Announcement

[Phil]

Dear SoonerFans.com friends,

We're glad you're here. Anybody who has posting privileges on this board has them because they bring more to the board than they take from it, and the staff believes in them. Our belief, though it may be shaken at times, is that each and every person currently posting here is or has the potential to be an excellent poster. We felt that way last week, last month, and last year.

People who through the years have been permanently dis-invited from SoonerFans are in that position because they ultimately convinced us that they harbored more bad intentions than good. Unfortunately, those judgment calls are part of what we have to do here.

But here is what we now ask of everyone: as much as we've recently analyzed our own posting and moderating styles, please do us and the board the courtesy of doing the same. Think about how you post, and why you post that way. Do you reject or attack someone's posts based ONLY upon your dislike for that person? That's probably not a healthy posting philosophy for you, for the other poster, or for the board in general. Do you do things that you know are questionable JUST to see if you can get away with them? Please stop.

Perhaps foremost, if you truly want to improve the tone of the board, we ask that you take your policy concerns offline to the moderators, admins, or the HMFIC. While we have valued recent opportunities to discuss our moderating/admin philosophy in an open forum, and hope you appreciate the attention that we have given everyone's questions, we feel that encouraging/responding to those open-forum discussions on an ongoing basis only leads to misunderstanding, hurt feelings, and divisiveness. However, NOT responding to them and instead letting them take on a life of their own, festering like an open sore, curiously has the same effect.

Therefore, from now on, questions or comments regarding board policy will be deleted, with an encouragement to direct your concerns through the proper channels. Threads on the subject will be locked or deleted. Old threads, bumped to bypass this rule, or signatures, locations and anything else deemed an attempt to make a comment regarding board policy, will earn the same treatment. We truly DO want your opinion on the way we do things, but hashing and rehashing this in an open forum and talking around in circles only seems to be more aggravating to everyone involved.

Also, as a part of our software tune-up, we’ve added some moderating tools to help achieve the most objective, consistent approach possible. In a nutshell, they involve an infractions system of yellow cards (warnings) and red cards (point-accruing violations). Some points expire, while those earned by more serious abuses can stay with a poster forever, effectively placing him on a permanent “short leash.” When a poster earns a set number of points, the board software automatically bans the user until the points have expired. This is an action brought by the poster himself through points accrual. A yellow card, or even points and/or a temporary ban should always be viewed as a warning.

These things by themselves will not cause a permanent ban, but a pattern of destructive posting behavior will. Of course, we still reserve the right to remove offending posts or posters at any time with or without warning, should we become convinced the poster means to harm this board, its posters, or their overall SoonerFans experience.

The rules violations for which you can receive warnings or infractions points include, but are not limited to:

* Bashing current players
* Whining about reputation
* Flamebaiting, including in signatures and avatars
* Posting inappropriate pictures (non-porn)
* Posting inappropriate pictures (porn)
* Personal attacks on members
* Hidden personal attacks via PM or reputation feature (spek comments)
* Stalking other posters
* Whining about mods/admins
* Posting drunk
* Erroneously reporting posts (post reporting is reserved for rules violations)
* Opposing team troll
* Spam

And perhaps most importantly:

* ****ing off Dean

Also, this might be a good time to review the forum rules that you agreed to upon your registration. They can be found anytime in the FAQ section of the site.

Sponsors will get an automatic break on the points, as their point thresholds are higher than non-sponsors for sanctions to be imposed. That said, as always, being a sponsor does not relieve you of the board rules. We ban sponsors and non-sponsors alike if they misbehave, and the policy is that no refunds for sponsorships are given if you are banned due to your own actions on the board.

As always, any help you guys can give us in making this a better board is sincerely appreciated, and we thank you for being a part of the SoonerFans.com community.

Your friends,

Phil and the SoonerFans.com mods and admins

[soonerbrat]

[olevetonahill]

Cool. Now, how do I become a sponsor?

Click some dayum ADs :P

[frankensooner]

I promise to change my ways, sorry mods and admins!!! :D Thanks Phil.

[BigRedJed]

Heh. "Posting drunk" and "****ing off Dean" are obviously a little bit tongue-in-cheek. I think the main point is for all of us just to do our best to post in a good way, certainly, and remember that we're all Sooner fans here. Well, except for Lid.

[Jerk]

Dayum. Goodbye drunkytown threads :sad:

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Well Im screwed . Im usually drunk when I post .:O
Cept Now Im sobre.
I like this Board over Most all the others Ive been on .
Good Jorb .I think in your case you aren't supposed to post while sober. ;)

[mdklatt]

Can we get an explanation of this points thing? Like, how do we know how many points we have? How long do they last? How many points until you get baned?

[OKLA21FAN]

* Posting drunk

is this a .08 or something else? and can we request a blood test? :pop:

[olevetonahill]

Dayum. Goodbye drunkytown threads :sad:

Glad being a smarta** is still ok :cool:

[olevetonahill]

I think in your case you aren't supposed to post while sober. ;)

Thank ya fer the Esplaine .
Had Me worried That i wasnt long here :D

[MR2-Sooner86]

* Posting inappropriate pictures (non-porn)

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

There are inappropriate pictures that are "not" porn!? Why didn't somebody tell me!? I've been spending all these years on the internet JUST looking at porn when there were other sick twisting things out there I could be watching!?!? What a shock!

And oh yeah, I guess I'll be good. Thank God this thing censors out my post automatically so there goes any **** that I can **** up real ****ing good. **** I swear a whole ****ing bunch.

Anyway, I'll be good.

[Widescreen]

* Bashing current players
That means Bassey and Hybl are still fair game! Huzzah!

;)

[Civicus_Sooner]

I am the walrus coo coo ca choo.

I got nuthing. <<<Always wanted to use that line.

[BigRedJed]

Geez, man. It's "goo goo ga joob."

[OU4LIFE]

The rules violations for which you can receive warnings or infractions points include, but are not limited to:


* Posting drunk


this is because of my Vegas thread isn't it?

pray tell, how ELSE was I supposed to update a blog while in Vegas...


;)

[NormanPride]

Can we still call Pat "Pat"?

[badger]

Hmm...

* Bashing current players
Hays McLonghorn! Hays McLonghorn! (fortunately, he has graduated)

* Whining about reputation
You know what stinks about reputation? GREEN squares. Shouldn't a SOONER board have CRIMSON squres for good reputation?

* Flamebaiting, including in signatures and avatars
So does this mean I have to take out the part about me loving NormanPride more than the Sooners and baiting you guys to ban me?

* Personal attacks on members
Sic Em is a Baylor fan. :eek:

* Hidden personal attacks via PM or reputation feature (spek comments)
Those shouldn't count, because you don't hear soliloquys in Shakespere.

* Stalking other posters
I'll have to leave my stalking of NormanPride for all OTHER hours of the day, I guess :(

* Whining about mods/admins
Would this be an appropriate time to point out that there are far fewer girl mods than guy mods?

* Posting drunk
I'm not as post as you drunk I am.

* Opposing team troll
Resident opposing fans make the Sooner world go 'round.

* Spam
American Idol was SO guilty of this last night :mad:

In conclusion, soonerfans.com is the best Web site on the Web, so all you illegal whorn immigrants either like it or leave :D

And before a permaban sets in, let me clarify my above comments... I keed. I keed :D

[crawfish]

I see you didn't mention the "double-secret probation" policy...

[texbuck]

I just read and do not post but will surely comply with the rules!

[colleyvillesooner]

but you just posted...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I figured this would be concerning my sponsor's gift..

I m disappointed to say the least

[olevetonahill]

I just read and do not post but will surely comply with the rules!

Just dont be reading Drunk or your In Beeg trouble .

[dolemitesooner]

So posting drunk....hmmm. I guess I cant reaqly post anymore then

[sooneron]

* Opposing Team Troll

I really miss all the penguins and Freddy Krueger for that matter.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

as an elaboration -

posting drunk is what i call the blue rule - it bans you for a day before you do something really stupid. the points actually expire pretty quickly (like 2 days) so unlike a DUI, a PUI isn't as serious.

most of the infractions are 1-3 points and go away in 30-60-90 days (the exceptions are the trolls and spammers who can burn in austin for all i care). it takes quite a few to result in a permanent ban whereas before it was how much you ****ed off a mod.

[Collier11]

Well Im screwed . Im usually drunk when I post .:O
Cept Now Im sobre.
I like this Board over Most all the others Ive been on .
Good Jorb .

Youve got my back right, dont take away our drunken privileges...:D

[walkoffsooner]

yep

[BigRedJed]

klatt, JKM answered part of your question. The other part is that should you get points or warnings, there is a little dashboard that looks really similar to your reputation (spek) comments, which will appear directly above your spek comments, in fact. If you don't have one, it means you haven't received any warnings or posts. Most people will probably never have one.

Also, you'll automatically get a PM notifying you of the warning/points. It's very transparent, and easy to understand.

Maybe BSG will post a screenshot of the warning Beano dropped on her during testing.

[C&CDean]

This is simple people. Just don't be a dumbass, and don't **** me off. What could be easier?

[OKC-SLC]

Is it bad that I thought of olevet when I read the 'posting while drunk' rule?

Do we need to have an intervention, olevet?

[Beef]

I wish someone would personally attack my member.

[Collier11]

This is simple people. Just don't be a dumbass, and don't **** me off. What could be easier?

****ing you off!? :D

[OKC-SLC]

Your heart couldn't take it.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

oh and if you have any questions about this i'll be happy to answer them. here is my PM (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=36432)

[oupride]

Imagine, it isn't hard to do.....

[TexasLidig8r]

With the rules being clarified.. how about...

a general amnesty for all posters previously perma-baned?!

After all, the only crime about which there is no hope for parole is murder in the first degree.. and sometimes, not even then.

We are a people of compassion and humility... whereas certainly, our strengths define the nature of the greater good, so too, do our mistakes and foibles equally define us. To be able to forgive, to acknowledge that past decisions may have been made in haste, or been guided through emotion instead of cold hard facts and logic, is perhaps one of the greater aspects of our nature.

With the enlightened rules and guidelines now clearly in place, is it perhaps time to throw open the doors, to allow all opinions to ring true? And so too, those prior offenders, now confronted with and having to live with the consequences of their conduct, perhaps have seen the light and with this new found wisdom and due contrition, could indeed become invaluable members to this unique and broad based community.

Compassion.. wisdom.. intelligence.. justice which is both firm, yet fair. Embrace these noble qualities and enrichen this community through an all inclusiveness heretofore not experienced.

Greatness awaits.

No, but perhaps quite shockingly, the first paragraph does.

I've gotten more enjoyment from this Site over the years than from the Team I'm a Fan of's Board.Just hope that oneday I might contribute a Fark worthy of Being Posted on FarkCentral. :O

[RedstickSooner]

Dangit!

I've obviously missed some truly awesome threads, for this new policy to be implemented.

Well, or maybe I haven't. Those thirty-five page flame wars are a bit on the lame side sometimes. People just aren't as creative in their anonymous personal attacks as they used to be ;)

[Dan Thompson]

I didn't think they where watching.

Maybe they could get all those posts in one place and tell us where they are:)

[dolemitesooner]

Would one of you "ASSMONKEY " mods give me a yellow card and tell me hwere I can see it.

I need to know when I am close to banning. Or am I always close :)

[dolemitesooner]

Ok sweet

[TopDawg]

doleo has the distinct advantage of being impossible to understand most of the time. He gets the personal enjoyment of putting someone in their place, but nobody else knows that's what happened.

Was I the first to obtain a yellow card under the new policy??!!! :confused:

Ha! That's funny.

I'm not that bad anymore. Growing up is hard. :D

i'm trying to think of something that would be kinda funny but really inapropriate at this point in time. however, by having to explain my intentions, the funny part is lost so i guess ill go with something a little less original.........texas sux......sorry, all i got right now...... until i can find my niche ;) maybe later i'll throw in smartly timed middle finger and whut not....

Hello Danny, it's been a long time....

[Stoop Dawg]

Simple rule of thumb, don't say nothin' on the forum that you wouldn't say to someone's face. I've always felt some people can get pretty dang brave anonymously. :D

I disagree. The rules of polite society prevent me from telling people what I really think to their face, and prevents them from telling me what they really think to my face (except, I assume, Dean, who I have never met face-to-face). I value the "truth" that is to be had by posting (and reading) anonymous opinions.

[Stoop Dawg]

Oh, and this place must have really gone to hell in a handbasket for Phil to have to make such a thread mandatory reading. I don't envy the mods. People can be real jack-holes.

Great place. This is by far the best Sooners board out there. I have been to soooo many boards, that when I found this place, I knew I didn't want to go back to my old boards and continue filtering out the garbage. That is hard work. So, I really appreciate what the admins/mods/HMFIC are doing around here.

I used to own/operate a large Dallas Cowboys Fan board so I understand exactly why this is being taken so seriously.

The old saying??

It only takes a few bad apples to spoil the bunch?


I am all for keeping things light and entertaining around here and for taking out the trash. Boards like this one get very big and you really need to sometimes remind folks about why we come here.

Agendas between posters freakin suck. Think about how many forums you participate in and then count how many *** clowns you know running amok on those boards. Easy isn't it?

I like this place.

Agendas between posters freakin suck. Think about how many forums you participate in and then count how many *** clowns you know running amok on those boards. Easy isn't it?

I like this place.

This is a great place, good to have you n00b! ;) Too bad your a Cowboys fan though :eek: :D

[TopDaugIn2000]

Great place. This is by far the best Sooners board out there. I have been to soooo many boards, that when I found this place, I knew I didn't want to go back to my old boards and continue filtering out the garbage. That is hard work. So, I really appreciate what the admins/mods/HMFIC are doing around here.

I used to own/operate a large Dallas Cowboys Fan board so I understand exactly why this is being taken so seriously.

The old saying??

I'd give you negative 5 stars if I could.....hippie. :D

[olevetonahill]

Naw we still gettin Locked threads AFTER they have calmed down
and some have told me they dont get answers to questions when they Peem a Mod .
When they start a thread askin , the thread gets deleted
( which Phil said would happen) then they have told me they got carded fer it
Im just wondering
If we ask a Mod (which I havnt ) and dont get a reply whats the recourse for us peons ?:confused:

[olevetonahill]

Naw, I'm not that skinny....yet. :D

[olevetonahill]

Back on topic , I really would like some clarification here :pop:

[Tailwind]

Of what?

[olevetonahill]

Of what?

Read the last page :rolleyes:

[olevetonahill]

Im thinkin Part of the Prob with the Locked threads is we dont have ANY Mods on Line right Now
so some one starts a thread it gets Outta hand, we kinda police it ourselves, it settles down .
A mod comes on line reads a few pages decides this shat is outta hand and Locks it with out seeing that its been calmed down
Dont know Just a guess on my part :pop:

[olevetonahill]

Then we have posters who are frustrated of asking questions and not gettin an answer so they start a thread askin WTF ?
It gets deleted, they get carded
Kinda Gestapo'ish it seems :confused:

[GottaHavePride]

My schedule's a little weird, so I'm not always around, but I try to respond whenever anyone sends me a PM.

And really, the tone of this board is so vastly different now from when I started posting back in 2001 sometimes it's hard to tell when a thread has "calmed down" or not. I mean, back then the only people that ever got banned were horn and aggie trolls. And SoonerMudd. And dbhuge. Oh, and peabeewonn - sorry, I mean pasadenabound01. You know, stuff like that.

[CK Sooner]

I would like to know also.

[olevetonahill]

And with That Im gonna take this opportunity
an Apologize For that thread I started last memorial day week end :O
I was drunk and pizzed , still it was uncalled for .:O

[Collier11]

doesnt do much good to ask if it dont get answered, thats why people get so frustrated cus of this type stuff

[Turd_Ferguson]

I would like to know also.We'll give you info on a "need to know" basis only.......Jr.

No shat Bro.
Wuz just talkin to a turd on the phone
My words to him were

Back when the Mods who are Mods now were named as Mods they had a lot of time to devote to the board .
Their lives have changed and gotten busier which is a Good thing for them .
It just seems now tho that they do a Shotgun approach to threads and posters :pop:

Plus I have noticed they change their postin habits , and arnt as much fun as they were befoe the Modship came along

[olevetonahill]

isnt being a mod on a volunteer basis?

Yes They are Volunteering their time and get cussed for it .

[Collier11]

OK, how about a response...Is it not deserved ??

[Crucifax Autumn]

We gotta start that stomping "We Will Rock You" thing and keep at it until he wakes up and notices that the inmates are getting restless!

But eventually we'll get a reply since someone has to "keep the loonies off the grass"!

[GottaHavePride]

Just work up a Number Six on 'em.

I am not a number. I am a free man!

[SicEmBaylor]

That means Bassey and Hybl are still fair game! Huzzah!

;)

Man, stop bash Hybl. He was a great player, a great guy, and a great Sooner. There's no reason to bash Hybl.

[SicEmBaylor]

Sic Em is a Baylor fan. :eek:

Ah, but I'm also a huge Sooner fan. The only difference is that I'm a Baylor fan when the two conflict.

[OU_Sooners75]

Simple rule of thumb, don't say nothin' on the forum that you wouldn't say to someone's face. I've always felt some people can get pretty dang brave anonymously. :D


That is the problem with me. I will say just about anything to someone's face.

:O

Can we personal attack ourselves? Like If I were to call myself a retard? Is that okay?

:eek:
