    Is that banning rule actually serious? I thought it was a joke. o_O
    It is. I just don't want him going around making new posters feel like he has any authority on the matter.

        Well the guy makes up the rules AFTER you create the thread, and then calls for your head constantly for a whole day. Its ridiculous, and that is NOT how we work around here. Welcome to the board jshchn.
        I am sorry about being such a dick. Ya I know it was a joke, I guess I just took it too seriously. Sometimes I do get carried away. I have a reputation of taking everything TOO seriously.:O
        My friends usually have to remind me to calm down.

          All good man! Its a neat idea to add something to the games, just want to make sure the mods are doing the moderating around here. Its fine as a joke, but lets keep it as such.

            I do realize I do not have that much authority here. I am kinda a rook too but I've been reading for a while. It is just in my blood to lead and take things seriously. Sorry about it, didn't want it to end like this.

                  I am I only one who thinks that trying to coordinate game day threads is a project doomed to failure? I enjoy game day threads as much as the next poster, but I'd like to go on record as saying it's a bad idea. You want to post a game day thread go ahead. You shouldn't need anyone's permission to start a new thread as long as it's posted in the proper forum. It's not like you can't add your own pre-game thoughts to an existing thread. Whose going to keep track of the rules and make sure the appropriate people are posting the game day threads? Whose responsible for decided what the rule are and enforcing them? Banning people for posting threads is completely backwards. Shouldn't we be encouraging new people to post threads and be activity, instead of creating a barrier?

                  It seems to me that there are only two arguments against a first come first post rule. One, people being territorial, and feeling like other posters are stealing there thunder. Two, superstition. Do either of these arguments justify alienating posters?

                    I'm witnessing transition to teen forums, too bad.
                    WTF rule.

                    How it could be worse than ban?

                        Made it worse.

                            First of all the banning is all a joke. Second of all, Dr. James Naismith proposed this for superstition purposes. We rode Kazan as long as he kept getting us wins. That's the whole idea I guess in summary.

                              You don't name it "rule", sticky it and then state it all was a joke...

                                Well it clearly was a joke, designed to provide some fun for people. It's not like I really care if I'm the one who starts the game-day thread, and don't see why other people would either.

                                If you don't care for this rule, let the ones who are having fun keep it going.

                                Again, I don't see this as infringing on anyone's enjoyment, so why hassle it.

                                He's terrible."

                                Hope you're wrong.
