That’s not accurate or fair. It is moderated as a family friendly board. Imagine your 10yr old reading it.

With that said, I think I’m still a moderator there but I haven’t logged on in a very long time, and banned 1 person ever. I much prefer this board. Different strokes for different folks.

Who is the imperial liberal ruler on there who bans posters? Is it Andrus?


Any moderator can ban someone but it is reviewed by everyone. There is usually a debate as to why the person was banned and the banning either stands or is overturned.

Andrus is pretty hands off unless it’s something egregious. He rarely bans anyone and only occasionally chimes in. He’s a good dude. There are a lot of good dudes over there. This is just a better board for what I’m looking for. Oh, and I can tell someone to frick off in an impolite manner here, that too.

I doubt this is true. I’m pretty confident most news I post on here is coming just as early. I pretty much post stuff the minute it breaks unless I’m tied up at work. Everything now can be found by following the right people on twitter with notifications on. I generally try to get it here as quickly as possible for the people who don’t use twitter.

A lot of other good posters on here who provide articles as well.




The training camp threads on SR show why it's the superior forum. Pages upon pages of live camp updates with a new thread daily.

You're lucky to hear a peep from training camp on this board.

Superior? Nah man. For training camp and insider news (although the real insiders have all but gone dormant), sure, but superior nah. This has a better layout and the rules are far more lax, which I enjoy.

Nope. They'll never be superior as long as libtards run it. TD is superior in every way.

I agree on the layout. As far as rules, I haven't ran into any problems and I've been there many years. I guess my posts are pretty tame.

Holy shite. I just checked it out for the first time in about a decade and you guys are right about all of the ads. I used to live on that site while rarely posting, very similar to how I am here now and it was much different.

Didn’t they pride themselves on having no advertisements on the site? I actually contributed 10 or $15 a month out of appreciation for the work they did over there to help with that. Then I got warned for something stupid, canceled my monthly contribution, and never went back. I guess that’s why they have so many ads now.

It’s just moderated differently. This place is the neighborhood bar. That place is Sunday dinner with grandma. I prefer this place and I really don’t like being a moderator so I don’t frequent it.

The one guy I banned was a complete douche canoe and wholeheartedly deserved it. Usually I would just edit a post to make it more friendly and send out a PM, not an infraction. This guy started bellowing about me editing his free speech or something bullshite and after eleventy billion rounds of nonsense, I banned him.

insider news

you mean the guy that went to the gym with random players and acted like he was allegedly "friends" with them?

the only and last "insider news" was someone broke the Mike McKenzie trade back in 2004. today, twitter ensures everyone gets news as soon as it happens.

Nah man, SR used to have legit insiders. Remember, as a mod I could see IP addresses, etc. and we vetted a few.

They had legit insiders. The board was also closely monitored by the organization. I know this for a fact. About that time, some of those insiders STFU lol.

That was me, lol. I knew one of the agents and a buddy of mine worked for the saints at the time.

Yea its bad. There was a thread during the pandemic were a moderator unironically compared drunk driving to being unvaccinated. It's too far gone.

That’s ridiculous. If the vaccines work, you don’t need me to take one too. And I took the damn thing. It’s your choice as to whether you want to take it or not.

BS. If you are critical of a saints player, you get warned. Next time banned. I got banned for arguing with a moderator on shitty signings we made. Got the old, they are saints now and we have to give them support in case they or family members are reading. I mean, Jesus Christ, they are adult professionals making millions.

Bunch of true left wing nuts that stamp out dissenting opinions or anything they deem negative.

Exactly like todays MSM…

That’s every message board, homie. If that worries you, don’t visit any message boards. You can see registered users and visitors.

You can be critical, but you can’t say things like, “Jameis sucks”. You can say, Jameis can’t read defenses well or Jameis does a poor job escaping the pocket.

That was the way we were told to moderate, particularly since the team monitored the board A LOT.

I’m not saying I agreed with the policy or not, but I saw the reasons why. I prefer this board for a multitude of reasons, but I’m not gonna shite on them about it either.

It wasn't just about the Saints. There's some legit retarded mods there. I had a poster want to literally fight me over a BS post I made that had zero to do with him. He just disagreed. I made it a point to piss that moron off. Mike something. POS. He never got banned but I did. If you don't agree with the majority on every topic, you are casted out. SharonT is the biggest count there is. Dan in Lafayette is equally as bad. When they got TDS, after Hitlery lost, they lost their collective minds. Place is a shite hole like NOLA.

Meh. I trust the folks here because they’re proved they are the true sense of moderate—they let both sides fight it out and don’t step in unless it’s actually over the line. These are the type of people who would never dox someone purposefully

Andrus wouldn’t dox someone and he’s a moderate. The majority of the mods are moderates, with some far left and far right guys on the fringes. I’m slightly right of center. I would bet most on there are slightly left of center or slightly right of center. It’s the squeaky wheels that get noticed.

Edit: and the mods that are vets (there are a few) would never vote for Hillary.
