The serious board should be SEC ONLY. Clear out the trolls from non-SEC teams.

This board is all about the clicks and the cash. Management does not care about civility or quality content. Need to accept that.

You'd have to pay for moderators on that board.

I think in many ways it would self moderate.
But your point is a good one,

Its not about having thin skin, it's about actually wanting to talk sports.

We don't all have to jerk each other off like they do on the Reddit football page, but a little balance could really improve this board.

First of all ... ewww.
She frightens me.

Secondly: You don’t think the chaps posting on the new sports board would either ignore the trolling dorks and/or direct them to the “other” board (tSECr)?
I do.
You’re not giving most of the adults here enough credit.

Or maybe I’m giving my intelligent friends here too much credit?
Though I don’t think that’s the case.

I’m going to go make a brunch cocktail now.
All y’all gave a great Sunday!
God bless.

I think plenty of folks on here have thick skin (not all, granted) but there are just SO many trolls and alters on here now that you have to wade through pages and pages of utter bullshite just to find a handful decent responses. It’s totally out of hand.

SEC Thunderdome!

If this is the name of the non-sissy board I love this idea

They used to open the Thunderdome board when two posters had a disagreement and wanted to go at it. They haven't done it in over 10 years.

Or you could just grow thicker skin and ignore the troll posts, threads, and posters.

That would pretty much involve ignoring this board altogether...

... that would be a venue for discussing SEC sports, but without the nastiness from some posters?


I think that kinda ignores the origins of this website.

SECRant.com exists because Alabama hired Saban, and a ton of Alabama shitposters flooded tigerdroppings.

Shitposting is this forum's origin story. I choose to embrace it.

You’d still have this forum.
Just add another one?

They would but they would have to have Mods stay on top of it 24/7 and I don't know if they have people with that much time to handle it.

They could do it and only let in people with a proven record on Rant of good posting with strict rules. They would have to let some arguing or no one could talk sports.

Just boycott the SEC Rant like A&N fans did before.

There’s a difference between talking sports—with some arguing—and what this board has become: Filth.

I’m not suggesting anyone agree with me, just throwing the idea out there.
