NOTICE - READ BEFORE POSTING HERE:
This is the holy grail of Bills forums. We talk about the Bills and the NFL in here. If you can not post without personal insults, getting off-topic, posting expressly to incite other posters, and repeatedly posting the same crap over and over, you may be restricted from posting in this forum without notice. We have rededicated ourselves to policing this forum with a vengeance. If you feel the need to slam others or talk smack, we have other forums available for exactly that purpose. Remember, you are not bigger than the Buffalo Bills. Let's talk football!


Guys (and girls), it's ok for fans of other teams to engage in discussion about their teams on this board. We welcome fans of all teams to post on this message board.
If you aren't interested in reading what they have to say, don't read the threads.
If you choose to read the threads, please don't post a reply unless you have something meaningful to say that contributes to the discussion.
Bashing the fans of other teams makes us, as a whole, appear immature and close-minded.

Thanks.

I agree! Sorry Shelby, If we're not playing their team this weekend, we don't want them :yap: here, tell them to go to the smack zone.
We'll handle them there, according to how they're acting.
The boards have been great lately, all BILLS talk, and no problems.
Then Jet fan posts, and it's troubles again.

It's because we've got such a great board, and the trolls teams don't,
they come here to talk about their teams, and take advantage of ours.
It's fine if they're talking about an upcoming game against them, but we don't need them coming here talking troll football. It causes problems obviously.

What you are not realizing is that you don't have to read their threads if you aren't interested in the discussion.

Driving away posters because they aren't Bills fans does this message board a huge disservice.

If you look at a list of donors to the site, you will notice that several Dolphins fans support the Zone financially. Should we not make them feel welcome here when they are willing to spend their hard earned money to support our site?

How does this chase away Bills fans? I'm a Bills fan and I am not about to go anywhere.
If you don't post on a thread you don't like, it increases the likelihood that it will simply pass down the list and be forgotten forever.
I read a silly Jets fan post recently and I don't think there is any permanent damage.

now piss off if your not hear to talk about the bills or something that relates to the bills.. if you want to read jets crap.. go to the jets board.

if you want to talk bills, regardless of what team your a fan of, then fine.. post here.

the Mods should send all trolls directly to the NFL zone, then the BILLSfans(whoever they are) that want to talk to the trolls, know where they are.
And our main board stays clean from the lowlife trolls.
A jerk troll could donate, and then he has the right to start problems on our board.
Money talks here, or what?
Seperating the scumbags from our main board will make you moderaters jobs a lot easier. Send them to the smack or nfl zone, done!

No, Tatonka, those are not forums. Those are lists of all the message boards for all the NFL teams. No one can post in there. So...any NFL related posts will be made in the BillsZone, because that's the only forum available that is strictly football related. Deal with it.

Money doesn't talk, but it does keep the site running. And the non Bills fans who donate contribute to the forums with decent discussion about the Bills as well as other teams.

The Jets fan who posted here today was not a troll. He wanted to talk about his team and get our point of view. There is nothing wrong with that. Some of the responses he received were embarassing. Today it was the Bills fans who were acting like the trolls, and making my job a lot harder.

actaully dhenderson is a troll, he comes here and starts that crap every year at this time

he's about as sane as the infamous ice.........

anywho, if i post jets or any other NFL crap here, ill do it because this is the spot for it...... if i choose to read something its exactly that, a choice.....

plus since the bills PLAY the jets, you would think they would be open to info..... but hey, thats their choice i guess

I don't go to finheaven. That's the point. I hate Miami and I would want nothing to do with their message boards. I don't understand why a non-Bills fan would come here in the first place. Why would I go to FH and start a thread about how great the Bills are and expect to be welcome with open arms? Maybe I should go to FH and donate and talk Bills football by myself. It's ******ed.

And you don't see that all their embarrassing responses were because there was a troll on our main board? That's what we're saying is, without that troll, there wasn't a problem. If his post was not on our main board, nothing after that fact would of happened. Nipping it in the bud, will make a Mods job easier.

anywho, i cant go to any jets boards because its so over-run with homers, and trolls, that i dont want to be repeatedly called a fake fan, just because i dont agree.....

and im sure people here wont agree, but 9 times out of 10 the setiment here is that people respect opinions, unless its something completely in la la land.

as far as the bills are concerned with me, if i wasn't a jets fan, i'd most likely be a bills fan, living in syracuse and all, but i like having the light hearted ribbing, and not getting pissed over it

last i checked trolls would be someone that purposely antagonizes (whether they are pro or anti your team is not meaningful)

if i was really one to troll about, im sure i'd have been banned a long time ago, and not one of LOG's trick bans either

trust me, im not fond of FTP, Dhenderson, etc......

but NE39, papacrunk, LTstuckinthefogofiraq despite being fans of opposing teams, usually are fair and balanced, minus the spin :-)

yeah i can see peoples points saying that if say a jets fan comes on a bills board, that they are just gonna do this or that, but thats why you have the choice to ignore or reply to post, etc.

I dunno, I'm a Browns and Bills fan...hate the division rivals but when it comes down to it...I love reading other people's opinions of what's going on...not just the Bills or Browns but the entire NFL.

That's what makes this board better than the Browns site I rarely post on, people can discuss other teams in here, issues, cuts, trade rumors, random stuff like that.

I'm a fan of football...period. And if I wanted to read only what my opinion was, I'd open Microsoft Word and just start typing away on what my opinions were. Print it out and tape it to my desk so I could read it once in a while to remember what I think.

Guys, this is a message board...people are supposed to have different opinions and perspectives. Anyone that can bring in NEWS/FACTS should be more than welcome. Not just Bills fans, because with the rate of turnover being so great in this league, you never know who we'll have next year in the coaching staff or on the roster.

more proof, we're better than his Browns board, so come here.

I said, I'm a fan of both teams. Do you see me hijacking threads repeatedly with Browns related stuff? No. I've done a couple threads Browns related...Wanting Dorsey here to be the third QB and my disdain for Brady Quinn, that is all.

In the past I've commented on guys like Melvin Fowler, Andre Davis and Kelly Holcomb, because they used to be Browns players. I've seen those three bums play for years. What a shock, two of them aren't here anymore. Soon, all three will be gone. Unfortunately we have nothing better at Center right now and as the saying goes "Rome wasn't built in a day."

Is my opinion or knowledge of football less than yours because I like a different team more than the Bills? Are you better than me because you're just a bills fan? I fully admit at one time I loathed the Bills, because my family was here and all I got to hear is how great the Bills were in the early 90's...after you know the family members laughed at my expense for the Browns issue with the Broncos in the late 80s. So I started rubbing in the Superbowl collapses to them. Then a funny thing happened....The Browns left and the Bills organization did dawg pound day. A very classy move by the organization so in the Browns absence I started pulling for the Bills. I can't go back on my loyalty I've had since a kid, so the Browns will always be my number 1 team...no matter how much they suck or how inept the coaching is, which I firmly believe both of.

The only time I don't root for the Bills is when they play the Browns. I want the Bills to go 15-1 this year and the Browns 16-0. Neither will happen, but I'd love to see it. And if somehow it did, I'd root for the Browns to beat the Bills in the AFC championship game.

Like I said...this board is about the Bills and the NFL. It says so in the notice. We've all figured out who the people are that just post crap to incite other people and they do it frequently, some of them are now gone. RIP ICE. But there's fans of other teams that know their stuff...LtFin, PapaCrunk, NE39. All three have a strong knowledge of the game and add immeasurably to the board. There's just as many "trolls" who claim to be Bills fans as there are "trolls" who aren't Bills fans. if we eliminate people who aren't fans of the Bills, we'd lose a few excellent posters.

Is that the way things really should be?

thank ya!

anywho, as much as i hate the patriots and the fins, that doesn't mean the same hatred goes to the fans, just like when i go to the games at the ralph, ive never really been one who wants to start trouble, especially at the enemy's stadium

don't get me wrong, i like the jawing (people harrassing me verbally, thats fair) but when they start to attack my gf, or throw things at her, thats just being stupid, and online its the same deal.. and in all honesty as long as someone gives me some respect, the feeling is mutual, whether or not you have the same feelings on the subject

I converse FOOTBALL with FOOTBALL fans, I'm a member of a bunch of sites because of that. The best perspective can be an opposing rivals, that's why I post here from time to time to get others opinions. I initially stayed on because I wasn't going to be one of those fans that can't take the heat after a loss, and after the sweep I'm still here defending my team when need be and giving a POV in a respectful and mature manner. Obviously maturity is a struggle for some.

It's just a message board peeps, don't let it get to you this much, it's really not the end of the world. And if it is, then just use the IGNORE function or implore to LOG to create a NFL forum since it's bothering some this much.

:idunno: hello?


Again, outside of Brady Quinn and Ken Dorsey, seeing Dorsey was still a Brown at the time of my posts about him...where have I just dicussed Browns football? But I still relayed Dorsey into someone that I'd love to see her because of his mental grasp of the game. This obviously isn't a Browns forum and they're not a rival so it's not a thread that's gonna get much mileage. if I want to discuss just Browns football, I discuss it on a Browns board.

Have you seen me make a thread predicting the Browns season here? No. Have you seen me make a thread predicting Browns cuts? No. Have you seen me make a thread on how KII is the best TE in the league? No.

The only time I've ever not discussed the Bills on this board was Quinn. I hate the guy. Dorsey was related in terms of a guy I'd love to see the Bills bring in to be the third string QB. Fowler I discussed last year as being a mediocre to average player from his Browns playing days. Andre Davis I discussed as a guy with tons of talent but little heart and injury prone. Holcomb I discussed as a lockerroom cancer. Are any of those wrong? I don't believe so. The Fowler point will be debated because he's still here, but that's what I thought of him even in Cleveland. Now we have a backup tackle in Kirk Chambers who was outright garbage in a Browns uniform and he somehow beat out Pennington for a job here.

But apparently, me discussing that is wrong...in your eyes.

Buffalo Bills Zone NOTICE - READ BEFORE POSTING HERE: This is the holy grail of Bills forums. We talk about the Bills and the NFL in here. If you can not post without personal insults, getting off-topic, posting expressly to incite other posters, and repeatedly posting the same crap over and over, you may be restricted from posting in this forum without notice. We have rededicated ourselves to policing this forum with a vengeance. If you feel the need to slam others or talk smack, we have other forums available for exactly that purpose. Remember, you are not bigger than the Buffalo Bills. Let's talk football!

No, Tatonka, those are not forums. Those are lists of all the message boards for all the NFL teams. No one can post in there. So...any NFL related posts will be made in the BillsZone, because that's the only forum available that is strictly football related. Deal with it.
As i said, if a thread isn't about the Bills, don't read it. Problem solved.

i am aware that those are other web sites.. the are other web sites that discuss the crap that they want to discuss like penningtons noodle arm or brady's limp wrist.

i think you missed the point of me posting that link completely.

We don't want to stinkin' Bills fans in our forum, though.

Tatonka
09-02-2007, 06:14 PM
and let me clarify.. posters like NE39 make this place a better forum than any others around, but he comes here to give his input on the bills, and only adds info on the pats or other teams when it relates to the bills.

i dont have a problem with other team fans.. or even trolls so much as long as it is related to the bills.. if i want to know about how bad a coach cam is, i will go to fishhell.

It seems to have gone down hill for a while....in that I do see threads dedicated to other team specific issues. If it isn't a general NFL issue why is it posted here? Like most of the other Bills fans, I don't expect to go to a Bills' site and read all about the Browns or Sabres or Yankees. I expect to read about something to do with the Bills and NFL issues that concern the Bills.....like the CBA. I cannot imangine that when the name of this forum changed about 2 years ago, that the change was made to accommodate other teams fans who did not feel at home at their own team forum sites.

If BZ intended this site to be centered on the NFL, then why is it called Bills Zone. Rename it to NFL Zone...or whatever.

Topics and threads here should be concerned with the Bills.

We started to allow talk about general NFL news in this forum, mainly in the offseason and now it shows the need for another forum. I will make it so.

This whole thing started when an actual troll from another team started posting crap here. His threads were moved and he was even berated by a fellow Jests fan.

However to lump Papa, NE39, Cuse and the closet Bills fan LT and other intelligent contributing fans of other teams in the same pile of crap as him is assinine.

I will create an NFL only forum and it will be a subforum of this forum. THe link for it will be at the top of the Bills Zone.

i dont think that anyone that you mentioned is lumped in with other trolls at all.. most of us would probably take them over some other "bills" fans..

but the point is that those posters you mentioned dont come here to talk about a bunch of crap that doesnt relate to the bills.

the guys mentioned by nbf, we know are not the trouble, and if they post once in a while, that's cool, but something had to be done about the rest, we were getting over ran by trolls abusing our site, because their teams site sucks, or banned them. This will cure that, and leave more room for posters talking about the BILLS since the season is starting, and we don't have to weed out the troll junk.
