[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 914479, member: 1555"] I’m going to make a 40,000-foot observation rather than dive into details. I view all boards covering topics of interest to the GT fanbase as performing a service to our fan community. They enhance the fan experience by providing both an outlet for discussion and exchange of information. I have learned a lot about the sports I’m interested in from these boards, particularly GTSwarm. In return, lately I’ve tried to give back by sharing more information with fellow fans rather than just be on the receiving end. I believe we can help grow our paltry fanbase through positive experiences on message boards. All that to say that I want the fan experience on GTSwarm to continue to be informative and enjoyable. Posts that detract from that experience undermine fans’ enthusiasm, which is the last thing we need as a relatively small fanbase. As I’ve stated in another thread, I believe this board’s current rules strike a good balance between encouraging participation and attempting to minimize the sort of posts/posters that disrupt the average fan’s experience. The expectation should be that we behave like responsible adults when engaging other fans or addressing our S-As, and our rules should reflect that. [/QUOTE]
