re: Ross: Help Board vote on Alabama Voters Crossing Over

I say no. There is an SEC Rant board and SEC Recruiting board to discuss with other people. You can also read AL board to get any info u needed. Also if u really want to discuss u can ask for access on their board. I just don't understand why we need to add that here. This is really the only AU board on the web right now where I can get level headed non homer AU discussion. Don't see why we wanna ruin that

Not sure why post count matters so much. I don't have the time to post on here much but I read it daily as I am sure others do. I think our votes matter the same

Point I am making is that I believe that post count does have an effect on your voting preferences in this situation. Most people who have <1000-2000 votes tend to stay on the Auburn board. That means that the only time they have experiences outside of this board is looking at the rant and seeing constant flaming and I doubt most guys read through the threads.

I would argue that most people with >3000, especially >10,000 post on other boards enough to understand that no everyone is a troll (just most people) They believe that they can find quality people who won't flame and will only contribute. Also, they realize that most people with access to other boards use it sparingly simply to add things when relevant anyways.

Maybe so. I used to read the rant all the time but there's not much on there anymore of any value. Most of the names on the list to add over here are ppl I see egg on the flame wars so I didn't see the value in bringing that over here. If I want real info from another point of view I check out the recruiting threads for UGA and AL. U learn where they think they stand

I don't know if it's something TD will ever do but it seems to me the better solution would be allow PMing so you can interact with whatever fan you want without the combustability of fans going to other boards to post.

Chicken will never let this happen. Twitter is a viable option for PMing though. I know several posters have a TD/SECr twitter.

Fun fact:

For posters with under 1,000 posts during their career, the tally was as follows:

Yes: 2

No : 15

Fun Fact: Who gives a frick?

Oh yeah, the people trying to get access to the bama forum.

So people that don't post a lot should have it held accountable to people that post countless useless posts and who pad their post count with replies that have nothing more than an emoticon or a stupid gif?

Can't believe you wasted your time looking at everyone's post count.

Gene are you a political science major? You'd have a good career in politics and a spin doctor.

Nevermind me as a voting Rep. I am not educated enough on other posters. If we do this though I think we should have Rep votes with at least 75% to let an outsider in.

As a sidenote, after looking through that voting list in the sticky thread I noticed several names I didn't recognize. I've always wondered how many folks look through these threads and don't usually post.

The vote is not even close to a split much less an apporval so this thread should be anchored.

It has already been pointed out multiple times by both Aubies and Bammers alike that access to one board by one fanbase will not guarantee or even suggest authorization on the other for posters. If guys posted their thoughts here, I wouldn't have to go tothe Bama board. I have no interest in chatting with them, just want their information and to have access to question them about it.

Also, just like I ask questions of Ellitor and anyone else that posts stuff in the recruiting thread, I would like to be able to do that somewhere else. See if there was something that was forgotten, that I missed or to clarify. Don't know why that is criminal

How dare you insinuate all I do is post emoticons or stupid gifs. I believe my gifs are quite clever Serious note, I think it is more indicative of their SECRant posting habits and experience with other fan bases. Most people who don't leave the Auburn board probably have not seen posters that are rational because they are few and far between. Doesn't mean they aren't there though

Took about 2 minutes. Just scrolled till I found a post count <1000 and took a count

Not a Poli Sci major, I want a job I work with numbers though and plan on doing that for a living before I move into upper OT baller status uppermanagement

I just think it's a slippery slope if you start allowing any access at all. This is the only Auburn message board I can stomach to post on. I'm not going to agree with allowing Alabama fans access because there IS a possibility that it could change the nature of the board. Again, we already have boards to discuss things with opposing fans, and it isn't difficult to pick out the posters that know what they're talking about and the ones that don't.
