I suppose we can do what we've been doing but I think being more proactive could help. There used to be more collegial debate and higher brow football talk and not just insult fests derailed into 'doesn't matter QB sucks'

A lot of people have that "good old days" thing... I think there's some truth to it, the board has become a lot bigger, people move on for various reasons, etc. But, I've always taken breaks from this place... game day threads have always been terrible... there have always been trolls... some of the worst posters have been here for years.
Like I said though, I don't disagree that it can't be better... I've always been a fan of removing those who bring absolutely nothing to the table, but 1) it's not my board, 2) my definition will differ from other members.
We have been more active with banning people from threads, but there's still only so much we can do because everyone has a different opinion of what needs to be done. If you read all of the reported posts, I think you'd agree how ridiculous some of them can be... I personally wouldn't mind kicking out all of the chicken littles every time
the most clutch team you've ever seen goes down a run, but settle for dumping the worst of it. Hell, we were even going to ban the winner of Douche of the Year for like a week and got overturned.
