Yeah, that was the idea. I think it's good to have both. "Soulless numbers" are useful. It's difficult to have threads like that when conversations shift the topic.
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.

FWIW, I laid out what my philosophy would be when I was nominated:

"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."

This place lost most of its momentum after the Nevada loss

He was asked to be a mod. Mainly because he is rational and objective. Trying to keep threads on topic is generally a good idea and is a rule on most boards. This board has always been pretty lenient except for those who refuse to change their habits after a warning or two.

I've been warned before...so I stopped doing the thing I was warned about

Novel idea

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.

There are plenty of threads to discuss just about anything you like in any way you like. You can even start a Cronin vs Brannen thread and I think that would be fun for many. Or a UCLA vs UC thread if that gets your gears going.

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.

But if UC and UCLA both managed to win out. I’d probably take UCLA’s resume just because it would have 7 tier 1 wins
Bahahahahahaha

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.

other places don't let a few people turn every thread into the same thing, they just ban them. this place didn't ban anybody.
Uh BS I got my first account banned over disagreeing with an old mod Jacob. So that’s not true at all. This board dying had nothing to do with lack of moderation

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.
