We wanted to send a reminder out to members of the board to be more aware of what they post on people in the public eye.  This can include players, coaches, members of the media, GMs, etc.

 

While it is valid, welcome, and encouraged to constructively criticize their work, name calling and derogatory insults are starting to get out of line.

 

Whenever you post something, consider the impact it would have on that person or that person's family.   You don't appear any smarter by putting someone down to get your point across.

 

Also, if you don't think a thread has any value, making a post in it to say that the thread is dumb or shouldn't have been made is really not necessary.  If you don't like the thread, don't post, don't read it, and move on.   This kind of nonsense at best discourages people from posting, and participation, at worst it creates a negative vibe to the board.  If a thread really isn't worthwhile, it will either be deleted or it will sink to the bottom of dead threads.  You posting in it, just draws more attention to it.

 

This site has not been heavily moderated since it opened, mostly because everyone here has been really great with good football discussion, and a great attitude.  We would like to keep it that way, and ask that you help out by taking 10 seconds before you hit the Post button to re-read what you've written, and perform a little self moderation so we don't have to.

 

We thank you all for your continued contribution and support. The new season is just around the corner, and we are all looking forward to a new and better season of Blue Bomber football!

You never know.  I believe Brian Burke is still trying to sue Poonerman, Slobberface, and Sir Psycho Sexy for claiming online that he cheated on his wife with Hazel Mae from Sportsnet and got her pregnant.

 

 

Those guys deserve to be sued…if only for their choice of nicknames.

Why take the chance being sued on a board where you're supposed to come have fun & talk about football? If people take things to the limit as far as slandering others then they have no life. I say things  here & can be pretty blunt at times but I know there is a limit to what I can say about public figures.... if people go past that line then it's their fault if they wind up in court & spend their next year's salary on legal fees. 

Can we lock the thread so we can go back to bitchin' about everything football  again   :lol:

This thread is dumb.....

no YOU'RE dumb...

It's "your" dumb, Einsteen!

are we sure it's not yore?

The internetz says it's "ur"

Why not be less lazy.. You are is classy AND correct

I've split off the posts on global warming and moved it to a new topic in general.  This thread has gotten a little bit derailed.

Your - Is that your dictionary over there?

You're - You're wrong again - as in You are

Ur - for the lazy

Yore - for the middle ages (do we have people here that old?)

 

This concludes our discussion on Your, You're, Yore and Ur!

Is this thread made due to the fact that Nasty Nate is back??  Just curious
