You mean when he and Saban gave their opinions (free speech) on the 4 best teams at the time of the playoff and the committee agreed with them?
Worry about your team.

The casual censorship on this site is clearly more out of control on than the alters. Why not just refute the content and ideas in the post instead of trying to get others to disregard the poster completely?


Because the board is spammed with alter content. Half the first page is fake Tennessee accounts spewing trash takes. There is no substance to counter.

The way to fight against bad speech is with better speech.


Better speech isn’t gonna stop the obvious vol alt assault. Crying about it makes you look alty though as a previous alt did the same exact thing, and he got banned soon after.

Everyone gets called an alt when they join.

If you want to prove them wrong, then don't get banned.


If the original is banned, it isn't actually an alter. As far as I can tell, the most notorious troll accounts on here aren't actually banned at all. This site can take steps that other message boards have taken to get rid of alters and trolls. If the motivation was actually to get rid of these accounts, you should ask them to take those steps. Obviously, you can do whatever you want to do, but you should think of what you are doing in the context of silencing speech that you don't like by making inflammatory personal attacks on the individual expressing them. If you think that is the right tactic, carry on.

Agree. Why can’t we snap when BOTH sides are ready? Why is offense the dictator of everything?

The original getting banned is what leads to creations of new alters.

Yes it is.

And you've just exposed yourself.

A true alter is a secondary account used for a different purpose than the original. People usually do it because they want their original account to not be tainted, but also want an account to relieve their impulse to shitpost, flame, troll, etc. You generally won't be able to tie it to their original account at all.

Your main account is the first one you make.

Every other account you make after that is an alt account.

Making an alt because you got banned is the worst kind of alt.

This fricking guy. Take your sub100 posts and explain how message boards work somewhere else. Go back to your Cruise Missile account. At least it didn’t come across as such a cock-gobbler.

Cock-gobbler? What a lame, childish insult. Very typical of an individual who indiscriminately throws around terms that they don't even know the meaning of.

Simple solution. When a player is injured, he has to remain out for the remainder of the possession. Period.
Regardless of whether it is offense or defense.

So now players will be scared to treat a smaller injury because they will be punished for doing so.

And even then it won't prevent it from happening. It's 4th and 1...down goes a player, out for the next play.

The purpose of creating a 2nd-44th ALT is irrelevant

Pretty sure Kirk should not be talking about ethics after he and Saban conspired against FSU. #WeRemember


Herbs is a douche, but to his credit, his voice carries. If he starts talking about it, people will listen and eventually this issue will be dealt with.

4 and 1 and they go for it and make it. The fake injury would still be on the sidelines untill the ball went over. If it is to the point of game stoppage either sit out or call a timeout. It wouldn’t take long to get this situation resolved.

Players used to get off the field when they were able. Now they it’s difficult to tell if someone is really injured or not, at least from a fan perspective.
