- Personal attacks on other community members are unacceptable, practice the good manners your mama taught you when engaging with fellow Dawg fans
- Use common sense and respect personal differences in the community: sexual and other inappropriate language or imagery, political rants and belittling the opinions of others will get your posts deleted and result in warnings and/ or banning from the forum
- 3/17/19 UPDATE -- We've updated the permissions for our "Football" and "Commit to the G" recruiting message boards. We aim to be the best free board out there and that has not changed. We do now ask that all of you good people register as a member of our forum in order to see the sugar that is falling from our skies, so to speak.

Up until now I have never received more than 1 DV
98% of my DV's came from one certain member, I think he stalks me...
I agree, Jim. I think it would be a lot more useful to make all of the votes visible. If the DV is from somebody who gives out DVs like candy at Halloween, you can consider the source and discount it. If it's from a reasonable fellow Dawg fan, maybe you take another look at what you wrote, or how you said it. Anonymity makes them useless imo.
Honestly, in all the message boards and forums I've posted in regularly over the last ten years, this is the most I've ever seen a group get wrapped up in down-voting. It really shouldn't have any effect and moderators can tell if there's DV stalking going on and put an end to it under the new forum rules.
We're (mostly) adults here and should understand that these are internet points, not redeemable for prizes or containing any other residual monetary value. From my perspective, forum participation is for fun and engaging in mutual, shared interests. DVs shouldn't affect your enjoyment in that.
I personally don't think a down vote is that big of a deal. More like youtube, more like a like or a dislike. I rarely use it, but Flagging a post is what I use when someone is being abusive. That should remain anonymous.

wow gifs don't work? I've been gone too long. Just winking at you for giving you your first multi dv comment. ;)
I respect your opinion on the matter and won't try to sway you from it.
pffft. I get down votes at family reunions. They keep moving where they hold it to throw me off but I still hunt them down. Hey, free food is free food even if it's served with disgust. That's why I want a free Kroger food card so bad.
I’m not sure how many downs I got when I said Justin fields should redshirt. Guess that one didn’t matter, he was dipping regardless. Got some negative feedback for my drunken rant about Disneyland. Neither of those did well.
There's no prizes!?
First place - set of steak knives.
Remember your ABCs: Always Be Commenting.
I'll try . More of a listener
How on earth did y'all install bulletin board code on actual people
If I could get downvotes in person I'd have been buried a long time ago. Too many puns.
