More proof that recruits actually do read this board. Sorry if Germans.

Maybe not all recruits, but I would say that a good majority of in-state kids do. Better reason to watch who we belittle on here.

quote:Yeah, I noticed that. I just hadn't seen it posted anywhere and I think it's time for us to realize that this is really being read by recruits. We should choose our words carefully before addressing potential recruits on here. I'm not saying that it would sway any recruit away, but if it's not for the greater good of LSU recruiting then it shouldn't be posted. Fwiw, I'm guilty of this in the past, but I don't want to put a single bad thought into a potential recruits head about our program, fan base or even this site.

Most of it is from other fan bases pretending to be LSU fans. 29 posts from the offender. It could even be from a rival highschool punk!

How sad would it be if this board and some of the retarded posters has in some way steered a player away from LSU. I know that seems silly but we don't know the affect some of the dumb post have on these kids. We all love LSU and want nothing but the best for them but its possible this board could have kept us from getting a recruit or two.

quote:Agreed. And I have been giving this some thought. We might have lossed one or two because of it, but we'll never know unless a recruit actually says it. If it has happened before, it's a damn shame. However, I do have faith our fans that if they knew that they were potentially harming the school that we love, it would be a wake up call.

It's pretty bad that we have to govern ourselves here. We need a RB admin, fa'reah

quote:You're right. The guy was shutdown, but there are plenty of other instances where we do comparisons between recruits. I think those can be harmful, especially if it's two in-state kids. There's a far slimmer chance that an out of state kid would know of this site. Just something for us all to think about. I don't think that the vast majority of recruits would be influenced in any way by anything said on a website, but there's still that small chance that it could happen and may have already happened. We just don't know.

I tried to tell you 'tards this a very long time ago..but to no avail...other SEC schools have trolls come on here and plant poison seeds to hurt our recruiting...I begged the site management to help out with this problem...but sometimes they're as bad as the 'tards about being a know-it-all!

See such threads started all the time. The "is X better than Y" or "who would you rather have..." threads.
Which can be legitimate questions, but the follow up posts can be quite harmful.

They also realize this is a small sample size of this particular fan base on this particular board which supports this particular university. They know to take things with a grain of salt, good or bad. 93k in the stadium on sat. Nite trumps a handful of morons on the internet.

While I'm sure it's happened before, it's probably only happened a tiny fraction of the amount of times you're making it seem. Every time a thread like this is made, minutes someone makes a post like yours. I'm not trying to bash you, but some of us need to realize that we undoubtedly have super ducking retarded fans who genuinely come here and bash on recruits because "hey man they're just calling it like they see it." It happens and it won't stop happening ever. The only thing we can do is try and limit it by calling the poster out and hopefully having a mod ban people for bashing recruits.but the idea that every time a poster say something negative that it's a fan of another team undercover is retarded.

Sat next to two guys from Parkway attending the UL game last weekend and they said they do read the board despite what the coaches tell them not to.
