As moderators it is very rewarding to see the interest in highschool soccer grow over the past few years. This board has gotten much busier since two years ago. That said, every year there are teams who are having a good year when they generally don't and they feel that they have the right to do a little trash talking on the board. As moderators we try to let people speak their minds, unless there is a problem. However, Timaeus is NOT just a moderator.....he IS an administrator. He basically runs the entire site along with lahs00. It is a privelege to be able to have a forum like this, so when the boss man says to cool it with the trash talking, show the respect due to someone who is a reason why this forum even runs.
On another note, it has been brought to the moderators attentions that the trash talking is starting to bother people on the forum. As a moderator, I will make sure I do all I can to make sure everyone enjoys their time on the forum. Please be respectful of others when posting.

All boards have their rules... I think you should go else where if you have a problem following them. I won't be suprised if you get banned if you keep on bad talking the ppl that created this website.

I have and will continue to moderate posts that I feel are over the line. I have been doing it all along. Most of the time if the whole post is not offensive, I will just modify the post to get the offensive things out of the post and leave the rest. I feel the trash talking on this board is way down from the past few years though.

I think you are missing the point thatsnotmuch..........there is a definite difference between talking up your team and trash talking, hyping your team is one thing as long as you point out the facts but trashing a team or a player is what the administrators are trying to avoid, debates and arguments are good for this board as long as we avoid ad hominem arguments (this means attacking the poster and not the post), I think it is acceptable to state that a team did not play well or up to their standards as long as you back it and do not "trash" the player, team or coach, it is ok to say a ref made a weird or bad call as long as you don't attack the ref personally, and you have to remember that you have all ages and genders on this board so make sure that your talk does not offend......I am new to this board and have thouroughly enjoyed some of the better debates, however I have avoided certain threads because I know they will be redundant and will be comprised mostly of attacks amongst posters, and please don't bite the hand that feeds the board!!
Have fun, post your opinion, but not at the expense of other people, as I tell my students it is not always what you are saying that is getting you in trouble but how you are phrasing it......
Happy Posting!!!

reather or not i believe in what timeaus does, i support it...
I do agree that some trash talking needs to be calmed down, but if there is NO trashtalking, then it isn't High School Soccer... That is what some rivalries are all about... All i ask is that its kept to a clean trash talkin at a minmium....
I have leraned that reather you believe in what the administrator decision, you must support it... There is no way you can change it unless 90% of the people disagree with it... In order for the admin to make the choice tho, they usually have most people's support....
Someone has to step up and say it, and he did

i visit basically everyday and must have missed what even happened. Could someone fill me in? But if i've never had any problems with the board and have only been helped by it. If Timeaus is a big part of the board i wish him to keep up the good work

The problem comes in when personal judgement/opinion is used rather than enforcing the rules. I know the rules well, and several of my posts have been deleted (NEVER edited) just because they aren't positive. Sorry if I'm not gung ho for everything about LA High School soccer.
