If you want to add some "soul" to a topic, just use one of the other threads. Sticky threads isn't meant to make those topics more important. It's just to clearly identify which threads are moderated. |

"Outside of simply enforcing the rules, my main wish would be to keep threads on topic. The site can be a valuable resource for lurkers who want to read some discussion about the Bearcats or learn about recruiting, bracketology, opponents, stats, players, etc. No one who visits wants to read arguments about who is a worse fan of the team or accusations that someone might be related to Mick Cronin based on their posts. A general guideline - if a lurker would not benefit from reading it, it's probably not worth posting. I think game threads and one or two open threads should be basically fair game for anything that doesn't break the forum rules. Other threads, like Bracketology, Around the AAC, Former Bearcats, etc. should be limited to posts that are useful and the occasional humorous or anecdotal diversion. Posts that are useless bickering would be moved to an open thread rather than be deleted." |

I'll keep the sticky threads up for a week or so, and then maybe I will make a poll to see how people feel about it. If people don't like the sticky threads, I'll get rid of them.
All of my decisions will be transparent. I'll state what I did and why. And I'll welcome criticism. If most of the board is clearly not happy with something, I'll rescind it. So far I think the changes have been fairly benign. I'm really just moving posts out of a handful of threads to keep them on topic. Almost all forums I am a part of have sticky threads with consistent pertinent information. No one has been punished for off topic posts. |

Start threads specific to what you would like to discuss....then you can go on for days about it with other people who would like to go on for days about it. Good grief |

the truth is this forum is by far the most laid back. thats why some guys still post here, they've been banned other places or just get laughed off the site. this site still lets them go on, it just asks them to do it in specific threads. seems like a fair trade. |

Ok, let's try some public transparent moderation of the above post. I moved it here from the bracketology thread. Two issues:
1. It provides nothing of value to the topic. 2. The signature is immature (it is present on other posts too). I think the post should be moved and a warning should be given to remove the signature. Ignoring the warning will result in deletion of posts or a short term ban. I haven't done anything yet except move the post here. I'd like to get some opinions from the board, including Catalysmo. |

i mean you got banned when the moderation was strong years ago. also when the board was really strong. so... this place used to be more strict but it hasn't been that way for a while. Jacob left cause it was stressing him out way too much. |
