if the Mods would drop the hammer on anyone bad mouthing recruits the culture on at least this board would change.



I think it's a really tough job being a moderator around here.

After all you want there to be informed discussion on tigerdroppings most of all. The problem with a lot of (most probably) posts is that people put so little thought into them before posting. The posts I probably got teh most tired of were ones along the line of "why bother bringing in this player, the coaches won't know how to use him"

I mean seriously - come on. I think we're all wanting a ton of improvement on offense this year... but bad-mouthing the coaches and assuming failure is just not the way to go

There's really not a black and white line where a poster crosses over from being reasonable and upset to being an irrational little girl either... kind of hard to come down hard on people immediately unless they are wishing harm on a player, his family, or calling him a retard I think

Ranting and bitching is not productive at all on this board. There is a board for that type of posting. However, I would hope a post such as this, for example, would be deemed appropriate:

quote:

I was not impressed by this guy at all. He appeared slow to me and made poor decisions. His footwork needs to be improved if he is going to be a factor. I'm not sure about this one at this time. There are other guys still out there.


On the other hand, a post like the following is wholly unacceptable:

quote:

Chalk this one up as another one of Les' idiot moves. He is slowly taking our program down with him. Crowton could not coach this guy up to save his life. Has he ever coached up a QB? Saban is signing 5-stars, and here we are signing guys with offers from Memphis and UConn. The sooner they all fail, the better.


Sadly, posts like the one above multiply here like maggots at certain times; usually whenever bama signs a 5-star, we lose a game, a certain player has a bad game, we lose a recruit, or we sign someone who is a 3-star. They demean the entire board.

However, I do not want the board to be a place where we cannot constructively criticize recruits or our process. There is a difference between criticism and bashing and some people cannot see that difference.
