A note to Moderators
 

I've noticed that any references to the draft, such as mocks, etc, are being relocated to the draft board. Ordinarily there wouldn't be a problem with this. I understand that you're just doing your jobs, however, could you please consider that as we are quickly approaching the draft, this is the time of year that it should be proper to talk about the draft as well as free agency on the main board. By moving draft talk out it leaves little subject matter to discuss on the main board.

Please leave the mock drafts and draft discussions alone on this board!!!!!

Thank You.

I second this request.....the number one spot I go to for any breaking news or updates is right here.

Often, I have about 60 seconds to get quick updates..


Please - as we approach draft day - leave them here, just as we have in past years.

My preference, not that I was asked, is to move them. It encourages more threads over there and prevents the same stuff on both boards and it's a pain to have to reply to both.

Re: A note to Moderators
 

I kinda agree with you, Scott37. Personally, I have only been moving draft threads that talk about the draft needs, etc. of other teams. If it is a Pats draft thread, I leave it alone. Especially, at this time of year, I think it is pretty darn relevant to the football forum. Between May and February, however, I would move it to the draft forum.

Different Mods have different outlooks on things. Maybe some of the other Mods can weigh in on this.

Why even HAVE a draft Forum if draft topics aren't posted there???

smells like the doing of pats1.......give the man enough rope he's liable to hang himself

I have been pondering this. Ponderng is really hard on the head.

However, I look at it this way. If it's Patriots specific such as,"I think Patrick Willis is awesome and the Patriots should draft him" then it should stay on the main board.

If it's mock drafts or just throwing names for no specific Patriots reason, then it should be on the draft forum. BTW, the draft forum has some great threads and good info being posted and it's worth checking in until the first of May.

As ususal things don't fit a nice neat package so the judgement of the mods have to be used. there have been more threads moves lately, draft or no draft, and my opinion is that some should have stayed open.

I've tried to keep a light hand on moving things too. For instance, a thread like "perspective......the 2000 draft" seems to me like a perfect general-interest topic. I'd only move hard-core draftnik material.

But what about when there's already an active 3-page thread on the draft board on the exact same topic? Just post a link in the new thread to alert people?

How hard is it to click the Patriots Draft Forum link?

Re: A note to Moderators
 

The draft forum is a safe place for draftniks to seriously geek out. :)

(so speaks the gal who recently posted a proposed formula for recalibrating the pick value chart. :eat1: )
