I came on here yesterday to see what people were saying about the games and all I saw were posts about how we don't deserve this or that and obvious bait posts trying to get our bad posters to say something stupid. All the reasonable posters from Southern want is to be recognized for the good season we've had. Most of us respect the conference as a whole and the schools in it.

Congrats to App on a heck of a game. Congrats to the Cajuns for your season as you still have a shot at the title. Good luck to all of the teams who make it to a bowl game. Do us proud. I hope every one gives us their best shot next year because we'll be doing our best to repeat as champion and to make our first bowl game. Hail Southern!!!

In another life, when I design a college sports discussion forum, there will be a feature where you can personally rank each poster with upvotes and downvotes. Not just see/ignore, and not just a collective ranking, but a way of tracking who I think is worth paying attention to. Every fanbase gets lumped together on here. I actually think the problem might be worse for GS since it seems like 2/3 of posters have "Eagle" or "Southern" in their names, so it's easy for them to all run together.

Reddit works by pushing good posts up and bad posts down, but it doesn't work in a linear forum like this.

Maybe something like the rep system where users with negative rep are blurred or faded out unless you hover over the post or something. The issue with that is folks like GSU Eagles who somehow have pretty high positive rep but are the cause of a large percentage of the hate for my team. Then you have folks like Seminole Indian who DO have a low negative rep and people take them seriously too.

Honestly, there's probably not a good solution because it's a mixed crowd of folks from different fanbases who are easily trolled.

Yep....there's a lot of circling going on.

Bring it on.... Next year should be an awesome year for football in Boone! Hosting stAte, ULL, the gnat infestation, and hosting our first ever non-conference FBS game when Wyoming comes to town! Couldn't be more pumped for the season! Now let's finish out this year strong and carry that momentum into the offseason04-rock

Good lord this...

Sure there's a good solution.
Remember it's just a college football message board and there are all kind of people posting on it and there are times some are going to type things -- thanks to the cover of anonymity -- that one probably isn't going to agree with, or won't like, or thinks is stupid, or whatever. I know there are smug-ass know-it-alls on here and the Southern board who drive me up a damn wall, and I'm sure I annoy hell out of some of them right back. But I'd never suggest they not post or their posts be censored or categorized as "bad" just because I don't like what they say or the way they say it. Part of our problem in society now is we seem to think anything that doesn't fit our worldview is wrong or offensive.
