Plus it feels like it's always the same 3 or 4 people participating in a back and forth pissing match that usually ends with Donger asking a lot of questions.

Here's the perfect example, looking at those two threads I linked, of how CP tries to have its cake and eat it too.
In the first thread, I ask the forum what's wrong with DC. BEP is the very first response: Quote:

CP's braintrust either has to make markedly unpopular policy decisions, which it has historically proven it doesn't have the stomach for, or it will just have to live with the monster it created in the lab. |

In-depth breakdowns and Xs and Os threads don't tend to do well around here. Meanwhile, any poop or food thread is guaranteed to get 100 posts easily.
CP is what it is. |

That's because the same people that think they know what is going on don't like to be wrong or hear what the X's and O's guys have to say, and try to shit on the entire thread. Its the same people every time, and they are clueless about the game.

I haven't read this entire thread. Apologies if my suggestions have already been brought up.
Here are the things that would help discussion: - More intelligent posters. There are some incredibly intelligent football minds on this site. Some of them are also pretty vitriolic. So the board is far happier to ridicule them when they are wrong than to take each discussion in stride. That mindset also disincentivizes any other posters from posting an opinion (except for obvious trolls). This isn't to say that there aren't a ton of intelligent posters here, but that most don't post intelligently, either by habit, for humor... whatever... - Get rid of DC/ Disallow political discussion I'm not advocating for this, but nothing splits up this board more than that. A disagreement over football is one thing, but when it comes to politics, it becomes far more personal and visceral. Those disagreements carry over, whether in actual concrete terms, or just in how we deal with each other. - A few guys with the time and money to have the All-22, and break down the plays (with a football mind. Sorry, Clay doesn't apply, here) Having weekly discussions about concepts, etc would be an awesome asset. However, it would take time and money that people just aren't willing to give. - Draft Planet is part of the Lounge Is this a football board, or not? If it is, then there's no reason for it not to be a part of the front page. If it's a mainly social board (which I suspect it really is), then leave it where it is. |

Why is the no upvote downvote?
Mainly the idea of downvote in obscuring posts if enough people downvote it. It wouldn't delete the post, you could still click or tap on the obscured post to read it, but at least now you could read through the thread and skip the crap if you so choose?

What improves the football discussion is the team playing better and generating talking points among people who don't care to comment solely to criticize the team.
