Negativity / Name Calling / Post Quality

[Brian the Automator]

Obviously, after games like these, there is going to be a lot of negativity in the forum, and that is to be expected.

 

With that said, one of the more disturbing trends I see is people using name-calling as part of their argument against a player. It's not something that's specifically banned here, as that's a REAL gray area. As a favor, I'd just like to ask that you keep your focus on constructive conversation and arguments (and yes, that certainly includes negative comments about a player/coach/manager/etc).

 

Another trend I'm seeing is repetitive posting. This is something we've had a problem with in the past, and it's something I'm seeing more and more of at this point of the season. If you made a point in the thread (prime example being the Ned Yost yay/nay thread), there's no need to reiterate it. IE: "this is enough, he's got to go!". I also see this a lot in the IGT, but that's to be expected more I guess.

 

Please, let's just keep things orderly and post negative comments with the idea in mind that posts should be well-thought out and put together. The same goes with positive comments as well.

I think I'm going to stay out of the MLB forum for a while. I find myself getting sucked into playground shouting matches that accomplish nothing. I'll stick to the minor league playoff run for a week or so. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
