Impressive. But, let's remember that we are in the middle of the off season where things are rather quiet. Hopefully, this continues once football and basketball seasons start.

That's part of it.

Is there a way to add reputation to certain members?
For instance I am a member of www.realcavsfans.com and on their forums if you have a useful post others can "thank" you and add to your reputation. It allows users to see who posts quality posts rather quickly. However, that site has much more traffic than this one does. Hopefully that will change at some point.

Or perhaps an ignore list?
If a user doesn't like a poster's antics, they should have the power to ignore their posts.

I love the reputation feature, but don't know enough about software.

I'm assuming you're a mod here? I can ask around/do some research and see what I can find out about it. I think it is one of the best most interactive features to add to a forums page, and it also helps to get the best posts out of people.

Personally, I enjoy both the positive and the negative posters. Some of the so-called "positive" people on here present far less facts that many of the negative posters. If the goal is to have happiness and harmony in here, with not much substance, that is what I have seen since all the changes took place. I know this has been a down period, but this site seems to be way deader than it has ever been in past years during the supposed down periods.

In my opinion, the ones causing the most trouble on this site are the ones who personally attack the other posters. It seems to me that those who have a negative slant typically only attack the program, or the coach, or things about the program that they don't like. There are a number of people on here, who typically fall into the "positive" category, who may not like someone's opinion, and suddenly they're calling them a "troll" or whatever negative thing they can dream up. Then the fighting and arguing ensues.

The fact that no posts have been reported in 3 months means nothing, because just the other day there were so-called "positive posters calling other posters "trolls" and other negative names and nothing was done to the person(s) who did the name calling. If that kind of stuff is allowed to continue, nothing will ever improve on this site.

A good forum is made up of both positive and negative viewpoints and good debate back and forth. Get rid of the name callers and personal attackers and this forum will be good once again.

Care to share what thread that was in? PM me

He's probably talking about me on the Yancey/Deveroes thread.

Lobot · 08-05-2010, 06:50 PM

I am sorry to announce that someone reported a post today, so the streak is over.

Ding Chavez · 08-06-2010, 06:03 PM

Ha. I got banned, and it was pretty much self-reported (and acknowledged). Fun stuff, never had that happen before. I still agree with everything I said.
