I like King, but he really deserves a short ban for making a thread like this (and the thread should be deleted). If you don't like Boxy, put him on your ignore list.

 

The discussion yesterday about growing the board? It's s*** like this that scare people away.

 

Agree with this.

Agreed, I appreciate feeling loved but a thread like this makes me cringe. Delete or get Gruber/RJF to make a post.

 

Or maybe Hurl can stop being eye-high full of s*** and tell me when I've ever intentionally or directly scared away a new poster.

Calling out King thread on it's way. (jk)

 

I love King even if his sentiments in this thread are genuine. Good guy, valuable poster.

Not necessarily directed at your post specifically, but I don't understand all the complaining people do about the forum. How many teams have a better message board community? We have tons of posters that have been here 5-10 years, GTDs that are anywhere between 500 and 3500 posts, 3 excellent forum dynasty leagues (and the BBDL), and a more intelligent level of conversation than you'll see almost anywhere that isn't an analytics based site. And regardless of what people like RJF say, new posters that don't act like complete morons are treated just fine.

 

Regarding this thread, the forum's sense of humour is a part of its draw to a lot of people. That King could post a tongue-in-cheek thread and not get banned is part of the appeal. I don't understand where people think the growth is going to come from. There are a limited amount of people that are a) Jays fans, B) want to discuss the game at a level higher than reddit or facebook fan pages, and c) like the humour and lax moderation. I think the community feel to the forum is probably a big reason why some of the best dynasty leagues you'll find are hosted here. Would this place be better with 25% more posters and strict HFBoards-style moderation? I don't think it would.

Agreed. I don't think we have any problem with new posters fleeing in terror. If they leave, it's probably because the level of analysis is over their head or they're intimidated by the sheer mass of posts here. IMO we don't even really need a routine influx of new posters, we have a vibrant community as you pointed out.

Yeah, I don't think we have anyone fleeing in terror. Quite the opposite actually. They act like idiots, get told to f*** off, die, etc..and then eventually get banned, only to return immediately with another account. They can't stay away. Anyone who comes here and acts relatively normal and stable gets treated just fine.

"People" is just RJF. He's the only person off the top of my head that I can remember ever making these complaints, and he's done it like 4 or 5 times.

 

I'd advise that he f*** off if this place isn't to his liking. Hurl can f*** off too.

This whole thread reads like a parody of something. Through the first page I thought I was missing out on some joke only to get here and realize it's real.

 

Huh.

I still think it's sarcasm. Hard to follow sometimes.

This is exactly why I feel strongly that this kind of thread shouldn't happen. I have no issue with banter in general.

The forum has the same internet problems that all do - insults, trolls, weird obsessives etc.

 

But the mods do a difficult job very well - if there was less moderation you'd have the bleacher report cesspool, if there was more you'd have the Orioles hangout wasteland.

 

Specifically related to Boxcar - he's the poster child for the internet personality of "if you have a different opinion to me, then you're a retard" but to be fair to him, he normally apologises if he goes too far, and he doesn't just shitpost.

Just STFU already and accept your 48 hour bann for what you and your divisive League of Dispair thread has done to this place!!! You Drove poor Lil King mad, mad I tell you because of your ego and lack of respect for others and the BJMB main forum page.

 

I will ask once more that this thread be locked, Deleted and you be banished from whence you came to think about all you have done in a Time out, learn to play nice or suffer like others have for far less at the hands of our Mod's!!!

 

Mod's please do not turn a blind eye and ignore this the BJMB's these wish!

 

Lock, Delete and Ban, make it so and make the BJMB and its main forum thread page Great again!

 

That is all and Thank you!!! 😊

There's only 1 or 2 posters I dislike here, and neither of them are Boxy. He's great and super informative. He's corrected me a few times on certain things I dwelled on a lot early this season and prior, and, as a result, I learned to try and research a bit more before posting my opinions.

The old forum was a lot worse.

If someone made a comment about some player 'not having enough RBI's'. the panel would go apeshit (Boxy, Nox, BTS and Dinger).

 

And God forbid if anyone engaged in FanGraphs denial. Every word is sacred.

I honestly can't tell if we're cool and you're joking, or if my skin will one day be hanging beside Boxy's in your closet.

I just assume everything King posts is sarcasm or some kind of inside joke.

And god forbid if you tried to deliberately get yourself banned. That mod was one incompetent sonofabitch.
