| Nov. 27, 2010 The real deal Men's 70 114 posts | And another thread bites the dust... Way to go, guys |
| Nov. 27, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | After all is said and done more is said than done. Ain't it the truth. Don't blame any of us for cutting the whole thread. That's not our doing, desire or prerogative. |
| Nov. 27, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | And that thread was heading for positive resolution, too. Gotta believe guys, get involved, spend the time. Be there or be square. |
| Nov. 27, 2010 birdie Men's 70 802 posts | Staff, Why was the thread closed. It seemed to me that we where on a good trend after we got over the BS. Thanks Harry |
| Nov. 27, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | We WERE heading to a good place, Harry. You are right. Let's assume the best for their motivation and say they didn't realize the thread was doing well. Let's assume they might say they don't have time or inclination to monitor the website and that it's just not that important to them in their scheme of things. I think the potential for "GOOD" of this website is unlimited and have said so numerous times. The oppty to develop the relationship between the senior community and SSUSA via editorials, columns, voting, polling, tutorials is an EDUCATOR's dream. And community is furthered if not grounded by it's water hole, the place where all the animals have to come together and then socialize, communicate and grow. The web-site is/could be that water hole and bring on a Renaissance of cultural development and well being in the SSUSA/Senior softball community. |
| Nov. 27, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | einstein Your thought on the DREAM, is just that, a dream. Having a say does not exist, but they do read it. As well as edit it. Both good and bad. Softball will survive as will this site. |
| Nov. 27, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | I got you, Scott and reality does support your skepticism but you never know when an idea's time comes along. God knows we all need hope and can certainly use the help. But, here's the kicker. In true win-win situations everybody's gains. I see this union being an advertizer's dream, for one entity and the oppty for generating lots more relationships and income. |
| Nov. 27, 2010 Stretch14 Men's 50 202 posts | Shouldn't have gone that far. Another soap opera. |
| Nov. 28, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | einstein, Win win situations will only come about when assn's AND players have an honest say in how the the game (rules, equip, etc.) will be played. It used to be this way but it is no longer the case. Sure every now and then one assn will do this or that, & maybe one thing, but when it comes to game time, look who you play... maybe one or two others on bottom end or if lucky a full bracket. Ratings are another complaint from most as well. But it is what it\they are. as I posted something like this before, put up and play or shut up and stay away. |
| Nov. 28, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Hey Harry. You raised a great question many of us have and find valid and if SSUSA doesn't feel the need to respond on the site regarding their policies they can and should be emailed and messaged to know and eventually get our concerns and needs. |
| Nov. 28, 2010 birdie Men's 70 802 posts | Joe, If they close a thread then they are reading the board. I just wish the winter was offer in the east and I can get back to playing. I do believe that all the rest is just BS. Lets tee it up and play. Thanks Harry |
| Nov. 28, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | birdie, Yes they read it. likely every post too. I've had a 1-2 disappear lately for some unknown reason but that's ok. Off hand I believe when you get one deleted you might receive a email about that, but not always. I know Joe knows that. Only thing that bothers me on it is some good info is lost, but i agree in that it would be harder to delete specific ones over the whole thing. IE time consuming at least. Some posts lately, went too far. |
| Nov. 28, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | It would be fairer to determine the offenders, Scott and block them from posting. This would sent the right message to the offender and the whole group that someone is watching, cares and is unafraid to act in behalf of defined, accepted standards and in the best interest of the senior community. |
| Nov. 28, 2010 gary c 418 posts | einstein you and I have closed more threads than anybody. You can't correct the problem until you recognize . |
| Nov. 28, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | gary isn't that one of the first steps of the 12 steps.....LOL.... at least you'll admitt,as i do also that when the VI posts,we'll confuse him with fact oh and along with omar,and then he gets mad... |
| Nov. 28, 2010 gary c 418 posts | mad dog and I don't drink that much but I think our friend is driving me to it. |
| Nov. 29, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | hey he is your friend,don't pull me into this mess...LOL..... |
| Nov. 29, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | einstein, Sometimes simplicity takes away form the laughter within. lol But I also believe DD have much better & more important things to worry about than selective editing. Far easier to ignore that to contribute to nothingness. |
