If you just signed up within the last 2 months, and I look at your content and it's all poo emojis and trashing Cam across various threads.  You are banned.  Period.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if you're not a fan of a certain player, have at it.  But if your first and foremost priority is to come here and flood the forums with posts trashing one specific player and you didn't join until this recent skid, well then, you can take that opinion elsewhere.  That's not a constructive, genuine take....  it's trolling, and it won't be tolerated.

Need to delete the troll threads too like "Choker Cam" and "Cam Sucks"

I've already locked several...  but if they've been around awhile, I'm giving them a little more leeway, even if their opinion is blatantly stupid lol.  If they're obviously trolling, their time here won't matter, I'll address that as well.

I honesty dont even bother opening threads with those kinds of titles and don't think they should be here. I'm sick of people trashing the guy in which the coach has forced him to carry the team so much that it has now broken him and now the so called "fans" are  treating him like poo for not being able to carry us anymore through Rivera's bullshit. It's like punching your horse for breaking a leg after carrying you across the country.

My opinion as well, but I'm not trying to quash others opinions, even if they are ill-informed or based on nothing but personal bias.  Fortunately, most of these posters are showing their intentions early on.

I think right now quashing is needed. Threads like those shouldn't exist. This place needs cleaning up. Too much toxicity towards one player.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      David Newton finally retires

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
