While I am new here, and will probably be told to go sit in a corner for bringing it up... but frick it...
I think we should be a little more "selective" with our boards. If you notice most of the other schools have some anti-Aggie mentality unless your name is TBird (not hating, pure jealousy) The fact that we are instantly turned away no matter what our intentions are just because of our team logo is noticable. Maybe we should be the new "exclusive club" and instantly turn people away based on game affliation. (I dont not really want this because, I love having actual football talks about matchups with opposing teams knowledgable fans) but if we dont have that opputunity then maybe we should get the private school mentality and keep our boards clean as well.
Maybe that will force the fanbases that actually want to talk football consider letting us join, right now they dont have to because we are pretty much letting everyone in (again not complaining about that) Just dont think we will ever be able to join other boards if they can just get into ours easily. There is no give and take so to speak.
just my 2 cents.
Also im butt hurt because I couldnt get in the Auburn board.

thats basically what i said in the other thread. that we shouldnt just hand out access to other people when they will add absolutely zero to our board especially when there is such a large anti aggie sentiment on every single other board

I don't mind as long as they're not a-holes. Other fanbases making non-troll comments about our team is enjoyable.

I feel like my posting might have a lot to do with this. I apologize if that's the case.

You have a special talent at getting under the skin of every SEC fanbase on the Rant
No need to apologize - it is a gift

I'd ask for access to other teams boards, if I really cared enough to talk just about their team.

If they know you by name your doing it right. And its fun to watch people get so bent out of shape over your shite.

First off, thanks for your input
The only other board I ever post on is Mizzou (and even then only rarely). Never tried to be the "most liked" poster or anything--I post the same way here that I do on TexAgs, TideFans, etc. Just consistent with my style, I suppose, but I'm really not interested in currying favor with other fanbases or posting on their boards, tbh.
Regarding adding posters:
I'll try to make it clearer in the voting threads, but I have ZERO problem with "nay" votes in those threads. I don't care your reasoning or justification for it (honestly, I'd rather those threads not turn into debate threads). If the majority of Aggie posters aren't comfortable with allowing a visiting poster access, then they don't get access, no ifs, ands, or buts. Additionally, if anyone feels that a visiting poster has overstepped their bounds on this board, myself and WCA have no problem yanking their access--permanently.
We have a great board and great posters, but that doesn't mean we're obligated to play nice. I try to evaluate each poster requesting access individually instead of just looking at their team affiliation out of fairness (and a couple have already been turned away/not even put up to a vote for that reason), but the ultimate decision will always be up to the general consensus of the board.

WCA you become an admin? Laker fans should have some power on these boards

I think all of our current visitors are great posters and should stay, but we need to tighten up on who we let in so we don't ruin what we have going right now.
