That's true.... when it's Hap, Howie, or ABM (and often enough it is) there doesn't seem to be an issue. I wonder what the difference could be...

I think a rule against opening new threads is a terrible idea. While many of Speed's threads from tonight are redundant and almost useless, there's an easy answer: don't post in them. The ones that no one cares about will sink to the bottom.

Putting in some arbitrary limit on the number of threads in an hour, day or whatever will do nothing except stifle people's willingness to contribute to the board, IMO.

I understand your point Ed, and agree with you to some extent.

But I just got home from the game here about 9:30 tonight and I find that Speed has 20 (Twenty!!) threads that he has started.

That is freakin' ridiculous. Okay, don't limit the number of threads you can open. But one of the mods here needs to step up and handle the "Speed Situation", pronto.

It's utterly ridiculous that someone wants that much attention, IMO.

Samuel

that's why we have mods. Can't mods eliminate these threads, or consolidate them into one?

One thing that moderators can do is merge threads together. So for example, one of Speeds threads (along with the posts that are in it) could be moved into the game thread. It's really a useful tool that moderators can use to combine threads that have the same topic.

Ive noticed that our mod situation is a little fishy. I don't have any complaints, I just noticed it now. With Speeds over zealous posting (not that it bothered me), I got thinking.


1. Schilly can't access the web during the weekend.
2. ABM and GymRat are on the east coast, (as is Speed tho) so late night modding is more of a problem.
3. Has anyone seen RG lately? Or have i just gone blind?
4. I think it might be good to have someone as a mod who's a 'west coaster' who wastes their nights online.
5. I think it should be someone who's not me. (You know, conflicting interests in a way)

Hey, it looks like the Iraqi Information Minister has addressed this topic in a speech:

Merge or Delete the threads. Its that easy.

Looked to me like Damon, Sheed, Ruben and Davis cared quite a bit tonight.

I don't think you're gonna get many disagreements here. He's never been one to work out at all in the off season and rumor has it he always does the bare minimum (the team sets minimums for things) amount of weight training and conditioning.

He doesn't float to the parimeter. It's part of the game plan. He's got a very nice outside shot. It's yet another offensive weapon for the team to use. I thought he did a fine job of mixing up his inside and outside game tonight. He was 8 of 14 and 3 of 5 from outside the arc.

Now on the topic at hand: I have neither the time nor the motivation to make sure that something hasn't been talked about before so that the likes of you don't have to deal with the minor annoyance of scrolling past my post or not looking at my new thread. If I feel that something hasn't been covered yet I will start a thread about it. If I have a reaction to someone else's post I am going to respond to their post.

I'll throw in my .00002 here. I agree with Ed. I absolutely hate the idea of limiting people's ability to meaningfully contribute. I also hate the idea of limiting talk about a particular game to one thread. I've found when we do that we've got 50 different conversations happening within the same thread, thereby making it nearly impossible to follow.

IMO, game threads should be for general feedback about the game but if someone wants to start a new, meaningful thread about a particular aspect of the game (ie sheed's postgame interview) it should be allowed and encouraged.

Terrible

Speed you also said the Lakers wouldn't make the playoffs and not only did they leap frog the Blazers to get there, they are tied with the Wolves in the first round.

Know the difference between luck and skill, Speed!

BlayZa

ah give him a break yall , he posts about the blazers and is at least keeping it positive while most of yall are raggin on them hardout and he hardly posts any off topic crap at all . I dont have a problem with it myself, if the title isnt to my liking i aint clicking it.I swear its like a gang of old women in here sometimes, grumbling and banging knitting needles together.

All these threads by speed are getting extreamly annoying I must say...

99% of his threads are completly pointless and a waste of time.

He's hardly talking about basketball, he's mostly Slamming those that don't agree with him.

I support the idea of maybe making a limit on the number of threads you can start in one day. Maybe make it 15 per day per forum... So, for example, you get 15 on the Blazer board, 15 on the Cavs forum, etc...

If not that, just delete all these posts by speed. Only you can prevent trolling.
