Clearly people can’t be left to their own devices and some form of moderation needs to occur.

Temp Bans, rules, locking threads, something.


You figure it out, but I’m out of this cluster fuck until you do something. A couple bad actors just dominated and derailed multiple threads during the most important and happy time in Tulane sports in 24 years. Think their aren’t new lurkers and fans who want to partake and don’t ?

Do something. Fuck it ban me

Thank you jts. :roll: This site was created so that no Tulane fan could be cut out of the conversation. But you don't care for the history of anything. All is to exist for your personal pleasure. :roll:

Not true. I post a lot of positive stuff about our team. When people address you you're going to respond. That's human nature. I'm not going to apologize for stating the facts of the situation. We had a good crowd. There's no need to lie about it though. Say we had a good crowd with almost every seat full and the crowd was into the game. That's a good thing. Insisting on sticking with an obvious lie and insulting me for being truthful about it is not the way to go. So don't call me out singularly. Call those out that stuck by the lie even after it was made obvious that it was a lie and started with the attacks. I'm not a mod.

Sorry to see you go, truly.

This site has NOTHING on TigerDroppings, or any of the other hundreds of forums of schools with MASSIVE fan bases, topic counts, and topic content. We unfortunately don't have those kinds of participation numbers, and silencing someone you don't agree with or care for will not bring in the masses. If we want to be like the big boys, we're going to play like the big boys.

There are ways to not see someone's posts.
There is also the option, just as in life, to not engage in the back and forth.

This is a forum. Everyone is going to have an opinion and talk. And it's totally up to you whether to engage, ignore, block, or move on.

There is another site for exactly what you want. I won't post the link here.

I do hope to have you back. Roll Wave.
Roll Wave!

It's just so unfortunate that some can't distinguish between opinion and fact. It's a level of intolerance that forces them to insult and berate anyone who challenges their vision of "reality". Just be thankful that you only have to deal with those people on a blog site and can choose to ignore or block them. Yes, it affects everyone else's enjoyment, but don't let them "win" and drive off people who are here because they care about Tulane Athletics.

Exactly how I feel. It’s fans expressing opinions. This is good. Not all have the same. That’s also good. It would make for a boring forum.

There is a clear difference between opinions and facts. We have people who just want to believe certain things no matter how reality differs and they insist that everyone has to say all is well all the time with Tulane athletics. it's not and it's ok to discuss those things honestly. All some do is come here to insult posters and berate the site while offering nothing of value to the site. Funny how some who do nothing but insult and berate complain about others doing it . If you don't want that don't start that.

Hope you change your mind. I enjoy your posts and have noticed that they have appeared with less frequency.

Called free speech, all opinions must be heard but facts must be used to counter anyone spreading misinformation. Rule must be constructive, non-personal or attacking without attacking coaches and players. Freedom of speech does not include freedom to spread lies, that must be understood.

the kickoff countdown and twitter blocks to the right side make it hard to read longer winded posts and almost impossible when you get 2 or 3 in a reply tree.

i dont even bother on mobile anymore because the ads are so intrusive i can't read shit

other than that i think this site is good thanks to all yall for being here and offering multiple viewpoints

But you are wanting some posters to be driven away. And nobody is driving you away—you are threatening to walk away if you don’t get your way. 🤪

You're right Big, I apologize. I intended to direct my comment to BiCoastal who was pleading about censoring posters and threatening to take his ball and go home--that clearly was not you.
