hooskins 10-09-2006, 03:01 PM That makes it worse if you ask me.
Newbies should take a look around, do some searching, and not just jump right in assuming we haven't already discussed something.
That's just proper message board etiquette, and that's why some forums don't allow newbies to post new topics right off the bat.
Come on Matty, this is not what I would expect from you, I know you are frustrated:frusty: with all the overflow of threads, but you are suppose to set an example for the site. :postcop:
Anyways Mikeanike, dont be scared away from this site, most of us are just a bit sad about the loss, and we are really passionnate. I think the jersey disscusion has been done, before, and if you remember we thought white and white was lucky, but we lost to seatle last year, and all preseason, and the start of this year, with the white on white. We wore burgundy at the Houston game and won, and then we wore white on white again, agaisnt JAX.
THe Lession?? The Jersey color doesn't matter, we have won and lost with both. We just have to have a better team, not a jersey.
Welcome to the site Mikeanike, and stick around, I promise we are good bunch, better than ExtremeSkins. :welcome:

Actually no, that wasn't out of frustration. Read the forum guidelines. Common sense says you don't start posting on a board without doing some reading and searching first.

I mean it's your site, run it how you want, I don't really care. But notice as soon as you called out the newb, everyone did so as well. You don't understand, but your posts validate action. I thought you were agaisnt personal attacks. Alot of people have said his posts are stupid, blah blah. It gives a great name to thewarpath.net especially when Mods are calling out new members, it's like driving them to other sites. We were all new, and I know I did the same, still do sometimes.
I know I shouldn't be one to talk about setting examples because of my little uproar last night, but I would think a Mod would not jump all over a newb, but instead tell him what to do and tell other members not to be harsh IMO.
Am I saying you are doing a bad job? Hell no, I think you put in a lot at this site matty, and your an awesome mod. Hell if I didnt think that I would not be so open to throw out suggestions. That is why I love this site, the Mods, including you run it really well.

I didn't personally attack him, please show me where I did that.
I simply pointed out that newbies shouldn't jump right in and start posting and instead need to do some research first.

I hope you get to read my edit.
hooskins 10-09-2006, 03:20 PM We've got bigger problems than what colors we're wearing. Seriously, who cares?
This is your first post Matty, you didn't even mention the rules of the site, I mean that is a response that I would give.
Yeah maybe it is not a direct attack, but come on, your a Mod. If you say that, everyone is gonna start saying stuff, and then it escalates.
And your second post you said, since that was his first post, it was even worst. Yeah that is not direct, but still is a shot at him, basically saying his a bad poster, and I don't know if a Mod is suppose to dub people good and bad.
I read it, but I still don't see where I attacked him. If you're talking about the retarded thread comment, that was a general comment and nothing that was specifically targeted towards him.

Mod or not, I'm going to say what I'm going to say. I think anyone that's been here a while knows that.
Why would it be ok for you to say the same thing? We should all try to uphold high standards around here, maybe then we wouldn't have little bitch fests like last night. ;)
As mods we walk a difficult line of being able to speak our minds but at the same time trying to maintain the boards.
Occassionally we may cross those lines a tad, but saying 'who cares' doesn't constitute a personal attack in my opinion.
Do you care what uniforms we wear??
hooskins 10-09-2006, 03:25 PM I mean, from what I saw, your posts, kinda said it is ok to jump all over this newb, and it is just gonna drive him away from the site IMO. But as I said, I am just a recent member not even a Mod, and don't take this wrong.
Like I said, I have alot of respect for you, and this is probably the best managed forum I am a part of. So don't think I have anything agaisnt you or this site. I love it.
hooskins 10-09-2006, 03:29 PM 1)Why would it be ok for you to say the same thing? We should all try to uphold high standards around here, maybe then we wouldn't have little bitch fests like last night. ;)
2)Do you care what uniforms we wear??
1) That wasn't my fault btw loll. But yeah, like I said in a previous post, I know, I really am not one to talk lol.
2)Honestly, I don't
I guess in a way, it is good, that you do not hold back what you think just because you are a mod. I mean I don't really like fake people either.
