Not anymore friend. And we like to call them avatars, not "icons"
I guess I would understand not wanting people spamming my message board with all kinds of slander or swearing. But when people genuinely want to discuss problems and vent a little bit the mods go crazy.
I think they have had too much red kool-aid.
Why is it that since the end of the 2006 season it's been a coin toss to know which team will show up?
Since you are new here, I'll give you a second chance.
This is a privately owned site, and we have rules that cover what kinds of criticisms and attacks on players are allowed. Simply stated- there is no free-speech issue here. Read the rules and follow them.
We are talking about college kids who played hard tonight and came up short. If you feel you have to unload on individual players and lay the entire blame on them for this loss, then you can take that kind of stuff to another forum where they love to rip players and coaches. This is a pro Bradley forum. Please keep posts constructive.

I think they do a good job of letting people discuss the team. Not always positive, but when things do go over the top they take care of it. These are student-athletes not professional athletes. If I was pouring in the time and money they are to run this I would run it how I pleased as well, and personally wouldn't put up with all of the mod bashing that goes on around here.

the mdoerators of this board delete intelligent posts, but allow members to have explicit icon pictures for the world to see.
makes sense.
Stop. If you haved something intelligent to say then do so but don't single out individual players. I think the mods have let most of the Les complaints stay even though they may not share the opinion. If you want to complain about team play, rebounding, shot selection, refs, defense, etc then by all means do so. Plenty of that on here this year especially compared to past seasons. Just don't single out a particular player for a loss. Thats just the way it is. Most of us die hard fans have our own thoughts as to why we lost but won't blame someone in our family. I'll bet we share the same opinions about a certains players skill, talents, or ability. I just don't think it needs to be on here. It does not relate to an explicit picture.

i agree. dont turn this board into the compliant dept.show a little class with your posts and everything will be fine. losses bother the coaches and players more than it does most fans.
I love that this post turned into multiple posts of support for the mods.
Backfired a bit there, new guy.
wait, I thought he was ticked at the mdoerators not the moderators??
anyway, it's darned near impossible to delete "intelligent posts" when there are so precious few...and anyway....
...it's always the intelligent ones that have the best "icons"....so it really gets difficult for the mdos!

Come on Man I think you need to leave this site and not return As you don't need to be subject to such Treatment, MODS, Posters and view such Sinful Pictures And I KNOW the fine BU Fans of this site will be OK without you as it was before you entered This is the best run site for BU BB and all sports imformation. You need to get a life and good luck to you some where else

If you continue posting the deleting won't peeve you as much as other things will.

Look, I am not saying the rules aren't the rules, I'm just saying that I think they are sometimes a bit too stringent. As I've watched this board over the past two years and read threads most evenings after work, I've noticed when people get upset, there doesn't seem to be a place for it.
And last night, I was upset. I hit my tipping point. And I displayed my dissapointment here. My wife just doesn't quite understand how I feel after my team loses. I was hoping for some support, but in all actuality all I did was upset the powers that be. For that, I apologize. I understand the rules, I just don't have to like them
And to you, OutofBalance...I need to get a life? And I need to go post elsewhere? Well, tough luck for you pal. I'm here to stay.
Why is it that since the end of the 2006 season it's been a coin toss to know which team will show up?
