One thing that makes Huskerboard better than many of the other boards I have frequented in my time is one thing: moderation. We have moderators who do a very good job making sure the board maintains integrity and has fruitful conversation (outside of the woodshed, of course).
Honestly, bickering and letting things get a little out of hand can be fun at times, but not in the football forum. Even if the woodshed doesn't get a lot of traffic, I believe it's important to keep the football forum (clearly the most important and populated forum on this board) free of trolling and free of bad traffic. It leaves the wrong impression of a visitor if people are getting away with some things.
