Banned by Cougarboard for discussing Cougarguard - Page 2 - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

many of the members, and Steve is fine, but sometimes they take themselves too seriously.

It must really be related to finances. Here we have fun and make no money. There they limit the fun and make money.

Probation: The moderator gave a 2-day probation associated with this penalty.
Appeal: Advertising implies one makes money or is paid to make money.

I have posted nothing advertising, and have merely spoken to friends about supplements, never demeaning this site.

Strictly speaking, advertising would require monetary gain. Any participation in these boards actually results in monetary loss.

Thank you for your consideration.

I thought about CougarGuard when I was on CB. What's going to be my penalty for that?

I'm sure they're keeping a close eye on me over there - I feel like a rebel living on the edge. :wink: I actually posted a reply to a thread asking people's opinions about evolution - really pushing the limit there - I asked for a clarification on what they meant by "evolution" and all of a sudden, I'm banned for a day.

First rule of Cougarboard: Don't discuss CougarGuard!

ute4ever · 08-20-2005, 03:55 AM

A quarter of the posts on Cougarboard are about Utefans.net.

So it's okay to talk about the enemy's board, but not about a fellow Cougar site.

Case closed that El Jefe is only in it for the money.

I wonder if I'll get suspended there because of this post here.

hey maybe we should make it "uteguard" and then we can spam the hell out of cougarboard...

SoCalCoug · 08-20-2005, 04:03 AM

So if someone manages to find the limit here, and gets banned, are we going to be allowed to talk about the banishment?

MikeWaters · 08-20-2005, 05:07 AM

no, not if you wear a trashbag on your head.

It's getting more and more like Junior High, with Jefe as the uptight vice principal. Kind of like Mr. Strickland in Back to the Future.

The problem is that he ends up shutting down the more intelligent folks, and all you have left is the blather. It's non-important non-sports blather. And frankly, it's boring.

Personally, I think if El Jefe were smart about this, he would do the business stuff, and he would let someone else handle the content side of things, and not one of his current moderators. But on the other hand, it's gotten so big, that you've sort of lost the hometown feel of the place.

And we'd be remiss not to mention how the threading of posts affects the nature of a place. There, gems disappear in an instant. Here, the best stuff (hopefully) keeps rising to the top. A different approach.
