Pinned thread titles should be shortened so they're only 1 line on the mobile version of the board:

2020 Bama Baseball Thread
(9-0, 0-0) - Baby Bammers

Get rid of the unneeded crap to make it 1-line:

Bama Baseball (9-0, 0-0)

The two pinned basketball thread titles should also be shortened to 1 line. Crap like "2020" and "thread" aren't needed. Shorter 1-line titles:

UA Basketball (15-13, 7-8)

UA Basketball Recruiting


ETA: Thanks guys!! Much better!!

Except the thread title Bama Baseball (9-0, 0-0) - (Next : Harvard 3x) doesn't need next opponent info taking up a 2nd line. The schedule is in the thread's 1st post. George still needs to fix that.

I thought we were trying to reduce the number of stickied threads? 36% of the first page is now stickied. On mobile, I can't even see the first new post without scrolling.

Honestly, scrolling past the pinned threads isn't a big chore. I got almost all of the pinned thread owners to shorten their thread titles to 1-line on the mobile version of the board display, which cut the space used by the pinned threads a lot. There's 3 more pinned threads this time of year for coaching changes, softball & baseball. And the CFB Coaching Carousel thread can now be unpinned.

It's not, I was using it as an example of just how many there are.

I'd personally love to see many of them gone. But you get use to scrolling past them pretty quick on the bright side.

Complaint: Tired of the 1 way modding around here. Call me names = many upvotes, 0 complaints.

I do the same in return = oh you're gonna get banned.

3rd - you aren't wrong and I agree. But I think we've done (or tried) to not "punish" anyone for calling names.

As you've said, it's a message board and we're adults. Can't do much about upvotes or downvotes, but I have no desire to start banning people again.

3down10, I think you are right, but I believe that we are getting the board to a better place now. Give it a few weeks and let's see if we all settle down to a nice off-season groove. I have had to wrangle myself in as well and am not blameless.

None of us are blameless. I believe we all get too wound up at times. It is what it is. Kinda believe we are spoiled and need a Championship

Your own behavior is what created the situation that you're complaining about. Continuing the same behavior and expecting different results is just more evidence of insanity.

Is there anything you won't blame people for?

Actually, I gave you some sincere advice, but I doubt you'll be open-minded or honest enough with yourself for it to help you.
