It's been a couple months since our last vote on whether or not we would let posters from other teams on our board. I think many of us were hesitant to let others in due to not knowing how this season would go. With how well we have rebounded, I was wondering if our opinion on granting access has changed.

Obviously, if we decided to let others in, they would be voted on by the board (majority, blackball, certain %, etc). And as other boards do, if someone that has been granted access gets out of line, Ross/LCT both have the ability to give that poster the boot (GenesChin, I think you can attest to this).

We let HeyYou on over a month ago and he has been a model poster and an amazing contributor to our board despite his Alabama fan affiliation. If you visit other boards, you can see first hand the pros and cons to letting others in. With basketball season here, I think we could benefit from a couple of new posters that actually know what good basketball is supposed to look like.

Anyway, I guess the question is, are you willing to give posters of other fanbases access to the Auburn Board? Let me know what you think and after a couple days (Sunday night?), I'll tally the votes and we'll see what happens from there. Thanks for everyone's participation. WDE




and remember, everyone is entitled to their opinion on this, so don't turn this into a giant bitchfest

ETA: Yes or No answers please. If you are willing to let even 1 person in, I'm counting that as a Yes. We can figure out the stipulations of voting someone in later if this vote passes.

Vote only once please. Multiple votes by the same user might cause me to disregard your vote altogether.

I voted no last time but if we are selective and put each request up for vote or something similar I would be open to reconsider.

If you're willing to let even one poster in, I'm counting it as an yes. If someone comes up on a vote and you don't like his team affiliation or whatever, then you can vote against him

I'm new here. I do enjoy having a place where it is all Auburn people, except for HeyYou...who even I know has done a lot for our people on here. Because I am new, I won't vote.


(I will say I don't want to have to deal with the trash I run across on tRANT. I don't want the DaleDenton's of the world trashing up the place )

Vote no


My whole problem with this is that access is given to us for some boards

Obviously voting doesn't matter since Hey You was allowed in

This board will turn into a mini rant soon enough

/rant over

I actually am having a change of heart and do not want access for other fan bases anymore than there is now. I know that is a departure from where I was originally, but I really do like having a shelter from non Aubies.

Sorry to my non Aubie friends, and there are some good ones who don't flame. However, I will continue to enjoy your company on the main boards.
