I am thinking if Ameer Abdullah had gotten a tattoo of the Lions logo, everyone would be saying "that's really cool".

But he would never be so stupid as to do that, and that's why he will have a longer and more successful career than RG.

 

So if a guy is into tattoos and get's a tattoo for his new team, he's being stupid? I'm not a tattoo guy at all, but this criticism of RG is getting pretty crazy.

 

I think it's a bit shortsighted and presumptuous to go out and get a massive Cowboy tat on your arm the day after your're drafted, yeah. Why not prove yourself a bit, get accepted in the lockerroom, play a game or 2, you know, like that. Show a little class. Then, if you must, get the tat, but still, maybe something a bit more undertstated. Only in sports and pop/rock/gangsta culture can anybody get away with these ridiculous tats. What if he ever has to become part of the real world?

 

That line of thinking is wrong...

I'd say the line work is kind of meh...figured if he was gonna be stupid about it, he might as well dish out the money and get quality work.

What a dumb f#*k

 

Seriously, enough of the puns! I need my concentration. Camp you see that?!

Jew took it too far.

 

I know, I know...it just isn't Reich.

Nazi jokes, stay classy.

Kind of out of mein kampfort zone

I can post a link to this

 

 

 

I can't blame him for leaving. He was considered one of the top recruiters in the B1G and had experience as a DC and he was going to make less money per year than everyone else other than Bray.

 

I would have left too.

He is taking the same position at UNC. So it was the pay?

 

I have said this before, resources are not the question here at Nebraska.

He also killed my father...and raped my mother!

Dude rape jokes are bad taste

 

The previous staff raped us for the past seven years, I thought it'd be ok

I find it entertaining that others would quit coming to the board just because someone else was being stupid enough to warrant a perma-ban. That's like being on a football team and quitting just because your best friend was benched. To me, I keep on playing...I don't give up because someone was benched.

I can't speak for anyone else, but to me the draw to this forum has always been the people - the characters. Some of the more entertaining characters are now gone. So the board is and will be less fun. Fun is the name of the game on internet message boards imo.

 

Hard to tell just how warranted these bans were since this alleged rash of misconduct and cyber-bullying occured via PM. You may have reasons to give the benefit of the doubt. Others may have reasons not to.

 

Sure, I'm totally with you....it's great to have fun people on the board..but to quit over them leaving/being banned or throw a hissy fit because they did/are? Seriously? I mean, for me, this is small potatoes...I have my wife and family and that's all I need. I don't need to have pals on an internet forum to make things ok in my world. I don't need the presence of someone else to justify me being here.

 

The bans were warranted because people were warned and didn't back off of what they were warned about. That's purely stupid in my opinion. Why? Because I was warned twice and I backed off. Those people who didn't are dumber than me...according to most people here, that's pretty dumb.

What?

What?

Huskerboard is bigger than just a few people and I find it amusing that those of you coming here to tell everyone how you won't be on much anymore (or are quitting) see it the exact opposite. I advise those people to take a step back and look at the big picture and realize that Huskerboard isn't NUPolo et. al., it's all of us.

 

Will you lack the opinions of people who were banned in the future? Sure. If you can't live another day on Huskerboard without those opinions standing beside you so you can hug them and stroke them then by all means, please, leave. I for one, will continue to come here to talk Husker football with people who have great insight, opinions, and posts and I won't miss anyone that was banned at all...Huskerboard will continue on and still have excellent content and still provide the best free place on the web for Husker fans. Thanks to the admins/mods for your work and providing a great place for us to talk shop about our passion...Husker Football/sports...because talking about banned members and perceived injustices is definitely not my passion.

If talking about banned posters isn't your passion, why do you continue to post about it? Just shut up and post in the football forum and you wouldn't have to read another word about it.

 

 

I'm not starting new threads for it am I? I'm still participating in Husker sports talk right? I doubt very much that 2 posts giving my opinion in a thread constitutes passion about it. But it sure is a nice straw man to construct to distract from the topic of the thread.

 

That's not what I would consider a sham argument that was set up to be defeated.

 

 

 

You built up something that we weren't talking about to be the issue. Straw man arguments are where you construct something else that isn't part of the topic to be attacked. In this instance, you built me up to be attacked by inferring I'm hypocritical which isn't the topic of conversation here.

 

I did none of those things

It's not so much as to "who" is gone, but rather the way it was handled. I still don't think they've recieved answers/replies to attempted communication to the admins/mods, everything is being deferred to Eric, and he isn't responding.

 

 

I think it is about who was gone...if I were banned and it was handled the same way, I highly doubt anyone would be upset at all with either how it was handled or the fact that I was banned. For the people getting upset and leaving because their pals were banned....I don't quit the team because of the way my friend was benched.

 

I don't know much about how the admin stuff works here but I've been an admin of a board with over 75 thousand active users and I've had to ban people as well...the people I banned know what they were banned for because I had a 3 strikes policy where you were issued 2 warnings for each violation. I see we have that here too. The people who were banned: They know why or have a good idea why. You're not banned for something new...it's something you were warned at least 2 times before with. They must have short memories if they are claiming not to know.

 

The only reason it's about who, honestly, is because of the quality of the poster. They were good posters who brought a lot of discussion (good and otherwise) and nice input to this forum. They weren't necessarily pals/buddies/chums with everyone that is upset.

Been thinking about it for awhile now, I use that name everywhere else but here.

Are you going to leave your sig pic unchanged for a while to clue in everyone? Just wondering; seems like it might help.

 

Yes, I'm leaving it for awhile

 

panties, meet wad. wad, meet panties....!!!!

I know...its always "let it go" with you when it turns on ya... say hello to the panties for me...K!

This is an excellent example of how not to converse on Huskerboard. Next warning is a suspension, and third will be a ban. Thanks.

 

Would it had been better if he just simply said "don't get your panties in a bunch"?

 

As an atheist, all this talk of Jesus offends me

 

I will pray for you.

 

I'm good, kimosabe.

Damn it, I have to switch to full site and hand out plus ones

 

 

 

• So you're banning people based on Private Messages? I'd recommend changing the name of them. That whole 'private' thing could throw people.
• It's extremely hard to take a post seriously when it's signed with your handle.

P.S. Pretty disappointed with a lot of good posters being banned at once. I will probably be spending a lot less time on the boards.

 

Oh No! The Clemson fan won't be frequenting our favorite Husker message board anymore....

 

 

The dude had talent. I mean, you don't get to be starting QB in the NFL by chance. You don't have to be the next Joe Montana to be a great college quarterback

But you have to be a great college quarterback...which he was not

Been thinking about it for awhile now, I use that name everywhere else but here.

Why isn't this guy coaching somewhere?

 

Even at Hastings or NIU? He has credentials

Because of his plaid skinny jeans

I just think someone got majorly butthurt and didn't apply the cooling cream. But what do I know

 

It's about cyber bullying! It isn't about bullying (according to zoogs), wait yes it is! Who the hell knows? Only Eric.

Okay, I'll clarify this again so people don't get confused.

 

1. The first three bans were not.

 

Ref: "This particular incident occurred from a PM conversation between three members and an Administrator." The administrator attempted to bring these members in line with the conduct we expect people to have here. This kind of talk doesn't happen unless they feel it's, unfortunately, necessary. Their response to this attempt led to the admins concluding bans were necessary. This is a pretty standard way for a ban to go down: mod/admin talks to member. Member doesn't have any of it.

 

2. (Some) of the other bans were.

 

Ref: "It subsequently was broadened as a result of a member sending us quoted comments another member sent them via PM. To verify the authenticity of the claim, we had to verify with our own eyes to ensure there was no fabrication. We determined these were slanderous & offensive comments that had to be addressed."

 

So some of the other bans were handed out for being offensive...in a PM?
