IMO, you nailed... all boards eventually devolve to the lowest common denominator (see SEC Recruiting Board). This place has been good b/c of the lack of flaming... letting others in opens the door for that.
I don't see the point, really... I get the idea of having another side's opinion on specific recruits, but that info can be gained with relative ease anyway.
The bama board could probably pull off letting select others in b/c their fanbase is so strong right now... little to no division. This place isn't like that (probably never will).

My major point of contention on this issue is that the space to have universal opinions already exists. It exists for football and recruiting discussions.
This board has operated as an exclusive area for Auburn posters to interact without other fan groups and should continue to do so. The experience of this board should not change because of people's frustration with other boards. That's no-no and you guys know it.

part of the problem is the lack of a visible presence of an Admin on many of the boards. Sure they will do a ban and warn folks, but no one knows it, so the others carry on and continue with it.
The team boards have a more visible admin, for the most part, an I think folks would be a little more apprehensive to flame, knowing it is easier to be punished and in a more prolific manner

Really the only thing that needed to be said on the whole topic.

Not asking for universal opinions. I am asking for limited supervised opinions to supplement our homor positiger opinion. This is not a "allow everyone" idea, it is allow quality people who will make the board better

People from other fanbases already have access to this board so your point is already wrong.For 6.5 days out of 7 in the week, it is likely that we would never come across an Alabama poster. They aren't going to take up residence here and hang out. No one else we have allowd access to have been regular contributors. So their impact would be minimal and we would onnly see them if they had something to ask or contribute. Also, if we hand pick them, the likelyhood of devolving is low since it isn't them that caused the shitshow that is the rant

I think the Alabama Board has at least three, with Alahunter, FreshEatingSalsa, and Tuck.

Most boards seem to have additional moderators. I like Ross' moderation style but if he needs help, I don't see why someone couldn't get promoted from the ranks. Give Ross some backup/help
Honestly I think that should happen anyways just so Ross doesn't have to waste too much time patrolling (didn't he say he was in engineering?)
He's done a great job though so this isn't a knock on him

agreed, but Ross is already more visible on here than Ice & Chicken are on all the regular boards. They both do due their admin duties, but it is done on the backend, without anyone being the wiser.

Well Ross has called me his deputy in the past. So I'll accept the position.

I would support that.

We see Ross around and he does a good job running the board. I just think, especialy with the school year coming up, we should look into adding an additional 2 mods like most other boards to be like a checks and balance system
I don't have a problem with the way things are, but unless Ross is perfectly fine doing the work, I'd imagine he wants help
I nominate Ellitor just because he is online and follows the recruiting thread more than anyone should. Haven't thought about anyone else yet
