New years resolution: Do not feed the troll


Jmac

Recommended Posts

This forum used to be a place of good conversation and lively debate. A certain individual (or individuals), have decided to turn it into a crapfest with constant ridiculous posts and inflammatory comments. The Mods seem to be indifferent to this troll. 

It seems the best course of action is to ignore him (or them). I will no longer feed the troll.

Ignore them or not it want matter. I Suggest MHGA! Make the huddle great again by bringing back neg to Smack and installing a true conservative leader in Zod. In Zod we trust! 

I think we've been requesting neg rep to smack for about as long as the Huddle's been around, less the year we actually had it.

That one year though was absolutely awesome. The Troll melt downs (mainly Fiz) were epic.

Safe to say im a huddle vet. I even lurked before I made this account

 

the poo posts on here are starting to get unbarable. I had my fair share of drink posts on here but rarely did i make threads. Even so...   i was here before the all pro thing. I understand zod needs to make a living, but at the expense of this place being overpowered by trolls its truly a bummer. Some of these guys, ill give them credit. They are good trolls. Hard to tell if they are just neurotic or a troll. Borderline where you cant definitivly ban them for anything, but they are just making a mess in every thread

 

youd think having all pro you wouldnt have to rely on the clicks as much. I know a good amount still do all pro. I used to. At first it was a cool idea. No adds, get extra pictures from games that you already got on the main forum as an extension...  i felt like i was paying for extra content. After a few months i realized it really was just a thing to get dudes on here to pay $5 a month to feel like they have a little more prestige over the guy who doesnt. The gameday pic threads dwindled..  and i decided to stop my sub. 

   ... and then you get sucked back into it with clickbait stuff like i did. I paid $5 to find out more info about benji when we had the tubby episode this past offseason. Ill admit, it got me. Clevar. Thats never been the problem. But when i bought it there really wasnt much substance and it was still all speculation just from a different perspective. 

 

All that aside, this place used to be a place of genuine discussion, a place where youd get dinged with neg rep if you acted like an idiot. A place with good content. 

 

But i feel this place got sold out. If there is going to be an all pro, cut back on the trolls and clickbait crap. I think its a fair criticism, and i present it in all respect to zod and others who help create this place. The buisness aspect is on point i would guess. But as someone who has paid at least a respectable chunck of his own money to this place and someone who has contributed to this place consistently for views and discussion i feel at least my opinion should be able to be put out there. 

 

At the end of the day im just one huddler, i dont own a damn thing on here and ill continue to come back daily to get my fix. But tbh as a huddle vet ive grown to be pretty disapointed in managment.

    • Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.
    • Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.
    • I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
