Mass Exodus Happening on tMB

Rivals is becoming hot weeping butt whole
On one hand it’s a good idea because they had probably 500 or so crazy people posting on tMB. On the other hand, Rivals created that monster by allowing the MB to do whatever for 15 years. I’m sure tMB will live on...but I bet they just lost a LOT of subscribers.
They have selective moderating and it’s bullshit. The whole Genmod thing is a joke.
Yahoo sucks and this is probably just a means to an end

Banned a lot of posters, removed a lot of threads, basically trying to follow in the footsteps of Twitter and other Big Tech programs.
However, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media networks are populated by either over active middle age individuals going through an identity crisis (Facebook) or left leaning narcissists who consider their word the next great American Novel (Twitter). Rivals community is a bunch of awkward dudes who like football. Trying to acquiesce to fit in, may alienate your membership.

Hopefully this means less politics on the MB. It was fine when politics was sprinkled in here and there. But the MB had become a political board 1st and sports a distant 2nd.
It’s a thread about tMB. The hell you talking about?
I have to agree. While I engage in political threads, it’s just about all there is anymore. Then again, tMB isn’t really a sports board either.
True, but it is something they should be aware of. I’m sure the rivals network talks every so often about how to improve the system. I’ve never been to the main board in my life but there are a lot of people who only use rivals for TMB. Just seems like a dangerous position to be in.

I can’t imagine anyone pays money JUST to post on tMB when so many other options exists. There are thousands of subreddits out there that are better than tMB.
but it does look like they are banning a lot of people. That place was like the Wild West.

The MB will survive, but this is what happens when you let recent college grads moderate adults... They may not always act like adults but that place is their escape from their real life, not the mods safe space where everyone gets participation trophies.
Agreed. It was a semi self fulfilling prophecy. While political talk is device it also attracts attention...ie, more likes, comments, whatever.
You make a post about how W Morris transferring, you’ll probably get 5-10 comments either mocking the OP or Tennessee.
You make a post about some random twitter check Mark’s thoughts on censorship and it’s a 5 page minimum thread.
Everyone on tMB needs to go meet up behind the old oak tree at recess and settle things.
Yeah it was at its best when it was a locker room / sports bar vibe to it. Hopefully the new rules aren’t enforced strictly and it goes back to being more casual. The tone of the board had gotten pretty toxic.
Half that board is banned from their home boards and only pays because of the MB. This will hurt rivals, but it usually builds back up.
You talking to me as the “he?” I just thought it was interesting. I’m not mad at all. Notice how I’m still posting? LOL.
Yeah, I’m probably going to unsubscribe from 247. If you mention Covid in a thread it gets deleted. If there’s a thread about it then it’s deleted. I don’t see how it’s political and unlike over here they won’t answer why the threads are deleted. People were trying to discuss and inform about the vaccines they were getting. Thread gets locked with 2 replies. After spending a week in the hospital that pissed me off. There’s a fine line between letting a board run crazy and being a damn nazi.
TMB has always been crazy. Fun to read though. If you get to strict people will leave.

I think you’d be surprised how many are here for your first sentence. Could be wrong, but that’s the vibe I get on tMB a lot. That could absolutely be “tough guy talk,” because they actually like CFB insider talk...they just don’t want to admit it.

Oh yeah, mod team here is so much better.
yeah, I guess I can understand that. You can normally pick up a year subscription to Rivals for like $50/year. But they can do everything they want on Reddit for free.
Agree quite a bit on your first response.
I think you’re way off on this assumption.
Maybe. just don’t understand it I guess. Reddit is 100x the size of tMB and free. Just go there.
I’ll say this, you guys here and @nikkichavanelle moderate pretty fairly and don’t over moderate. Good on you guys. You’ve created a place where MANY more people participate.
The old crew and now 247 over moderate everything and it’s just an echo chamber. only a handful participate and It’s a lame board. Joined and quit within 2 months

I’m fighting the good fight over there. Many silent members over there have taken up arms as well. Become apart of the change
I think it’s kind of like old people keeping their landlines.
I had to Google what a landline was but it turns out that might be a good analogy.

Does this have to do with possible changes to Section 230 in which companies might be held more liable for content posted on their websites/ platforms?
I’ve tried to give Reddit a chance but the interface is absolutely terrible to me. It looks like a site that hasn’t updated since 2002.
Yeah...but just spit balling here, but I think the push for section 230 alteration may backfire.
You make Twitter, rivals, Facebook...whomever...publishers, they’ll have to put mega restrictions of what you can and can’t say to avoid legal action, correct?

I only heard about it after Twitter banned Trump's account and Googled it to figure out what it was.
@jdr0269 I would tend to think you're right in that chances to that rule would require places to be way more strict on what is allowed.
I think with Trump gone the politics would go too. He was the entertainment.
People on TMB are nasty but the ability for people to say what they really think is kind of what makes it TMB. Homeboards are censored and kept on topic I think TMB should be what it wants.
