People are upset that users are ignoring Pru but Pru is a vocal advocate for ignoring other users ?

To be fair, I think most of us are in the camp of “post what you want and ignore who you want”.

On the recruiting side of the house, any truth that Jeremiah Fears has high likelihood to reclass? That would put him and Rez in the same class, no?

Dunno about high, primarily because I have no idea about his academics. If those are in order, and he's able to get his HS degree next May, then I think he'll re-class. Doesn't have anything to prove at the HS level beyond this coming season.

I believe we want Illini fans of all ages, which includes young women, to feel comfortable coming on here to celebrate their team and talk about cottage cheese without feeling like half the board would ogle them if they’re at the beach.


I-L-L
Is there honestly anyone who believes that the number is anywhere close to being below half, for this or any internet message board?

Do we really have female posters on here that are worthy of being ogled at the beach?

Pictures please.

Gross.

The fact is, people are politely asking for a small change in behavior that would make this awesome place more welcoming for everybody.

If that’s too tough for y’all, fine. But don’t attack people for a very reasonable request. And when y’all say stuff like above, it will drive people away from this site, whether you want to believe it or not.

And if you’d rather people block you then make some easy compromises, that says a lot more about y’all than the “prudes” blocking you.

Hope y’all have a wonderful rest of the holiday weekend/week, even those that will block me.

I doubt we have any male posters on here that are worthy of being ogled at the beach, either. That’s kind what makes the whole bikini pics thing even creepier.

It's been brought up on here before but most of the posts on here bringing it up get deleted shortly after by the mod and said poster gets offended for it even being brought up. There's nothing wrong with boards like this being around where people can just shoot the breeze about stuff and actually contribute to the discussion. But some of the pictures that get posted on here are just a bit much and probably shouldn't be at all if were being completely honest about it.

I am in the camp of the ad nauseam request getting repeated on recruiting thread after recruiting thread rather cumbersome, especially when an end user can simply use their own behavior to mitigate their perceived issue.

We know there are only 3 outcomes:
1) Behavior of "offending" user will change, which he/she has no reason to, and there is no indication a change would happen anyway
2) Dan bans "offending" user, which removes valid content from being shared
3) End user uses the ignore feature, which removes the content they don't want to see

I think it is clear the option I prefer.

In fairness, the people you are chastising won’t block you.

There are always people these days who want to bully others into shutting up rather than exercising their own freedom to go elsewhere. Cult-like behavior. You can't give in to them. Given 'em an inch, they take a mile.
