its the rec’d one by mr. freez……… I think, though I’m not really sure anymore either.

Yea because obviously everyone’s opinion is special enough that it deserves its own fanpost. Its difficult to actually discuss the news when there are literally 12 posts about the same subject. At most there should have been 1 initial fanpost, 1 front page story, one fanpost about the dallasbasketball story, and maybe one Stephen Jackson trade idea super thread. How could you possibly justify any more than that?

So that’s what Sam did right?

There’s no “right” or “wrong” in this discussion, he thinks there are too many fanposts on the subject so he put a fanpost up about that. Ironic or appropriate? Who cares? I’m going to follow your advice and just roll with it and respect Sam’s opinion and let it stand on its own merits.

Let me make this more simple
If you want to make a post related to GSW, go right ahead. And hopefully other people will like it, appreciate it, leave positive comments etc.

You have nothing to lose, just post it and if it does not work out moderators will remove it, or other posts will replace yours at the top, either way no big deal.

This is not true at all. We have outlined the requirements and expectations for FanPosts/ FanShots/ Comments on this site numerous times to continue to keep it a fun, safe, intelligent, and high quality space.

Think before you post.

It is a complete waste of my fellow writers and my time to have to hide: 1) redundant posts (the number that we hide daily is out of control), 2) non-family show material, or 3) poorly written junk.

We are not here to moderate a “message board”. We are to write articles and build/ have a great time out with a golden community. Please help us attain that goal. Thanks.

(Thank you Sam for trying to help keep this community golden)

I’m with you on this one, but Atma makes a good point. If woodbie posters would just scan the fanpost list and see if their topic is on par with a post already started then we’d all be better off. That said, alot of fanpost go of on tangents away from the topic… so why not start the topic up again without the random banter. As I started out saying I’m down with people posting their minds. I know I’ve had posts taken down (because they were redundant).

you should probably write two. one detailing what you just said, but in more words, then another that shows us what the new lineup would look like. a comment really doesn’t give me the full picture.

To further the political analogy, freedom of speech does not necessarily guarantee an equal platform for all.

That should be enough of an explanation for his actions ;-)

Yes, everyone that makes recommendations that would result in things working better for everyone is Big Brother. That makes a lot of sense. How about wild-eyed people not throw around extreme, emotionally charged insults at people who make constructive recommendations? I know that’s a lot to ask, to not try to manipulate people into shutting up, so you can feel better about doing whatever you feel like doing. But I think it’s only fair to just let them speak, and we let you do whatever stupid thing you choose to do. We can’t stop you.
