Sultan is one of the obvious, begging-for-it people that must be banned before people who follow the rules leave.
Chitownwhatever is another. MU82 is begging.
All should be banned for months, announced to the community as to the length.
Most of us try to follow the rules. Chitown, Sultan.. they know they are defying it and don't care. My fear is that it's due to their alignment with the mods' beliefs. The mods' beliefs shouldn't come into this... but their inaction will force some hands.... not good.
If you can auto-change 'right', or 'skol vikings'... but not their words... or you can scream "NO POLITICS" but allow what they have said... might be time for me to exit. Hope not to.
Mods, please do the right thing.
Either change the rules, or have a heavy hand with those who openly scream, "I don't care if I get banned for this!!! I'm so righteous". You're pissing people off. It's your right to do whatever you wish, but you're upsetting a lot of your users.

I'm pretty sure that at least one of the mods has called me an SJW and "master of PC" (and not in a good way) before. So I'm not convinced that the mods (or least of all of the mods) political leanings go that direction.
I'm also only aware of one poster who's ever been given a vacation for politics (Keefe). I thought all the other ones were for general trolling. But I could be wrong.

A lot more deserve it. And by their own admission. Some of your views, TAMU, I completely disagree with. I think they are horrible. But, you're not blatantly disrespectful of the site's policy (and most of the time you're thoughtful and usually on point)... guaranteed we differ politically, probably religiously.. but, I have no beef with that.
However, when little foreign living, no job having punks come on here and scream "screw this country I don't care if I get banned"... BAN THAT MF'R. Simple.

As long as we're enforcing rules...
Respect other posters. Insults, and flames will not be tolerated

Where's the issue? No blatant disregard for the rules... unlike, "I don't care if I get banned!!!!!!!!!"

What is calling someone a "little foreign living, no job having punk" and "MF'R" if not blatant disregard for the rule of respecting and not insulting other posters?
-
We don't have a lot of rules. And clearly the ones we do have are too much for people to handle by themselves (JB, that means you too). Trump set off a firestorm with his NFL comments, so now it's impossible to have an NFL thread without it being political. So that one gets some leeway right now.
Title IX thread? I'll shut that down. But people (Chicos! MU82! and others) need to stop taking these isolated political threads and letting them bleed over to the other threads.
I'm just about done with it. Oh, and I do appreciate "reports" of politics. But if you report, and then reply with a political slant in the thread, you're not really helping things. Just a thought for some of you.
Oh, and if you don't like the moderation. Please leave. Don't just threaten it. Thanks.

My initial issue was about the Chitownxxx kid who said, "I don't care if I get banned, blah blah blah" and went off on a political ramp. Why is that not a ban? It's not about a thread getting shut down. There have been multiple people on here who have stated, "i don't care about the rules, eff you, i'm saying it!!!"
That's the issue. And it's bad.
Your response is "Please leave. Don't just threaten it. Thanks."
Nice, thanks for the hospitality. I see where you're at exactly.
I'll monitor to see if the appropriate changes are made. Maybe you'll get your wish. Thanks again.

In fairness, if it were one of our esteemed scoopers of your alignment who had started the thread using the exact same words (obviously, viced to versa), would you be calling them a misogynist little creep? Meethinks not.
Such is why we no longer have civil discourse in this country. No principles, no consistency, no rules, no compromise, no understanding, no wisdom..... just "me, me, me, me, me, me, me, and maybe you (but only if you agree with me)." Again, both sides here, folks. I'm not pointing a finger at anyone , I'm pointing all ten and still coming up way short.
But that's not the real problem. Try to think for yourself (i.e. not walk in lockstep with one side or the other), and you're ostracized by all. Wonderful. Reminds me of the words of a famous military leader:
"What makes a man turn neutral? Power? Lust for gold? With enemies, you know where they stand but with neutrals? They make me sick."
Ignorance and arrogance (ignorrogance?) knows not the bounds of philosophy.

Quite the impressive rant.
But I would ask you to think a bit more. Obviously, you and I differ greatly re: the state of the country/world. But I don't recall ever calling you names. Then again, I don't recall you calling me any names when you call me out, either. That is how it works. Despite our disagreements, I consider you to be consistent and intellectually honest (intellonest?). I respect what you post - even when you are snarkier than I.
JB is a different animal. Attacks posters at will and then whines like a melted snowflake. I have no problem calling him out in blunt terms.

The people who tend to get booted add very little to the MARQUETTE discussion. After all, that is why we are here.... we are Marquette fans whatever your creed, politics, et al.
All of the people in this fight add a lot to this board as it relates to Marquette basketball and NCAA basketball in general. I understand a lot of you disagree on various items such as politics but can we please find a way to get to basketball season so we can enjoy it.
I, for one, would be disappointed if anyone left on their own volition or was booted.
-
Methinks the OP who has LONG posting history of both homophobic and sexist comments should take a long look in the mirror.
-
It's absolutely laughable that this was posted yesterday. So I assume we are also not going to discuss the FBI's investigation of NCAA basketball recruiting? That's politics in sports.
Politics and sports have always gone hand-in-hand in this country. They are linked closer than baseball is with apple pie. That's just reality. You can try to minimize it, and I think the mods have done a good job of that, but politics comes up in sports because sports are politics and politics sports.

A few items:
1. Behave. I can't stress this enough. We're ~all adults here, and most went to MU. Act like it. Really. Do that, and things will go well.
2. We do our best. We try. We fail. Sorry it's not perfect for you. Here's your refund.
Frankly, I like political discussion, and very much wanted a political board but people couldn't adhere to point #1, so it was a failed experiment.
We've always had a 'light touch' on moderating Scoop. We try to moderate in the dictionary definition sense. A tuck here, a prune there, and at worst, a timeout when things get beyond reasonable. TBH, I'm not sure we've ever banned anyone and not let them come back.
Sports and politics do intersect, and I do leave lightly political posts to see how they play out. Egregious ones get the axe, but often it starts with a weed and two hours later we've got a forest and impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Unfortunately, we've got users -- on both sides -- who need to point out the utter travesty when they read a Scoop post that they prefer not to view or doesn't comply with the rules. I have some advice:
Get. Over. It. Stop reading the thread. Ignore the poster. Move along with your lives.
Get. Over. It. Stop reading the thread. Ignore the poster. Move along with your lives.
Get. Over. It. Stop reading the thread. Ignore the poster. Move along with your lives.
If you can't enjoy ~80% of Scoop and ignore 20%? Dodds and IWB have boards, maybe you'll find your 100% there. We'll welcome you back if you miss us. -- Or start your own site and bask in its awesomeness. It's a real hoot, I encourage you to try it.
We're glad you're passionate. But Scoop hasn't been perfect for its 10 years, isn't now, and won't be in the future. Guaranteed.
Enjoy your time here. Really.

I’d rather not view this post so I’m going to report it
That's the spirit!

There’s a vocal minority here who just can’t let some stuff go. They try to get strength in numbers or at the very least, yell the loudest. Never seen it this bad and its escalating since last November 8. Frankly, BeeJay has a valid point.
-
topper and Rocky: Very much appreciate your posts and really appreciate you serving in your high-paying gigs as Scoop Monitors. I keep waiting for you to use some of your Scooply riches to treat the rest of us on an all-expense-paid trip to Hawaii - including lots of Kona beer and Kalua pork - but it hasn't happened yet. Cheap arses.
Disclosure: I actually was banned for a few days a couple months ago for too much Trumpiness in my comments. The mod did it quietly, in a polite but terse note to me. I deserved it.
Since then I've tried to avoid gratuitous "Trump sucks" types of posts. As a few others have noted, however, it's pretty impossible to avoid politics entirely with many of these very-much-sports subjects.
Also as a few others have said, always-angry posters who constantly resort to name-calling against everybody they have decided they don't like are far more insulting than any political thread. And yes, I did come up with "Boo-Boo," so I'm not totally innocent here, either!
What would be nice is if, before hitting that POST button, the poster re-reads his or her comment and asks himself or herself, "Did I go over the line here?" Maybe that's too much to ask, I don't know. Again, I admittedly have been guilty of posts I've later regretted.
Lastly, while I agree with stuff that most of y'all have said here, I agree mostly with topper's: Get. Over. It. Stop reading the thread. Ignore the poster. Move along with your lives.
A couple years ago, when chicos was particularly driving me nuts, I put him on ignore and it made my Scoop experience far more enjoyable. Sure, I could still see some of his posts if others responded to them, but I just moved along. Now, no matter the target, I'm more prone to shoot back a sarcastic one-liner because I find it fun and challenging to come up with one.
Oh, and JB ... this MF'R thanks you for starting this thread. I try to F my kids' M whenever I get the chance.
Peace out, everybody.
In before the lock!
-
I have been on very little over the past months, but I definitely believe there are folks that cross the line. The argument of ignore the thread or the poster is valid, provided they are posting within the rules. Frankly, I have vastly different political view than some on here and I try to keep those views to myself. When I am on, I hoping to read/discuss anything but politics.
-
I think this thread may have cured my addiction to the Superbar. It's really too bad there were some great conversations, wish we could have civil discussions with only occasional insanity(I'm as guilty as anyone for occasionally getting my blood up and letting it impact my posting). However, based on what I see on the main board the SuperBar has gotten too caustic to remain isolated and the value of the SuperBar no longer exceeds it's cost. There are plenty of guilty parties and I'd just ask that people self reflect on what role they've had on increasing the animosity on a basketball board in a time where there is plenty of turmoil that we deal with in out daily lives so no need to add more.

I think this thread proves one thing very clearly. It's the offseason. Without our common love of Marquette basketball to bond us things can get very salty. Take Lenny and I for example. We couldn't be more different politically. But during the basketball season, we were part of the "Usual Suspects of Buzz Slurpers" as dubbed by Ners. Marquette basketball is the great unifier!
-
I do and I don't miss the Politics board. At times there could be decent discussion with good perspective on both sides of an issue. But the problem obviously, as pointed out, was that some posters couldn't behave and resorted to either name calling or outright meanness. Unfortunately, that behavior has found its way into Hangin' at the Al and Superbar threads. Tolerance is not something that this country has much of, it seems, though many who claim to possess that trait are frequently the most intolerant.
That said, I have no tolerance for Notre Dame. ND blows.

This is all fine and dandy, but let's get the to real issue. Is Arrieta on steroids and is Jay Cutler a mediocre quarterback?

Scoop is no better, no worse, no different than society at large. The country is bisected. There is a lot of yelling and a lot of taking shots at other viewpoints without pondering the wisdom or perspective that may lurk in them. It would be nice if we started acting like Jesuit-educated individuals, ones who were taught to think, ponder, and serve. Sadly, we revert to our more coarse sides and forget about what we have in common, instead focusing on how impossibly pig headed the other is. Frustrating. I will try to be the change I want to see in others.

State of Scoop - I appreciated the effort with the Pollitics Board, and agreed with the decision to end the experiment. The politics bleeding into BBall and Superbar threads is annoying, not respectful and mind numbingly repetitive.
Core Curriculum - One Phil and one Theo class- I think that is unfortunate, but change or die: kids want a more “vocational” direction, and I get that, though I am glad that my two went the Liberal Arts route. If memory serves, as a Lib Arts major, the requirement was 9 and 12 credits (it may still be). Loved all but one of those classes (Christian Marriage - which I took with my now wife - was an awful, pedantically taught class).
Hijacking Threads - Well... no matta

It was 9 THEO (Intro, Islam, Eastern Christianity) and 12 PHIL (Intro, Theory of Ethics, Philosophy of Art, Contemporary Ethical Issues.)
But if I think what they are trying to do is show how the core is more relevant. Students can still take THEO and PHIL classes, but they have to be within a certain area.

Core Curriculum - One Phil and one Theo class- I think that is unfortunate
Back in late 70s early 80s we had to take one philosophy (Logic was my PHIL course, easiest class in my 4 years at MU), one sociology and two Theologies.
I was an engineering major, and I took my two Theologies with a Dr. Segovia. They were the most interesting classes I took at MU (which is why I took the second with him, he was an outstanding lecturer), and probably the only classes I actually enjoyed sitting in. It is helpful to get kids out of their comfort zone.

As a Catholic student at MU I was required to take 12 credits in both Philosophy (4 courses) and Theology (6 courses as each course was only 2 credits back then, and one of the courses was Christian Marriage with Father McEvoy) despite the fact that I doubled major in Biology and Chemistry.
-
As a Journalism major from 78-82, I had to take 3 Theo and 5 - five! - freakin' Philosophy courses. I ended up actually liking most of my Phil courses, which surprised me. The Theo courses I took, IIRC, were Old Testament, Judaism, and "Theism and Atheism." You waren't gonna get this ol' Bagelmuncher into no Jezzy courses!

I respect folks who have differing views on the changing Core. Those can be rationally debated. But your statement is borne out of a complete ignorance of the facts facing the curriculum committee.

Ummm...no. At worst this is merely an advertising pitch, about having a progressive and evolving curriculum directed at educating students in an ever increasingly interdisciplinary world.
The curriculum doesn't really change much, but they can sell it as the above without having to create a bunch of new courses (read hire new faculty).
At best, it is the university changing the core to better educate students for an ever increasing interdisciplinary world, with the intention of hiring new faculty and developing new courses to reflect these changes.

If you can auto-change 'right', or 'skol vikings'... but not their words... or you can scream "NO POLITICS" but allow what they have said... might be time for me to exit. Hope not to.
Mods, please do the right thing.
Either change the rules, or have a heavy hand with those who openly scream, "I don't care if I get banned for this!!! I'm so righteous". You're pissing people off. It's your right to do whatever you wish, but you're upsetting a lot of your users.
There is a lack of common decency at times. We are all going to have different viewpoints, disagreements, but the name calling isn't necessary.
Case in point. I provided some factual information about Maria because our family was in a state at the time of one of the bigger hurricanes of the last 50 years. For providing factual information I was called a jerk and told what my views are, which he also got completely wrong.
Can't we all agree to disagree at times without the personal attacks?

Marquette's national reputation has served me well, while not losing the personal charms you talk of locally and regionally.
I agree, in fact, more than well. However, a great education is more than a great job. It is a life well lived. We have been going though an identity crisis for 50 years, change and transition is never easy. On Scoop we have both the good old days and the new paradigm and sometimes we can't talk with each other.
Most of the old elite schools have a long standing culture. That is how I would define them. To see the Jesuit culture go to Venice, to see the elite culture go to Massachusetts.

Wait if we're talking about bad mods. Can we talk about when my first account was banned because I asked what happened in a game I missed because of O Chem?

Case in point #2. The name calling. It really is sad.

I'd go look for some occasions in which chicos called others names, but ...
1. I'm too lazy.
2. chicos has been banned, so he obviously wouldn't see my post.

It's only getting worse. The "politics free zone" (Scoop definition) allows people to spout their political standing, and in no uncertain terms rip other political groupings (albeit in an absurd, generalized way, which makes it even worse.
I call on the mods to give Jokey a much needed timeout, which will result in the betterment of Scoop relative to Warrior (ooops, probably offends Jokey) basketball.
You know I am about as far left...
...Sadly, people like you are the problem (not meant as a personal attack). I say that because it is ONLY when people on the right like you stand up and say something has to be done, that it will happen. We have tried on the left, but every time there is a mass shooting, those on the right say more guns is the answer. Until YOU guys stand up and say that life has value, nothing will be done.

The mods addressed your concerns. Your participation here is optional.
