Rivals football board
I was trying to be a nice guy with helping Mark with HIS members posting stuff here, but at this point it is apparent HE is the one with the problem & needs to resolve it on his own, it is NOT my job to police whether of not his paid content is posted on this site.
People take stuff from this site all the time, that is the nature of the game. Rival Members paid for news & information how the members chose to discuss & where is their provocative and if they feel this board give them a better avenue to do so, then so be it. I believe members of rivals have a certain agreement that they must agree on when they sign-up with rivals, NOT with this board, so rivals should deal with their own members. Mark has done very little to stop this other then expect me to help police the site for content being posted here, I think he need to address this on his end first, but that would mean losing the few members he has. This is becoming ridiculous.

But it's not really suited to chatting with rival fans – discussion, smack, info exchange, etc. I guess I just like the network aspect of Rivals.
this doesnt exsist for the FAU board, and alot of others from what i have heard…i was banned for a rediculous reason based on a series of posting that were aimed at righting the wrong information posted by either mods, or "smack talking" fans, and to that a mod took personal offense - something you shoudl never do…so he did the mature thing and removed my ability to post…something that would NEVER happen on this board unless profanity, or personal attacks, and threats were used…good luck with that desire bud!!

The problem is that Rivals isn't free anymore
They still have a free FAU board. I admit starting a pay board is kind of odd, considering they have never had more than 32 people online at the same time. (Compare that to the high of 8,500 on FSU's board.)
Call it a pre-emptive strike, I guess.
But you're right. Nobody's ever on there. We're all over here.

And Big Dog, it doesn't matter to me if you visit Rivals & take part in their discussion, many members here take part in multiple site, where inofrmantion is shared among each sites. Each board offer something different - that is the beauty of the Web.
Oh, yeah, I'll still go there. I might be the only one there, ;D but somebody has to defend the pride of FAU when and if the smacktalkers show up.

From board to board on Rivals, there is a wiiiiiiiiide range in terms of what the mods will put up with. The UF mod doesn't like when a rival is too critical (to put it nicely). I've heard that the Virginia board will not allow any Virginia Tech people to post. You have to ask for permission on the Kentucky board (and then they have a quick trigger if you're not nice to them). On the other hand, the FSU mods are often tougher on their own. It all depends on the board and who's running it.
If you get banned, usually you can just email them and ask what's up. A lot of times it's a misunderstanding.

i actually called one of the mods at home…yes, im bold…
we had a nice conversation…i explained my side, and he said it wasnt his call…that someone else had pulled my rights…so, i did try that…
he even went as far as to request my reinstatement, but the "decision maker" never responded…
at that point, i was done…its only a matter of principle with me…the reason i got booted was a joke…
i like you description of the other boards…see that being the case BIGTIME…
