Combating the growing trend of butthurt Rant mods sending A&M threads here

As most of you have noted, there is a growing trend on tRant where any A&M subject started by one of us gets bumped to this forum. Some examples include:

"Texas A&M dominating Top 25 rankings"

and

"No A&M, No SEC Network"


Let us all learn from this trend and change our approach. The Rant psychological phenomenon deserves its own subset classification, similar to Stockholm Syndrome. Talking up A&M is not tRant material because everyone on tRant suffers from tRant Syndrome. See, you have to troll the shite out of another fan base whilst talking up A&M or threads end up here.

tRantards are not interested in friendly discussion about A&M unless you call them out. For example, the thread "Texas A&M dominating Top 25 rankings" was a good thread, but would likely have stayed on tRant had it began like this:

frickLSU®








No, I am joking. frickLSU® comes later, but is an indispensable requisite.

Start the thread something like this:

"In which sports is your school ranked in the top 25?"

Then post A&M's massively dominant resume like:

1. Men's track
2. etc.
blah blah blah

Followed by:

frickLSU®



Done that way, the thread stays on tRant and you get a bunch of shite talking and trolling, thereby satisfying the needs of those suffering from tRant Syndrome.


I hope this thread is a helpful guide in our efforts to turn the tide on this growing tRant trend.

Happy ranting and, as always, frickLSU®!

You are 100% right

Or

Why don't all SEC teams have more sports ranked in the top 25?

Or instead of "no A&M there is no SEC network"


Go with

Great article on the creation and value of the SEC network

Yes. Exactly. Thank you,


Take the focus off of how great A&M is, and zero in on things like this:

Ha ha, y'all fricking suck at everything and life. Go suck-start a shotgun, bitches.

I guess a more concise way to put is -- gentle self-fellatio ends up here.

It's pretty simple. If we can't start threads about A&M we will just start threads about other schools. I'm sure everyone will love that

We could have started

"Without Mizzou's tv footprint there would be no sec network"

And the first post can be "and A&M helped too"

And it never gets moved



But if the thread title is all A&M what's a mod supposed to do when 6 LSU fans RA it?
He's got to move it

Look, Ice and the other mod made it clear

1. We leave them no option when someone RA's one of our threads and the thread title and OP are all A&M

2. We can't blame anyone but ourselves for unequal moderation if we don't RA the bad posts/threads from LSU/sip trolls that are truly inflammatory

Be as subtle as possible. It won't be missed.

By "be as subtle as possible" you mean be subtle in the way we prop up A&M, not in bashing others? Or do you mean, be subtle in trolling?

I think it depends. Example:

"Kyler opts out of MLB draft"

Could be an obvious troll:

"How many more years is LSU going to gargle creamy yak semen at the QB position."

Or subtlty:

"How many QBs are on your roster?"

Both leading to a discussion about A&Ms embarrassment of riches.

The problem is that even though they holler out "Suck that Tiger dick, bitch" they are really just down home country folk that need to be properly courted before you even think of a little back door action.

You must wine and dine your desired partner. Make them feel special. Give before you get. You just can't jam cock in arse and then be surprised when there is pushback. The polite and courteous will get the desired reaction more often than not. Also, don't forget the lube.

Only then can you demand

Sarge, you like my new avatar of Kyler playing with his dolls?

You inspired me on this one.

Is there a way to track who is doing the down voting?


I would LOVE to know who it is. Obsessed and Butthurt at the same time.
