How do we have 24 people on this site after the Winnipeg game, but yet it's the same 5 people posting. Come on guys , join the debate/discussions, we don't bite. Well some of us don't

Stop reading and start posting you slackers.

This might sum up the fan base as a whole. High TV ratings but lots of empty seats at the stadium.

I like to read the posts, but I'm not as knowledgeable as a lot of people on the site so I tend not to post if I don't think I can legitimately contribute.

Very long time reader and lifelong Argo fan (met some of you I'm sure), but not a poster. Sorry guys, but aside from the actual content being offered - this site is run WAY too militantly for my chosing. No swearing, no opinions, banning posters etc. Not my style. I believe in freedom of speech. Enjoy.

Not good enough reasons not to post. This kind of reminds me as why people don't go to the games. They list completely irrelevant or untrue reasons. Swearing is not allowed in almost every forum. And to be honest, it's quite hard to have any conversation when someone is f'ing everything. Opinions are what this site is all about, definitely allowed. There is only a problem when you list a particular opinion in every single post or topic, you just tick people off.

I've been on quite a few different sites and found this one to be the friendliest and most supportive. Believe me there are sites in other sports where, even when their team is in first place for most of the season, more fans are making negative than positive comments about their team's players or coaches and insulting other fans. Here the vast majority of people willingly help others find info, team merchandise, etc. when asked. You're welcome to jump right in.

This is the first site I have joined and I really like it, there is definitely a friendly feel about this site.
Why would you even bother with a site that entertains personal attacks and insults???

CFLZone.com tried to be the kind of site where anything and everything goes and now it is lucky to get two posts a week. The mods on here have a tough and thankless task which I would not want but I think that they do a pretty good job of balancing freedom of speech while keeping a level of decorum on here.

**Wobbler** · 07-21-2013, 08:39 PM

WCB has a point - we have overmoderated a few times. I really think that this is a quite friendly environment for Argo fans, however. Opinions expressed in the S&I forum will be taken seriously, FWIW.

**Fungi** · 07-21-2013, 08:50 PM

Bullshit! The over sensisitive moderator and his soccer and Ticat buddies make this sight non sequitor. Ravi is a sponge. Not all people are like that. I've seen a guy attack argosister....
1argoholic has threatened to jump ship a few times...and our poet laureat MB is malighned alot. AV is a football guru.
I lurk...that's it...I won't participate because of the negative BS. Argo's rule...
I'll still lurk... but won't be back.
Good luck in Gods country 1Argoholic! I miss that place. Get a canoe!

Thank you for the clear illustration, Fungi.

What sort of forum do Argonauts fans want?

I asked you to stop attacking them. Because every second post of yours was attacking Cossack, or T-bone. You then complained to me about the site being negative. Meanwhile you were contributing to much of the negativity. funny how that works

There are certainly a lot of different personalities on here which makes it difficult to please everyone though. Again, I wouldn't want the task of being a moderator. I probably shouldn't have brought the topic of moderating up.

Every cfl forum has no swearing. The only onion not being shared is the people who don't post. Only banned 2 people EVER. One for insulting members and releasing personal information about players, the other (which expires today) for having a personal agenda against Chris Rudge and hijacking every thread after repeated warnings.
