Constructive Criticism (READ NOW, Instant bans Now In Effect)

[splff3000]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna stay away from the Madden forums for awhile. I enjoy a lot of other forums here at OS and don't wanna get banned from those because they wanna get super strict in the Madden forum. I learned my lesson in one of the "swagger" threads that got closed, where infractions were handed out like fliers. I don't want that happening again, where a legitimate statement like "Is this a joke?" earns you an infraction. I'll be honest though, the mod that gave me the infraction was understanding and reversed it after I explained my case, but the next one might not be. So on that note, I'll take my leave until around October or November, or whenever the 2nd patch releases, to get impressions. Who knows, I may be able to find Madden 11 on Craigslist for 15 dollars, like I did with madden 10, by then. Peace

Haha bro just watch what you say and you're fine. I did see what you posted last night and do agree it was silly for you to get an infraction, but the mod reversed it and its over.

Lol I didn't mean that as a shot at you, sorry dude.

The mods can correct me if I'm wrong but...... I believe this is going to be the standard for OS. Therefore, you will have to mind your p's and q's throughout this site.

Oh and here's to not needing two patches this year

Sourcing AskMen.com makes anyone look silly.

I'd suggest using a more educational website as your source on constructive criticism.
Something like this: http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/comm.../criticism.htm

Sounds fine to me as long as the mods aren't biased/playing favorites. I've read a few comments, since seeing a bunch of accounts banned, that must have been overlooked as the users were not banned and the criticism was not constructive.

Or maybe those users who were banned were MORE critical/malicious than the ones who haven't been banned yet.

It's too late for apologies.....The President is on Air Force One headed to........well........ummmm........wherever you are. Nah, it's cool, I know you weren't referring to me, you were just trying to get a point across and answer the guys question.

I agree that many times criticism is too often destructive but there is a place for it. Anyways, should help clean up the site.
