It's no different than any other moderation on this site.

People get "suspended" / "censored" when they are trolling or being overly negative all the time.

If you come into this thread just to be negative or to try to discredit the posters who are sharing information they have then it's trolling.

No different than Oilers fans that troll Flames threads.

Not that hard to just stay out of this thread or to block those posters if you don't like the information they are sharing. No need for the drive-by posts.

Yeah... how dare it be fun.

That pain you are suffering for having to take 1/4 of 1 second to scroll past those gifs cannot be under-stated.
The burden is immense.

Well, moderation - a form of censorship - is part of every forum.

Last post on this topic for me but isn't the simplest solution to stop crapping on posters if you don't like it. That will stop all the 'lame appeals'

Do you pay for the tidbits? I didn't think so... So I can communicate it anyway I want.

That might be 'lame' but it's harmless.

Posters like cam_calderon 'calling them out' for posting gifs, is exactly the unnecessary negativity that causes the downward spiral and incessant bickering.

If you can't scroll past someone saying "I want more rumours" (in a rumours thread), that's on you

You're missing the point. I've held this opinion for months now, I'm only pointing it out because if Sec pivoted to just posting the info, it would contribute to this thread becoming good to read again.

It's trolling, and ruining the experience for the rest of forum.

They share inside information at the risk of it not coming true. Sometimes it's going to come to fruition, sometimes it doesn't, doesn't mean they were lying.

I agree. Not sure how anybody can doubt sec about the Markstrom info? Most of the media has now said it was very very close to happening . There was a hiccup along the way which sec also pointed out before anybody.

That’s your opinion. I like his posts. I find your post obnoxious and beyond annoying, and am rightfully calling it out.

Why do they annoy you? Plenty of people post gifs.

Do they annoy you because you put value in his opinion? because if you don't put value in his opinion, then they shouldn't matter to you

Do what you want, of course. I'm not your mother. I'm simply suggesting you post like an adult because your contributions are valuable to the dicussion.

I didn't say it wasn't something I couldn't scroll past, I was just making a suggestion to clean it all up.

Ban people from mentioning them at all. Then no one can criticize or detract or be negative or whatever, and we also clean up the whiny "can i have more rumors please dealer" stuff.

Not looking for anyone that is a liability defensively and can chip in some offence typical of a fourth line player. Honestly I think Pospisil fits the mold perfectly and I’m wondering if there are any others that fit that player type available with maybe the additional feature of stepping up to fight some of the bigger players in the league.

Definitely not trying to go back to the days of Lucic but just looking for someone that steps up to straighten out someone like Evander Kane when he’s taking too many liberties. Ideally a player with good wheels and is strong on the forecheck.

Can anyone think of a player like that who could be a solid target for a team that’s continuing to get younger and could use some muscle in the bottom half of the lineup? I keep imagining a forward but if there’s a defenceman that fits that mold, the flames are shy on those next year as well.

Cuylle, 22, 6'3", 205lbs, NYR, LW, this guy is going to be a stud. If you want a future top 6 powerforward that can throw big hits, be a physical presence, drop the gloves, battle infront of the net, and carry the puck well, then he's your guy.

Kolesar, 26, 6'2", 216lbs, VGK, RW, hits everything that moves, brings phsyicality, and plays with an edge. he's a middleweight when he drops the gloves.

Pazzeta, 25, 6'0", 218lbs, MTL, A pest, big hits, good speed, has some very good fights.

Malenstyn, 26, 6'3", 201lbs, C/LW, WSH, again a lot of hits and hard battles. Doesn't shy from the extra curriculars after the whistle, but isn't much of a fighter similar to Weegar. Former Hitman.

Smaller players that are hard to play against:
Cotter, 24, 6'0", 185lbs, VGK, LW, battles hard, hits hard, always goes to the hard areas.

Lauzon, 26, 6'0", 205lbs, NSH, LD, league leader in hits. Always battles hard, blocks shots, and leaves everything on the ice. Middleweight, remember him fighting Z in a game against us this year, he held his own despite the size mismatch.

Kartye, 22, 5'11”, 203lbs, SEA, LW, I see him having a similar career to Mangiapane, smaller guy that thrives in the hard areas, very competitive, brings a physical element, and is soon going to find his scoring touch.

That's everyone I could think of, but I'm sure there's more.

No, you're missing the point. If you don't like the gifs, scroll on by. ####ting on Sec, because you don't like them, is the worst kind of posting. Not only does it add nothing, but it creates a negative environment that ends up in conversations like this.
