wouldn't know it even existed. Just a thought.

    timvp and Kori, I'm more of a NBA/Spurs dilettante than an expert, but if there is some small way you think I could help, let me know.

    I'm new to the forum and was still in limbo about it due to our rediculous things get around here. Glad to hear this statement.

    I say let him back. Some of his stuff was fun and even (gulp!) informative.
    As long as he doesn't lose his mind in debate he should be okay.

    I suppose this would be a bad time for an LOL SpursTalk?

    I kid, I kid. I agree with this post wholeheartedly. While I still think SpursTalk is the greatest place on the net, the quality of the discussions has left something to be desired lately. There is still some intelligent conversation and debate, but you have to weed through a cluster of player bashing, bad trade scenarios, and general nonsense to find it.

    One of the greatest things about this forum is its freedom and lack of censorship, but that doesn't mean that all posts can completely lack substance. All of the trolls, while occasionally funny, are probably half of the problem. The other half are just people who don't think before posting, or would post something to get a rise rather than contribute an opinion. I'm probably guilty of a little of this as well (I like funny pictures, so sue me).

    I don't think every post made needs to necessarily be a thesis or anything, but if the whole site makes a collective effort to start contributing some genuine discussion, I bet we can easily raise the bar a notch.

    The freedom Spurstalk allows is awesome but it could use a little more moderation especially in the NBA forum. Banning trolls like Culburn and topics like these demonstrate that this site is on the right track.

    Features like th OP's game thoughts are the best things about the site in addition to all the other great Spurs topics. However on the flipside there are still posters, even regulars, that are just trying to threaten eachother with personal attacks and stir up which needlessly adds noise and trolling.

    A feature that might be worth looking into would be a real mainpage for the site instead of going straight to the forum list (not too different from realgm.com). The mainpage could include the features this site offers like the OP's game-thoughts threads and a mainpage puts the great stuff on the forefront for visitors to see and click.

    Great timvp post !

    Regarding international basketball forum I don't know if we need a specific one cauz there is already the international forum and we can open threads there but it lacks a little bit of visibility and maybe you should includ it in the Sports forum.

    If I can do something for the forum it would be my pleasure even if my BB knowledge is limited compared to you guys, for the rest I will keep on retaining myself to open useless threads, making crazy sigs etc...


    BTW if KBP could have a little bit of decency, seeing him again on the forum would be fun, he has some international bb knowledge once in a while from Greece or Arkansas or whatever the place he lives.

    We used to have it, but took it down. I'm not sure we would consider it again but perhaps. Thanks.
