I don't know the specifics there, but very recently people were arguing that it was irresponsible for them to post rumors.

Now that it's out there in the open, I gotta say something:

It’s a very straightforward rule:

Such a dumb rule. Someone posts they spoke to his teacher or family and it is

It’s absolutely a rumor until it’s verified.

Not sure I want to fight this battle, but...

The rule was made specifically because of a "firsthand account" that turned out to be false

Avoiding competition with CougConnect I guess…rumors are fine there.

I guess if you pay to advertise, you can violate board rules.

They have their own rules, I'm not sure why you think they'd have to follow ours

El Jefe

The problem is everyone comes here saying to go there to get them all…

lol. They advertise on your website and sell for subscriptions the very thing

I think you're missing the point

El Jefe

I think you are missing the point. You enforce rules in your board yet allow CC

Rumors will always happen. I only made a commitment that CougarBoard wouldn't be the source.

El Jefe

May 8, 7:20am

Yep. Porn will always happen as well.

Ozymandias

Yes, that's an apt comparison to rumors

El Jefe

May 8, 10:55am

You are missing the point again. The logic used to explain the position doesn’t

Harmful is debatable and not straightforward.

Right, what was potentially harmful about it?

Ok..,irresponsible…but not harmful. Just as you stated. Does not fit within

Idacoug

Uh, what was harmful? Are we so soft that a player de committing is harmful?

Ozymandias

May 7, 8:30pm

Except you’re wrong. Most of the speculation was he was being shown the door.

Hmm. Could that be the equivalent of “mutual break up,”

Why are we all pretending to be nice to his dad? His kid plays for a rival.

scootsy

May 7, 7:45pm

Are they really a rival? I mean honestly…

I hope he does so well he transfers to BYU
