OK, we've gone back and forth about the bona fides of posters here as "true fans" - none of which has much of anything to do with the subject of this thread. Please take the rest of those discussions elsewhere please; repeating the same arguments over and over just bloats threads with useless posts. I notice you only step in when those roaches need defending...not a peep while they bloat every single thread every day. I notice you tend to pepper your posts with pejorative name calling. Aside from being impolite, it actually detracts from your substantive points. My post was not in "defense" of anyone in particular. As for me not peeping, come on over and help my do my 27 hour a day primary job and see how much extra time you have to read every post here.

Not just people I disagree with. Every time we’re on the precipice of getting at the root of some of these boards problems (and hopefully addressing them) it seems you like to dead the conversation. Just making an observation. Well if you don’t have time to do something properly, why do it at all?

Maybe we can begin with the question is the post on topic?

Speaking for myself personally, when I see a thread devolving into a back and forth argument that has little to do with the thread subject I’ll post something. If I see a major board rules violation I am more likely to send a PM to that specific poster. I did nothing of the kind to you and posted about name calling because more than one poster was doing it. That’s all I am going to say on this topic other than we have not appointed individual board members to fix the board’s ‘problems’.

Dan, thanks for all you do and the time you spend keeping this place sane. Perhaps rock doesn't like it, but I - and I am sure many others - very much appreciate it.

I and the other moderators are not perfect - this is a busy place and we all have jobs that come first so we miss things. That said, any one here is welcome to PM us if they think there is something that needs intervention that we have missed.

Well if you don’t have time to do something properly, why do it at all? Yeah! How dare you provide me with a completely free service that isn't exactly to my liking! Never mind that no one is forcing me to use it and I can't be bothered to do it myself--I want it my way! Mine mine mine! A simple "thanks for what you do" would have been fine. Thank goodness for the block function. Edited--Admin

Thank goodness for the block function. Edited--AdminYeah that’s not what I said, but please, continue in your feelings...if you don’t understand what reasonable censorship is and what it looks like, whether “intentional” or not, then there’s no point in us having the conversation. But I guess sheep are basically incapable of questioning the hand that “feeds” them so I don’t blame you. And just because something is free doesn’t make it good....but only people with standards could understand that. I don’t half ass important things, especially if they affect others, but you can choose to support that type of behavior all you want. But don’t come at me and misconstrue my words because I’m the one that expects people to do better. And like I pointed out, the mods really step in selectively and I’ve noticed a pattern. Great they do it “voluntarily”, but that’s neither here nor there. There are still responsibilities. Anyway I’m gonna leave it at that before any more feelings get hurt. The truth hurts.

I have been on this board pretty much since the start. The moderators have never "selectively" edited or deleted posts or admonished posters. Ever.

Cause that’s asinine. You think I’m just reacting and remembering to things I’ve made up then? Just because that’s not YOUr experience doesn’t mean it’s not someone else’s. And frankly I don’t know how you can confidently say that you’ve digested every single post on this board and know the exact content and explanations for deleted posts....where’d you get your crystal ball?

Thank you for the time, effort and passion you bring to the board. Ignore the spoiled children. It’s literally the opposite, but I guess you’re one of those people that think you’re automatically mature because you have some years under your belt? No offense but you don’t seem to know which way is up, I’m literally pushing back against what you’re accusing me of... You clearly don’t understand this “participation era” nonsense you’re trying to spew. There is nothing more epitome of “participation era” than posters shouting “I don’t care if I’m wrong and don’t have experience, I’m gonna dangerously speculate how I’m going to speculate because it’s my right on this board to post whatever my views are no matter how inaccurate, as long as I do it politely people will defend any nonsense” that is about “fairness”. Or whining about how “mean that man on that message board was to me when I was wrong”. Like boohoo, you don’t get points for participation. How about we try to be correct in our assertions. Many are too lazy, and some, like you, would like to see that lazy preparation continue apparently. See, ironically even you misunderstand very plain English words... Know better, do better is all I’m advocating for. And if you (general) don’t know better, how about you take some time to listen to others (we have many experts on this board) and eventually you’ll be able to understand better and develop the ability to distinguish from reality and speculation. No offense but if posters don’t want to keep hearing about themselves (from me), maybe they should also exhibit the respect they are looking for when talking about our program, coaches, and players. Because like I noted in another post they are real people too and the only difference is they’re not here to defend themselves. I’ll never understand why so many on this board take issue with me taking up for them. All good though, I sleep well at night.

I am new to posting but I have been watching the boards for a few years and I have to say, I am total support of rockhoya. FrazierFanatic comment about the board doesn't edit, delete or admonished posters is totally untrue. How do I know? Because, it actually happened to me! My post wasn't deleted but it was moved to another thread, the moderator made up, along with the string of related comments. Now granted, my post was "off the subject" and so I understand the admin may have been a little annoyed. However, I said in my post, that I wasn't going to speak on this subject anymore after I made my last comment. The interesting thing is....throughout the years, I have seen many post veer off topic and the admins begging posters to stay on topic. However, I never seen a thread get moved. Never ever. I get the feeling because I was speaking about Coach Ewing maybe too glowingly, the admin felt some type of way and moved the whole thread. I said to myself, I've never seen an admin move a whole thread before, wow! Maybe I'm wrong in my thought/perception but I swear I have seen the admins begging people to stay on topic for a lot of these post. If I am right about what I've seen, that is a form of "selective" editing or at least "selective" moderating. Also, there are too many posters saying negative things about the players and coaches. It's almost like they want the team to fail. I often time think these guys can't be real Hoya fans. They must be assistant coaches or fans of other schools that the kid has on his list and they are trying to steer the kid away from Georgetown. How many times have I seen, "oh he's a Duke lean"? "Oh he's a Memphis lean". How many times have I seen players critized in these post? The posters criticize the present players, the past players and the high school players. What is that all about? It certainly is strange since we all are supposed to be Hoya fans.

This is a TYLER BEARD thread. It should contain discussion about TYLER BEARD and his relationship to the Georgetown Hoyas basketball team and the university. Start a new thread if you want to argue about board operations.

Just this past week DFW’s thread about Hoya fans started as a post in a different thread. You shouldn’t take that as a slight, it’s actually a way to give your posts (really fun and interesting ones I’ll add) more visibility in a proper place where others can see them and respond accordingly. [mention]danmcq [/mention] does a really great job here, even though his job is especially important right now. He helps to keep us all within the board rules, which doesn’t involve moderating positivity or negativity. [mention]rockhoya [/mention] The negativity from some posters can be tough, but debate and discussion should refrain from personal attacks and name calling because they detract from the points being made and that’s when mods get involved.
