PACKER RATS EXCLUSIVE MAY 9TH

[RashanGary]

I personally don't see any harm in talking about a news network. It's not like we're spamming the page with 20 threads on the same topic. Nobody is posting personal info on other people.

I don't know if you've ever noticed or not but sometimes a topic kind of leads to another topic and instead of makeing a new thread everytime the subect changes people just kind of add their two cents. It's pretty standard procedure really. I think I've even seen you do it a time or two.

I seem to recall a pretty vast majorty appreciate the slightly off topic talk. Not too many people can just sit here and talk about Greg Jennings and A.J. Hawk when nothing new is going on. Is this the no fun league or what?

What was cool abotu JS before things went to crap was that threads like FYI, Nutz & Bolts and FYI could all exist on the main page where everyone hit. It was a way for little clicks to have one thread where they could find their favorite chit chat.

I don't remember it ever becoming a problem untill one jack ass got out of hand. This is nothing like the problems that happened over there. I understand you want to police this forum and make sure eveyrone is discussing topics you feel are worthy but if you ask yourself the question "Is this thread hurting the overall football quality of this board" I think you're going to answer no. So why sensor people?

[RashanGary]

If you guys want my input...I think that forums are best when left go. There is a certain amount of sensorship that needs to be in place to prevent the one or two wackos from ruining it for everyone. I think it's very easy when given authority to start crossing from gray area into dark black. You think you're just doing what's best for the forum and pretty soon your just doing whats best for you.

I mean, when you think about it...Is posting about ESPN or even Fox news hurting the ultimate content of this board? Was the topic that got pushed off really going to get read? Or are you just being a hard ass?

[No Mo Moss]

Nick I hear you, but there is a danger of the tread bein g overwelmed. I think the question at hand is whether or not the articles we post should be politically censored as well.

I would say a BIG NO on that on one.

Just because I referenced Bill O'Reilly doesn't make it a political piece however. Rush Limbaugh joined ESPN so he is fair game. If someone wants to make a strictly political piece then clearly that doesn't belong on the front page.

[MJZiggy]

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know you will ), but I believe the only thing anyone was talking about censoring was curse words in the articles that go on the front page. There is no censorship in here that I'm aware of.

[jack's smirking revenge]

Editing the content of front page articles (or articles that can be found via the core web) is all that I was referring to. The forums are a whole 'nother world and I don't think those should be restricted much.

But Mad'll make that final decision. He should chime in with his decision.

Great article...

One intemperate thought, if you are going to compare the liberal media (ESPN) to conservative media types (FOX & Limbaugh), you may want to connect the dots better. Outside of the Limbaugh drug connection (if it were a liberal no one would have made a big deal about it), there is no comparing the two when it comes to reporting truth vs inuendo and conjecture.

This is the post that sparked us straying off course.

Guess what slick, this is the Packer forum. If you want to turn a topic into a political debate go to the romper room, that is what it was set up for. This isn't JSO where everything was on one page and one room. Take a little time and surf the whole forum and you will see their are certain areas for certain talk. I ain't on here talking about the brewers. Why you ask? Because there is a room specifically set up to talk about the Brewers. We do enjoy the off topic chat, that is why we created a room specifically for that.

Before you post anything else about it being "ok" to turn threads political check out the rest of the forum. We are not censoring anything, certain threads and posts have a certain place on this forum and that is where they are moved if they don't fit the content area that they are currently in.

I understand that we are moving into a slow part of the year for Packer talk, and I hope to see an increase use of the Romper Room. So everyone that would still like to converse, but doesn't have any Packer talk can make good use of the Romper Room. ENJOY!

Truedat. Maybe we need a politico forum so all FYI'ers can get in the ring.

We have an FYI thread in the romper room...nobody's been using it.

The police the forum comment is unjustfied NC. Have any of you post been deleted? The only get moved.

The "topics you feel worthy comment" is just ignorant. Nothing that is football related gets moved.

Read your the thread you made in RR if you want my opinion about this subject.

[RashanGary]

I didn't like the whole

"move this damn thread to the romper room" comment.

I didn't think it was hurting the content of the board so I let it be known. YOu'r the board cop so of course you're goign to feel like I'm digging at you.

I think you are doing what the forum originally set out to do which is promote the romper room. I wasn't part of the discussion but I get teh sense that a bunch of peeps got together and hashed out a plan. You are following it.

I don't really agree with it, but my harsh response was more directed at the get that crap out of here sentiment than at any current policy.

HOwever, I did go the RR and let my thoughts be known....If you guys want a main page where people can only talk Packers that is up to you and your board of directors. I think that it takes away a little something from the freedom and diversity on the board.

[MadtownPacker]

PR give a damn about its members opinions and safety. Thats what PR is all about. I bet the only board that lets poster have more freedom then this one is JSO. You know how that worked out.

Here someone cant take over the name NC.

Here someone aint gonna get away with spamming up the whole first page.

Here no one can run malicious java scripts that will send you to a porn site when your at work but still allows insulting pictures to be posted.

Here the admin actually takes the time to answer stuff like this.

[RashanGary]

A-men...

And that is why it has 200 members in a couple short months and has more action than JS already. This is a good place to visit.

Mad..Don't take it as an insult..I should have added how much this place kicks ass before I started tearing the one little issue I have.

If this place never changes a bit I'll still spend all my internet/packer time here. It is the place to be.

[Scott Campbell]

Mad's doing a great job. I've got no complaints, and there has been no monkey business.

You can't please everybody Mad.

[RashanGary]

but i like OT threads damn it....
