Just requested a self-ban from CSNbbs

.... and plan on making this my home for free discussion of athletics at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Like others, I was troubled by the treatment of some posters, particularly Ace. I think this board will allow our own fans to have more say.

If we take some of the top posters from The Perch, this can be a great board. Before being banned, I sent PMs to RTR and eaglenjxn making them aware of what's going on over here. Some other users need to be recruited as well. Off the top of my head ... HarborPointe, TheChosenOne, and TTT are posters that I think could be talked into coming here. I also think of someone like a Gary O who used to post on EP and is a solid poster on BGN/GEP would fit in well here. There are plenty of others I like as well, but I'm not sure if they are interested in joining (if they are, great). If you know any of these guys, please let them about this forum.

Couple suggestions

1) recruit some of the better users like I mentioned
2) create a Twitter account for this forum, and get the word out there. Looks like an effort has already been made to get some on the EP Facebook involved.
3) I would move away from the College Sports Unfiltered name, and make this a USM forum only. I don't know what the name could be. A vote could be taken, I suppose. This could be the athletics forum then maybe add a politics/non-sports forum. I don't know if you could change the URL and have the collegesportsunfiltered.com link redirect here.
4) Can we make avatars at least 100x100? 60x60 is too small.

Thank you, and TTT.

(BTW, O/U on how long it takes for this to be deleted? http://csnbbs.com/thread-825175.html)

Thank you, beagle. I'm looking over your suggestions now. Always looking for ways to improve the board.

Excellent.

Any idea on what to do with these spam bots? Looks like a few have registered and one even posted.

Also, can we PM on these forums? I don't see that option.

I would delete all these accounts. I'm not sure what could be done to prevent spambots from joining.

I've changed the site settings such that I will now have to approve all new accounts. A bit of a hassle, but it should prevent what you're describing.

Some thoughts on your suggestions:

1) I feel like I've mostly succeeded at this. The good guys have found their way here.

2) If you're a Twitter user, maybe you can help me with the specifics of that site. I made an account, but I had to provide my full name. It seems like this is now visible to the public at large. Is there really no anonymity on Twitter? If I associate my actual name with this board, I'll have to moderate it. I have to work for a living, after all. But I don't want to moderate the board.

3) I feel like, with 120+ FBS programs having boards on CSNBBS, we can't be the only ones that have a problem with the heavy-handed moderation there. I certainly don't want to rule out any opportunity to provide a home for other disgruntled fan groups. Not sure how to get the word out, but maybe Twitter can help. Maybe I can try to identify disgruntled boards on CSNBBS. Maybe I can involve Chuck Oliver somehow (the "King of College Football"). That dude reads anything related to college football, and he has a good sense of humor.

Re: Just requested a self-ban from CSNbbs

Most of the other big fanbases on CSNbbs are pussies. Memphis, Rice, and some MAC schools. They're probably happy.

We have a lot of the good posters here, but I'd like to see HarborPointe and a few others make their way over here. Need more than 8-10 active posters imo.

Keeping with the theme of Doc Sadler pics, mine is better than both of yours.

Take that.

Re: Just requested a self-ban from CSNbbs

I didn't request a ban ... I just posted he is an idiot.  I got a warning and then when I went to follow it up I (1) rated him a couple of negative points (that took) and (2) commented he was a power hungry mental midget....that didn't take as he had me marked to require my posts get approved.

I suppose if I look later I'll be banned.

If you have an account there and don't care if you get banned, start up a thread and link this site.
