As long as the staff here are fair, honorable, and respectful i am sure they will have no trouble getting support for the this site. I will be happy to help this site. So far i have had no troubles at all with any mods on here so its a breath of fresh air from FH. Finheaven treats its members like garbage, there rude, disrespectful to members, and have no class whatsoever. Which is why they have trouble gettin support for there site, over 60000 meembers, 1000s of members go on the site daily and they can barely scramble 50 ppl to donate. Hope we build a nice Dolphins community overhere and not whats going on overthere.
Seriously. I even called out Nublar7, and Wildbill for baiting me the day they decided to ban me. Their response was that it was ok because I'm only a troll. : /
I'm not sure if I agree with most of what you say about that site. I WAS a member there for 8 plus years and was never personally asked for money. I will however say that there always does seem to be a thread asking for donations. The issue with that site is it is polluted with negativity, doomsdayers and a fair amount of flat out uneducated football "fans". If you don't agree with the masses there's no sense in posting there. Debate is great as long as it's respectful and the person(s) you're debating with understand at least the basics of football. I'm still very much new here but this site definitely seems to have a much larger group of knowledgeable, dedicated posters. I know for sure that the draft talk on this site is far superior. The draft gurus here really know their stuff and even the non "gurus" opinions I really respect. There....not so much.
they dont necessarily ask you personally but create a thread with a message to all, a very rude message at that, saying that theres live depend on that site and we need members who donate blah blah. Well you can agree or disaggree but anyone whos been on that site knows whats going on overthere, you got admins, top of the chain calling members homos in threads and disrespecting anyone who doesnt agree with his stupidity. Members arent allowed to personnally attack anyone but admins are allowed, its just gotten to a new low overthere, the new expression some posters were using for the site was "the zoo". I actually think they did me a favor gettin rid of me, i feel much better never returning to that place again.
No board is perfect, that's what I was saying. Obviously I prefer this one or I would be at that one. And obviously you feel the same way since you found a new IP address and created a new name JUST to come back.
I have had my fair share of "battles" with staff, but befriended some of these guys on facebook, I realize they are literally just like us, (normal guys that love football) who patrol this place to keep it fresh, fair, and not personal....and considering they volunteer to do it, I give them props. I know, as someone with top 3 posts on this entire message board, I like to come here sometimes to vent in the lounge, throw in a .gif to make fun of a poster or a post, or to just talk some ****. I couldnt imagine being a MOD, needing to be on my toes at every moment, and even when I wanted to blow up, I couldnt, because I was a mod. Those guys need a break. Yes, they toe the line of censorship, and sometimes they get ridiculous with it....but they are owed a couple breaks, those ****ers earn it. /End suck up post
The only one who totally abuses his power is that Boik character. I hear he changed after being rejected by the Brinks Security Academy.
they dont deserve jack squat. They become moderators out of there own free will, no one forces u to become one so you arent oowed **** n because u are given a little power doesnt give u the right to harass anyone , they can all rot for all i care.
for whatever it's worth, this site has been built with great intention to make sure it's going to grow in the right way..there really is a lot of members here that treat each other like family, I worry and care about a lot of folks here and I've never met them in person..it's a special place, and never once since its opening have they asked for anything from anyone..but like I said, if no one helps out, then the few here that started it are taking the hit..I seriously would be hurt as hell if this place changed ownership or didnt have the values that they do.
I've never had a problem with those guys at all. Good dudes who work hard to be hospitable to all these angry fans. Same with this place. If you ever worked as a mod you would understand it is a labor of love. They never get enough cred IMO.
I honestly don't know of anyone on this site that I hate or would consider a bad apple, sometimes you get the occasional idiot but for some reason they don't stay long..lol, I swear that's the truth..I think it's all about how we can laugh at ourselves, and accept each others opinions no matter how outlandish they might be, it's still about knowing it comes from a real person who loves the team like the rest of us, also, understanding the frustration that some have with the team is important imo, some can deal with it better than others but that doesn't mean they love the team any less.. One time this dude came on the board, and he just didnt like me, I'm not the best speller or writer, or grammatically correct all the time, I tell ya what, my brothers had my back, and it was a really cool feeling ya know..
That night he was on Sick's radio show. Brings some sadness. I had so many battles with that guy. Sometimes you come to closure. You realize you fight for the same stuff. Miss that SOB dearly.
good dudes? we must not be talkin about the same ppl because they dont resemble anything with the word good on it. And if by working hard you mean ban ppl left and right who dont agree with there opinions, yea that must be extremely hard work. They never get enough credit? they each have over 8 badges a piece handed to them, i'd say they get too much credit for doing nothing but abusing site members.
Problem is everyone interprets bad apples differently, honestly I think you need some controversial guys to keep things interesting. And no I don't mean guys who fly off the handle with insults and are serious about it.
Mods everywhere are an over sensitive bunch and take their "jobs" way to seriously. By rule they over moderate and that is just no fun for anyone. It is what they do. No offense to any mod here of course.
At Finheaven, if you say one negative thing about Saint Ireland, you get banned for life. They remind me of some goofy kids club that has meetings on treehouses, and the dorks that wear a pot on their head and towels (capes) on their backs are the leaders.
Sick show was a fu&$in classic and not enough people realize how cool it really was, he was one of us tearing it up on the waves, it made us all closer..I want him to do it again..
When I was at FH they had a Mod that was a HUGE UF homer, any negative thing said about the Gators I got points for "trolling". They since dumped him I think wich obviously was a good move.
Agreed. Either way you can't let personal anguish prevent you from doing your best volunteer or not. Most here are good at keeping emotion out of the equation. Yes, I said MOST.
