I understand you being frustrated about the situation. I just think people have an issue with how you respond to it. Those kind of responses are what we're moving away from.

I didn't respond at all initially because I knew one of my members made a mistake and didn't mark his post VIP. The issue is flat out lying and saying UC is actively recruiting a player that has signed an LOI. If that lie spreads it can damage the program, and that is a serious issue. Your site to run how you wish, but certainly you can see the major problem here either way...

Yep. Fair enough. I understand the severity of the issue.
In the future (and this is for everyone), you can "Report" a post in a situation where you feel like someone has crossed the line. This will copy the post in question, and allow you to make your comments in a thread that goes to the mods. We feel like using this will stop the pissing matches that the_one_32 was referring to. Bc we will be able to then address the issue in-house. No one feels attacked. And we feel like that solution will lead to a better chance for success in resolving the issue for the long run.

It needed a special thread because the other site announcement covered everyone else. This needed to be said and needed to be addressed. Chad is held to the same standard as everyone else but there's a difference in starting an argument and defending yourself. And yes I agree with Chad citing insider info with naming the source at least is cutting his legs out from underneath him. I'm sure if some of you were in his shoes you would react the same way.

A better question would be "is it unethical". If yes, don't do it, regardless of legality. I would hope a Bearcat would rise to the higher standard.

The only thing I'd like to add to the conversation is this: you can be 100% right in what you say, and 100% wrong in the way you say it.

That said, we all know the BCJ rules and should respect them.

I believe it is unethical for the way Chad talks about bearcatboy when bearcatboy is bringing info that is posted freely elsewhere to this site. Then tries to frame his petty anger as being cause by potential damage to the program, like that would ever occur due to something said on bearcattalk.com. Someone who wants to succeed in promoting the program and really cares about the program would be more excited about large amounts of people wanting to know about the program, recruiting, etc... and less angry about potential profit loss from info dissemination.

The fact is chad has a lot of information that none of us do and he can control what he wants us too know and pissing him off is most likely not going to make it easy to get good information. If you don't like something he posts just ignore it, don't ruin it for the rest of us.
