Site Conduct and Discourse

[carvers4math]

People who are behind the back Aholes are the worst. They are the back stabbers.

I may be an Ahole, but I’m an Ahole in public and to your face.

Makes me wonder, can you get DM’d from someone you blocked?

This reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy. Like Peter Quill, you may be an A-hole but you are not 100% a **** (nickname for Richard that starts with d).

Cave dwellers?

Not at all. More along the lines of those who ***** about the cave.

The **** did pants have blackmail on people or something? Just smoked everyone. He's not THAT much funnier. <3 u pants

Should get rid of the `dumb' button. Leave the disagree button. But the dumb button too often leads to escalations.

Dumb 1 and Dumb 2
1 - 15 yd penalty and no ejection
2 - 15 yard penalty and ejection

OK that was dumb

The most impressive entry is @JM4CY who is in 4th place on far, far fewer posts than most of the others on that list. Quality over quantity.

Today, before any personal remarks were seen publicly in the NFC game thread, there were already incredibly insulting, slanderous, personal attack, and cruel mental health remarks in both posts (quickly deleted) and in PMs.

Regardless of how long you've been a part of CF, you will never know what it's like to be a moderator on here. The moderators have given literally 10's of thousands of unpaid hours each over the past 17 years on here and repeatedly get belittled, insulted, talked down to, and personally insulted - usually via PM but even in public.

You might visit this site every day but have no reason to be sensitive to things posted. Moderators don't have that luxury, it's become a part of their lives, personas, or personalities. So while you might think you're a single person poking a jab, remember that there are dozens if not hundreds a week doing the same thing to those that are doing everything they can for you to have a place to visit. And likely many more doing far worse via PM.

So as you move on to other threads and posts or go to other sites, remember that you aren't singled out until or unless you give us a reason. Your actions have far greater impact on others than you might expect just because it's "the internet".

If you want the forums to continue to be lively and enjoyable, I would suggest thinking more about your jokes about moderators and/or moderation.

So you get to call people pricks and dicks as a mod, but then lecture people? Just curious.

Do we need some advanced analytics so we can measure points per post?

And on the opposite end of the spectrum…

The best thread in CF History

Some of this is a factor of when posts occurred, because I'm pretty sure we didn't have these reactions (and thus reaction scores) until the forum was converted from vbulletin to xenforo back in 2016.

Holy cow, how do people have 50,000+ posts? I have been posting in here over 5 years and just hit 1,000. It will take me centuries to hit those levels. No wonder they are popular they must be immortal!,

If my first account wasn’t hacked I would have been on that list. Now I’m a nobody.

Not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean.

Sorry to hear....as many have said, I see CF as a place to gather/bond over Cyclone sports and have fun discourse about other topics (I e. Hanging with friends chatting about random stuff).

Unfortunately, seems online "daggers," hate, jerkiness has also become a layer of our experiences beyond Cyclone sports...and it then trickles into "real life".

Try to be kind, humble, and thankful on/offline vs being someone no one likes

No idea what happened here but it sounds like things got really bad. I quit other SM sites bc of how bad people can act. Really hope I don’t have to quit this one too. I hope they ban those who crossed the line.

Exactly why I unsubscribed from the Cave in 2020 and I have enjoyed this site 100x more than I used to since then not having to see all the negativity and personal attacks that happen there on a daily basis. There are so much better things to do in life than to take things personally when some complete stranger on a message board personally attacks you. F them and move along when that happens.
