Opinion Zone

[Cbz40]

Nors:

Articles, opinion threads, recaps and a variety of threads begin in "The Zone" when the thread reaches p3 it is moved to the appropriate Zone.

If you think about it .......this should make it easier to locate past articles, PC recaps etc.

It would also be of benefit to members to adapt themselve to using the other Zones.
They are quite informative.

I was just questioning - at one point it was mentioned posting in wrong thread was bannable. I was just trying to clarrify what gets posted to opinion zone or Zone? Still not clear but it appears Opinion is where a thread goes when it reaches page 3. Maybe that should be an archive?

Nors, you can post your "opinion" thread here or you can post it in the main forum. Generally what will happen is that when you post in the main forum, after it reaches page 3, we'll move it here.

The reason why the threads aren't archived is simply because we want the threads to still be active, but not buried on page 15 of the main forum. Moving it brings new life to the thread, just in a different forum. Make sense?

Anyway we can get a nors zone so we will know what we are getting into when we click a thread he is in? lol

watchu talkin bout willis?


People love to hate me or get it - Simple math.
Rack it!

Thanks for the feedback.

If my posts were moved because they reached page 3 then I have no issue. And I apologize for jumping to an incorrect conclusion.

I was under the impression that they were moved because they were considered to be "Opinions". This obviously irked me because basically everything that is posted on this Forum is opinion.

I did not read the posting of the rules. I have not been on this site for a week due to the time constraints that life brings from time to time.

I, like the mods, get busy.

I have been a poster on this forum for several year. I like to view my contributions, and those of my fellow posters, as the content that makes these sites work. It is the content, not the mods, that makes a site what it is.

It is a two way street. And we all have choices.

Again, thank you for the explanation and please except my apologies for my incorrect assumption.

I would recommend changing the name from opinion to something else. Otherwise you can expect to have this issue come up again and again in the future.

Mike,
Most of the posters here belong to multiple sites and yet would say this is by far the best. I'd guess 60% or more of these folks were at the DMN forums which were the worst I ever visited. Thats because this is a 2 way street where mods enable good posters and practices. But even at that the person most responsible pays for the servers and software then takes time to develop the software further: Reality.

Time is no excuse for not knowing basic guidelines. If you don't have time to read those you dont have time to post. Calling out mods in public will get you attention but I doubt its the kind you want.

I do appreciate the apologies in this post and in the spirit of cooperation we will all benefit.

One point I would make where I completely disagree with you is about Opinions and such. No, not every thread here is opinion. Adamjt makes posts that are wholly factful. Pittdawg gives us updates about Rob which are informative but not opinion. We get injury updates, articles, mailbags, predictions and other things which would not fall under the heading of pure opinion. SOME posters content is pure opinion but that is a bad practice IMHO. What makes this site is not everyone's opinion that is to be sure, but all the other posts which shape those opinions.

All that said some folks love opinion threads where they can argue til the moon comes up. By placing all those threads in one location they are able to go directly to the type of posts they are seeking out. And the front page remains free to host a news story about Price being activated or Adam's stats.

Thanks again and please do feel free to PM any of us (BP and Juke especially) if you are at all confused, concerned or dissatisfied. We make concerted efforts to not play favorites and each have different takes amongst ourselves anyways. The only thing we absolutely agree on is that WG is the best looking mod and the Cowboys are the best team in professional sports.

My perception of some Mods was more along the lines of Hall Monitors.

Sure there is extra work, but some get off on getting to wear the badge and having the power to exert over others.

Not all Mod's fall under this category. But, by the same token, not all Mod's fall under the other category either

And I would wager that if you need 3 people to step up and be Mod's, there would be a line of people eager to wear the badge.

As far as the attention. It effects me not at all. At the end of the day this is a forum. My life does not revolve around it.
