shut up already. You're such a huge detriment to this board I can't even put it into words.

Just looking for consistent moderation and making a point. If doing so rubs someone the wrong way, so be it.

I concur that there needs to be some minimum standard for starting a new thread. My thread should be removed. The Jason Kidd thread should be removed. A picture of someone clapping or an emoticon face simply isn't enough to start a thread.

I'm using the minimum standards in starting new threads as shown by moderation or lack their of with regards to the Kidd thread.

All I'm trying to do is protect the integrity of the board. There has to be some standards when it comes to starting new threads. That is all I am attempting to do. My thread is doing nothing more than illustrating that need.
And yes, go Mavs.

Hey, I just expect better from this site. That is all. Some of you are ok with mediocrity.. it's apparent. I expect more from this site than what you'd hear from the average guy that calls in to the Hardline to talk basketball...

Here's the deal, Murph: The more established and respectable you become as a member on the forum, the more you can get away with when starting new threads.
LonghornDub is a well-established, respectable member of the forum. You are not.

So, I'm not respected by someone such as you or badfish or someone else? That really has no impact on me whatsoever. The people that legitimately know how great this forum has been in the past understand my point. I'm willing to make myself look like a jerk for the good of the board. That is fine especially if it means that we have less threads started with a guy clapping his hands.

The problem with this is then a lot of people won't post here because not everyone wants to watch 10 know-it-all geeks discuss the Mavericks like Trekkies discuss Star Trek. Why can't you have both? These boards are much worse off not being "fun" then they are with a lack of "intelligent" conversation. There are plenty of intelligent posts still being posted. If you have something intelligent, then post it. Stop bitching though, it's embarrassing, even for a fan board.
Lots of people come here just to root for the team. What is wrong with that? Longhorn was rooting for Kidd, big deal.

Well, how many threads with funny pictures do you see? Just one, and it was made in the euphoria of a great win and a 6-0 winning streak.

The other irony is that LonghornDub actually has some basketball knowledge. Murph used to write semi-entertaining rants on Stackhouse but they got old long before he left. Now Murph is just worthless and brings absolutely nothing to the table ever.
Unlike L-Dub.

One, seriously, one thread with a funny GIF and more funny pictures and animations to follow to celebrate Kidd's terrific game. I had a lot of fun with the game and I had fun afterwards with the well-chosen pictures and animations.
LonghornDub's thread wasn't detrimental to this board's quality, it was a creative addition to the ongoing and lively postgame discussion full of text. Why didn't you join that very discussion with intelligent remarks to enhance this forum's quality level instead of constantly bemoaning the lack thereof, Murphy? I'm not sure you're doing this board and yourself a favor with your plaintive tune.
As a side note, shouldn't we fans be allowed (or allow ourselves) to occasionally (!) celebrate a historic game from one of our greatest players? It doesn't have to be a scientific discourse 24/7. The exception to the rule can be quite refreshing.

This doesn't have anything to do with the Mavs.

The only thing that hinders this board from being great are the thread police like you and a few others. There is not a thread problem here at all. Even though there are 10s of thousands of members there are only like 20 of us that post on a consistent basis at all. Much fewer that ever even think of starting a thread. The trolls that do not contribute anything to this board and make stupid threads are weeded out and banned. I have thankfully seen this happen multiple times while here.

There are those that completely agree with my argument.. but why on earth would they want to speak out in any other capacity other than reputation or via message? As I mentioned, I don't mind taking it on the chin for the long term health of the board. Others would rather not speak out. That's fine.
Regardless, it's over and done with. The mods have spoken. Substance is no longer needed to start a new thread... end of story.

I think you need to look up the word "hypocrite".
I'm not convinced you know what it means.
And please quit pretending that you are doing this to improve the forum. You're just getting your jollies by stirring the pot.
I'm done with this nonsense.

I'm going to continue staying out of this one, but I find one thing quite humorous: this entire time, Murph has yet to discern the fundamental difference between my thread and his threads.
Hint: It's got nothing to do with who started the thread or forum reputation.

... it's a message board.
I mean, as long as we're having some fun and there's no malicious content being spewed around, what's the big deal? Just casually go to another thread.
