    I understand posting one tweet or two tweets per day but we now have posters (both sides) just posting tweet after another tweet and it really ruins the flow of discussion, because there isn't any being had. Check out the Trumpanzee thread, RocketsLegend is going berserk posting tweet after tweet and not even responding to people anymore. Really goes against the name of the forum, Debate & Discussion.

    My solution would be to have rules surrounding the posting of tweets.

    IF it's actual news or a link to a story that's developing, then that's ok.

    If it's just the tweet is nothing more than someone else's opinion, then it should be banned unless the poster tries to expand upon that opinion in such a way that fosters actual discussion.

    RussianLegend and BobbytheKiddo just need their own forum.

    The "problem" is RocketsLegend, not the number of tweets, in my opinion. Bobby? I don't see anything he posts. I agree that there isn't that much real debate and discussion going on now. A large number of posts are simply regurgitated garbage from "alt-right" fake news sources that members keep attempting to engage in honest debate and discussion. Those attempts typically are a waste of time. You are essentially attempting to debate a "bot" that is a conduit for crap, in my humble opinion.

    Eliminate Fake Rockets fans first.

    There's a poster who joined 2 Laker boards and 1 Hornets board and continues to say Jeremy Lin > Patrick Beverley

    That deserves permanent ban on the internet and probably 5000 mile radius of Toyota Center

    tinman, you could also just put @yoeddy and @mig0s on ignore and that thread would go away. Accept some personal responsibility for a change and do all the other 55,000+ ClutchFans a big favor at the same time. ;)

    Agreed. If @TheRealist137 was using his ignore list right, this thread wouldn't exist. Incidentally, Deck, from your feedback thread, it sounds like you could also use work on your ignore list.

    Yeah, I've expanded it some. There might be 50+ names on it now. I used to have less than half a dozen.

    Keep going, you'll get that echo chamber you are looking for eventually so that you don't run into ideas you disagree with.
