Maybe you guys could put in an auto anchor feature for any thread title that has "check in" included.

It's the worst type of trolling. It's lazy trolling.

Are they against the rules? Seems like LSU fans start a ton of them, so I bet they are allowed.

There is one on page 1 by an LSU fan right now.

Could an admin clarify?

Idk if they're against the rules but I'm suggesting the admins make them against the rules.

They really bring down the quality of the board no matter which team's fans start them.

There's no intelligent discourse. No anything. They all end up being 2 or 3 page pissing matches because that's all the OP wants. A pissing match.

Eta: thanks for linking that one. It saves me the trouble.

I think they are entertaining and usually humorous if done right

But we can agree to disagree

OP did not insinuate that they are against any rules. Also, the rules are listed on this website if you need clarification.

I think he just no likey check in threads.

They were "tolerable" until people started making ridiculously specific criteria for checking in. My rationale is that there was only one, easily-ignorable thread on the subject at any given time.

Now we have:

"Check in if your team is 2-0 on the season with AT LEAST 76 yards in the fourth quarter of your last game BUT NO MORE THAN 3.5 average points per game in the middle three minutes of the second quarter."

So yeah, now they need to go.
