all of the Rant posters who bash our players' decisions to leave? That Board in itself really hurts our recruiting with all the negativity

I guess it's been taken care of. I'm not sure what thread(s) the OP was speaking of.

TF, I'd like some guidance, please.

I am always reluctant to RA a poster because I feel like the admins get irritated when posters do that too much.

This is especially true when I want to RA someone for going overboard, IMO, for criticizing LSU players and coaches. The only time I RA someone for doing that is when it is really egregious and personal, such as wishing a player gets hurt or for a coach to be fired.

But someone saying a certain player is overrated, is not smart, doesn't know what he's doing, good riddance if he leaves, etc., is that RA'able?

It would be helpful if you could give some simple examples of the type of criticism the admins want to know about via a RA.

Thank you.

I think its worse that Santa Claus has now taken his troll profession on to the Rant.

Example

Normally I would have deleted this kind of stupidity, but I wanted to give you an example.


Some users go too far with Ra-ing. Use your best judgement. The things we don't like is people who RA every post that disagrees with their opinion. Or the Cat fights on the OT where the RA each other 37 times in the GM thread.

I'm safe there. I don't think I've ever RA'd a post just because it disagreed with me. If I started doing that, I'd be RA'ing almost every reply to me.

Several years ago, I did get a PM once from an admin telling me to cool it with the RA'ing. Of course, I was RA'ing an admin for being a complete jerkwad on the Money Talk Board so maybe he didn't appreciate my attention to him.

Here are examples of posts that I've thought about RA'ing. Would I be wrong to do so? LINK LINK

Pretty obvious who these two are


I think the only times I RA is to sticky a thread. Sometimes if a thread is really shitty, I'll RA for the anchor, but I don't even know if it ever works.

I don't see anything wrong with either of those links. Those are pretty tame opinions.
