The biggest problem most have on this board

The biggest problem most have on this main board is not that someone is a “newbie” or even that they signed up in the last 24 hours... or in the past week or month... it's that you choose to come onto this board and be negative. If you come on this board and are negative you are going to get harassed. If you are “newbie” and/or you just signed up you are just asking for it.
I've been a member for a while. I don't post everyday, and sometimes I don’t even get a chance to check Tigernet and read anything at all. However, when I do come on here I like to read the positives not the bitching. I don't want to see whining or bickering between everyone and I especially don’t like to read it from newcomers. If you want to complain then complain, but establish yourself as a non-complainer before you come on here with your soap box.
For the most part, the people who are “enthusiasts” and “fans” are paying members. We don’t like it when people come to OUR house and dirty it up.
If you are going to get on here and say … “I’ve been a member since xxxx…” and “I give $xxxx amount a year to Clemson” have a nice tall glass of “who gives a rat’s ###!!” to wash down a plate of “shut the #### up!!” We don’t want to hear it!! Most of us are supporters of Clemson and deep pocketbooks don’t help your credibility on a message board.
If you want to help, then get your ### down to Tallahassee this weekend and put your ### in seat and instead of bitching… cheer for the Tigers!!
Flame away
Go Tigers!!!!

It's the price that is paid for making a valid point here. Sad but not surprising.

From what I have read, it is "veterans" that are on here whining and crying about a #### bus ride causing us to lose a game. Just because we are called "newbies" and don't post all the time doesn't mean we aren't bleeding orange like most on here. Some of us just know how to call a spade a spade.

I learned about the stuff about complainers the hard way. I came on here saying some stuff I now regret after the Tangerine Bowl, and trust me, it didnt exactly make me happy friends with everybody. In fact, Crump banned me. But I learned my lesson. I was just angry and went kind of insane. Anyway, this shoudl be a lesson to those newbies who try to come on here starting crap. its a bad idea! and people DONT like it!

I probably have been a member longer than I care to admit, and I hardly post as much (time constraints and my preference to the lounge).
But my sentiments exactly... deep pocketbooks don't necessarily translate into true non-fairweather fans.

The people with "stupid symbols" are the ones who help pay for this board so freeloaders like you and me can read and post.

Depends on what you mean by negative. If you mean

personally demeaning coaches, players or other posters I would agree 100%.
Or do you mean that a post is negative simply because it observes that the team so far has looked soft and without character, and that this is perhaps a characteristic of TB teams? IMO, while that type of observation can and should be debated, it can certainly be made without indicating a lack of loyalty or a failure to "pull for the Tigers". Two alums sitting over a cup of coffee can and do talk like that all the time, so why is it disloyal on this board?
