We probably need another Mod. I'm an old fart and like to rack out by 10:00 like last night and I often wake to someone bellyaching about some yo-yo posting offensive crap at 10:01! Anyone want the grave yard shift?? The Real Oracle nominates The Honey Badger and ibtwww! The Real Oracle Out Some might think this is a troll's comment but you and I both know you were serious and absolutely not trolling.

Mods, Out of curiosity, how many "trolls" (no need to name names) have been banned this season? To get a rough idea go down to the admin section and you'll see the messages. From today going back to Feb. 22, 2014 it looks like 29 give or take!

When you start trying to read other people's minds, you are on shaky ground. WLR HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you on the politics board I honestly couldn't care less what people say on here, trolling or not... Except for the fact that parents, recruits, and players read this forum and it reflects terribly on our fanbase.

I will take a look at those mentioned as being trolls. The problem is that it's easy for a member to take exception to someone's posts and conclude that the correct course of action is to ban that person. On this side of the table (i.e., the administrators) it's not such an easy call. For one thing, these complaints, for me at least, boil down to some members questioning the intentions of other members. When you start trying to read other people's minds, you are on shaky ground. WLR The "big three" that are usually called out on this definitely fit the definition of "troll" in my book. If you were to look at their entire body of work here, I'm certain you'd find a trend that the vast majority of their posts are intentionally inflammatory, and designed mainly, or entirely to stir up heated emotional responses. And seldom, if ever, contribute anything of redeeming value to the conversation. While some do, I don't count Alohaboarder among their number, as he does often contribute to the discussion despite doing a considerable amount of "pot stirring" himself. I seriously doubt that the three really bad offenders would be missed, and their absence would more than likely allow legitimate disagreement over the positives and negatives in the world of Aztec athletics to take place without the gratuitous slanders and insults the "big 3" tend to inspire.

Stop thinking commie. This is a free country. If you don't like what someone posts let them know. Tons of you make light of Mormons and what they believe on here yet you get away with it. I don't think its funny. But I don't think you should not have the freedom to say it. No one is going to get prosecuted or go to jail for what they say here. That is all "this is a free country" means. This is a message boards and it has clear rules that are supposed to be enforced by the mods. The fact that we have freedom of speech in the U.S. doesn't mean that you can't and shouldn't get banned by breaking the rules of the forum. So then its up to the "mods" to decide if talk about Mormons , other stuff etc. is hate speech or its not? Why do you deserve that power? So your conscience speaks for everyone? That is not freedom. That's abuse that should be rejected and should be vilified. There were posts on here making fun of Mormons and even using sexually abuse words that I did not find funny at all yet it was allowed and I don't take away the freedom of anyone to say what he wants. But you people are concerned about posts just trying to disturb posters in even much less a manner? Get Real.

Unfortunately a lot of boards go down in flames due to trolls, spammers and generally inconsiderate rude posters. The once active "Proud Tradition" home of the AZ Wildcats is pretty dead & has been replaced with Point Guard U. I guess certain individuals derive some odd pleasure in bringing down boards just as some hackers enjoy destroying peoples computers by using malicious software. All we can do is try to be a positive part of something entertaining and informative. I hope we can continue to keep this board afloat. Thanks for your cooperation!
GO AZTECS!

But you people are concerned about posts just trying to disturb posters in even much less a manner? Get Real. It's not up to me since I am not a mod. As far as that not being freedom, you still don't seem to have a grasp on how freedom of speech works. You do not have an inherent right to be employed. Therefore, if you do not act within the defined rules, policies, etc. of your employer, they can suspend you, fire you, etc. You also do not have an inherent right to post on a message board. If the administrators of that board feel that you are not following the rules of the board, they have a right (some might say a responsibility) to temporarily ban you, permanently ban you, do an IP ban, etc. You can argue about the validity of the rules or whether or not the mods are properly enforcing the rules, but invoking freedom of speech as why people should be able to say or do whatever they want on a message board shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what freedom of speech is.

I feel like this is not Aztecs sports or conference related and is trolling the Aztecs Sports and Conference Discussions board.
