The Gameday threads in particular can be a cesspool. You'll soon get an idea for who is prone to name-calling & it's very easy to mute people if it gets annoying. Just mouse over their name and click "Ignore User". The open format here is refreshing but that puts some responsibility for monitoring things on the individual users. Still, the mods are pretty quick to regulate if things get too far out of hand & you can "report post" on the bottom right of any post. General rule here is "attack the post, not the poster". There's also a "Jesus & Drumpf" subforum for any contentious political/current events type stuff & some other subforums for off-topic posting or discussing other teams or sports. Football forum is for football (and bad jokes.) I'm all about the Bengals football, believe it or not - its the only reason I'm here. A few years back I was part of another Bengals forum that turned sour in the ways you describe - its why I don't go back. Was just trying to get the pulse of fans amid the vast changes the team is now undergoing. Mostly, I'll just choose to navigate right around the comments of the negative nancys - I've seen it all before. Always in search of what will make the team better. Stay positive. You know what they say, opinions are like assholes - everybody's got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just an inside joke for those who have been around the board for awhile. Nothing personal nor any offense intended. Just playin'. I am very glad you are here and look forward to your input. The ninja smiley is boardspeak for something not to be taken seriously. The joke is that people show up here and very soon become snarky assholes and are accused of being a troll whether they are or not. BengalBuckeye (or visa versa) is a recent example. But I join the others in welcoming you on board (get it?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENGALS666 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Angry. Not for years. Disappointed in myself for maybe letting hope creep in every new season? A little bit. This team will wear you out. Luke warm football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would win: 5 raccoon-sized Carson Palmers vs one Carson-sized raccoon? It's a trick question - They all quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
