Howard I think Kohl needs to be made an example of for his inflammatory comments.

I agree and he is also anti-potato, that should be noted for the judge and jury as well

Second this notion. Easily one of the best mods on this site.

Your votes do not count since you posted them in the wrong thread. Howard has clear rules about how this works. PM or in the appropriate thread. Looks like Geddy wins by default.

Important question:

When are the "soccer" emblems going to be updated so that I can place that of Leicester City proudly next to my name. Back in the Prem after 10 years away!

Last time i tried to defend my case, i was judged on the quantity instead of the quality ! This is how i felt and still feel about it. I think you should add that precision because once you have applied and got denied, you have to wait for 6 months to be allowed to do it again

I wrote probably more than 15 lines and it made no difference. Unless you have good connections with the moderating crew or the admin himself, you aren't gonna get your appeal approved.

Is it fair? Idk. But I guess should have thought about that before committing the "infraction" no matter how silly it may have been.

Just to throw it out there, I'd like to think that I have a few friends in the mod/admin crew of various boards here but I still have had my appeals rejected at least 3-5 times.

Guys, enough. This thread is for meaningful discourse over the contents of Howard's Mass Dispatch posts. Please take OT conversation elsewhere.

Instead of breaking down violations bit by bit, allow me to give everyone a simple guide towards not getting violations on our General NBA Board.

DO NOT

-Call out Moderators (For violation or locking thread)
-Direct attacks towards users or fanbases
-Make Unnecessary posts (IBTL, Your getting banned, get out of here, troll, etc.
[b]-Post Unnecessary GIFS that are meant to be jokes and thus derail discussion on the thread
[/b]

Howard, this is something that is not strictly enforced. I can go on the NBA General Board right now and find at least 3 gifs that are meant to be jokes.

Imo it shouldn't be considered an infraction but if you are going to make it a rule, its only fair that you enforce it on everyone.

I honestly have never seen a fight or argument break out over a gif cause everyone just laughs about it. If I said Dragic should be an all star and someone posted a gif like this one

I would laugh about it, not attack him. If I do argue with him, it would be the same way I would argue had he posted "Wow man, I don't think that a realistic possibility, are you serious?".

Gifs are a theme on every forum. Its the new "cool" thing to use. It used to be #hastags but now its gifs. It doesn't create arguments or fights, gifs only lighten the mood.
