Strike 3,968 Posted July 23, 2018 So, in addition to no talking about hot chicks, rule #1, we now have the following additional rules: 2) Quote manipulation is not allowed. Not even FYP humorous ones. From the Fuhrer: Do not ever quote a person adding words that they didn't say. Even adding bolded or italicized or the strike through text. If you quote something, let it be exactly what they said. Nothing more. If you want to quote just part of what they said and you can do it without taking it out of context and changing the meaning of what they said, you can do that. Do not intentionally take things out of context so that they will be "funny". Quotes should accurately reflect what someone said. That's pretty basic. Do it here please. 3) No posting long articles. Only a link. This happened when someone posted a recipe in a lame thread. From the account "FBG Moderator": Correct. Please don't post long articles or recipes or whatever in full. It simply takes too much space. They need to rename the place NFFBG - The No Fun Football Guys. Gets lamer on a weekly basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,639 Posted July 23, 2018 Oh, I would so totally quote manip that post. I mean Jesus, it's like putting a Milk-Bone on a dog's nose for Christ's sake. I figured that place at 15 years ago. Just a bunch of stick up the ass waiting praying to God to be offended so they can run to local Joe and whine bunch of guys.

EternalShinyAndChrome 2,515 Posted July 23, 2018 It’s like a bizarro mirror image of here. Over there is mostly left learners limited in their speech and are shocked with vulgar or sophomoric chat. Over here is, well, the opposite of all that. It's not even a bizarro image. The right over here is much more balanced than the left over there so it's not even an apples to apples comparison. it's not even close. They report right-leaning posters like motherf@ckers over there. It's like a high-school clique in constant outrage and hysteria mode all day long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There isn't a mod there that leans right so they're ok with the petty rules and ousting those who don't tow the party line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,296 Posted July 24, 2018 Got banned at FBG... For either one of two comments: Joe posted "All of you please drop it. The constant whining about each other makes the board worse. All of you please stop it. " I replied, "You new here?" Or from Newbie posting about another "troll": "False? Five times a day I see the same routine with you. You troll, you get attacked, you hastag Joe and cry. Wet hair, lather, rinse, repeat. I respond to whoever I want. You have the option of ignoring me if the heat gets to be too much. But that won't stop the other fights you get into every day. Be better." I replied asking him if he has made any more claims of wanting Trump assassinated.
