Ross just needs to do some post whacking and stern AUADMIN warnings. I will be awaiting a PM from him shortly.

IMO, the the recruiting OP was worth a sh*t, he'd be doing that kinda thing in in the 1st post.

As someone who's done the Recruiting thread, that's a fricking understatement.

I think low was fricking with sand is all. If he was serious than that was dumb.

I think we should have an idea board without all the discussion. I had to read through a lot of blah, blah, blah in this thread and I just wanted to see ideas.

If there are any posts in particular that violate the rules and/or ruin the quality of the thread feel free to RA them and I'll look at them.
But a recruiting thread is going to have discussion and it's going to have speculation, that's just inevitable. In my opinion, as long as the conversation is on topic and does not devolve into excessive IMing there isn't much harm in that. Readers might have to skim through a bit but I don't think it would be too excessive if people stuck to recruiting information.
But like I said, RA anything that needs to be looked at and I'll take care of it.

I have been told premium content can be summarized on the SECr. Done that. I was told you can post direct quotes from recruits and their coaches in premium articles as long as you also give the link. Done that. Outside of recruit and coach quotes the only thing I ever copy and pasted was free content. I have never copied anything else from premium articles.
That's what paysites are for, and honestly, too many people are quoting directly from the paysites info and putting it in the recruiting thread.
That needs to stop. They monitor that shite. Chicken's already asked about it once before. Just summarize in your own words if you have any pertinent info that you have gotten from AUC, Rivals, etc.

Not directed at you. But I've seen full articles posted in the thread that were premium articles, with no links given at all.

Ross, I was just bullshitting about it. Aint no big deal for me. It strays at times, but it is inevitable with a running thread.
Posted on 6/4/13 at 10:44 pm to RockyMtnTigerWDE
And most of the time the straying is still somewhat recruiting related. It just happens to be Alabama recruiting related

True and like you said. You want str8 recruiting info there are sites for that.
Posted on 6/4/13 at 11:37 pm to RockyMtnTigerWDE
So, pretty much people are complaining about having to read posts for info. On a message board.
Thanks Obama.
Thanks Obama.

This is the only thing I can't stand. If I wanted to see grown men scobbing Saban's knob, I'd go to the SECr or the Alabama Board. I don't wanna see that shite in here.

I think you complain about it about as much as it actually happens. We get it.

Problem is we need team board general talk thread. Not really im threads, but general auburn talk, without having to start a stupid new thread for everything that pops into your or include it where you know people will see(recruiting board).
I suggested this a while back on the help board and was told, no.
I was going to ask about this.
I start threads for articles or intersting info and there are often few post. It's not that I dont think people are clicking the thread, I just think they read the articles and move on. It would be nice to have a central location to post this type of info rather than starting a new thread each time
I know there's' the "Everything Auburn" thread but I consider that more about the places and events. This thread would be for articles, twitter pics, interesting facts ect. For example, I posted an article on Tim Hudson getting his degree from Auburn a while back and it may have gotten one response. Having a thread to post all similar info might be a better idea?
This is just a suggestion as I dont really know exactly how it would work
