We need some Mod-approved threads.

Moderate and Centrist … now where have we heard that before?

Listen end of the day, I'm just trying to stop the bickering and the ******** that constsntly gets spewed over and over again about COVID, Politics,etc. Keep all that stuff on the CE board where you can freely debate one another as much as you'd like.

From now on I'll allow the cancelled bowl threads and other stuff to go on this forum, but the minute you start taking pot shots at people over politics or COVID, no more warnings -- it will result in an IMMEDIATE ban.

If you have an issue in the future, please feel free to email me [email protected]

It's your website and ultimately, you can do what you want with it ... but even assuming the constant bickering should be prevented, I don't think it can be prevented. I alluded to it earlier in the thread, but turn on the television and political bickering is ubiquitous. Go outside and it's everywhere. If you go somewhere and people aren't bickering about politics, it's because everyone knows each other's politics and they are consciously avoiding each other. Go to a workplace in 2021 and you have either (a) uniform political ideology, (b) political bickering, or (c) silence because people are afraid of being fired. This isn't a Rutgers message board issue; it's an American societal issue. And to compound the issue, Rutgers University (and the Big 10) has shown proclivity to wade hip-deep into national politics, particularly involving the Athletics Department. The school itself has made it an impossibility to discuss Rutgers sports without discussing national politics (the clearest demonstration being the Covid 19 stadium rules).

Keep all that stuff on the CE board where you can freely debate one another as much as you'd like.

You put the CE board behind the paywall. Before it was behind the paywall, the vast majority of political bickering took place over there and not the free football board.

@sunsetregret does have a point about the paywall thing as I did chuckle when I read this…

I know you didn’t mean it that way, @Richard Schnyderite but it was a little amusing to see it. LOL

I often find only one political ideology wants to silence people that disagree with their POV.

Grown men and women on this site and some of you beg for threads to be locked. Really? Don't post in them. It's not RL.

What are you guys going to do at the Pep Rally Thursday if people start talking about COVID after downing some drinks and you disagree with their POV? Ask the bartender to throw us out?

Yes but not until after they stab that person with the vaccine they have in their pocket.

So what you are saying is very simple. It’s an ideological policy to satisfy one’s personal need? Happy New Year … Let’s Beat dem Demon Deacons.
