I do think the Moderator should review Fireballs last 10 posts and issue this person a warning for trolling, its pretty clear whats going on here. [Mod Post] I have reviewed Fireballs last 10 posts (which goes back to July 13 and cover 5 threads). I am unsure what you are saying about him trolling? What is clear is that fireball disagrees with you and he finds it amusing that you are quoting a "scout" that you "overheard" in a mall. Note, he is not alone in that thought. I would be surprised if a scout said a player that the team just drafted sucked. Fireball stated why not wait until the player is on ice before calling them the real deal. This doesn't mean don't talk about players, but why call them the real deal until you have seen them? All that does is open yourself up to criticism He was not trolling. These boards can be a tough place because if someone disagrees with you they will frankly tell you that. We moderate the board within the rules and disagreeing is allowed. Although quoting someone who isn't listed as a Scout for Halifax doesn't give you much credibility. Also for future reference, if you have issues with a post, thread it's best to either send a Personal Message to the mods (myself and MikeC for Moosetalk) or you can report the post. We don't see all posts or all threads, thus we could miss a post that asks us to look at something. Have a good day.

What I should have said is flaming rather than trolling as per your guidelines as he has attacked and ridacluled the poster in addition to the post or opinion. According to your guidelines there should be a lot of warnings but probably they are very few as the guidelines are pretty descriptive and leave little doubt as to whether there is a violation however if they are loosely applied thus very few warnings would be forthcoming as in this case.

Don't worry, fireball will go back to stalking chsb soon enough and leave you alone. Take his posts with a grain of salt. If you looked over his past 10, then you know what he's about.

At least he doesn't use Masher as a source....a guy who was wanted by the FBI on fraud charges for misleading hockey players and pretending to work for teams and defrauding hockey parents.

In fairness to Maddie, she most likely didn't and doesn't know who Masher is and what his story is.

If you dont know your source, how can you even use them as a source? Cred is everything...

Holy fuck, why are people around here so quick to tear someone a new one?

Whats the difference? You honestly have to ask that question?? Or do you enjoy coming on here and reading "I heard from a guy at Tim Hortons...."

A poster decided to post that she heard a scout say that a Moose player is the real deal. When questioned on it, she provided who she heard it from...and thus was clearly called out on it. Nothing was over the top and to be honest it was rather civilized compared to other threads. This is not new behaviour, and it's what is expected on these boards. As I said it was rather tame. As for the comment she probably didn't know who Masher is, well she knew enough to know his name...and a quick google search will tell you who he is to see what this person knows about hockey. If I am going to use a source or post something as credible news I always check up on the person...so I don't look like a fool. As for credibility on the boards Gman. Who would you believe on a players ability, lala or chsb?

To use a source you would have to name them

To use a source you would have to name them Im not talking about naming them...im talking about knowing in your gut that what the person is telling you is correct, if you dont know them than dont use them as a source... And yea, its nothing new with you, everytime someone comes on with what they say is inside info you ask for them to reveal their source... Id love for you to go up to Bob McKenzie and ask him to reveal his sources live on air...over time you build cred and people will blindly believe you, like people do with Mckenzie...he doesnt have to reveal anything, his track record speaks for itself...but if you had it your way, hed be naming names live on air.

Who would you believe on a players ability, lala or chsb? Credibility is the word being thrown around here that I have a problem with. Who said it was a credible source? If someone heard me talking about a player I had seen, then they come on here and post how they heard such and such a player was good/bad, whatever, I think most people here are smart enough to know that it's just one person's opinion. Yes, we value some people's opinions over others, but I see no problem with the original post we are discussing here. Why "call her out"? After learning the source, the polite thing to do would be to point out that we can't really trust that source, so we'll have to wait and see. Why is it that posters can't take the high road anymore. It seems being arrogant is the "in" thing. If I'm going to be arrogant, I'm going to call out hfxfan for saying she thinks Clarke, Albeshauser Konrad, or Hannay will lead the team in scoring...

I don't think I have ever asked anyone to name there source. I laughed at them for trying to make themselves look more important or knowledgeable then the next guy. And if you are talking about something , why don't you just come out an say it, instead of leaving things for other people interpretations.
