thank you.
Maybe there is some rule that's come to fruition over the years that I have missed, but I didn't know it was a violation for a fan from another board to quote others- it was all in good fun and no hard feelings were intended.
I can see how it can be perceived as taunting, and respect the ruling- but if you're gonna talk trash, you should be ready to get served.
If our fanbase was to insult other teams in a gamethread and we end up losing- I wouldn't expect any less from fans of the opposing team. And as long as they keep it civil, I hope our mods here would grant more leeway...
Yeah, same sillyness happened with me. I thought a little gamesmanship with something as meaningless as basketball games that we watch, would n should be no big deal.
my comment-
Sons fan here, I'd favor you guys tonight, by about 12 pts if you had Morris, he kills us. But without, 6 pts, so we've got a chance to win 4 straight ba-bay! Haha
one of the responses-
This will surely age well
my response after we win-
4 in a row ba-bay! how's that aging for you!
Suspended when I signed in a bit later. It was literally using the response I got to hit back in a fun way. Hell I called myself a "sons" fan n was poking fun about possibly winning 4 in a row. I didn't know these were the ganglands of realgm, where's there's no treading on others turf. Especially in consideration of something so benign, nobodies family was brought into the mix haha.
Hell, I made a comment on the washington board about their thoughts on john wall n trade since they were talking about both at the time, n a white knight comes trotting in from our board n says I'm trolling them. I was doing nothing of the sort. I don't mind if someone comes from another teams board n wants to know our perspective on something, and just because that person has a negative view of something doesn't mean anything. They don't have to have a positive perspective on whatever the question is to be deemed an appropriate question. What is with the sensitivity, it's just basketball. Anybody who has a staunch sense of blind unreasonable loyalty to where it's high treason to have a negative view on their beloved team or player needs to really take a long look at themselves and ask if they're really being reasonable about the situation.
It really depends on the forum. Also maybe the timing. If people are highly emotional over the loss and someone pops in to say something like that....(though it appears you didn't quote the guy and just popped in with that comment later so no one probably remembered the response you got to your first post)....I'm sure someone was probably pissed and probably reported it...actually it appears that's what happened looking at it.
But a number of people from the Boston and Toronto fans have trolled each other's boards after and during games so they have had big problems there....so both of those forums are probably pretty tired of seeing fans come over and rub it in after a loss.
But I imagine if a Lakers fan popped into our game thread after they beat us in a game that was tight throughout most of it, the post would get reported as well. We wouldn't suspend though unless someone did it more than once and it was bad.
Honestly it's very weak. Even if they forgot about the post or whatever, it was still very benign n harmless.
Even with what you said, I still can't be with you on it man. We're supposed to be adults here, (at least the ones suspending, etc) and to suspend over that is extremely, soft.
If a Lakers fan came in n said something after we lost a close game, in the playoffs even, I don't even think it'd be a blip on my radar, much less drag an emotional response out of me. Like I said it's only basketball games that we watch, if you're taking extremely light comments like mine to the point of giving me a "time out" haha, you really need to reassess your priorities. The whole thing has all the elements of a joke really.
