BAMA forums give to rival posters? As we all know, the barner forums, especially ITAT pretty much operate on a zero tolerance basis. I don't go to the vile forums very much, but from what I've been reading, they're getting mighty intolerant too.
I'd say that the TIDE forums are the most lenient I've seen and I'm kinda proud of that because it puts us on a higher plane than the incestuous barners, where NO outsiders are allowed unless they suck up to them. However, there has to be a limit or else the forum will rapidly deterioate to a point where it'll be difficult to tell whose forum it actually is.
BAMAMAG is pretty tolerant and as a result, the viles and barners try to constantly push the envelope. BOL, on the other hand, seems to allow most anything and the barners and viles dang sure take advantage of their lack of control. I'm still waiting to see where they draw the line. You can't allow anyone to come into your house and blatantly exhibit such rudeness and lack of respect as they permit over there. At some point, don't you have to exercise some level of control?
I think TideFans pretty much has struck a good balance. Outsiders can come here and discuss football and enjoy some good natured ribbing, but once they display a pattern of disrepect and seem to be constantly trying to push it to see how far they can go, they get punted. I think that message board give and take would be far more civil if everyone had a similar policy. Don't you?
