Hey folks - as a member of the DawgNation community, please remember to abide by simple rules of civil engagement with other members:
- Please no inappropriate usernames (remember that there may be youngsters in the room)
- 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.

My bad! We need those so that @BojanglesInsider can give them to Webb and seal the deal at the reveal! Bama fans will be sh*ttin kittens!
Thanks for your kind words WCDawg. Down votes keep me up at night. I can barely function the next day. Evil grin.
Evil bastuds is people too, I gave you a up vote for your vulnerabile admission.
I look forward to meaningful convo in the future.
@ugaforever Even though you confessed, you didn't apologize. (!) But what is worse, you can undo your misdeeds. Find the errant DVs and click on the DV button again to clear it. Either that or be prepared to suffer terrible guilt pangs forever and one day.
On a serious note, a disagree/disapprove button would be nice, and might save a few sparks on replies. Also everyone should be more forthcoming on UVs. If someone puts an effort to compile stats, or get a reference or take most any effort away from simply replying, I'll UV even if I disagree with the conclusion - or at least will feel that I might UV . Anywho, think in terms of contribution to the dialogue and not just about whether or not your point of view is supported. Say good night, Gracie.
Pls downvote this comment
I do think that som people accidentally hit the downvote button while trying to hit the up vote button. I have done the same and caught it to change it
The king has returned
Upon further review, and now its 2 pages...
DV must have originally been set up as a disapprove/do not agree, as in -> no big deal. And the Flag was for serious matters.
I think that is how it should be used. Now if enough DVs merely shrink the comment down, then so be it. There is a flaw in the logic/human condition if a bunch of DVs gets a poster in trouble. Shouldn't work that way. Only a Flag should bring the wrath of khan on the poster.
So, everyone, please: LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS If dire consequences occur as a result of this advice, then I plead guilty of caring, okay? You can charge me with GUILTY OF CARING. And that is all..
How does one find out his point average? > @12ed said:
I was blessed to simply be a part of this historic event. Very humbling.
DV's worry me so much.......for each 1 I get I lose an hours sleep each night.....have not been sleeping much lately
Most irrelevant thread to date. Good lord!
, but the amount of down votes I see on some is ridicules. I joined the forum because I saw open minded DAWG fans enjoying healthy debates without their egos getting bruised. Now it seems this forum is starting to resemble the other sites in their pettiness. I'm not saying everything should be wrapped in bubble wrap and nobody touches the down vote, but be more objective. Trolls, other fans being extremely negative, and self promotions I feel is all warranted for down votes, flags, and off topics. If we are just debating and we are going back and forth save the down vote. Please don't turn this site into an ego fest. We are here for the DAWGS.
That's cool of you to say that... this group should be about positivity and only hating on anything in orange.
The only time I typically dv is when someone is being **** or abusive.
or is a troll from another team... like @jaynole81 or the guy from bama or the tools that come on during USCjr week... or FU week... etc
OU guys were pretty cool other than one guy talking smack about the big 12 being superior, but he even came back to give us respect
ND guys were the nicest ever... they gave parking tips and invited everyone to tailgates, lol
Lol... this was either m e a n or something silly
Lots of solutions here...may I suggest: THICKEN YOUR SKIN
I've never actually seen a forum where downvotes are supposed to be off-limits for just disagreeing. I think it stems from the notion that comments are upvoted or downvoted on merit. That might tend to be true, but it's far from it. So when someone gets a downvote they start coming up with reasons why it's wrong to have downvoted. Honestly, people are gonna disagree, and I don't think a downvote is that mean. It's whatever.
