Cleaning up the board

[DMoney]

Hey everybody,
We've all noticed a decrease in the quality of discussion since the spring game.

This has happened before (most notably after the Kansas State game), and we are going to do the same thing that we always do when quality goes downhill. For the next few weeks, the mods will be aggressive in dealing with thread-jacking, flaming, personal insults, and other forms of dumb posting. This can and will include bannings, some of which have already taken place.

Please keep this in mind, especially if things don't go our way on Friday. I hate to keep anybody from posting, but we need to do what we need to do to keep this as the best 'Canes board on the internet.

[TXCane]

Sounds good

 

[RBhurricane87]

I would gladly pay a reasonable amount of money to use this site if it meant weeding out some ****** posters and trolls.

 

[Southcane]

Thank you!
What do you think of added transparency with names of banned posters (with banning periods) listed in a pinned thread? Is that a bad idea?
I think it may serve as a deterrent, what do you guys think?

 

[Golden Era]

entirely understandable, you gotta do what ya gotta do.

 

[JHallCanes]

I'm putting cases on all you *******.

I added this to the football board thread but I am re-posting here...

I would like the MODS to take into consideration all of the homophobic slurs and insults being thrown around. I am tired of having to log in to read about a recruit and read about him being "a ******", "*****", "***", etc. Would MODS allow people to use racial slurs? Would they allow recruits to be called the N word or the like? I don't see why bigoted, hateful speech like this gets a free pass. I am a life long canes fan, a hard working Miami native, and I have many friends and family who I would defend to the fullest if I heard that kind of language in the street. No need for it here.

You wonder why recruits get upset and don't want to play for certain fan bases smh
