Mayfair, sand knit, who else?
Go Rocky!!!

Itll only make it worse right now because they will make a ton of accounts. Wait a couple days, ban them, and then they wont notice until the start of next season.

Two of the biggest idiots Scoop has seen during my time here.

Can someone please tell me how to put a poster on IGNORE ??? Its not very easy on this site
-
This team is horrible defensively, we have no 4 and no 5 and no Pg. wojo coached the hell out of this team to get us where we are.
He needs to get on the recruiting trail tomoro. Our talent is not good in the junior n senior class, relative to the ncaa tourney n top of the BE. As webber says tho future is bright.

Yeah, ban people because they think Wojo is a bad coach.
I look forward to the excuses when Wojo brings in some good, but not great, players and the same defensive problems occur.
Talk to someone close to the program who watches the practices. This is a coaching/teaching/schematic problem.

Name a better replacement that is available and will come right now. Cmon, times ticking.

Scoop isn't just a forum to compliment the team. It's a forum to talk basketball. As a fan of our team, it's normal to criticize poor performance. That's what happens when you get embarrassed in a big game. Opinions are valid when they're negative too.
-
Banning trolls is fine, but if there are legitimate questions about the game then why ban? If you guys are interested in an echo chamber or a safe space I do not recommend Internet forums.
Toughen up. True fans stick around, even when it's rough, but dissent is part of free speech.

The lack of an athletic 4 that can rebound and defend killed the team all year. It's too soon to put that on someone like Theo but hopefully he can be that guy eventually.

Got em corralled for you

There is a difference in voicing valid concerns (see the Will Wojo Adjust theead) and simply being a troll. The posters listed above are simply trolls.

Dissent is fine. However, it's rarely logical here.

It wouldn't matter who was available. Wojo's job is the safest in America. MU is so glad to have no "issues" with the players that wins and losses are at the bottom of priorities.
I don't agree with that philosophy but it's not changing.

You do not find it odd that one of them has not had a single positive post in the history of his posting. Not one. ever?
The other one, ripping on players to a degree that is unhealthy and without class. Based on his first 20 posts, this isn't his first rodeo either.

Not what I said at all, and I'm not taking sides or speaking about specific posters.
I got called a whiner for voicing valid criticism, and that's what my post was in reference to... understanding the difference.
-

But it's a valid point. It does seem like the powers that be would prefer a clean program over a consistently successful program. Ironically, the rough around the edges mindset that made MU nationally relevant is now frowned upon by the suits.

Here's the kicker of the crap you and Goose bring up. You seem to claim that MU's desire to be "clean" is keeping them from being great. Well, that's BS. MU would accept any player that UNC, Duke, Kansas, and UCLA would. They'd even accept a few isolated transgressions from those players.
But it's not MU's "restrictions" keeping those players from coming to MU. It's the fact that they'd rather attend the 4 aforementioned programs. Wojo is recruiting plenty of talent. You just don't think the talent is good enough. Tough crap...it is.

Marquette wouldn't tolerate the academic fraud that UNC has committed year after year. And that impacts recruiting. We also wouldn't tolerate Josh Jackson's abuses, both verbal and vehicular. Our BOT would run as far away from LaVar Ball as this nation's borders would permit. Because that kind of publicity ruffles feathers.
So, you know, there are those things to consider.
-

True, MU has never been accused of that. But on the heels of decades of success, they've proven the *might* turn a blind eye.
We also wouldn't tolerate Josh Jackson's abuses, both verbal and vehicular.
On an individual basis (!), I'd argue again that Marquette has shown it's willing to support a student athlete that has strayed for a brief moment from being a model citizen. In fact, they've supported worse than Jackson.
Our BOT would run as far away from LaVar Ball as this nation's borders would permit.
Again, Marquette has proven they will deal with overbearing parents. It might not be their preferred MO, but there's no restriction there. At least not for a year of athletic service....

There have been many idiots on this site and Goose has seen them all. This is saying something.

Rocky
I would expect better from you. Please do not put words in my mouth. I have not said MU's desire to be clean is keeping them from being great. Plenty of other factors, but nothing to do with being clean or not. Time to ban myself.
Good luck moving forward,Rocky!!

Let them troll. It reveals more about them than it does about the team. Everybody knew this was not a championship team. Everyone could see the flaws. They have been discussed more rationally and objectively. Sometimes more, sometimes less. To only appear when things are going wrong and never have anything positive to say? Character revealed.
-

Admittedly, this is my perspective as a moderator for 10 years.
There will never be a troll-free BB forum. And you wouldn't want that anyhow, everyone sitting around a circle agreeing with eachother.
When people write incendiary things and get strong responses, I'm more inclined to lock (versus delete) the thread, as if to leave it as a monument to their character.
Now, no doubt, when someone is constantly running their mouth off making the place an unhappy zone, that's when you bounce them from the bar for a while.

Is there a way to lock a user from posting in a particular thread without locking out the rest of us who want to have a "civil" discourse?

Goose. Apologies if I misinterpreted. I guess I don't understand what you meant when you posted the bit quoted below.
In my heart and in my head, I do not think brass has a plan to be elite for much of four decades. They have the hope and dream and not the plan. Honestly, maybe MU brass is too good of a group of people to pull the trigger to be elite. If the case, I accept that and spend the ball money on making it better academic environment.
-
I would suggest everyone find the ignore function on Scoop. The forum needs to be self regulating, can't expect moderators to be the thought police. I generally don't put folks on ignore but it can give you a nice break from MDDG, Myfair, etc.. onward Warriors....
-
If you IGNORE these trolls and don't engage them, they will go away.. As long as you "feed" them, they will return... 8-)

When the ban waves come, please dont sweep me into it again because I made a post asking about a game update ;) ;)

I don't see how running a clean program and being successful are mutually exclusive. How "dirty" are Izzo, Self, Wright, Few, Mack, Brey, K and Bennett, to name a few?

Exactly, no one can accuse Mr. Sand-knit of not going for the ban.

To be fair to Sand what got my 10 yr old that warning was him smugly saying "Who are you rooting for dad? i'm rooting for Notre Dame". Sand has a ways to go before hitting that level.

Goose. Apologies if I misinterpreted. I guess I don't understand what you meant when you posted the bit quoted below.
Rocky, I jumped to the same conclusion. Further down in that thread Goose explains himself a little more. It's not that their too ethically good to pull the trigger, its that they are too good to recognize their own shortcomings and bring in some more basketball people.

Ah. OK. I generally read everything here (skim depending on how busy it is/how much time I have) and that one just jumped out to me. So Goose, if you're still reading, again apologize for misinterpretation of your words.

Really? I don't get why people have to announce when they want to "ignore" someone. Just do it and move on.
Speaking to respecting all viewpoints??? Then what's this ignore thingy about? That's like your own personal ban-hammer right there...Disagreeing can be healthy and instructive. Banning? Where the H-E-double hockey sticks were you when we lost a good one 4-5 months ago

He's had his chances. He's wasted them all.

Note well ..
Over our decade, Chicos has been banned multiple times, meaning, he's come back multiple times. Even this last time, the super duper perma ban, he left for months then came back under a different account .. which hasn't been banned, yet he is staying away.
Ners is the 2nd poster child of second chances. After months of absence, he's back too.
Scoop is the second, third, and tenth chances capital of the world.
In reality, we don't ban .. we just give people vacations.

Scoop is somewhere between good, necessary evil, and a room full of monkeys on typewriters.

The fact that you overtly insult those that come here simply to talk MU hoops in a civil manner speaks volumes to the environment here......it's really not worth sticking around for.

oh i understand and know the whole history thing-some us just kinda tro the chicos/jams thing out there as a "scoop memorial". please don't misunderstand my occasional, silly throw-back as an insult or begging for a 3rd...4th...umm, 5th? chance to come back. even though he's snuck(sp?) in/out the back door a few times, he's in a good place. loves the occasional "rent-free" comments
