Folks read the threads before you post...and don't believe everything you see on the internet or kids' social media.

Pardon my not reading through 9 pages of posts beforehand.
Does someone have to believe everything they find on the internet in order to share for the sake of a conversation?
I am truly an amateur, something that the professionals here have no qualms about pointing out.
I've been following iterations of this board for probably 20 years, yet have less than 300 posts.
This is the main reason why I don't post more.
Is there a "kiddie pool" version of this forum where such faux pas are tolerated?
Or perhaps this is just my final time on this forum at all.
If you read the threads before posting you may learn something you didn't know. I know folks get excited about sharing info but sometimes it's already been posted or has been debunked.Pardon my not reading through 9 pages of posts beforehand.

Keep posting, my friend. It takes time to get the hang of it. You're not the only one who's been directed to previous posts (Class of 2019 - JUCO WR Reggie Hemphill-Mapps (TX)). Not sure if you noticed the pinned threads, but there's a lot of information listed up top that that's worth checking out: there's a complete list of all the players SU signed in December ('19 class). There's also a thread that explains the NCAA D-1 FB contact schedule .. that will tell you where/when the coaches are out on the road and when recruits can sign. You can follow the SU twitter feed, which is very creative and well done. Sometimes during the week (in a contact period) you'll see a thread about recruits visiting that weekend. If you familiarize yourself with all that information, you'll be at board speed.Pardon my not reading through 9 pages of posts beforehand.

Thanks. And I have started sitting in on the BB Game Threads...Some posters can be jerks but overall the mods are just getting to the point and not intending make anything sound personal.
Cuselegacy has been telling long time posters pretty frequently, in the recruiting thread, to get back on topic when threads start to wander. So it’s nothing personal, don’t take it personal and the board will be more enjoyable.
And don’t post on the BB board. That makes life even more enjoyable.

What you are saying about a "conversation" may hold truth on the main BB and FB forums where there are a myriad of discussions going on but I wouldn't say the same about the recruiting forums. I would describe the threads on here as more of a "read". Most threads don't receive much input unless a visit occurs or there seems to be mutual interest from prospect and staff. Most threads even then don't receive that many pages of commentary or info, that's what happens when over 300 kids are offered in a class. It's usually the ones where there is a commitment, a lot of speculation that goes on and on...or where the kid has a good name.Keep posting. Some people don't seem to understand how these boards work. People float in and out. Most people don't have the time or interest to read everything. For a whole variety of reasons, some posters may not quite grasp the meaning of a particular message or thread even if they've read it all. I don't see the problem with asking clarifying questions or giving an opinion, even if that question or opinion has been repeated a million times. Other posters are free to ignore it and move on.
That's just the nature of the online "conversation." You can't have the same expectations here that you would have in a person-to-person discussion on the phone or in the flesh.

(going to assume sarcasm but I love this gif)I'm going to disagree with others. You should not post. You don't seem to have the right attitude to meaningfully contribute here.
Reading a thread before posting is not asking too much. You are so focused on yourself, but you are not looking out for the community - many of whom read/post daily. Having to repetitively read old debunked links does not advance the conversation and does not advance the needs of the community.
To be sure, there should not be a piling on aspect that can be common on boards like this. But there should be a posture of humility rather than defiance. You messed up in not reading the thread and posting, and rather than receiving the correction you have made it all about yourself. That kind of self focused attitude tends to drag down communities rather than build them up. If you cannot acknowledge an error (which we all make) and try to do better next time, then it is probably best you refrain from posting.

Yep me and pacusewife love the show so much so our newest daughter shares two names with companions from the showDr Who?
And no never, ever assume anything.
I truly appreciate your encouragement and that of others.
As much as I enjoy Syracuse sports, I have only so much time to spend on this. I pop in and out for brief moments of time and if I feel inclined, I post.
I am simply not going to review multitudes of postings prior simply to deprive one of the board elitists a "gotcha moment".
I get it, if I had, I would've realized it's all been previously discussed and I have nothing of value to add.
Given I am getting older, perhaps this is my "get of my lawn moment", but I have issues with the snarky, condescending, dare I say quasi-hostile responses one receives for merely seeking to participate.
Post a tidbit of information?
Response: "That is sooo post #32, we've all moved on..." - and of course all caps are used for certain words to communicate just how annoyed they are that anyone would dare post something they could've easily just skipped if not interested.
Post a link from rotoworld will ya? (Are they now some sort of tinfoil hat, fly by night operation? Is their an ultimate authority here on what sites are "link worthy"?)
Response: "Your posting fake news!"
To debate Its veracity was the very reason it was posted, for the sake of a conversation. Many pardons again for not paging back far enough to see it already had been.
Another Response: "Dont believe everything you read on the internet"
Ok, Thanks!
How about other pearls of wisdom like: "Dont take candy from strangers", "Look both ways before you cross the street" or "Make sure you pee before you leave for a long trip"
I fully understand the moderators here have a tough job and I fully respect them and would seek the same in return. Thus I'd only suggest that they consider in such situations that they are addressing another adult. Especially when such an admonishment is made via the public forum.
But perhaps it is my attitude that is the problem, either way probably best I dont post here any longer...or at least take a long break.
I see what you did thereBecause these posts were clogging up the Hemphill Mapps thread I put them here in this thread.
