I think the biggest reason most boards are tightly moderated as that people read it at work. Luckily, most of the behavior that could get you in trouble at work is found in Smack, the Lounge, or teh Hotness catergories. The actual Panthers category is fairly tame and about what it should be about (minus a Zod post here and there, but he has that right)...the Panthers.

Trust me Zod, this board is not as nearly strict as some message boards are

I was a member of one and if you didn't directly give your opinion with a detail description then it would be considered "SPAM" and after so many warnings I got pissed off and never went back to their forums again.

It's like the forum is in a permanent day-after-loss mode. I always expect to not see a decent discussion the Mon or Tues after a loss, but by Wed people have calmed down. This forum is caught in the Monday abyss. I suspect it'll get better one FA starts and things start happening - people won't have as much to let their imaginations run wild on.

I believe so...for those (like me) who is only able to visit 1-3 a week it is nice to see and read posts, but so often I hear "already talked about", or "use search"...I guess I can understand in this world of easily frustrated that people dont want to see 20-100 posts on one topic, but why do they have to respond so negatively - cant they just not read it? People getting banned for having personal opinions or more often causing the frustrations of those easily frustrated...I just don't understand it myself.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
