LD0506 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Great post OP and I agree. Been hanging around about the same amount of time and this board has gone downhill fast. One can't type anything without fear of a MOD or pseudo-MOD jumping down your throat and banning or giving NNT. This should be a place to share information regarding the Redskins, and if a couple threads pop up with the same information, so be it. Life goes on. This place has pretty much turned into a way to communicate for 10-15 people, and if you aren't in that core group it sucks for you. Just look at how old some posts are on the first page and how many are locked. Ever think maybe 3-4 people want to have a discussion on a sub-topic regarding a certain topic and don't want it lost in some large thread they can't continually hit F5 on all day? Or maybe they want to avoid discussing a topic in front of a certain poster? Not everyone has the time to spend 9 hours a day on here and stay on top of where threads are at. Shouldn't be punished for having work or kids or other responsibilities. Wow just.............wow I am a life-support system for a mouth and you have rendered me speechless, kudos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The steam engine is going to be on full tonight during the Ravens game. If Cousins is great, or horrible, this site is going to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steam engine is going to be on full tonight during the Ravens game. If Cousins is great, or horrible, this site is going to explode. One thread will blow up.

OxonHillSkinsfan Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I agree with the original poster. I'm also drawn to my Bleacher Report app before checking back here if at all. If good posts/contributions are lost in threads, I'd recommend something along the lines of Reddit. Good responses that are positively voted on by the crowd gets boosted to the top and gain more visibility. I realize that this may not even be possible under the boards current structure, but it would be ideal. Of course, maybe the easiest solution is simply to use Reddit, but it seems like this threads about ideas for Extremeskins. So there's my 2cents.

pjfootballer Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm losing steam as a fan. I still like the site. Just losing steam being a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassSkinsFan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 But there is SO much else apart from the QB that goes into making a team. Posters like KDawg used to do great chalk talk threads on the O'Line or the 3-4 versus 4-3. I did some threads on what reading coverage really means (a road which quickly takes us back to the QB situation ...) But those threads tend not to get that much attention - partly because not everyone is really interested in the X's and O's (which is fine) but also I think because its just easier to crash into the RGIII thread and shout 'he sucks" or "its all Grudens fault" etc. These threads also intimidate some posters, which I find kind of odd. I get that if you never played the game the Xs and Os might be a bit of a mystery, but it's an internet message board and it's largely anonymous. If you are ignorant about something, who cares? Just ask and plenty of us will offer information/opinions to hopefully shed light on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBass1724 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'd argue that Extremeskins picked up steam today with a competent front office decision being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Heh, I guess no one can complain about the lack of threads today. Mind you, there's a little bit of be careful what you wish for here... but what the hey. It's a big turning point in a drama we've all been cast in.

Springfield Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Somebody should start a thread titled "Extremeskins Gaining Steam". I know I was among those that wanted more diversity. Holy hell did I get it. It's taking a little... getting used to. Now, question is, does this make moderating much more difficult? Serious question.

TheGreatBuzz Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I was surprised today by the amount of threads today and what the mods were letting go. I was expecting to open some a read a few comments before a mod closed them. Then I saw mods had posted in there! I hope it's just the mods letting people blow off steam cause when I got on at work, the front page was a train wreck. I also want to second that I hate people who read the title and post without reading the thread. I always at least read the most recent few pages, if not the whole thread, to see where it's going before posting. I wish others did that more.

Commander -JB- Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The mods here run this site like Dan Snyder runs the Redskins. With an iron fist. Micromanagement at its finest. This site is only as good as the people who log in & post. Yet, we have moderators who shoot down nearly every thread started, being overly critical, making it all about their power & less about your voice. A mega thread is ridiculous. Nobody wants to browse through 590 pages. Period. Let the people speak! Stop running this site like Snyder runs the Redskins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Yet, we have moderators who shoot down nearly every thread started Please tell me how many threads on the first page are locked? Heck, the first five pages? Choose any sample size you want. You can say the mods aren't perfect but please at least be accurate about what you are saying.

Jumbo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 What's the PC take on when someone provides their feedback on a site, and it's just moronic, and a member of that site's staff points it out? That's wrong, right? Inquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that a Redskins message board actually has moderators after how badly this franchise has sucked for the last two plus decades should tell you something. The fact that this site is actually the best fan site on the internet should also tell you something. But, that's just like, my opinion, dude.
