The other alternative is just to tag your posts but you won't do that either, will you? I'm not interested in scrolling through a full page to watch two of you argue in technicolor. You're not getting picked on because other people would like you to follow a four year old rule, and clearly in that rule it says if you just have a few things to say they can go in your post. Dragging it out is obnoxious.
I've put on my ignore list ~ten 13yo Kuzy haters and useless trolls including one mod and now my experience on these boards is so good. It is night and day. No need to read all these jalous nervous p**ps trolls do then thet hear Kuzy name or someone say something on their foreverhurt God Nicklas Backslow
I don't know why I always have to name your hate projects but it's clearly Nicklas Slackstrom, get your shit together.
@twabby you were happy to participate in the stat thread previously. this victim-complex is misplaced. short stat posts are welcome in this thread, but per our board rules lengthy stat discussions overwhelm other topics and should be moved. we mods hadn't done anything about it to this point because it hadn't been very prevalent recently. but since it now is again in wide use, it's time.
this is almost surely me. which is just fine.
Wait, who thinks Kuzy has elite defensive skills?
Yes, I can read. But nobody uses that thread, and for good reason. Just having a thread to dump stats isn't particularly interesting. If I were inclined to spout stats into a vacuum, I'd run a blog. What IS interesting, is the discussion of players within a wider roster thread, and statistics are part of that. There's no rule on HFBoards banning the posting of statistics, or the discussion of players according to those analytics. I'm sorry that you don't like it, but that's your personal opinion. It's not within your rights, even as a moderator, to shut down legitimate discussion. Sorry that you don't like looking at stats, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
The rules of HFBoards are here:
Actually, you can be sorry all you want but we have a local rule #12, which I did not draft. It arose out of a lengthy discussion among posters on this board. See the pinned thread. I was hoping folks could honor what was a group decision out of courtesy to their fellow posters, but if you insist on not doing so, I am prepared to enforce the rule by moving posts.
Nah, all Sprong these days. Sheary's star is fading for the moment.
Most of the people who love hockey do love hockey stats too. This is why NHL do a colossal effort to publish in real time so many different stats. Stats are part of the NHL and are a part of hockey itself. If the only reason the rule exist is to make someone breake it, it is not a rule but a burocratic tool. Any good reason why we cannot bring stats as an argument to any thread? Really. Why so much hate to the NHL effort in promoting hockey stats?
You absolutely do not know whether "Most of the people who love hockey" also love stats. Many certainly do, but on this forum at least, many also do not. We have a thread for the extended discussions and a rule that we put in place in response to the wishes of the majority of hfcaps posters. So for the purposes of this board, you are objectively wrong.
I've read the rules you refet to. They are really well written. But not only the letter but also the spirit of the rules is important. And the spirit here is mediocre without any hyperbole this time.
It is two different things. I may like it or not it doesn't make the rule good. The same goes for you. You may like it or not, this rule is bad.
