A Couple Community Reminders
Gonna keep the intro short so not to take up space. Just posting a few rule reminders that I felt needed restated.
Read on please
1. The difference between fanshot and fanpost-
A fanshot is something like a link to an article, a video, a photo, or something you're interested in and want to share with the community here at S&BP. Things like these are to be kept in the fanshots section unless they're part of some piece like an article or musing.
Articles and musings are where fanposts are to be kept and just that. Things like images, videos, and links are to be kept in fanshots only unless they're just part of a writing piece. Please adhere to this as we'd like to keep the fanpost for articles and other such things and relatively unflooded of what should be fanshots.
2. No racism-
In no shape or form will racism be tolerated. The post or comment will be deleted and you will find yourself warned or banned. That's absolutely unacceptable.
3. No personal attacks or bashing-
Disagreements are fine and in fact encouraged. This is a site for sports debate and team support. I understand things can get very heated. However, personal insults are unacceptable. Not only does it make you seem weaker in your argument, it is not welcome on this site and you will be warned or banned and your post deleted.
Comments like "you're retarded" are incredibly rude. We want a calm friendly environment where readers and posters alike can feel free to visit and post without any hassle or insults. We want this to be a site people can go and tell their friends about, not one where they tell their friends to stay away.
4. Type coherently-
Posts SUCH as how i am typing RIGHT NOW!!!!! Are hard to READ and follow.
Typos and technical difficulties are excusable and understandable. We all have days where we can't type straight or our computer or mobile device just isn't cooperating with us. Just don't make it a permanent thing or it comes off as spam.
5. Don't troll-
Don't come here just to flood the fanposts with spam, insult and abuse users, or be an overall annoyance. If the community complains enough about you or one of the mods or Saint feel it necessary to, you will be banned.
6. Profanity-
I get it most of the people posting here are adults and of course profanity wil be thrown around. I only ask it be light in frequency of use and in terms of word choice. A couple d words here and there is perfectly fine, but multiple and frequent F bombs is intolerable. You may be warned or banned for excessive profanity.
However, game threads and specified Rant posts are the perfect place to unload those frustrations. In those specified areas, by all means in those areas you may let loose. However, the rules of trolling, racism, and personal attacks are still in effect and the punishments for those still applicable.
7. Flagging-
Flagging a post or comment is what you, the community, can do to make the jobs of Raymond, BA, noontide, Rated R, LiveAdam, RaiderWay, and Sons of Blanda, and myself a whole lot easier. If you think someone is violating site rules, please click the actions button at the bottom of a comment and click flag (flag button should already be at the bottom of a fanpost or fanshot).
From here you can tell us what that user has done to violate site rules or what they have done to offend you. One of us will review the flagging and make a decision as to what course of action to take. No one on the site will know if you have flagged anything except for the moderators. We won't release info of you flagging, this is anonymous. We will get back to you on what our course of action is via email.
If you don't wish to do it that way, just send one of us an email and we will get to it ASAP. I strongly urge the community to flag anything they find troubling or in violation of site rules. You do have a say here, and you can make a difference. We want to make S&BP fun and enjoyable for you in any way possible so please feel free to speak up.
Thank you for reading, and please, have fun here at S&BP, the site made for, of, and by Raider Nation.

Your alright, even though your half left!!!!
I want to be the modern day version of Super Mario Brothers!!! Dont care for *shrooms*, but would love to *get large* and *spit fire*...unless im constantly told "thanks, but your girl is in another castle". That would rate a 8.9 on the ole *Suck-ometer*!!!

Please type coherently, thanks.
I'd like to add if I may
use the ‘rec’ button if you like a comment or post. Enough rec’s and a comment is highlighted and a fanpost or shot gets elevated to a ‘recommended fanpost.’ And for you lurkers, this may be the best way you can contribute.
thanks for the write-up KA1Z3R!

Disagree. I really love this blog the way it is. I really hate the Chiefs blog.
There is a mod there by the name of Wooddyman who has itchy fingers. Makes the visit quite unpleasant as you will be suddenly warned if you try to pop their largely optimistic bubble. Even if you don’t attack them like say profanity or a personal attack, they will ban you if you talk “bad” about the Chiefs.

I've got to be honest. I like it.
They make an ass of themselves and we get to make fun of them for it. As long as they don’t start talking amongst themselves about their business, which happened a couple of times, I am fine. Chiefs week is like hunting season.

If my writing stlye(the use of Italics)........
is against the rules of this site, forgive me!!! I never knew that, and the fact of the matter is, I prefer using Italics !! I always have, and since I have written official reports for the State, and counties in the bay area, i never have recieved any negative responses in my writing style !! To the contrary, the response was all positive !!!
This is a sad comment. Reminds me of Samson shorn

As much as you can be an ass sometimes
I can appreciate that you have a preference, and it appears you don’t mean to be a nuisance with the italics.
As much as I am a fan of the first Amendment, and I believe you have every right to post in that font, I would only hope you save the italics for when your posts are less than a full paragraph long. When you’re typing 5 page essays in italics, it can get pretty unbearable sometimes. It’s not always YOU per se, but the italics do appear to have an effect on the html code on the blog which causes every post after yours to have italics too.

I wasn’t specifically addressing you, in fact I have no problem with your use of italics. I’m just talking about people who do all those bold, all caps, exclamation point heavy posts that are impossible to read. Check other SBNation sites and it won’t take you long to find one. Just something I felt needed to be made clear about after my tour of other sites.

Villapiano will object to most of these greatly.
as for me, it’s understandable.

Thank You Spirals, Sons as for your response.......
I’m not to sure of it’s meaning, unless your talking about Sampson getting his hair cut !!! But far as the Italics, again if it’s agains the rules of the house, I can and will comform , because of all the sites I’ve visited, this feels like home, especially the debates !!! Feels like Family, you know !!!
Yes, it does, Papa
I miss the italics though….feel like taking them up myself.
yes, Samson’s haircut it was.

As long as we don’t respond, I think he’ll go away, and find somewhere else to try and advertise his vids(or get them more recognition).

Trolling by dead people by saying they “resembled jabba the hut” on a news story about someone’s demise.
His comments on this post which SonsOfBlanda actually defends is pathetic.
or here where he insults a member… I quote

Honestly
I am probably the worst offender of at least 2 of the points. I will understand if I get yanked. I push the envelope but I never back down from what I believe and often I say it as a defense mechanism. As for Al’s SlingRoomMan I will say who cares? Who gives a shit? Who gives a gargantuan fuck what he thinks or says. His comment to me which I did not see until now was put out of context at the bottom of another comment which had nothing to do with anything I said to him. He hid it in a comment so he could not hear the slicing retaliation and avalanche of truth to come his way in my response. My response is “he is once again spineless and still cannot back up anything he says as an attack to them”.

Have your guardian explain to you the distinction between defending free speech in the form of an aurgument and defending the commments per se
Though it was in very bad taste (though not necessarily an all-time low for Al’s Wingman) it’s an argument, not random insult In a free country, Jake, freedom of thought and expression must be held sacred. I’m not endorsing what he said and I wouldn’t consider sleazy (K.C.esque) rhetoric or defamation under the same free-speech umbrella as "argument" … which is where Wingnut’s comment falls.

Multiple people flagged it and nothing was done.
From here you can tell us what that user has done to violate site rules or what they have done to offend you.

Here's Wingman's argument (not that I agree with it but it is an argument when you examine it)
Young people who eat charred meat and swill liquor eat badly.
Young people who eat badly die young.
Therefore, young people who eat charred meat and swill liquor die young.
Mr. P ate charred meat and swilled liquor, therefore, Mr. P ate badly, therefore he died young.
This is not the same as defamation, obscenity, insurrection or any other unprotected form of speech.
Despite it’s gross premises (and the context in which it appeared) it is an argument and on this blog we make and develop arguments.

This is a form of trolling, This is not a constitution law class. We are on an internet forum.
I already quoted this but i will do it again.
KA1Z3R just said the definition is as follows:
Don’t come here just to flood the fanposts with spam, insult and abuse users, or be an overall annoyance. If the community complains enough about you or one of the mods or Saint feel it necessary to, you will be banned.
We were insulted and abused by that post and nothing was done. You insinuated I was emotional for speaking the truth on the matter.

There were also many who expressed their respect for Mr. Patterson and their best intentions for him and those who loved him
But you want to focus in on the eccentric comment and make a mountain (or a windmill) out of it. So, “We were insulted and abused.” Well, there’s a lot of that on any sports blog. You can’t go around asking that people be banned because they are insensitive. The squeamish types given to womanly hysterics won’t last very long in this sometimes brutal environment; an environment that often reflects the very brutal game we all love.

I never said ban anyone
That was KA1Z3R in this post… which is why I didnt say much about it at the time.I didn’t think it was against the rules like you had said in your response.
According to this post it clearly IS against the rules. We are suppose to flag these to get it corrected; not to proliferate ignorance. I thought it was your job to help people who had a problem with something that was inflammatory. You actually can ask for help here… that is I post on a moderated board. What does Al’s opinion about getting fat and dieing have to do with raiders football or the people who cover it?
If i wanted to see chaos and insults I would hang out on the ESPN raider board. Not a mod in sight…
Silver and Black Pride has some great content and hard working people writing for it so i would rather browse here any day over that. I just don’t think his comments have a place here according to these ground rules laid out in this front page post though.

I'm not saying there are no limits, only that we be careful not turn erode into something like
Bolts from the Blue or Arrowhead Pride where trivial banalities are the norm and reason- backed statements delivered with an edge are expunged by Jack-booted-censors. The difficulty is drawing the line and we all have varying standards and hot-buttons. Anyway, Saints been doing a remarkably good job by showing, I believe, restraint on the side of tolerance as opposed to the possible slippery-slope of dictatorial censorship.

the KC “guest” in the house. I never once directly interfered with your assaults on Potatoguy b/c he can handle himself and it isn’t my affair. But, your treating him like a dog while chumming with the enemy drew my two comments.

Love Fest?
Because the guy came into the blog I wrote and showed some class and wasnt trolling? I went into AP and told him, just as my blog stated, I hate the fucking Chiefs, but admired him for his devotion and the frank and honest info he brought with him, unlike so many other asshats from AP..and these douches from the Jags…hmmm..sounds like something you had said in the past, neh? Fuck the team but respect the fans…when we were playing Steelers? So he came back over and thanked me. Chumming with the enemy? Mutual respect with a non troll doesnt merit that. But if you think so, whatever. To me, patboy is a juvenile ass. Just no tolerance for him. And that seems to be the crux of the problem. Sorry, too much time as a Raiders fan, 22 years of the Navy and 16 years of teaching has left me without patience for what I consider uninformed posts. Obviously, that’s in conflict with all and sundry who feel he is a savant when it comes to Oakland. I had a couple of e-mails today from Spirals asking me not to leave the blog. Nice gesture and from someone I respect…but really..stay here and get broadsided every time I react and allow, what i have read in here and also read in the blogs, far more insane shit by Al’s Wingman? Not here to have drama…here to talk about my team and my passion for it. To me patboy is a troll…He adds nothing to the discussion and his attitude towards me in jumping in my blog and being an asshat right off the bat just called for a spanking. But that’s ok…so all I can say is let’s see how it rolls at RAIDERSFAN.net.

I did not troll at all.
if you mean the VERY first post you made, I just asked you to show some respect to kansascity, who has blogged here well, and was well respected for a chiefs fan(just like how you were respecting that one chiefs fan in the later post that blanda is referring to).
Vill, you hate me due to my dual relationship. I try time and time again to blog, and add to discussion, but you keep butting in, and throwing in an insult. For example: I asked the Chiefs fan, “What gameplan are you talking about?”
You respond:
‘What plan are you talking aboout? (gigglegiggle)’
it’s not Plan Nine from Outer Space, ma-roon, The fucking game plan we ran on SD. This is why youre not taken seriously. You have to live at home…I can’t see you functioning in the world. I won’t disparage other 19 year olds because I have a nephew going thru Bud/S in Coronado who is more conscious than you when he’s asleep.
My first comment on that post, I gave an opinion on the situation:
eh whatever.
Knock the chiefs down a notch in the division record. Chargers won’t do anything. as far as I know, they are pretty much out of the playoffs, unless they win the rest of their games.
To which you respond:
Did you grow up on a penis farm?
To me youre just a little dick…begone TuckRule boy…
I try to talk football, but you make it VERY difficult with your verbal attacks on me, where there is no reason.

KansasCity has dirty hands and I resented your taking his side. He posted
some of the worst drivel ever and a dozen lewd pictures of a sleazy nature.
As for Villapiano41 and Christmas, why don’t you just return fire, i.e take the offensive instead of being defensive b/c when you’re on D, as you know, it’s much harder to score.

because it won't do anything.
I can say all I want. His main hate is me being a pats/raider fan. Nothing I can do there. If he hates me for that, then I can’t do much at all, besides yell, swear, and come up with snappy insults. Which don’t solve anything.
All I can do really is ignore him, even though he probably won’t ignore me. If it has to do with football, I’ll comment on his posts. I won’t comment on any posts that personally attack me. I’ll gain nothing in the end, and it would be a waste of space.
Plus, I remember you softening up to kansascity. I know you deeply hated him at first, but you eased up with him. ;)

Understandable
The lines are very gray in color of where they cross into censorship and where it is just over the edge. There are rules for every place and when the rules are well defined we must follow or chose to not participate. The “rules” as defined here are subjective and conduct is not easily defined. Ignoring those that are ridiculous, racy, offensive etc etc is a good choice but hard to follow as response to such is the norm and ability to resist is difficult.

I always thought of
that they would protest, because they have never been exposed to them as children, therefore, it threatens their way of living. They think it’s “not normal,” and therefore not right(then I also wrote a part in a paper about the definition of normality).
Change is a good thing. AT one point, people were uneasy about girls wearing boys clothing. Now society has adjusted. Know why? because kids were expose to them more, and thought nothing of it.
The whole emo thing. People once thought that style was stupid, and it invited bullying and such. Kids are adjusted to that style now, thinking nothing of it.
Even at one point, being gay is something people were against strongly. because of this, kids who were gay were struggling with their lifestyle, and committing suicide. Now, kids are accepting other kids about their sexuality. They don’t care if another kid is gay, they accept who they are.
People feel threatened from their way of life. In the instance of censorship, I find it stupid that because a few people have not been exposed to them at all, immediately disagree with them, instead of looking at different points of view.
Lines should be drawn on some cases, but only morally.

In the post KA1Z3R said:
Don’t come here just to flood the fanposts with spam, insult and abuse users, or be an overall annoyance. If the community complains enough about you or one of the mods or Saint feel it necessary to, you will be banned.
Why is that dude exempt when he is insulting the grieving family of my friend Patrick?
I got emails from his cousin asking me to take off his comment and i felt so bad because i had no power to do so.
Al’s Wingman doesn’t know this man or anything about how he lived or died to have that be a fair opinion.

I never read Wingman's comment until now.
I too have defended him but that definitely sounds like trolling to me. There is freedom of expression but when it does not merit a positive response from anyone than that is the point where one needs to be silenced.
Trust No One
Studies show stress can kill you, but don't worry about it.
I apologize lonnes as I was…..taking a break from the site during this time and was not around for this incident.
Please send me an email if/when this happens again at ka1z3r_34@yahoo.com. I don’t check everyday but will be sure to take proper action once it is checked.
I’ll be back around here for a good while if only for the purpose of just modsmanship. Once again i apologize lonnes but I’m here now and posted this as a warning for some users on here (no names mentioned) who maybe didn’t know the specific rules. Instead of just leaving the site for a month or two for things to just cool down, I’m here now to keep others from ever feeling they need to do the same.
Once again I’m very sorry for the trouble and inaction lonnes.
The Sunkist Kaiser, most epic thing since the Grizzly BLAAAAAAAIR! Relax, play, and drink Sunkist! Your Kaiser commands it.
also you will notice that his comment is now deleted and he has been warned. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I encourage you to continue flagging posts and emailing me or another mod. You can make a difference on this site and i insure you that your voice will not go unheard.

Consider him banned:
When I learned of Patrick’s passing it sent me into a very personal mourning. I am also 38. I have been blogging for over 10 years and I see a lot of me in him. For someone to troll on a memorial is the lowest form of life.
Al’s Wingman has the distinction of being the first person EVER banned by me. having been a blogger for years, I understand that these sites become part of our lives. These arguments really happen. Emotions get carried away and you will always have a contrarian (sp). But to insult someone who passed away on a public memorial is beyond anything I could ever defend.

My understanding of a troll
is an avatar that is not really a fan of the team, but someone either posing to be a fan for some stupid reason (I’ve seen this among Chief’s fans), or some haters in here just to talk smack without talking about football at all. I have no use for either of those, but haven’t seen any in here yet.
The Autumn Wind is here. Time to set sail.
The term 'trolling' on web forums ...
Is generally accepted to mean "purposefully saying stupid shit to get a rise out of the other participants’.
It’s generally equivalent to being an attention-whore.
Ergo, one need not be a fan of another team in order to be a troll.

Ha ha! It appears I missed out on all the fun!
Love you all! Happy Holidays, and as always:
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else."--John Madden
""The massive Raider Nation is beyond doubt the sleaziest and rudest and most sinister mob of thugs and wackos ever assembled."--Hunter S. Thompson
Same from here. :)
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
These players, a lot of other people didn't believe in them, but they believe in themselves. And that is all that matters."- Bill Belichick
I'm also a Raider Fan dammit!!! RAIDER NATION!!!!
Hey PG2, VILLA ......
Maybe if you 2 can appreciate the similarities you have in common, and abide the differences, then maybe a truce can be formed !!! (Spirals, is that the right word to use in this context ???) Anyway, you both have great passion for the Raiders, which bring all of us together !!! Just putting that out there !!! Like Brhynno, I hope everyone in the S&BP, has Happy Holidays !!! Even you Zealot the Idiot !!! JK, maybe !!!
