Very important question for the board

[MBHORNSFAN]

How should we handle sheep humper trolls on the board?

 

[Hoekem]

3 eyewitnesses and they bypass the legal system straight to the "Chamber"...Ron White (may he live long and prosper).

 

[Hoekem]

Also the same thing for Bama trolls as a few may try to infiltrate the ranks if the Saban rumors continue to heat up...

 

[Lord Vader]

For as long as I think im still the Sheriff around here, I encourage you all to do with them as you will. They have a place to go and do whatever it is they do if they dont like it.

Its pretty much like Kindergarten. They'll keep the decibel level down, they'll keep their hands to themselves, and if they should feel the need to get out of line, they get the treatment.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

If they're trolls, I say get rid of them.

If they are here and have cordial discourse, I don't have a problem with varying opinions.

 

[Lord Vader]

If you want to see a collection of some of the very best anuses College Station has to offer, go check out Mike's Twitter feed. I am shocked some of them had opposable thumbs to bang out their Fake Army venom at good ole Mr. Barnes...

This.

I've always thought Texags was a micrososm of the type of people that go to A&M. Basically a totally insecure community of people who cannot handle dissent or varying opinion. Shoot, they'll delete their own threads if the posts are too critical of their school/team/traditions/etc. Let's not ever be that way.

Obvious trolls should be cut off but people with unpopular opinions should be allowed to post away. We aren't like the Aggie police state boards and we can handle discussion even if it's not what we like to hear.

I hope most agree. Besides, it ultimately makes for a much more entertaining and real discussion/community.

Yep I am pretty well liked by all of them. LOL

i'm new here, so jmo and fwiw. Re trolls: OB is covered up with them, but it's similar to Shutter Island over there. Hard to tell who's in charge and what's real.

No offense, but this place probably isn't well known enough or has high enough traffic to feed the trolls. That's what they live for.

I'm also on a much smaller board that's invite only and we check each other. Debate is encouraged, just don't be an a-hole. Reasonable enough.

Anyway, nice site you have here. Hopefully y'all can keep it the way the originators want it.

 

[RealtorHorn]

Post a running list of definite trolls at the top of the forum "high in the streets" for all to reference and ignore in the future. Let's face it, they are miserable and misery loves company and hates being killed with kindness.

Thanks that's the goal

TexAgs is a mirror image of its leader.

TexAgs is a mirror image of its leader.

He is the head cheerleader of the glorified high school that is Texas A&M. I've said it before but it should be embarrassing that your school's lead academic cares more about taking pot shots at former athletic rivals than he does about you now, academics. But then you wouldn't be an Aggie if your entire identity wasn't based off of hating us or gravy training other schools' successes.

I have no problem slapping around the thin-skinned aggie trolls who are bold enough to enter our Free Speech Zone.

Bring 'em on! \m/

 

[skj7]

don't have a problem if they want to have a sensible discussion ( on second thoughts - aggie and sensible discussion does not sound right !!)

if they just want to troll then the mods should just boot them out of here

 

[Randolph Duke]

Does the site have an "ignore" function so members can ignore any and every post by a specified individual? My first thought is ignore them. My second thought is to use words with more than one syllable so they won't have any clue what we are discussing.

 

[theknighttrain]

Well-thought out opinions, or opinions with evidence to back it up should be tolerated.

Just being an ass? Then show them the door fast.

 

[Los Corralles]

Shoot them.

 

[Lord Vader]

Shoot them.

I like this poster.
