I've taken to reading in moderation...basically going days to a week without reading bc it is the same thing over and over and over again and I'm really not missing any new or interesting discussion. And ignore only works if people don't quote everyone. But whatever, I don't expect anything to change so it is what it is in my opinion.
I have TRex on ignore and none of his quotes show up for me.

I spend more time in the box because of it. Why read threads when I know what they will say, know how they will turn out? SSDD Trying to shout people down, as someone else said, pronouncing their opinions to be facts. It all gets so very boring, so unhelpful or creative for the rest.

This board is and always should be open to discussion and differing opinions. It should never become the message board of negativity either. Balance is key. I'll be the first moderator to come out and say I've been trying really hard to restrain myself from trying to censor negative opinions because frankly, our boss makes it perfectly clear he likes it and encourages it. That said, I also feel there are a few posters who constantly go out of their way to slap down anyone who dares try to "pump" or appreciate ANYTHING coach Mac and our staff does. I think this is why people are losing interest in our message board. They're simply tired of being slapped down every time they try to say "yay we got a good one, or at least we got one, where maybe last year we got nobody". We can't even be positive about anything without being labeled a dirty rotten pumper. There's a difference between balance, and allowing the negative people to continuously brow beat anyone who disagrees with them. Balance is key. We really don't have balance. The negative posters are basically put on a pedestal here, and pumpers are shunned and shouted down.

Yup, the only time I know he posts is when it says this threads contains ignored content, or something like that
Hmmm, are you on the app or your computer? I'm exclusive on the app so maybe that's the difference.
