I respect the fact that some people only cheer for a certain player and not the team in general but please show some respect for us Rockets fans as well and refrain from trashing our site. At least be respectful to clutch who worked his butt off since the late 90's to provide us with arguably the best nba fansite/online community. He has been so patient with certain posters who's only agenda is to root and defend one player in particular and doesn't care much about the team. Quit being so self-centered and have the decency to suppress yourselves from acting like a spoiled juvenile with an overblown sense of how important your opinions are in relation to those of others. At the end of the day, this is merely a game we all love. This is a site that we all should appreciate and take care of. Do you even realize how lucky we are as fans to have an online community as active as this? So please, all we're asking for is a little accountability. As Rockets fans, we also love, support, and root for that same player you're idolizing and trying so hard to defend all the time. If he's part of the team, we want him to succeed as well. Yes, this message goes out to all the Lin, Harden, Parsons, Asik, etc only fans out there. Keep in mind that we are fans of all these players as well. So for the Nth time, please, just please show some respect to clutch, the fansite, and the thousands of members of this community by inhibiting yourselves from creating senseless threads that you and i know would only cause inappropriate debates and arguments.
I agree with the OP, I jusst don't know if it will make a dent with anyone but repped for the message and the effort.
I agree totally. I am a Lin fan, I believe all Lin fans want Rockets to win, but I have to say Harden did not play well for a while now, not one game or two games. Our last few minutes' gameplan failed big time for almost the whole season, but it will still be continued, that piss everybody.
this is now the: OFFICIAL WAYS WE CAN REDUCE ***** POSTING ON THIS SITE 1. make it so you are not allowed to post unless you have been a member for xMonths 2. make 2 GARMS. one for the public, one for the "repped/actual members" 3. have a couple active janitors to delete ****ty threads on spot 4. ban members who create kneejerk THREADS for a couple 5. have janitors who consolidate threads (ie not 5-10 jeremy lin threads open) 6. having player specific threads for every player so we don't have to open up new threads every time harden/lin/asik/ sucks one night 900001. keep doing what we are doing 900000000000001. allow anonymous posting.
I agree it has gone too far. Just endless spite and hate and it's made the forum unpleasant to read. And this is coming from a so called lof. Stricter moderation please, especially of trolls, whoever they support. But you have to treat Lin bashers the same as Harden bashers or it will just cause more resentment again.
Here is an example of someone complaining after the best win of the season. Yes, these posters make playoff wins and all wins less fun. OP is spot on. Whoever is b****ing about the Rockets today is not a true fan.
This is horrible. IMHO this board is too lenient, guys like Skyrim and Glacier should have their threads locked, be warned and then banned.
