What happened to this board rule?

RGGeemer

It took the weekend off.

Weekend?

Good point. I think the rule itself is sitting this one out

Doesn’t matter. Now hyper focused on petty political suspensions and other suspensions related to pet projects.

Maybe jefe can help us understand

It's become so rampant that it can't be moderated? Sad but likely one reason.

I don't think that rule can exist on a college spots message board. I think it's more a justification for the last

The Mods are already bad and you want them to do more?

Grock

Sep 9, 10:10am

Not talking about the mods at all. People can follow rules without policing.

I would say a vast majority of the "negative" comments since Friday

I've seen a few. More of them on Sitake and ARod.

He didn't include the part of the rule that says we allow more criticism of coaches

Most of the feedback is supporting the team by identifying need changes

Would like CB 100x more if this rule were enforced.

Most posts we've seen - particularly about Retzlaff - fit the "constructive criticism that explores the weaknesses as

Sep 9, 11:17am

We've deleted several posts for excessive negativity, especially towards players

El Jefe

Sep 9, 11:24am

Why not just make a separate category for complaining?

well, now that they are paid performers, aren't they open to criticism?

Technically, they can't be paid for performance (yet)

I’m sorry, this board still has moderators?

It would appear that you have misconstrued posting facts and constructive

tkh9

Sep 9, 11:51am

It's gone way overboard the past 3-4 days - well past facts and constructive

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 11:54am

Any examples?

Sep 9, 11:57am

Don't see anything from you that crosses the line. But there are plenty of

Fair enough

Would saying that Jake is the worst byu qb of all time be considered to be

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 9, 2:21pm

I would say yes. Hyperbolic and unhelpful

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 2:38pm

It’s not hyperbolic if it’s true though. I’m still waiting for someone to point

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 9, 3:04pm

He's obviously not the worst byu QB in history. That's just crazy talk.

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 3:05pm

He has about the same passing efficiency as

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 3:15pm

He has a slightly better passing efficiency than Jake Heaps

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 3:17pm

Also higher than these notable players:

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 3:21pm

Ok you have to throw a lot of those out

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 9, 3:25pm

162 in 2006, but 112 if you include 2004

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 3:32pm

Ah that’s fair then

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 9, 7:14pm

So Jake is definitely not the worst qb in byu history. Hyperbolic and unhelpful

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 8:15pm

I mean we just looked at passer rating. We could do turnovers next if you want.

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 9, 8:20pm

If you want. Ty Detmer threw 65 INTs

RGGeemer

Sep 9, 8:26pm

Heaps 114. Retzlaff now 115. So you’re right (for now).

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 9, 3:22pm

If you were discussing his stats, that would be fine

El Jefe

Sep 9, 3:01pm

Rule$ are $elective?

There truly and literally aren't really "rules" on CB per se

Even the mods want Retzy benched.
