Well I tried.

What the heck does that mean? You act like this is a Van Halen split and you are David Lee Roth. You aren’t even Sammy Hagar. People don’t come here to read what YOU post.PapaG wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 12:09 amI see what’s really happening.

Is this really the hill you want to die on?PapaG wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 11:16 pmKevin, if you want to ban me for posting what Biden and Psaki say, go for it.
It’s been a long, good ride here and I met Randy and Brad through it in real life.
If this is my last post here … Go Bobcats and most of you know who I am if you’re in a Portland a month from now. As always, Friday night alumni get together at the Kingston off of Burnside in NW downtown by Providence Park.
If it was simply about feedback, sure. When you impugn the character of the creator of the board by saying he is trying to get Troy Andersen to wear a BN sweatshirt to classes for a fee or that he has an ulterior motive on how he moderates the board, without merit, that is something else. If you believe his intentions pure, good luck with that.
A little clarification please. When you ask about believing "his" intentions are pure, are you referring to kmax or PapaG? I'm not good at reading intentions of others. I have never figured out why kmax has reservations about asking for assistance in moderating his sandbox. Just on this thread are several users that seem like they'd LOVE to be volunteer moderators.profisme wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 12:44 amIf it was simply about feedback, sure.

PapaG’s intentions. I don’t know if I’ve seen any posters on here who would be good moderators, myself included. This board was started to talk about Bobcat sports, mostly football. I would LOVE to see the focus of the site called Bobcat Nation to at least spend the majority of its efforts on Bobcat Athletics.Rich K wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 1:08 amA little clarification please.

I'm curious to see if kmax will entertain PapaG's offer.

Dangerous content? WTF? Did somebody on here hand over the names of American citizens in Afghanistan to the Taliban?kmax wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:17 amI keep seeing this so I'm going to try to clarify one thing. At NO TIME have I made mention of who or what was getting reported by the ad provider with the "Dangerous and derogatory content." If it was your content you would have been made aware of it. This whole narrative that those reports somehow targeted a certain group or "side" is something that has been fabricated here in this thread. It is not what happened, I never took sides nor did the ad provider. I'm sure some won't want to believe that. I don't get that mindset but I know it is going to happen based on the history here but it is the simple truth.
Since we have your attention, I've never tested this "rule" out but is cursing not allowed on BN? Everyone always uses symbols instead of the actual words. Is that a rule and if so is it yours or the ad provider's?kmax wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:58 amHoly $&@#! A chester sighting?!

It seems kind of childish to make people use symbols but I can also see the slippery slope. This thread and the old forum are perfect examples of how it would get out of hand.
I'm not suggesting a change, just curious.

I kind of do it out of habit honestly, the typing symbols for that I mean. There is word replacement in the system for exactly 4 words, that's it and they are just replaced with asterisks. It's been in place since the board started 17 years ago so I honestly haven't even thought about it much in a long time. Don't disagree it is a bit childish and probably why we kept it very limited in scope all that long time ago but yeah not difficult to see how it could become an issue (thanks chester for the assist here ).coloradocat wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 9:51 amSince we have your attention, I've never tested this "rule" out but is cursing not allowed on BN?

I have an idea for consideration. Maybe add some words to the “word replacement” bin. I am thinking: Biden, Trump, Kamala, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, etc…. Some of these threads would be unreadable…kmax wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 10:25 amI kind of do it out of habit honestly, the typing symbols for that I mean.
