I haven’t noticed any posters who are “positive only.” I’ve seen some with some positives of certain players AKA Young that seems to bother others that don’t care for him. Example no one thinks our OL is great or Frank is crushing it that I’ve seen. Not many are pro Tepper and I’ve seen few pro Fitt at this point. No one thinks Young has an elite arm, but saying it is average isn’t accepted by some which is fine.

“Positive only” posters don’t exist. That is a figment of @LinvilleGorgeimagination. 

”Negative only” posters do, and they don’t want to see any sliver of positivity, especially regarding our rookie quarterback showing improvement. And they will happily derail a good conversation about football with a good old fashioned “cope harder.”

I would probably be considered a "positive only" poster by him while more than half my posts are how terrible our GM and roster is lol

The notion that there are posters who only want positivity and will not tolerate a single ounce of criticism towards the team is laughable on its face.  This characterization is very deliberate, with the intention of painting a certain group of posters as delusional, intolerant, irrational, unreasonable, etc. simply because they are annoyed by every topic being instantly derailed by the same talking points ad nauseum.  Even the ones that almost definitely inspired the creation of this thread (unless it was just purely coincidental that Linville started this thread immediately after getting into it with people in the QB School thread) are saying that Bryce Young is struggling because of his bad supporting cast.  That is BY DEFINITION a criticism of the team as a whole.  "Positivity only posters" would suggest that people think our 0-6 start is amazing and going just as planned and our future is incredibly bright.

My personal two cents: I'm not here to tell people how to run this site. I'm just saying those responsible for keeping some semblance of order and civility will undermine their credibility and make the overall experience worse if they are instigators themselves.

I don't know the original context, and don't follow the OP enough to know his 'trolling' habits or lack thereof.
But it's just crazy to me that if people don't want a positive only thread, they won't just click around this one. It's literally one thread lol. 

I would say I think it's a good idea bc we're 0-6. But even if we were 5-1, I like the idea that there is at least ONE corner of the Huddle where you would be able to go and just see good uplifting things about the team.
No it's not 'even football discussion' but there are literally over 50 pages where you can do that, or even just vent on Twitter, or to your dog.

Let people have one nice thing, even if hypothetically it originates from some trolling a*hole.

Nobody wants a positive vibes only thread; things are too shitty for that.

But just a little less wallowing in the poo would be nice. I've seen far too many serious threads/discussions hijacked by people who seem to do nothing but post about how bad Bryce Young is and how he's the biggest bust since Jamarcus Russell and can't throw the ball 3 yards past the LoS.

Some of us occasionally want to have serious, logical discussions about film review, schemes, and individual player performance without the thread immediately being hijacked by 10 people whose only contribution is trolling those of us who want to have those discussions.

The fact that some of the most vocal thread hijackers are actually mods only makes things that much worse.
