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

Every MB has its issues. I can remember when there was a stretch on BBMB with some of the PG-13 gang just posting emoticons in a race to increase post count.

She probably just forgot she should. Yes. Also, ask her if it's "that time of the month again."

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. Bravo!!!

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Maybe these high-maintenance poster need to discover the word: The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all or nothing. Once in a great while there will certainly be a post that should be reported. Something legitimately offensive or such. The point of this post is some people are a little overeager. Just because a few people report far more then they should doesn't mean nothing should ever be reported.

It would be nice if uncivil or even truly offensive stuff only occurred every "once in a great while" here.
