Since I've been at Pregame, the brain trust has worked hard to eliminate the B.S. and conflicts in the forum. They've banned a ton of guys who wouldn't comply with the rules and others left voluntarily. The site has become very sterile with little or no real debate. There wasn't much debate before, just a lot of name calling and self aggrandizement. it is in fact quite boring.
Yes, now it's a lot easier to navigate through the posts, but the bottom line is: if you can be cordial and present your argument in a non-combative way, you'll stick around. If you're an a**hole about everything and anyone that disagrees, you'll be out of here sooner than later. Who really needs the conflict? Isn't there enough of that in the real world? The forum is a community of people trying to shed insight on sport's contests. Plain and simple. Expand our awareness or get lost.
