A Few Things
1. There's too much profanity on the site recently. While it's not necessarily forbidden, it needs to be kept to a minimum. We're not your mother, but children read this site. If you can't make a point without using it, you probably don't have much of a point. Please watch your language.
2. On the same note, it's important to be respectful of others. This is another thing that is becoming an issue, particularly in the FanPosts other fans make to take questions. That's not the place to talk smack about the game. They are our guests here. They need to be treated with respect. It reflects poorly on the site when GGN members only talk trash or worse insult visiting members of other communities.
3. Staying on this note, be super respectful when you visit the sites of other teams. Do not start fights. Do not do things that you know will provoke others. Saying something negative about another team on GGN is one thing. Doing it on their site is a very bad thing. We don't like it when other fans come here to trash the Jets. You are their guest. Again, it reflects poorly on the site. This isn't everybody, but I'm seeing too much of it all the same. I'll tell you straight up there are no less than two GGN members the other editors and I were considering adding as writers here who have cost themselves an invitation because they do not behave on other sites.
4. We have heard your input. We have already implemented a number of your suggestions and are exploring implementing more. Please do not hesitate to e-mail me with any other constructive ideas you might have to improve the site.
5. We vote for the new tagline this weekend.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and continued support of the site.

True story…
Sad too — very knowledgeable guys and solid writers that know their Jets’ stuff as well as anyone.

We're also working on another idea you all spoke about and we had previously discussed
Just awaiting clearance from the NFL. Hopefully we get it.
If we do, our content will be expanded greatly.

Profanity
What are the guidelines for that? I mean, are we going by basic cable standards or what (you know, no f-bombs but most everything else is allowed?). I think the rule is a little puritanical and frankly ridiculous, but I’ll be a good boy and play by the rules of the sandbox. Not sure that kids should be surfing the web unsupervised, though, or even reading blogs.
Just sayin’

We’ll let it slide if it’s a one time thing every now and then, but it’s becoming too consistent with certain posters.

Yeah, I hear you
Like I said, if that’s how you guys want to do things, I’m all for it and I’ll play nice. I know I’ve slipped in the past, that’s why I asked. I swear a lot in my personal life, but I’ve been a radio DJ before and I’ve been able to curtail it when required! I love the site too much to not be able to post, so I’ll put a swear job next to the laptop and behave :)
As for talking trash on other peoples’ sites, that’s just silly in my opinion, and I’ve never done that.

It takes away from the professionalism of the site. We don't want to breed a Bleacher Retort here
We’re not talking about certain ‘emergency situations’ or if a word slips here and there. That’s cool.
But it’s become more common recently, and certain guys are doing it a lot.
You guys represent GGN, remember that!

Im glad this was brought up. Although I have not noticed too many problems, I stopped going to another Jets fan site for these same problems. Too many trolls, and too many so-called Jet fans starting trouble, very childish stuff along with alot of Racist comments being thrown around too much, atleast too much for me. There’s no reason for all that dumbs stuff, we can all get our points across without some of that extra stuff…love this site..
Bingo!
Great to hear, thanks for the kind words!
And glad to have you over here now =)

Granted But....
“Staying on this note, be super respectful when you visit the sites of other teams. Do not start fights. Do not do things that you know will provoke others. Saying something negative about another team on GGN is one thing. Doing it on their site is a very bad thing.”
Its one thing to be respectful, and refrain from saying dumb things that has nothing to do with football… But I like to get in a good, friendly ribbing with other fans. You guys aren’t a “news source,” you’re a blog for people to share opinions, and if fans can’t come here to debate, make fun of each other’s teams, then where can they go to do this? This site (sbnation) is the perfect avenue for that because it is the only hub in which fans of every team are represented. I don’t curse on here, nor do I take unnecessary shots at fans, but I do like to make fun of the way Chad Henne threw 3 picks against the Patriots—and jokingly call out fans who thought he is better than Sanchez.
You're reading too much into this
What you’re talking about is fine. Ribbing is fine.
But saying things like “YOUR TEAM F*CKING SUCKS C*CK WE”RE GOING TO CRUSH YOU ON SUNDAY" is unwelcomed.
Again, the above statement does not apply to everyone.

And I’m talking mainly about threads that specifically for asking questions about the other team. Those aren’t the place for arguing. They’re the place for….well questions.

To a Steeler fan talking smack about Jets and Santonio Holmes (how they won’t miss him a bit)…

I admit I was disrespectful on the Vikings board over the weekend.
I went to congratulate them on the Moss trade and said Favre has to pick it up for Moss’ talents to contribute. I was welcomed with comments calling Sanchez a “Dirty Mexican Wetback”. It went downhill from there, Christopher Gates, the editor there emailed me and said he would ban the guy. I had no intentions on riling them up, but I said one little thing about Favre and they couldn’t take it. The Denver fans are much more sane and open to opinions than Minnesota fans are.
"Dedication To The Don" Most Popular Post Of All Time On P&T. I Am Honored
Agreed
I think the threads on the Vikings blog got out of hand. Both sides were probably at fault. I was kind of surprised to be honest, because they are an NFC team, which in the scheme of the season is one of the ‘less important’ games.
We may have caught them on a bad week, considering they felt Moss returning to their team was the second coming of Christ. We on the other hand knew our DBs can shut him down. It led to people making aggressive comments just to be more of an ass than the previous post.
The Denver fans have been much better to talk to. It’s been more enjoyable to read posts on both GGN and Mile High when fans present their side in an intelligent manner.
I'm not sure...
Not to derail this thread post (which I agree with), but I visit just about every other NFL site on SB and only two are consistently vitriolic all around. One being Phinsider (though that could be my green tinted glasses, though the Pats Pulpit guys are pretty cool) and the other is Daily Norseman. Which is unfortunate, I’d probably put the Vikings up there as one of the teams I’ve always liked in the NFC.
Those are the only 2 that have been aggressive for me as well.
I’m not expecting everyone to be hugs and kisses but those to sites take it to another level. Without a doubt, DailyNorseman is the worst. They’re fans a delusional and whiners. I’ve spent time there defending myself, time I wish I could have back honestly. They have the worst fans and now I rather the Vikings lose more than anything. I also hope the Vikings move to LA after 2011. Then and only then will I ever cheer for that team again. I want those fans to have no joy, that shows the type of reception I received while there. I hope they lose their team to another city. They’re racist, small minded and just dumb above all other things.

You got the reception that you sought and deserved.
Your behavior at DN last week was despicable. You will certainly rationalize things differently but I have yet to see any fan of any team on any SB site display that level of self-righteous obnoxious attitude. If you want to be respected you need to show respect.
Despite your atrocious display, at this point the worst I would say about you is that you seem very immature. I would not lump all Jets fans into that category. For the record I am not racist, I like to think I am open-minded but realize that I do have some preconceptions, and I can confidently say that I am not dumb although from time to time I do dumb things. Finally, just to clarify for you… the definition of “fact” is not “something I believe”.

I deserved the reception for saying Favre needs to play better for Moss to have an impact?
That deserves a reception of “Your QB is a dirty mexican wetback gtfo”? I admit that I have pushed you guys buttons with the Favre thing, I pulled it because everyone was whining about it and I was sick of it. The self-righteous attitude came from me showing everyone that my wetback QB is way better than your QB right now. I threw stats and facts in your faces and the only way any of you could respond was by calling me a troll and posting troll pictures under my comments. I really don’t see how any of my display was atrocious. An atrocious display is making a front page article of how a man makes too many children and is a deadbeat, an atrocious display is having multiple fanpost doing nothing but calling our coach fat, our players drunks. You cry and whine about one Favre post that’s actually a NFL investigation but get mad at me because I prove to you how bad your team is in return? You get mad at me because I defend my hispanic QB, get mad at me because I defend my CB that has made a few too many kids? You can whine about my attitude all you want but your friends at the DN brought it out of me. I tried to be civil and it’s gotten to the point of no return with you guys. If you was around from my original welcome their you wouldn’t speak of my actions. I don’t hold you at fault if you haven’t been there from the beginning but you should really go digging on one of the “Moss traded to Vikings” post that was on the front page and see what was said. I was civil, and attacked and if you can’t take the punishment you give you should just keep your mouth shut.

You misrepresent the circumstances, and I am not mad at you.
I thought the thread about Rex Ryan was in good fun, with many people including the OP expressing admiration for him as a coach. Hell, I doubt that many of us would have a problem with a coach-swap. Also noteworthy, it was not linked/posted on GGN. The ignoramus who made the wetback comment was appropriately banned and does not represent me any more than he represents you. If someone here at GGN offended me I would not consider that a carte blanche to show my ass in every thread on the site.
You are obviously a smart person, but even here I think you have over-reacted. Try as hard as you wish to defend last week’s display you will not be successful. Better to admit it, blow it off and move on. Or you can just continue to claim that all of us at DN are irrational racist morons who hate any visitor expressing an opinion. Honestly, I don’t see how that does you any justice but it’s entirely your prerogative.
I had no intentions on riling them up…
you wrote that here today, but…
Have you not seen me riling them up? ….you need backup, here I come!
you wrote that a week ago…seems a bit contradictory to your “impression management” tactics here.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
I had no intentions to stir anything up with you guys. My first comment there was a Moss congratulation. I come back and see people reply by calling Sanchez a wetback. You throw a stone at me I’ll throw 500 at you. I’m a New Yorker thats how I play the game. I didn’t come to rile you up, you guys provoked me and that’s when I began giving you facts of how bad your team is, showing you that the wetback is playing far better than Favre. You guys didn’t like it and I’m glad. Don’t come here and try to act holier than everyone. You and your entire fanbase are the same and if anyone took the time to look into your background as you do mine they would see you are as immature as they come.

Or this one... as per MiketheIntern:
I don’t tell people to comment to the things I say. I have an opinion and I’m free to use it. If you don’t like what I have to say you are not obligated to reply. Btw, if I am one of the "cum guzzlers" you speak of you should take a step back a realize you’re the real "cum guzzler". You choose to reply "asshat" on every comment I make no matter what I say, that’s "cum guzzler" activity. I give my opinion on my own, not as a reply but as a simple comment that can be completely ignored. Imply that I’m a cum guzzler all you want, the true cum guzzler is you. I don’t see the insults as being necessary but if you cast a stone at me I will cast one back. Let the replies commence.
I said one little thing about Favre
Was your “one little thing” that multi-thousand word Fanpost, complete with provocative pictures and editorializing, that is easily the longest single piece of writing posted at DailyNorseman in the last year, and was such an innocuous thing that you subsequently decided to go back and delete the entire fanpost after the game was over? Or is it the things you are still posting over there three days AFTER the game was played, which have nothing to do with that game?
The amazing thing is that you only joined DN ten days ago, and yet — even after deleting your fanpost, which contained dozens and dozens of reply comments from you as well — you still have TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN comments since you joined. Count in the ones you deleted, you were averaging 30, 40, or 50 posts a day at DN!

With all do respect...
If another site is talking smack about the Jets, I for one, will jump into that foray. Its something that some people enjoy and it isn’t something that should be policed here. Particularly if the subject of fanposts and front page stories are dedicated entirely to talking smack about the Jets. If they have a problem with Jets fans taking up that challenge, then maybe they shouldn’t throw down that gauntlet. Particularly cases where that gauntlet is laid down by official writers. Again, that isn’t some thing that should be policed here.
I seen that to.
On the Vikings board there was a front page fan shot about Cromartie and the amount of children he had. They were completely destroying him in that post. I also seen a Fanpost about Rex’s “Diet” and why he is so fat which got rec’d like no tomorrow. I’m with you crack, I try to keep my mouth shut but I just can’t when it comes to things like that. Those Minny fans dish out so much talk and can’t take one opinion.

you realize a fanshot can be created by anyone, right? and that it is created by a single person. So, why the “they” in your comment above? I don’t think fans from the GGN in the whole are intolerable, quite the opposite in fact, I & other got a nice reception here last week. I just think you specifically are intolerable.
And, really, you use this as an excuse to admittedly do the same low blow thing yourself? Didn’t your mother ever teach you “two wrongs don’t make a right?”
Finally, you do realize there is a BIG difference between a DN fan mocking a Jet on his own site, and a GGN fan mocking a Viking on his opponent’s site, right? If you don’t, read and reread and reread John B’s post until you get it. That is EXACTLY what he is trying to tell you, too! Please tell me you’re not that oblivious to John B’s meaning.

People can jump into any foray they want. They should just know there are going to be consequences if they can’t act with class and act the way they should.
It may be your opinion this doesn’t affect us. It does, though. It encourages knuckleheads to come here to get “revenge” and creates headaches for us.

John I understand what you’re saying and I appreciate the sentiment. But frankly, who are you to police the behavior on other blogs? The only people that represent GGN are those that officially write for GGN.
If another site doesn’t want a certain “new member” to continue to contribute, let them handle it. Worry about GGN. Think about what you’re saying. For example, if me and MiketheIntern are on P&T and get into it with a Celtics fan about the Jets and the Pats, a spat that P&T takes no issue with, your saying you will potentially ban us over here if the convo doesn’t suit your taste.
Honestly, what you propose is ridiculous. If a site doesn’t enjoy the company of a new member let them handle it. If you don’t enjoy the actions of somebody on GGN, then handle that. Or if you want to have more control over particular members, then perhaps you should ask them to become official GGN contributors so that you can have some legitimate basis for controlling what they write.
As for me. If you want to ban me then go ahead and ban me. I like contributing here and engaging with everybody else that comes here. But i’m going to write whatever the heck i feel like writing.
IDK I have seen the mods ask the same thing of their readers all over SB Nation not just GGN. Like when the Yanks/ Twins played the Yankees Mods made it crystal clear if people were on the Twins site acting like jerks, there would be consequences on the Yankee site.
I would totally agree with you if the request was don’t go to Fanhouse and be disrespectful, but isn’t SB Nation just one big community not just individual sites for each team?
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.

The problem is that the Jets have opened themselves up to a nationwide berating.
Hardknocks and our boisterous head coach have given the nation the opportunity to jump all over the team and the fans. The team has become relevant in so many ways in todays culture that it was bound to create a polarizing opinion of everything that the team does or says. That swings the door wide open for the entire nation to bash and put down every little thing the team does. Mabye that made Jet fans a lil edgy and quick to defend their team.
So when Patspulpit pushes an articles to the front page that bashes our head coaches weight or a team site pokes fun at Cro when he couldn’t remember the names of his 17 kids, we all get bent bc were not used to it. Were going to see team sites ready to bash us at every turn. And if this site is going to hold me to a higher standard then im going to try to not to be offensive even if I think Im just defending my team.. I’ve made that mistake before. I’ll do my best not to do it again.

That being said, Are we talking out of both sides of our mouth?
If were ging to promote the “grandma rule” like John says. And we acknowledge the fact that the fans should be on a reasonable behavior on this site because, as John says, Children visit this site… Then why is the site posting a link to the deadspin audio and pics of Favre’s junk? I feel like this site drifted into an “anything goes” kind of atmosphere by posting that to the main page.
It’s like “Hey everybody, heres a link to pictures of Brett Favre’s penis but don’t comment anything that you wouldn’t say in front of your grandmother”. Really???

i had to rec you for that, colinyoung.
and, one of the posters here took it “into his own hands” to put that same fanpost up on the DN and trolled it to a climax. however, it was quickly flagged for inappropriate content and was"’yanked".
he later posted another equally inflammatory fanpost on the DN and trolled it with dozens of comments trying to illicit friction and negativity. a great many of the posters at the DN objected to those comments and asked him to stop and leave. as you can imagine, the post was lit up with comments objecting to this practice and most of those comments ended up with multiple rec’s and the old “thumbs up”.
somehow that post disappeared as well.
it is unfortunate that that same poster continued troll the DN for the entire week prior to the game leaving approximately 300 comments, most of which were centered on that particular video with the “man junk”. i imagine that most people would find those actions to be rude and be perceived as a deliberate attempt to cause ill will and negativity.
with his pulled fanposts, his current total is 257 fanposts at the DN from october 4, 2010.
that is the date he joined the DN (can you guess who it is?).

I understand that side of it, John. I do.
But weather the site is merely posting the allegation with good reason or not, the reason becoms a moot point when the site provides a link to view something that dosn’t adhere to the guidlines that were talking about now which is “inappropriate content”. It’s like walking a kid to the door, giving him the key but then saying “your gonna see some inappropriate stuff in there but Im in no way responsible for what you see because I didn’t force you to watch it”.
I think we also have to realize that just by being loosely connected to that content by PROVIDING A LINK on the site, GGN may end up inadvertently be giving just enough slack on the leash for some idiot to take the next step. Especially when the reasons for posting that content are too easily called into question because we just happen to be playing that team the week It’s posted.
I realize my point isn’t as clearly definable as I would like, but I do think there is a connection there. I don’t think this site should post links to that kind of content. Reporting the news is fine. Everybody does that. Everybody knows that Tiger Woods had an affair with a Porn Star. But respectable media outlets didn’t follow up that story with a link to see nude pictures of Joslyn James. It dosn’t add to the story and neither does seeing Favre’s wank, but I do think It casts the site in a bad light.
I started this thread with the best of intentions and 2 people yanked it off course. Im sorry, John.

You don't have to come here and lie man.
Firstly, I pulled my own post because all it received was negativity, there was no trolling, all I did was post links from different people reporting it and I wish I still had it to prove how much you are a liar. It’s not my fault that you guys took so badly to it. Was it a bit crossing the line? Yes I admit it, but you forget the simple fact that if i’m attacked I attack back. Not my fault someone called Sanchez a wetback which pissed me off. I came back at you guys twice as hard. Not my fault one of your writers called out Cromartie about his kids. You attack my players and expect me to smile?

that is just a plain and simple fact.

The first one was pulled because there was a link to the deadspin article.
The second one I pulled myself because I grew sick of everyone’s whining.
he later posted another equally inflammatory fanpost on the DN and trolled it with dozens of comments trying to illicit friction and negativity.Lie, I quoted writers from CBS, FOX, Yahoo and others to show you fools how serious the investigation was. It is not my fault that you cried about it and wanted to act like it never happened.
it is unfortunate that that same poster continued troll the DN for the entire week prior to the game leaving approximately 300 comments, most of which were centered on that particular video with the "man junk".
This is just an complete lie. Most of my post was about Sanchez being better than Favre after someone called Sanchez a wetback, that someone is now banned. I was there before this Favre story even blew up and when it did I posted a fanpost because to my surprise no one talked about it. I admit that I have been a douche, but it isn’t all the time and it’s only because you guys threw the first stone. I didn’t come out of nowhere and trash your site. Any problem you have with me is your own fault. I’m over at milehighreport taking to denver fans the same way I tried to do with Minnesota fans. Fans in denver are way more civilized and we can actually have a conversation, if I was such an asshole I would have stirred up trouble there and if I was such a troll like you like whine about I would be banned from the DN which I am not because I gave stats, facts and reported a NFL investigation. If you don’t like it don’t read.

I have and you can quote me all you want.
It just proves that you are the immature, uncivilized type of fan that Minnesota has. I’ve been an ass there but I’m not really sorry for it. So continue with your childish antics, you’re respect is not wanted here.

Irony
This exchange takes place in the article where people are asked to behave better.
Needless to say, I am dead serious. If the nonsense doesn’t stop, I will put it to a stop.

like i was saying...good game monday, and congrats on the jets win.
we love to talk football with visiting fans at the DN. we are tolerant of a lot of opinions and people from other native boards. but your fanpost here brings to light the situation where a few of your individuals caused unwanted friction on another board, specifically the DN. i appreciate that you did that.

Not to sound like a child
But he did begin this nonsense. I have no problem retiring from this thread, sorry to crap on the post like I did.

john b, i rec'd your fanpost....particularly for this :
straight up there are no less than two GGN members the other editors and I were considering adding as writers here who have cost themselves an invitation because they do not behave on other sites.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
That's certainly a rec-able reason....

I will admit in the GDT
I lose my control on language, and last monday I told a viking fan to do something unpleasant to himself, so I apologize.
But when we are quoting the whole, “We got Revis, and he’s pretty F***ing good!” does bother you?

I doubt people are still reading this post... but one thing should be considered when taking insults from other members...
Click on the member, find out how long they have been a member of the site and if they are active.
I would venture a guess that half these “Wetback” comments were done by people who signed up just to talk smack and make that kind of inflammatory comment.
