New Freedoms Allowed for GameDay Threads: "Go Ahead and Let it Go...."

My Duck-Buddies....I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish. I recall how we have lost many good members because they were fine on the forum during the week, but went crazy in the GameDay threads.

So, I will let you vent in GameDay threads.

But Note the Parameters:

--This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past.

--You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week.

So, if things aren't going well, and we are getting our butt kicked? It is fine to blow off the steam in the GameDay thread, but NOT in the regular forum threads. I am allowing this so people can get-it-out-of-their-system during the game, but the question is--can these same people restrain themselves to not do it on the regular forum threads?

You will need to, as I am cutting slack on this with the implied agreement by those who utilize this new privilege--that they will contain themselves in normal forum threads as before. I'm counting on the good people of this forum to hold their end up, in order to have a sounding board for when things get testy for us all.

One Caveat?

I would be mindful of the total game, because I recall a few years ago when we opened against Portland State--the Vikings marched down the field and scored early in the first quarter before Oregon got things going.

And people absolutely melted down.

Angry at the DC Lupoi, angry at the team....just angry.

Then we won 81-7 and those in early meltdown mode looked pretty silly. So you are free to write what you want, but know it could provide laughter for us later....

We have a fantastic community here, and I want you all to enjoy the experience, thus the new freedom.
