I’m assuming the most recent board update is still treating likes as one of several reaction options. Imagine if "disliking" was an option during ozzyman's legendary LeBron-fueled tantrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming the most recent board update is still treating likes as one of several reaction options. I fully support that, personally. The "Like" option is a good; anything else just leads to users sniping at one another via reactions, rather than engaging in an actual discussion. (As you can probably guess, I was one of those minority of Facebook users who didn't want a "dislike" button at all.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We ought to allow for Native American nickname/logo discussion on *sportslogos.net.* It isn’t “political.” It’s respect and dignity-based. Is banning discussion of other forms of racism in historical sports branding “political?” Seriously, would we ban discussion of a nickname or logo that disrespected black or Latinx people? 1 concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in the rules: Quote 4. No Discussion of Native American Team Name Controversies This topic, like various political topics, often devolves into name calling, straw man construction, and other assorted "tactics" not suitable in intelligent, mutually respectable debate.

Its been unofficially lifted several times before and the result is invariably the same - the pro-slur side cannot discuss without dismissing the other side and calling them “PC” or “libtards” or other nonsense, then claiming they’re the ones who are the real victims and being persecuted, then eventually saying that it’s a first amendment thing. It’s the same every. Single. Time. No need to repeat again when we’ve already lathered and rinsed a dozen times. 4 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

BBTV Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Holy crap - just saw the appeals thread. That's awesome. If I understand, the accounts have to have been banned for at least the past two years? So Tnak wouldn't be eligible? "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

That rule also means that VictoriaGooner, various low-level trolls, and Louie can’t come back. It does mean that guys like McCall, FunkyBunky, and ICS are A-OK. Of course, that all depends on how the mods feel about them. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Since there was never an appeals process, I'd personally let the dups thing slide for past bans, as long as it was only one dup, but I get it. I'd love to see the back-and-forth of an appeal - bet a lot of them would be pretty fun. 1 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Confused on how a banned user actually goes about submitting an appeal. Banned users can still read certain parts of the boards, like the general public can. I believe they can log in but they can't really do anything once they do. The appeal process is initiated by filling out a form that hosted externally from the boards, and it is posted in a forum that is readable by all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
