Cracking Down on this Forum

iv'e made less than 50 posts, and have already blocked 4 huddlers. i checked the huddle on my lunch break at work, and realized that my phone app doesn't block people that iv'e blocked from my laptop, and the huddlers iv'e blocked were still quoting and berating me, even after i told them they were blocked. 

 

yesterday in particular, i was quoted and berated constantly, and even a poster in this topic "I Mean He Was Found Guilty. " chimed in, quoting me and telling the other huddlers trolling me (that i had already blocked), that i was "obviously the same damn person" as someone he claims had an "abandoned account"....i know none of those people, and i had absolutely no clue as to what they were referring to, or why in GOD's name they would single me out and insult me to such an extent and in the disgustingly childish manner that they did it. it was truly pathetic, and they even goated me to bite back, though i tried my best to stay on topic. it was very clear their intent had nothing to do with the topic but only with insulting a "NEWB".

 

with huddlers like "I Mean He Was Found Guilty. ", "Shula", and "heel31ok" trolling NEWBs, i can imagine that many new huddlers with interesting views are run off to find other forums to post on, or just simply continue to lurk so that they don't have to deal with the kind of immature BS that i/others have to endure for having an opinion or simply just wanting to express our love for the Panthers.

 

why would you block the fourth-best poster on this forum?

We can still call out bad thread starters though,  right?   Otherwise,  how will they know it's a bad thread and that they should feel ashamed?

 

 

If I started a bad thread, I would want you fine folks telling me it was a bad thread,  in as many unique and funny ways as possible.   Otherwise, I would not learn.

 

agree. being allowed to make fun of oatmeal-brained posts is a self-correcting mechanism that discourages shitposting and encourages good posting through positive reinforcement.

 

not that i'm calling anyone an oatmeal brain, of course

I understand your concerns. To me, the grammar Nazi's are just an annoyance. Kinda like having to spend a Friday night at the in-laws. I know it is going to be...trying. But I have to do it. If the wife ain't happy, ain't no one happy.

I would like to say this. If folks took a few moments to proofread there posts. It would go a long way towards ending those annoying grammar police posts.

I know...phones, fat fingers, auto-correct are all legitimate excuses. But, taking a few seconds to reread a post could help alleviate the problem.

Ok, end of rant.

Agreed, and you are right. If a few moments are taken to proof read post, it may help to hold off grammar police. However, if ones point has been made and understood, the other (grammar police) could simply ignore their opportunity to increase their post count with an annoying grammar correction. In addition, proof reading isn't fullproof, everyone makes mistakes.
