Negged to Smack?


The Other Colbert

Recommended Posts

No.

It was often abused and there was little hope for anyone who wasn't a Panthers fan to be able to post in the main forum for more than a day. A little bit of friendly verbal sparing ended up with folks relegated to a place where every post quickly descended into 3rd grade name calling.

Once someone was neg repped to smack there was no way to get back to the main forum and "reform" themselves.

It was some of the worst mob mentality and group think ever demonstrated on these forums.

meh....it wasn't abused.

I agree with the sentiment but Inmicus is right... people were even getting negged IN smack, which is NOT cool.

Best option is for the mods to be able to relegate posters to smack for continuous trolling/bad posts.

But with guys like TRD who went from a good poster to a sh*tty troll whose only goal was to piss people off, the mods did nothing until Zod decided he had enough and banned him. Then I don't know what happened but he didn't come back.

But, the amount of arguments and stupid threads he made for the sheer enjoyment of causing virtual riots went unchecked for months and it was clear he was doing it just to get a rise out of people.

That is a serious problem, and TRD wasn't the only one doing it, he was the only one willing to go to the furthest extremes... The huddle has been much more peaceful and intelligent since he's been gone... that is until the rash of Saints trolls infected the board with their presence after Sunday.

Some of us (a minority, i admit) are actually adults who want to read and discuss Panthers football, not read 10 pages of pissing contests between barely literate people posting "funny" pictures. If it's not neg repping to smack, it still needs to be something, because this is turning into an absolutely terrible place to come.

I don't disagree with you in as much as there needs to be better policing of the main forum. I just don't think leaving it to the mob is the best way to handle it.

Thing is though Inimicus, I don't ever remember anyone from that "neg to smack" era ever being WRONGLY forced into the smack forum. Odds are, if they came in with the goal of being a dumbass, they got treated like one.

If someone came here looking to discuss football and any other issues pertinent to our team intelligently and as an adult, they didn't get sentenced to smack. If you have something substantive to offer, people will engage you seriously.

Maybe if it was weighted depending on amount of negative reps? Maybe that would limit your concerns of groupthink and mob mentality taking over?

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
