And of course hardly anybody will read this post and fewer will agree but nevertheless if we are to strive for the 1st Amendment even as a private site we should allow people to post regardless. Banishments distract and detract from the site overall and ultimately create tension and rifts... Although having been banned from multiple sites on numerous occasions, I think its not all that bad as it is entertaining and humorous. But I did want to speak out for the oppressed Faider, Chef, Bolt fan that nobody deems worthy to have a voice... As their representative I proudly will defend their right to be stupid, post stupid comments, and not be banished!
    I guess you do not know the Mods nor Admin here very well if you think
    rival fans are not entitled to the same voice as Broncos fans here. We bend
    over backwards to extend that to them.

    And I'll guarantee you, bans solve more problems than they create. They
    are not nearly as distractive as the tension and rifts, and the smut and the
    smear, and the attacks and the insults that lead to them.

    The vast majority of posters here do not need the Rules and Guidelines, nor
    the Mods, to keep them in line. They do a very good job of it themselves.
    But those of the minority who do need them can capsize the entire board
    if allowed. It is not only necessary; it is critical to have rules and enforcers
    of the rules for the benefit of that majority who want a good board.

    And you failed to mention that this is a private site and not a public site but as someone that believes the 1st Amendment should not be limited or restricted I was simply voicing a minority opinion, but I do understand your job and the job of all the moderators and administrators who are there to keep order. Your job becomes harder when individuals fail to self-govern. It is clear as pie. But thank you for responding and my dancing pink elefant [sic] thanks you as well

    A----fricking men. My only gripe with the Mane is sometimes trolls are given way too much leash over there. I have a lot more respect for a forum that at least knows when to pull in the reigns so that the inmates dont overrun the asylum.

    I tried to ban you & Spider both once but then I was told only Mods could do that.

    Just so you guys are aware. The reason we have these Town Hall Discussions is that there are virtually no rules or changes to the message board that take place without first getting feedback from the Broncosforums community.

    As a few examples, based on feedback from the community in Town Hall threads:

    • We installed the Mile High Salute system (rep system) without tracking any rep points or status and not anonymous and with no negs.
    • We implemented the High Five system, which is similar to the Salute system that was on Broncosfreak.com
    • We relaxed the censor filter and what was allowed in the main message board forums on some words and acronyms.
    • We created the Lounge as a place to allow a more adult atmosphere

    Just checking to see if you've come up with plan to get rid of us Maners yet!


    (or as the Survivor Players would say... Have we been voted off the island yet? )
