poster complaints on site

  • i dont understand why people are upset about people posting about watkins, dabo and clemson. i would think you are able to read the topics before you open them and if not when you do if you dont want to read them CLOSE them and move to one you want to read. everyone pays their money and most have different interests. its like going to a book store and complaining that they have books you are not interested in. move on and let someone read what they want to or post what they want witin the rules of the site. READ WHAT YOU WANT TO AND MOVE ON !!!

  • I would say its like walking into a Christian bookstore and 50% of the books being about Satan. No one comes to a gamecock site to read about Clemson. If we wanted that we would have signed up for it.

  • I don't mind the talk either but would love for a one stop Clempson thread. Push pin it at the top if you have to. It would clean the board up and make it better for those that claim they don't want to read it.

    You're right about that. I don't open a lot of them.

    What I've posted on this subject is more along the lines of wishing that the Gamecock fanbase were more attuned to its SEC rivals.

    ok, then buy the book christian book you want and go home and read it, then decide if you want to go back or not to that store. if not find one you want to go to that sells only what you want to read. thats one of the things wrong with america today, everyone wants everyone to agree with only their views or not have one. this country was founded on being able to have different ideas. dont try to force people to do what YOU want them to do. as stated in the original post READ it or DONT. but dont jump on people who do!!!!

    The Point is there doesn't need to be 25 threads about it. There is no need to start a new thread every time someone has a new thought on the subject. I am well aware that I don't have to read them, but it does clutter up the board.

    I apologize. I wasnt aware I was pissing on America by not wanting a gamecock message board spammed with Clemson conspiracy theories. Carry on my patriotic friend. Godspeed.

    no need for to be sarcastic, just try to understand the message. or at least be open minded enough to try, if not too difficult. by the way that was one of the main points.

    Why not? What's the harm? If we had only one mega-thread about Watkins we'd be deprived of the pleasure of a poster starting a thread by calling Watkins "Sambo".

  • The solution is way too simple...when I want to post a new topic, I CHECK THE BOARD FIRST.

    If the topic is already there, I add to the thread rather than starting a new thread.

    It seems that a lot of our members feel they somehow attain celebrity status by starting a new thread.....really? Funny thing, I've seen JC and the guys add to existing threads unless they have something major to add which is deserving of its own thread and needing to be pinned.

  • Alot of you Clemson apologists would rather we just forget about the whole Watkins thing and let it die.

    Or maybe we disdain Clemson so much we don't care to hear or see anything about them...especially 20 threads over the last two days that pertains to them.

    You know that Sambo is Russian Brazilian JiuJitsu, right? Or, Judo, whichever floats your boat. Just FYI

    Then don't read the posts. I'm not sure why that's so difficult.

  • How about this... I pay my money just like you. I don't want to read about your christian views on MY GAMECOCK message board.
    .
    .
    ....so what do I do. I skip those (except once when I created a firestorm of controversy) threads and read about the subjects that I like. One of the subjects I like is YOUR views on the Sambo Weedkins case and whatever new information or new perspective that you can bring to the table.
    .
    Even that asshole hero of mine, Steve Miller.

    Yeah, those christian threads take up half of the first page. It's amazing how many times the board is cluttered with 27 threads about someone's Christian beliefs.
