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.

Incognito down votes and other discussions
Moving off topic discussion about the down votes out of the Few names thread

@scooterdawg
I haven't been in here in a long time.
Is this something new, incognito down-voting?
Yeah, they changed the settings to where only the mods can see who DVs..there's a few stealth ones out there or lots of people with fat fingers. 🤷♀️
Most commenters on this think that we should be able to know our DVers and off topic peeps too.
$10 flat monthly fee I’ll let you know who all your DVers are*
*$1,000 for nycdawg
You're trying to capitalize off my idea......
@DogsNotDawgs
I knew the quality of this forum would continue to decline with the increase of Moderators, I’ve seen it before.
Imo, anyone who WANTS to be a Moderator isn’t qualified to be one.
As for the secret dvs, maybe the Mods want to be able to dv anyone they want, as often as they want, without revealing their prejudice.
@Mickey_Hand I just down voted you so you dont have worry about who it was.
@deutcshland_dawg
Whatever gave you the idea that I was worried?
I don't use the DV at all. Don't want to hurt anyone's Itty bitty feelings. As for them being secret from members we as mods have nothing to do with that. Take it up with the Vanilla Forum IT d00ds........
@dawgnms
Instead of imputing motives to me that are not mine (probably based on things you know about yourself), and you guys closing ranks in a manner worthy of the L.A. Police of the ‘90s, you could do something constructive.
For instance, you could lobby the Powers That Be (if in fact that’s not you), to make it impossible to vote, either up or down, unless the voter attached it to a comment explaining his opinion.
Here’s a link to the issues/suggestion thread for the forum. Feel free to add any improvements you’d like to see, and please share any specific items of mods ruining this site for you and we’ll try to improve.

We do lobby for changes and WE as mods have no access to make said changes. Myself personally I do not like the down vote option and would like to see it go away, unfortunately up votes and down votes are tied to the point system here where members earn thier ranking (freshhman, sophmore, etc.) and badges....and up to the powers that be that PAY $$$ for YOU and others to come here and post FOR FREE and of course diss us mods........so carry on
I think the change to hide who DV posts was a mistake. If you downvote something you should be willing to stand behind it.
I'm sure there's a few rogue DVers out there but generally speaking, I haven't noticed it being abused. For posts that have lots of DVs, it's usually pretty obvious why they have lots of DVs.
