Well the company line is that LSU fans troll and their threads don't get whacked, while other fan bases trolls do get whacked. But then you have people say that RAing is for pussies.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.


I think people just want fairness is all. We shouldn't get banned for mentioning the aesthetic qualities of Les Miles' wife in a thread devoted to Coaches' wives, while there is simultaneously a 26 page thread on how trashy Kristen Saban's wedding is.

Know what I mean?

Either let us flame the shite out of each other and allow the posters of the Rant to moderate by way of persecution and tomato throwing, or moderate evenly and fairly.

I'd be okay with no moderation at all except for extreme cases where there would be spamming by a poster starting multiple threads to flood the board, or porn or whatever.

Look, I hear ya. But then after reading all of that I still couldn't help but ask myself "then why does Tuscaloosa still post here if it's so bad?"

If the site is allowed to devolve into a complete cesspool that caters exclusively to the lowest common denominator a lot of people myself included would be turned off sufficient to pursue greener digital pastures.

I'm all for requiring at least some small modicum of class, and for moderator intervention when the flaming reaches the point at which it is entirely tasteless and devoid of any semblance of decency.

I've said before I think wife threads should be off limits period. I think bonfire-based attacks should be off limits. I think Katrina-based insults are beneath contempt.

I would like to think that most of us as majority college educated adults would agree these and other minimal standards of decency should be adhered to and are in the best interests of the board/community.

We all enjoy a little good natured ribbing, but a lot of us (myself and I presume cas4t and others) would realistically go elsewhere if the site made no attempt to mandate at least some standard of decency, prohibiting the most egregious of behaviors and suspending/banning those who choose to engage therein.
