Read this before you FanPost

PrintMoratorium: a suspension of activity:
Alright I am tired of all the FanPosts that clutter up of the sidebar pushing off valid FanPosts that are informative. This includes: repeated posting of the same topic, sarcastic posts that really have no point other than to insult people you disagree with or are tired of, and most definitely a post that consists of IMAMORONIMAMORONIMAMORONIMAMORONIMAMORON (or your choice of filler) over and over to reach the word minimum.
So here is what will be done. If you post something that coudl easily be commented into another existing post (I.E. rosterbating) then I or royhobbs will summarily delete it and warn you. (Understand also that a warning isn't always us being a dick, sometimes I just use to inform you why I did something ebcause it gives you a message when you log on the site. So if I delete your post and warn you just understand that I am trying to keep things smooth and concise in the fanposts).
If you FanPost a sarcastic or insulting post that is directed at someone else, you are probably doing the same thing that we all get annoyed at them for so your post will be summarily deleted and you will be warned (probably in a dickish fashion).
If you post something without enough words and then use some stupid filler to make up 75 words then you shouldn't be posting in the first place. It isn't hard to put 75 words in a post. Hell each one of my paragraphs here probably has 75. So you know what will happen with these kinds of posts? They will be summarily deleted and you will be warned (in a dickish fashion).
If you have any questions feel free to email me or royhobbs or complain to Gondeee when he gets back from the EU.
Also I would like as many of you to REC this as possible so it stays on the fanposts for a while.

Thank You
I agree totaly
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
I guess ur right, It can get annoying.
But honestly, I don’t mind fan posts about trades that don’t have much possibility or what the person thinks that the team should do at that point in the season. I do completely agree with you that no one should make a post that is an inside joke or slamming another member of the blog. But honestly, if someone wanted to make a fanpost about what they saw frenchy doing when he was drunk after the game, I would love to read it. I don’t care if its relevant to the team, as long as it’s related to the team.

I agree
even though I think I am being called out a little (fanposts mocking others’ fanposts)

Considering how many times you’ve done it, you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself and Pujols
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yeah, I know
but, in my defense, I only posted sarcastic ’making-fun-of-other-people" posts twice…maybe my posts about UNC are still rubbing people raw….

I have pics of Gondeee in very unflattering situations...
Rules do not apply to me.
Please tell me you know I’m joking.
It would be different if I were known to rosterbate, but being a married man, there’s only one kind of “bating” that goes on in my life.

Text oft fails to convey the playful nature that words can sometimes have. I imagine the e-smirk on your face when making your witty remark, as I would hope you could imagine e-smirk on my face making my witty rebuttal. Besides, nobody wants to see ANY pics of gondeee in any capacity, so you’re doing everyone a disservice if you posted them.

So does that mean...

We all just got a hilarious e-mail from a dude who didn’t read this and was very angry that his fanpost talking about an extra ridiculous trade proposal was deleted. He talked about how none of us had the power to do anything, but the thing is…he sent it to gondeee too. Whoops.

the EMAIL
Just want to tell you and all of your pathetic fuckin little cronies Matt….to GO FUCK YOURSELF and to look in the mirror about posting stupid, worthless shit on the site! Hell…..anything and everything you four idiots have to say is so hypocritical it’s astounding and baseless considering how many times each have criticized others for not agreeing with you! How many times have you banned someone for their language…..even though the four or five of you can use it? A gee….better not disagree or defend myself against these guys attacks…or be banned.
So again….FUCK YOU and why don’t you really show me something by banning me from even visiting the site! Oh…that’s right none of you have the power you think you do and are just little punks that argue over the internet! Nice…you’ve all accomplished so much as the “authors” and “moderator” of this poorly run site! I almost forgot…did you need me to provide you with a definition of the word moderator????
And nice earrings…Hobbs….very sharp….I bet you have a bunch of boyfriends!!!
Sincerely,
Kyle

this email was actually from a guy that I banned earlier this month, bravesperspectivesince1982. Its like the the 3rd hate mail i’ve gotten from him lol.
lol, I love how he’s absolutely fixated on the fact that I have earrings. I don’t know if I should be flattered or creeped out at another man carefully studying my avatar so intently.
The best part is that despite the fact that he’s banned from the site, he continues to come and visit the poorly run site he apparently hates so much, and reads everything anyway.
btw, this EMAIL is in response to this particular fanpost.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
The Truth
Man with earrings = Man who has gay sex orgies and hates America. It’s just a fact. So take out your earrings and stop having gay sex orgies, and maybe you won’t be someone your parents are ashamed of. Just sayin’.

It’s how I cope with my own self-loathing.

Wait, so that’s really you in your avatar? Damn, I was hoping it was some chick that you were gonna post nude one day. That doesn’t make me gay, does it?

Shh
Don’t tell anyone that I’m really an attractive female who puts up a front because I just want to fit in with the boys and talk baseball, and that I had bigjoe cover for me by claiming some random person catching a foul ball was me.

Topical weekly posts?
I don’t think we need anything special for minor league prospect talk, as the daily minors update is the proper place for that. But how about having a weekly rosterbation post so that people can have a release? We only invite trouble when we force people to abstain from rosterbating.

or you could let me make my sarcastic posts
when you guys see that it was me posting, you would know that it is all sarcasm and not serious, and when the others see it, they will think it is serious and proceed to comment there without actually creating fanposts of their own to annoy us all with.

Someone care to explain what rosterbating is to someone who’s relatively new to the blogosphere? I’m assuming talking about who we should trade or who should be in the lineup/rotation?
Yes. It’s when somebody proposes a trade (or 5) and then proceeds to show how their dream lineup would play out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these rosterbatory scenarios that actually panned out, and they usually are just so ridiculous that they’re not even worth reading. It’s fun to think about what could be, but the site is really more about talking about the Braves, not the Fantasy Braves.

PLEASE make this a sticky!
Why SB Nation didn’t come up with something to allow bloggers/moderators/authors to post permanently fronted content is beyond me. Well said Matt and thanks!
You aren’t the czar of typographic emphasis
The minute this post gets bumped, Matt can re-post it pretty easily. It only takes 5 recs to get it back up on top.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
evidently, it needs to be front page, top story
people are STILL posting dumb shit.
