Mike MacGregor 20 Posted September 13, 2006 Point #1 even... No flaming or name calling. Harassment or abuse directed towards anyone will not be tolerated. Be respectful of other posters. This applies to ALL users, regardless of post count, forum rank or perceived status at FF Today. Communicating on a message board is different from face-to-face communication. Only the words are seen, not your facial expressions or tone of voice. Please pay careful attention to how you use your words. Don't attack individuals. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?act=boardrules Listen kids - we've received way too many reported posts in the last week along the lines of this guy's on an ego trip, or this person is stalking, or whatever. Take note: A. If you feel the need to call out someone, insult someone and in any way communicate directly towards a poster that is not in a respectful manner, like you would talk to that person if they were standing right in front of you - DO NOT post it. B. If you feel you are the subject of someone who failed point A, then DO NOT escalate it by posting more insults. Ignore it, laugh it off - I don't care. Do not make it worse by taking the bait to a flame war. As you can probably guess I have a very low tolerance level today. Consider this your one and only warning. Now, can we get back to football discussion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmm...this seems to be a calculated risk on Mike's part that the posters here are poosays who hide behind their compooters, rather than them just being douche bags online and in real life. I dunno' Mike...knowing this crew as I do, it could backfire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, can we get back to football discussion? Thanks for posting this. I've been reading and posting here since 2001. This forum has become a garbage dump over the last year or so. I hope people take Mike's guidance to heart so that this forum can once again be an informative useful place for FF addicts like myself. If I want to see childish behavior, I can just drop by the local school playground during recess. People- please grow up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you can create a Romper Room Debate forum, and all the fisherman and trolls can spout off all they want and not really disturb the rest of us. Just a thought.

I'm sure that if you try real hard you will be able to answer that question and I'm also sure that about 75% of the "reports" come from the same person(s), at least that was the case when I was moderating.
