Little love for the Niner Nation moderators/bloggers

PrintJust for the hell of it (well because I'm mean and I like seeing tears) I took a look at the Colts SB Nation site and I couldn't believe how unprofessional their official bloggers are. Not only do they not enforce any kind of site decorum, but they're in an open feud with some another website/blogger. I don't always agree with what Fooch or Ninjajames write, but I'm really glad that for the most part our site doesn't degenerate into too much immature name calling and "internet tough guy" posing. Here's a link their site, scroll down to the tweet just after the "Allow me to disagree with Peter King" article (if anyone knows how to make the link jump to that article just edit this).
I guess this guy BigBlueShoe is their Fooch. Personally, I wouldn't use this site if Fooch acted like that.....
So, I guess I'm just saying thanks for not being like those guys because I really need my Niner news fix and it's nice to get most of it in one place.

Site moderating
I appreciate the kind comments.
I will say that each site runs things quite a bit differently, often based on the personalities of their leader. If you compare our site with Stampede Blue and Field Gulls you’d see dramatic differences in the spectrum. We’re rather laissez faire compared to FG, while we consider Stampede Blue much more laissez faire than us. So, I guess it’s all about the perspective. All three sites do well in traffic, so I guess if you love your team, the style doesn’t always matter for some people.
yeah they do
You need 3 forms of ID, a background check, plus a drug test before you can join.
"The Football The 49ers Team has The excitement of the bear, the velocity of the deer and strenght of the buffalo.
yep
They’re probably the tightest of the ships, but again, everybody handles their business a bit differently.

just out of curiousity
what do they do that’s strict?
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
They ban people very frequently.
I don’t post there too often but I know rlott and FF have both been banned for some time.

I'm totally banned as well.
I chose water over wine... Jars of formaldehyde... think of all the things I missed... Why'd you make me a scientist?
also, there's a 3 day waiting period before you can post comments
which i found out the hard way when i joined the blog to comment on a game day open thread.
I thought it was 2 days?
It’s good for the site because it keeps out spammers and I think it gives people a chance to calm down.
With that rule NinersNation wouldn’t have a “falconsownniners” fanpost.

The dude did stick around for awhile
I have to give him that.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
I don't think it's good for the site.
I’ve went over it before so I won’t get into it too much, but bloggers/internet goers these days are ultimately shallow. A good portion won’t stay and wait two days based on how good the content is, they’ll just say screw it and move on.

content
I’d actually disagree in one context. I’ve heard from a lot of people that register at Niners Nation and begin commenting, had been reading the site as an un-registered member for months at a time. Given how long they’d been reading before, I don’t think a wait-period would make much of a difference.
Obviously people who try to register the first time they come to the site would potentially be a different story.
by David Fucillo on Feb 13, 2010 1:51 PM PST up reply actions
I don't think it's bad per se.
I just don’t think it’s good. In essence, I think it’s a useless thing to do.

spam
Sites do it to prevent spam attacks. A spammer won’t wait the couple of days. We’ve avoided mass spam attacks here for the most part so it’s not an issue at this point.
by David Fucillo on Feb 13, 2010 9:37 PM PST up reply actions
I guess I just don’t like it when a fan creates an account and then posts a random fanpost right after a loss blaming ownership for everything that is wrong with their life.
The 2 day waiting period would keep those people away, or at least give them a chance to calm down before making a comment that brands them as [site decorum]s

Me to
he runs a really tight ship, but he knows his stuff and his articles are always very well thought out and well written.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
Well thought out, the only thing I dislike..
…about John’s writing is he writes in a “my opinions are facts” kind of way.
I chose water over wine... Jars of formaldehyde... think of all the things I missed... Why'd you make me a scientist?
Most people do. If you are writing it then you probably think it is true.
normally when you have an opinion you think it is true or fact.

That's terrible
The idea is to provide something to discuss so people can talk about it in the comments.
It’s pretty boring if someone puts together a fanpost and says: My opinion is fact, rar rar. If you don’t like it, leave!

Agreed. Don't like it at all, but leagues ahead of BBS.

You’re talking about me, aren’t you??? Say that to my face if you think you’re man enough, I’ll kick your butt!!!!
Sorry, couldn’t help it. I just wanted to look like an internet tough guy for a moment, because that stuff always cracks me up!
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
The peoplea at stampede blue are really annoying.
They’re complaining about the 2 pt conversion now.

Funny they lose by 14 and complain about a 2pt conversion.

Quite a few members were complaining and saying that when the Colts player kicked the ball out of Moore’s hands that made it an in-completion.
Even BBS tried to bring out the NFL rulebook.

hahahaha johnny were you around here when the 49ers played the Colts this year
a lot of us are quite familiar with BBS. We are definitely lucky to have some cool people running this blog.
"The Football The 49ers Team has The excitement of the bear, the velocity of the deer and strenght of the buffalo.
Yeah
Mike Singletary is a cheater
The Tim Tebow Story "A Bust In The Making" ...Part 2 Coming After The Draft...Stay Tuned.
But good game
The Tim Tebow Story "A Bust In The Making" ...Part 2 Coming After The Draft...Stay Tuned.
lol seriously
they way they reacted after the game you would have thought the 49ers had won
"The Football The 49ers Team has The excitement of the bear, the velocity of the deer and strenght of the buffalo.
yea and that wasn't our whole blog that reacted that way, was only a group of them.
if you know me at all you know I don’t often agree with a lot of what BBS says but that doesn’t mean the whole blog is bad. It isn’t.

If you looked at the Colts blog after the Super Bowl there was a post accusing a Saints player of faking an injury. I’m guessing it’s some sort of tradition after games with Colts fans, accuse the other team of cheating.
by Hoopers Judge on Feb 9, 2010 3:21 PM PST up reply actions
haha yeah I posted a link to that fanpost on here somewhere
it seems Colts fans are the new Pats fans

They’re less arrogant, but more whiny. It’s all a matter of degrees though, Pat and Colt fans are arrogant and whiny.

HAVE YOU GUYS EVER HEARD OF TROLLS????????
seems like you haven’t because if you know nothing you should know when something doesn’t go well trolls come and often make fanposts like the one your talking about then disappear. I mean really one guy wanted manning traded lol.

I didn't see any problems with it.
I thought the guy wrote some good articles and the fans seem to appreciate it. Personally, I don’t like all the sensitivity on NN, I’ve been reprimanded a few times for language on here, and I’ve never bullied or attacked anyone. It’s lame, and I can’t remember the last time I have found something good to read here.
good way to make friends here
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
something good to read
Just out of curiosity, if there is nothing good to read here and you don’t like getting reprimanded for language issues, how come you keep coming back? I don’t mean that as a snide question, but just curiosity.
by David Fucillo on Feb 9, 2010 9:02 PM PST up reply actions
You’re reprimanded for language because it’s a site standard. It was part of the agreement that you read when you signed up on the website. If you weren’t prepared to not swear, then you must have lied when you accepted the terms and conditions.
I don't know about that, to the groin.

sensitivity?
As long as you don’t use swear words you’re fine.
And if you don’t like the content then you can go elsewhere.

Sensitivity here?
Did you read the post on SB where BigBadBrad (as he’s known over at BRB) cries that someone didn’t say hi to him?
Have you seen their attempts to belittle KSK (a known humor/sports blog) because they couldn’t take it that KSK made a joke about them?
At Stampede Blue, there’s no room for discussion or debate because the Colts are the greatest team ever because of their statistical domination. Disagree and be banned.
Umm you obviously don't read over there and only look at titles for things that you can say bad about us.
really if you knew anything you wouldn’t say half the things you just did. BBS has reason to not like it and it did not start because of someone not saying “Hi”. Most people didn’t agree with BBS anyway but obviously you don’t know this cause you read nothing.

That it’d tickle you just right.

I liked the standards that Fooch has set
I been on other sites when insults are considered norm. everyone has the right to state their opinion without someone degrading one’s opinion. So be careful , otherwise it may get out of hand.
Great job, Fooch and all of thoses who contribute !!!!
thanks
I understand people like the freedom to do what they want, but a few simple rules are not the end of the world. I think it helps improve the level of discussion. Obviously some people disagree with me.
by David Fucillo on Feb 10, 2010 9:10 AM PST up reply actions
We definitely get considerable freedom to express ourselves here.
Just no swearing, which I wish weren’t the case, but I can live without it. Too many insults discourages people from posting diverse opinions anyways.
Other than that if I were to attempt to run a community, I’d try to emulate guys like Fooch and Ziller from StR. Being able to provoke discussion without antagonizing people isn’t easy, and these guys are masters of the art. It’s enough to spoil me and to shock me when I see how wrong some other community leaders get it.
Some guys get it wildly wrong like BBS who antagonizes people first and then complain about the discussion it provokes (I still can’t believe he told his own members that he was sick of defending his argument if they disagree with him, then they should leave because they obviously have no morals).
"I don't always agree with what Ninjames says"
WHAT GET OUT
