Now's the time of year where people get most uptight! During the offseason when the Bills find themselves without an incumbent starting QB, that's when the message boards really get feisty. Hell, I remember the JP Losman vs Kelly Holcomb summer as a particularly fun one! Drafting a QB in the 1st round was always going to get fans riled up in some way.

xxxxxxxx Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) For the record, lots of stuff doesn't get flagged on here that would get flagged elsewhere. So if sensitivity on a football message board bothers you, then I would suggest ignoring large portions of the internet.

Lfod Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) I really have enjoyed my interactions with other posters. I never hold grudges and take anything personally. I just come for the news and discourse. I think the board is well run. If situations have become problematic I didn't even notice. I probably wouldn't have a clue as to who was acting as a high maintenance poster. I enjoy the different personalities. It's like different ingredients to a full meal. The only real complaint I could make is how the political and racial climate causes a division between people. Unfortunately those real world problems exist and people will have strong feelings about them. So I'm not expecting that to go away. I just would hope that people realize that we should be able to unite under the common interest of being Bills fans and football fans in general. When it comes to that we should put those things aside and realize we all bleed Buffalo red, white and blue. I'd rather break bread and talk Bills football and leave those personal agendas out of it. Just my thoughts. Edited May 30, 2018 by Lfod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfansinceday1 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Having been a mod on another board, some folks turn talking about our Bills into a kindergarten food fight. 10% of the posters demand 90% of the attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRightRevenge Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 On 5/29/2018 at 12:09 AM, SDS said: Hey guys and gals... I just wanted to point out something obvious, but needs to be said anyway. This is a Buffalo Bills message board and though occasionally conversations get heated, for the most part, most everyone should be transparent to the moderators in day-to-day conversations. However, if you find yourself reporting posts every single day or if you have your posts reported every single day then that means you are inserting yourself into the life of the moderators on a daily basis. There is absolutely no reason in the world why this should ever happen. Interacting conflict free on a message board is a very low bar of social interaction to clear. We have had thousands of people come through here and able to navigate that successfully. Please do not be a high maintenance poster. Thanks. How does one get classified as a "moderator"?

And we know how popular those guys were. I disagree. Well, I think I disagree. ( I didn't attend a HS with "hall monitors" so not sure what they do but it sounds to me like creeps who tell kids to take their hats off and cover up their midriff tops with a sweater.) IMHO it's more like asking someone with authority to intervene when you see something that isn't right going down in your neighborhood - kids abusing an animal or another kid, people being destructive in the park at the end of the block, neighbors screaming at each other. You can try confronting the situation yourself if you're tactful and maybe it'll work. Or maybe you're not so tactful and you walk up and say "stop being a d*ckwad", someone who thrives on conflict says ""d*ckwad yourself!" and gives you a shove, and WE'RE OFF! Whereas if the park ranger or the town police drive up and say "what's happening?" the situation tends to defuse real fast. The question is can you trust the town police to say "what's happening?" and be real, and not abuse or escalate the situation. IMHO with the group of mods we have here, you have some level headed people and you can. 2 hours ago, Canadian Bills Fan said: They pay me in Canadian Dollars so it only costs them about $0.64 a year for my salary You get $0.64/yr?

It's all about trying to maintain civil discourse and in TSW, "more or less" focused on football or football-related topics.
