Title: Why Phog.net sucks
Post by: KansasForever on August 05, 2008, 05:56:45 PM
The whole "star" voting system for posts is so sixth grade.  Also, if you post something too controversial, expect to get repeatedly one-starred by the rabble.  Even dumber, if you are merely the bearer of bad news, in the form of a link that one of our players is going to jail or something, the sheeple will one-star you to death.  Finally, the mob is generally too braindead to grasp fine subtleties and will one-star you because they don't get what you said.

I had a bunch of dudes trash my good-natured post because I implied I would rather be partying on Mass St. with 80,000 of my closest friends after a National Championship than standing in line filing out of the Alamodome with 20,000 p***ed-off Memphians.  I was promptly put in my place by all the snotty suburban kids whose parents paid for them to spend a week in San Antonio.  God forbid us poor rural folk have fun somewhere else.

Oh, and all the new posters who think they can outsmart Earthdog, and don't realize that Tom doesn't ban him because he is a massive draw, not just to the site, but to the premium forum where he can't get away with as much.  Yeah.  You people suck.

Bingo! Every time I post something it gets one star, even if it is just a question and/or is reasonable. They're like "hey it's a Kansas State fan, what a fag I am going to one star his post. See how cool I am?". It's also annoying how the think we should move to the MW or C-USA and how they call us grapes KSUcks.

true but it sucks to have to create a fake account to read it when you are banned for posting the matt scott rant on kstatefans the day after beating ku.

This must be it.  Tom will absolutely not ban a flaming poster, but it's not for freedom of speech, it's to drive the ku fans into the pay forum, which really sucks.  Not saying I wouldn't do it that way myself.

Not much groupthink over on phog.net.  That makes it very enjoyable to read.   Their resident board spammers are of an extremely diverse mindset.  Refreshing.

There's a huge amount of groupthink at Phog.net.

Long-time Roy haters
Former Roy lovers, then Roy haters, now Roy lovers post-stickergate (about 80%)
Swamp any publication that doesn't blow us with angry e-mails posters
Not allowed to criticize any aspect of ku ever posters

And so on . . .

Not always though.  If you're a good content evaluator you can find those really hard-working posts, from small town posters who have been overlooked by the big boys.  Diamond in the rough posts if you will.

The stars don't matter, but they are a reflection on the no-humor, no-talent a$$clowns that make up the majority of Phog.net.

I saw they gave up on those at kstatefans.  There was an incident where someone was going back through all of catmatts old posts and one starring all of them.

The one day I was not banned on Phog I was going through the front page and 1 starring everyone's posts except Rusty's which got 5 stars.  They started yelling at Rusty for doing it and I just LOL'd and got banned for an unrelated post 3 minutes later.

True story:  for like 6 months now, whenever I try to get on any Scout message board my internet browser shuts down and says that it has "unexpectedly quit."  Could this somehow be Tom Light's doing?
