Broncos Forum Members,
Before we go any further with this conversation, this is not an area to point fingers or cast aspersions, talk about "old shit" etc. If you can't contribute to a meaningful, adult conversation then don't bother posting and just accept what P&R will become without your input. If I see any rule violations or finger pointing in this thread it will be deleted and you might even get a CYP or worse.
Here we are, again, with P&R. It's an utter shit show of childish, moronic behavior FROM ALL SIDES. The moderators are done, we've lost members over the level of disgusting attacks leveled at one another in there. In fact, I almost walked away permanently over it and am still not sure I want to visit this board anymore if I'm being perfectly honest.
This is about P&R, but this is also about the survival of the board in general. P&R WILL go away and the forum itself might not survive unless changes are made and people starting acting with a modicum of respect towards others.
It is not OK to say Trump supporters are racist, crazy, deserve this or that, etc.
It is not OK to say Democrats are deranged, delusional, afflicted with TDS, etc.
It is not OK to disparage entire groups of people because of their political beliefs.
It is not OK to disparage individuals because of their political beliefs.
If what you're about to post does any of the above, even if it's not blatantly an attack on one specific person, if that person falls into the group of people you're talking about then it is. Period.
It's time to grow up and act like adults.
Here is our recommendation, if you disagree feel free to make your own recommendation, and if it attacks or belittles any specific person or group expect to have it deleted and expect action taken:
We ask that everyone immediately follow the rules. If the moderators feel a personal attack or attack on a group of people is made they will remove your P&R privileges for a week on the first offense, further offenses will result in full board bans of no less than one week. If someone attacks you or others hit report, if we agree it will be handled. If you respond in kind you will both be banned. If a group responds in kind after an attack from a member the whole group will be banned. A rule violation is a rule violation regardless of the acts of others.
There will not be a warning, we're all adults and we all know the rules. Follow them or lose privileges, period.
If people leave, so be it, we don't need their attacks and constant negative bullshit anyway.
The hope is that people will modify behavior, learn to speak to each other with respect, treat each other with dignity, and if not respect an opinion respect that person's right to have it.
We're not children and we're not a group of monkeys slinging shit at each other.
Once this is in place if problems continue we will close P&R altogether.
Please, let us know your thoughts. If your thoughts are "as long as everyone is treated the same" you can keep that to yourself and either agree or disagree with what you see above. I am not here to debate who got what, said what, thinks what, etc. If you turn this thread into that your posts will be deleted.
I look forward to the discussion and to the LAST opportunity to save P&R and quite possibly the forum itself.
Thank you.
