Thanks to MU Scoop Moderators

[NersEllenson]

In a somewhat ironic and funny stat....the MU Scoop thread on BrewCity Ball has more replies to it than any other recent topic on that board other than the DePaul game thread.

Funny, there is a guy over there ripping our Mod - Hilltopper - who made a few nice posts on that site - for "washing his hands of responsibility" over moderating this site more heavy handedly. 

Find it laughable that a poster there would take shots at the Mods here - who provide a GREAT forum for MU fans, charge nothing for it, and use their free time to keep the site up and running, moderate at certain points etc...and the poster doesn't have to nor doesn't post here - so why get worked up over MUScoop??

I'd say the moderation style here has been perfect - 1st amendment applies - its a free country, speech shouldn't be censored...so long as it isn't racially charged, hateful, discriminatory.  And, the posting activity and membership count here suggest that their decision on how to moderate this board has been the right one.

So, thanks Mods for providing a great platform, and allowing for free speech to prevail - from one of your more controversial posters.

I post early and often. Gotta say this site is the tits. Pretty much you can do whatever here from kickin' it to body slams and its all good. As for other forums related to Warrior BB, they'll ban ya for common sense thoughts like "Crean farts in the bathtub."
BTW, Crean sucks.

[Skatastrophy]

The mods here are power hungry and in it just for the money. Nobody should believe their shill, Ners', propaganda.

Quit being a mod slurper.

I guess that says it all.

And we can say unnatural carnal knowledge and hairy wet cats.

And you know what Crean does in the bathtub...how?

Well played Tower.

I enjoyed Brews posts on scoop.  It's too bad he left.

This board has gone nuts at time with excessive Buzz bashing, the whole Derrick/Dawson thing, ad naseum.  The vast majority on this board does not engage in that crap.  The few that do...

I much prefer this site at the end of the day.  Just wish some posters would stop making the same point over and over and....

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Doc Bheart?  Haven't seen him post in a few months.

Ners pollution lol

Scoop Crew for life!

[mu_hilltopper]

Oooh, I thought you were going here:

[rocky_warrior]

You're welcome.

The mods here are power hungry and in it just for the money. Nobody should believe their shill, Ners', propaganda.

You're banned.  And we sold all your information to Instagram for a pretty penny.

Brew certainly posted a lot on Scoop, and much of it was quality.  But then he began to believe that since he was such a HUGH contributor, he should have a say in running the place, and started bullying people.  You win some you lose some. 

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Doc Bheart?  Haven't seen him post in a few months.

Not really sure what happened there.  It appears he disagreed with hilltopper calling him out.  Didn't seem like an unreasonable conversation, but he decided to end "the relationship"

For some of the noobs here, let me cover a few things. 

Feel free to talk about and link to Dodd's scout site, and IWB's site.  The more information the Marquette community has the better.  Google can get you to these places but I'll even help you out....

http://marquette.scout.com/

http://www.brewcityball.com/

If they have something interesting to point out, feel free to link to them here.  They may not have the same rules, so check with them before you link back to us when posting on their forums.

I do take issue with anyone that calls the moderators here negligent.  MUScoop averaged 19+ posts per hour for January.  Think about it, that's like 19 text messages every hour of the day in January (14,628 for the whole month), and we're somehow supposed to make sure that not a single one of them offends anybody.  (Sorry Derrick, you were probably the most offended, but on the other hand you were also the most defended...). 

Oh right, and nobody here is making money off this.  We are now displaying ads to the anybody that doesn't log into the site.  Optimistically I'm hoping that covers half of our costs.  I'll have a better picture of it once we get into the off-season.

Those that like to complain, I think the rest of the mods would agree that if someone else could setup a site where Marquette fans were comfortable talking freely, we'd happily disappear into the night.  I mean, sure we've have to give up our private jets, but .... oh right, we're just fans of Marquette basketball too. 

Go Warriors.  (yeah, yeah, Golden Egols...)

[real chili 83]

Thanks for reposting that thread.

There was nothing outrageous in that thread.   Doc seems to disagree. 

You have to take scoop for what it is.  Sometimes you have to have thick skin.  Some people you put on ignore.  Most often, it's lots of fun.  Besides, I hear they have a really good fishing thread.  Brew City doesn't have one of those.

Doc and Brew were good contributors.

[Skatastrophy]

Anyone that gets angry enough about a website/community to quit that community in a huff of nerd-rage needs to reevaluate how much time they spend on the Internet.

A bunch of anonymous old men talking about a game on the Internet shouldn't get you worked up.

Whoa .. I never thought Blackhart was "out" of Scoop .. just of that thread.  I was just asking an honest question with no intent on "outing" anyone.    I'll email him about it.

I knew it..I knew it...You mods have a private jet just like Buzz does--or do you share? Obviously with the private jet, you get to recruit the best talent to Scoop.

[hairy worthen]

And you know what Crean does in the bathtub...how?

He said "common sense"  I just shudder to think what else Crean does in the bathtub.
