What Do You Want?

[JDPNYY]

I wasn't minimizing yours, but rather giving my own. I do agree with your point as I know excessive negativity and negative predictions are not allowed. I must be pretty powerful if saying that could minimize anything.

I made a point that there was excessive negativity in today's GT and you quoted me and dismissed my point saying you could understand there being excessive negativity today. Thanks for the assist.

My apologies. I didn't realize me offering my opinion impacted yours in the slightest. I will refrain from quoting you in the future. I ask you do likewise. Thank you.

A multi-quote function is useless to me, it takes two seconds to just cut and paste to make it yourself

Not if you want to quote more than 2 posts. It's much easier to have a button to click and they all go in one post. A lot easier than cutting and pasting and having multiple windows open.

[Tifoso]

You could take a look at today's Game Thread... where 20 people have declared the game over in the 6th inning.

Apparently negative predictions are ok.

They are not, and I addressed that

Much appreciated Lou.

I appreciate you bringing it up, John. Sometimes we miss them.

Is there any chance that you can assign sort of a temporary mod to the game threads for each game?

Maybe that would help the mods out a little.

That would be cool, but 9 out of 10 times the temporary mods would probably "accidentally" delete bobby_jr's account while on duty with their special powers

Maybe this site needs a community leader program like AOL used to have.

No negative predictions? Does someone fear the written words will enter the minds of the Yankee players and cause them to give up? Not quite sure why saying the game was over would not be allowed.

Just because they say something doesn't make it so.

I suggest that all posts with double entendre be immediately deleted.

Read the Game Thread rules.

Those are the rules. Period.

I frankly get tired of the negativity in GT's. It isn't what this place is about.

You don't like the rules, you don't have to stay

[Hellsing]

Read the Game Thread rules.

I read the rules, I just find the decision to consider them a bannable offense rather odd.

Some of the rules seem to make sense, but if Ramiro Pena steps up to bat with 2 out and someone writes, "Easy out. He's gonna K", that deserves a warning/ban? You don't think that's a little harsh?

Game threads move so fast why anyone would get in a tizzy over someone making a post that will invariably fade into the ether within 30 seconds is comical to me.

It also conflicts with another GT rule...

Finally, it is important that all GTers respect the opinion of other GTs even if they disagree with it. Again, this comes straight from the CS, linked below.

Ah...So it's your rule. Got it, Amico Mio.

It's simply someone's opinion, but it is what it is.

Good thing moderators are level headed!

[Tifoso]

Ah...So it's your rule. Got it, Amico Mio.

It's simply my opinion.

Oh yeah...I forgot, you can get banned if your opinion doesn't coincide with a moderators. Good thing they are level headed!

It's not my rule. It's the forum rule Amico mio.

Re: the banning thing--wrong. Amico mio.

Yes, we are

Not a conflict at all

Pena's up. Not real confident here. Man, I really wish we were somewhere else in the order. OK.

Pena. Crap. He sucks. Automatic out. DFA him. Joe is a moron for even having him in the lineup. Not OK.

Pretty simple, really

These type of discussions bore the hell out of me, TBH. The rules, such as they are, have served NYYFans for over 10 years. No reason to change them, really.

It's why rude posters (NB: not saying you are) grate almost instantly here. They just stand out like a sore thumb, TBH.

[delv]

the avatars could use updating...

[delv]

more threads visible per page

delv, you aren't allowed to place requests until you get rid of that obnoxious sig.

Agreed Lou and thanks. No one wants to read a b*tchfest. I can understand someone feeling a bit negative (I do) but some of the negativity (mainly in other forums) is what has kept me out of the ITL and the GT.

don't be so negative, we really need to explore getting paid for every post we make

fyi, your sig carries scroll bars, too, on my 1680x1050 screen.

[NerfBall55]

As a no0b, I realize I carry no weight, but allowing pics in the video game thread would be cool. Visuals are a big part of the topic, so being able to represent them graphically would be a nice addition.

I'm with Dragoon on the Gardner signature too - nothing personal, delv.

It absolutely carries weight

1024x768 and nothing. Maybe you have weird browser settings.

Regardless, yours scrolls for everyone.

[BonusCantos]

Part of the reason I signed up for the board lo those many years ago was so I could shut signatures off, which I did. I don't regret it.

The birthdays coming back on the main page would be a nice addition. Of course, the search function also sucks and I liked seeing how many people were viewing a thread, and I liked being able to set it to 100 posts per page, but I'll keep it to one thing.

Edit: In fact, now that I think about it, I think the 100 posts per page setting is what I miss most.

Sorry--that's how I keep track....it means I've added suggestions up to this point

Some updated avatars would be nice. I can choose from Nady, Sojo, Kevin Brown, Tom Gordon, Felix Heredia, Aaron Small, Shaun Chacon, Tony Womack, and Carl Pavano - but not Pettitte?!?

Thank you for pointing this out. I forgot about that option. I just shut signatures off myself, to get rid of the scrolling sigs. Even Lou's was scrolling on my computer at my regular resolution of 1680x1050.

Site management, and leadership?

Thanks, Boz. This is the elephant in the room.

I am in the process of changing it (with help)

It's rather puzzling.

Hey, pointing out elephants in the room is something I can do. Glad to help.

I personally would love it if trolls were actually dealt with instead of allowed to roam free.

[Tifoso]

The problem with this is--are they trolls, or just negative (they ought to be fricking ashamed of theirselves--see Cubs,Chicago) Yanks fans?

See also, GT, NYYFans--any thread the Yanks are behind by 1 run.

The obvious examples are dealt with quickly. The Yanks fans negatives are a teaching opportunity
