Lets all be a little more civil

FinatikStaffOPThe contentiousness on some of these strings has gotten a bit too much. It drives people from the site. In trying to keep us relevant, I’m going to attempt to moderate this forum.
Disagree all you want. Discuss. But leave the personal attacks out of it. I’m going to delete the offending stuff if I see it. I’m a huge free speech kinda person so I’m hoping this will be few and far between instances.
You can always PM me but let’s not piss and moan about minor edits in the strings.

Lots of people will tell you what they think about you and what you shouldn't and should do. Not everyone's thoughts are worth consideration. Don't take criticism from anyone who you wouldn't also go to for advice.
KeyFinForum VeteranYeah, Happy Thanksgiving everyone and an even happier Black Friday (with a big Fins win)!

aesopForum VeteranThere are about 8 active users here at this point, the only entertaining part of this site is the hen house fights about Tua and infighting.

I have, someone didn't like my 2/10 rating of the last one. This place is quite unwelcoming and at the same time boring now. Do any of you even remember Fanhell?
OwesOwn614Forum VeteranIt's really not difficult. If you disagree with somebody, tell them why you disagree without saying the person is a liar, troll, or ignorant. Personally, I don't like engaging with either of those so if they struck me in such a negative way, I'm ignoring them.
Besides that, if you feel compelled to engage in a bitter dispute, take it to DM and spare the rest of us. If you can't do that, you're just arguing because you want to make the other poster look bad, not because you think you can change his mind.
HooliganSupporterFinatik, congratulations on your being named as the latest Staff Member. Certainly well deserved. Fins Up.

Yeah, I've been out the door for close to a decade at this point. Good strategy though, maybe you can create a Taxi Driver situation here for yourself where it's just you talking into the mirror.

I've never understood why anyone would let themselves be chased away from a message forum or whatever by someone whose opinion they don't respect. Particularly since you can block people here.
Rick 1966Forum VeteranThe real reason this board has few active members now is because message forums are a dying media. I'm 57 and I've been posting on different forums since I was in my late twenties. Younger people don't look for internet message forums. They go to subreddits if they do that sort of thing at all. Most of them use SnapChat and Instagram and even Facebook and the X Formerly Known as Twitter are for older adults. They're photo and video oriented. We're a dying breed.

Yeah Don’t come in a LETS BE CIVIL THREAD and insult the board twice.
pretty simple common sense for most.

The post lacked respect for the board and common decency. Perhaps the poster needs to look in the mirror.

This is true. Most forum users are older and generally continue to visit the same forums they have for years and years.

i've taken a glance into the mirror and concluded that you are a drama queen and this forum is dead and boring.
What would make it alive and exciting for you? I personally love it here. We're just a dysfunctional family of long suffering Fins fans enjoying the best season we've seen since 1984. Everyone here is awesome IMO... Even Resnor! So I hope you find an exciting place to go if you leave. We'll all be here.
ExplosionsInDaSkyForum Veteran"Let's all be civil" = Fighting and bickering in a forum with that title. I expect nothing less. I believe this forum (for the most part) is made up of older fans and the thing with older people is that the older they get, the more unreasonable they become. The more set in their ways they become. Others just can't help themselves and have to pick fights.
I was talking to my oldest son last night about the differences in generations between us. I was born in the 80s and I'm a 90s kid. I grew up with every day violence and bullying. It was face to face every day at the schools I went to whether I experienced it directly or indirectly. There was no hiding from it unless you hid in the school library. My son was telling me that it's not like that these days. These days, bullying is all on the internet, on social media, and in forums such as this one. I hate to say it, but he's right. The only other time I see it in a personal setting is when I'm driving, and it's usually the boomers who have finally gotten to the point where they can afford their GMC Denali that do it. It's a sad existence at times. Happy Thanksgiving day ya'll.
FinatikStaffHappy Thanksgiving everyone.

KeyFinForum VeteranHappy Turkey Day, my friends!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Is it me or is it kinda weird that there’s no AFC teams playing today? (At least we’d have someone to root against)
djphinfanSupporterTo the folks on this board that matter and who care about the health of this boring message board, for the ones who know how to celebrate and evaluate properly and in a civil respectful manner….. happy thanksgiving
