I feel like someone needs to say something.

In the comment sections, people are being bashed, belittled, and made out to be idiots.

Why? Because that unique person came up with a new idea. Maybe they don’t know that much about the team, but they made an ACGM about a new idea. Then because of that idea, they are made to be idiots in front of the whole CapFriendly community. While sometimes the posts are preposterous, you don’t need to belittle a person for trying a new idea.
Instead, just kindly tell them what’s wrong with it, and if you’re a fan of that team, tell them a “counteroffer” of some sort. From experience, when someone does that, it’s a lot more constructive and helps me personally learn about player values/ other teams needs. It’s a lot better than responses like: “lol” “what a piece of Garbage” “you know nothing” etc.

That’s my piece.

Thank you for reading.

Well said, but I have one question.

Why are all Habs fans RD? laugh

I'm kidding. My real question is should we tag Banks to see his thoughts on this?

100% agree with what you're saying.

I just wish there wasn't a large amount of trolls on here. We see a lot of people making troll teams to try and stir the pot / start arguments. We also see a lot of trolls going around to posts leaving just idiotic comments trying to start arguments.

I think the mods/admins on here need to start being more proactive in removing these troll users and their posts, because I see a lot of them

Like there's a difference between new ideas and just complete troll posts, as well as they just go around running their mouths. It's sad but I guess that's just how it is.

Agreed. Constructive feedback helps us all get better at this and helps build a positive community. Challenging each others ideas is fine and a great way to learn more about how other fans think when it comes to hockey -- but it should always remain civil. We are all different ages and have varying experience with hockey and the NHL. At the end of the day, we're all here to just have fun and talk with other hockey fans.

There are certain posters that only come on here to dump on everyone's ACGM. This is just for fun, you can criticize an ACGM you don't agree with, but do it politely. Realistically though, none of us have any idea of what player values are.

I remember the old days where you could give each ACGM a rating out of 5 and people would give just about every post a 1 star out of 5.

Agree with everything.
Block the trolls and be respectful of everyones opinions.
It's fun to have constructive conversations with other fans about your favourite sport.
A few trolls try to ruin everything.

I assume this is because some people laugh at a kid who trades a certain RW on the leafs who makes around a million more then he should for absolutely nothing. Dont be that guy and you will have no problems on this site.

This will always be a thing with anonymous posting though. People feel significantly more powerful sitting behind their computer/phone screen talking under their aliases to people they're likely never to meet. If someone really pisses you off on here you can always just add them to your block list. Even when you make a post and someone makes a comment like "lol" you will generally have 3+ other comments explaining why. Ive made short comments withittle to no explanation before and its often because im multitasking. If someone asks for my reason after Ill take some time to explain it later.

ive rarely had this issue, people dont know if they are on someone's ignore list and they're are thousands of users on this site. So I dont really see why someone would go out of their way to make more accounts to bother 1 person.

Trust me, I've seen it before and have had it done to me. Just because it's not happening to you. Doesn't mean it's not happening to others.

I guess it comes down to me just not having a long ignore list. People rarely get under my skin so i rarely have a reason to block them.

I know there are people with troll accounts, my general rule of thumb dont take any post serious if the users name has "Eklund" or "Duh" in it.
