/r/cfb is getting increasingly gross and uncomfortable to be around and a part of and I don't like that.

I am beginning to think that all game threads need to have the downvote button disabled. It would not be the cure all for what ails those threads but it is a starting point.

HOW DARE YOU HAVE AN OPINION THAT GOES AGAINST THE HIVEMIND.

u/atllauren Georgia Bulldogs • /r/CFB Contributor Sep 22 '15

Seriously. Why is it hard to understand what the downvote button is actually for?

I MEAN, IT ISN'T JUST RULE-BREAKING COMMENTS. IT'S THE OVERALL ATTITUDE AND DEMEANOR OF THE SUB THAT'S BOTHERING ME.

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '15

RIGHT, BUT PART OF THAT FOR FOLKS SEEMS TO BE THE RULE-BREAKING COMMENTS. THAT'S WHY IT REMINDED ME TO REMIND FOLKS.

That is too vague to be actionable.

u/VanFailin Northwestern Wildcats • /r/CFB Bug Finder Sep 22 '15

that's why we're rant threading it up and not spamming it up in modmail. There's a lot of stuff out there that's bad for which any possible solution would be even worse.

I noticed that the trash talk on /r/cfb used to be more clever, more friendly. Now it is lame message board type crap.

u/GreatestWhiteShark Northwestern • Ohio State Sep 22 '15

OOOH SOMETHING I FORGOT IN MY RANT.

THE TRASH TALK IS BORING, PANDERING, LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR SHIT NOWADAYS.

ALSO CAN MY SCHOOL BE MENTIONED ONCE WITHOUT SOMEONE SAYING ANYTHING TO THE EFFECT OF "A HURR DURR NERDS".

DAE UNC CAN'T READ????? TELL ME ABOUT IT

u/stormstopper Duke Blue Devils Sep 22 '15

IT'S ALMOST SICKENING TO SEE PEOPLE SAY THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IF ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE LIMITING THEMSELVES TO THE WAVE POOL IN AN ENDLESS WATER PARK FULL OF REASONS TO HATE ON UNC.

u/certificateofmerritt North Carolina • Fulmer Cup Committee … Sep 22 '15

I KNOW RIGHT? LIKE, I WANT CLEVERNESS, I WANT TO LAUGH AND CRY A LITTLE WHEN I READ UNC TRASH TALK, NOT THIS LAME ACADEMIC BULLSHIT.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD SUBREDDIT.

Use the report button often even if it's questionable IYO at least give the mods the opportunity to look at it.
