Good post& adulations I render unto thee in the exemplary manner of the insightful command structure,vision & officer corp of which you have assembled for us,,,er,,,I for one, being of the sometimes deemed unworthy of which to enjoy,,,SIR!:starspin:
Suckup...
Thy nose... it be brown as a horses...patootie!
 
Excuse me for being an idiot. Most fans like to have their say. If we step out of line let us know why so that we can correct it. Why do some mods delete and others don't. There should be some consistency. Why is a Dak sucks thread ok but a Garrett sucks post not. Blah blah blah......its your forum, so you win.

i am pretty sure 1 mod consistently move my garrett posts to drama zone :lmao:
 
Great post, Coach!

You really seem to understand the reasons behind a lot of things here.

What most people don't realize is that CZ is not my vision or the staff's vision of how a site should be run. It's an evolution over 15+ years from many staff members and users as well as a lot of user feedback and usage patterns

A lot of people think of the Fan Zone as CowboysZone, but there is a reason why there are more forums and why we strive to keep each forum focused on its own purpose rather than letting forums get saturated with all types of threads and posts.

For example, we work hard to keep the Fan Zone focused on Cowboys current news and information while allowing some new types of topics and discussions to be posted as well. The reason we do this is because a lot of users come to the site either at work or simply for one goal and that is to quickly see if anything new or interesting has happened with the Cowboys today. Those users do not care about yet another fan's opinion on why some player or coach sucks, they just want to read about current Cowboys news and fan reactions to that news.

There are also a lot of users here that have more free time or at least spend more time on the site and are interested both in Cowboys news and information as well as many of those rehashed discussions. Of course some users just like to debate and some users like to bash the players, coaches, etc. they hate.

Then we have forums like the Off-topic Zone where a lot of users spend their time talking about a lot of random things or just chit-chatting back and forth.

What we have always tried to do on CZ is provide a place for all of those types of users.

While some users get mad that we move a thread to the other forums they fail to understand that in the past, we would have likely just deleted the thread instead. Some users may see a moved thread as a negative, but we see it as a way to get it more exposure for the users who are most interested in those types of threads.

May be there should be a cowboys new zone for people to get news.
Open up the cowboys discussion zone to discuss everything cowboys other than draft.
Some fans may view their threads being move to drama zone as derogatory.
I certainly do.
 
Coach, you need a more stealth approach. There's a poster that hates Booger more than you do Garrett but he finds way to turn threads instead of starting threads. He got into all kinds of arguments on the old forum, which I think he really enjoyed, because most waited for him to turn it on Booger.

Now, I had no problem, as I was part of a very small minority when I first joined there, because I had 0 use for Booger and some got pissed at me nicknaming him but his previous nickname was OSF, Ole Sphincter Face. Now, which would you prefer, if you were Booger?

I finally gave up my crusade and just decided to avoid all exposure to him that I could control and only know what he says when posters bring it in here. And gave up arguing with posters, most do not come to discuss opinions but to defend them and that's OK, we each take from here what we need or want.

Now, there can be no talk of you leaving, nip that in the bud right now, mister. Get pissed, get all amongst yourself, but you are not allowed to leave and if necessary, a cyber shock collar can be put upon your person.

stealthy works for @Ranching coachie since he is short and small.
 
Why would you do that to this good, gosh darn American???
He deserves better! He gets mistreated by the VA!

I think...

true story, my friend who is an army md is dealing with his parents who are both ~90 and has serious physical impairments.
the father apparently has to wear diapers.
the problem is he adds in tissues to make sure everything is dry on the outside.
the problem is that he is cheap in a strange irrational way.
he reuses those tissues and leaves them out to dry in his bathroom.
needless to say, my friend is beside himself.
but arguing with his father is causing huge fights like "this is the house rules here and what i say is all that matters..."
 
If something happens once in a while, it happens sometimes, but not very often.

So using that definition, do you still think you say Garrett sucks once in a while?

just because something is stated already, does it make it false.
he will continue to suck until he is fired.
so where does one draw the line?
one thread per week?
one thread per month?
one thread per year?

And your friend could probably get in trouble.
And what can he do?
I see this kind of stuff at Beaumont, here in El Paso when I visit.
