New posters recommendation thread

[Urkie]

What about legrandplayer4? He seems OK. Maybe Urk can invite him?

Yeah, he's been on E*PN a long time. Probably as long as I have.

I sent him an invite.

 

[naslundfan19]

nostyle might be tough. Can't send him messages. Voltaire has been invited.

 

[TOX1]

I sent him an invite.

He didn't know what a message center was, so I pointed him in the right direction.

 

[naslundfan19]

Voltaire is here!

 

[naslundfan19]

DH is close, it looks like!

agriculturegnome32 looked like a pretty solid poster...

I keed, I keed

 

[Predsfan22]

[dare2be]

Im not as enamored with Tootoo as I was when I made that name. Not his fault really, coaches are trying to take an agitator and turn him into a playmaker.

DavNLaguna is here!

Are you constantly on the members list page?

 

[naslundfan19]

No, just notice who's online at the bottom of the main page

These guys might be hard to find, but sabresfaninthesouth, Joelo, and pandolph are good posters. Also has anyone invited ALLPHILLYSPORTS? He seems like a good guy.

The only part of this whole process I don't like is the "selection". There are tons of good posters, and I'm sure even more good lurkers that we're going to miss.

 

[naslundfan19]

I invited SJSharks539. Anybody have any objections?

 

[postmaster]

I agree with all sabresfaninthesouth, Pandolph, AllPhilly and SJSharks.
Don't know enough about Joelo but I trust your judgement Eddie

 

[naslundfan19]

klyper has been invited, correct?

 

[Eddie_Shack]

I haven't seen Joelo in a while, he might be gone. But he was a very good poster, very good with stats. Him and Darkstone could be best buds

We're being a bit cautious at the moment, but I see it opening up a bit once we get more established (or sick and tired of recruiting, lol)

the TransporterRoom was an initial attempt to lure people in without actively recruiting.

Here's my take on the other place. The two biggest problems were lack of GOOD moderation, and lack of posters having the self control to ignore the idiots who may not have violated the TOS and been "bannable", but were there to attract negative attention and nothing else. Now we have good moderation, but any board can fail if it lacks one of those two important aspects; good moderation, and self control. Now eventually, some clowns are going to find this board and say some dumb things. If they spam, make racist comments, or are obviously looking to be vulgar or troll, yeah you can ban them. But I don't think you can ban someone for constantly making dumb, uninformed, homeristic, or ignorant posts. I suppose you COULD ban them, but I'm kind of against that. In theory, we should be able to post a link to this place right out in the open, and between moderating the twits and ignoring the tools, not suffer in terms of board quality.

Basically what I'm saying is, we have a good thing going right now. But if the same posters fall into the same traps and feed the trolls, this place will look exactly like the old one. Maybe the moderation will keep it from being AS bad, but if every thread eventually gets hijacked because people can't stop themselves from responding...

 

[BLOODWINGZ]

Voltaire, automatic and bloodwingz are on my radar.
Blood knows but is slacking.

Hey I'm old & hate change ............. I'm here & thanks for the invites.

I got about a dozen of them.
