The value of the app is in the live scoring - for me. I understand that people like to talk trash, but it goes beyond that. It's just a toxic wasteland. The chat is a sad place. I'm OK with making the chat a place for paid-only subscribers, but just getting rid of it is OK too. As long as the *point* of the app - that being able to follow the scores of other games - does not become a paid feature, I don't care what you do. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason my vote would be to keep the chats free is last couple of minutes of the ballgames. I am sure it would be a logistical nightmare to have the chats open with 2:00 left in the game though? This would help the ones who cannot be at the games especially during the playoffs.

I am sure it would be a logistical nightmare to have the chats open with 2:00 left in the game though? This would help the ones who cannot be at the games especially during the playoffs. I feel like this is a vote to just keep chats; not necessarily keep them free. I agree that its nice to be able to follow a play-by-play in the chats. Many people do that for various teams. This is why I wouldnt be opposed to having to pay to chat. Not to READ the chat; just to chat. If you want to troll, you gotta pay a dollar (or whatever the fee is) every time you get booted to get back on. I dont know who monitors the posts, but if you had to pay to chat, chances are the chat would be filled with people who actually care. Even if the fee were a minimal amount. In other words, just being able to pay to chat indefinitely is not enough. You pay to chat - if you break the "rules", you are booted - and to get back on, you have to pay again to be able to chat. This would work whether you come back with the same account or create a new one. Chatting comes with a fee that is small. A dollar. $1.50. Whatever. You pay that fee and you never break the rules - then you are good. You get to chat all season for a buck, buck fifty. If you can't help but be a poison, then you get booted, and to get back on you have to pay the fee again. However, for those of us that just want to READ the chat and possibly follow along with someone who is posting a play-by-play, VIEWING the chat is free. That would be my proposal. Short of something like this, I'd rather have no chat at all than what we have had before - and since it has been made pretty clear that monitoring those huge number of chats, it feels like just getting rid of the feature is the way to go. And again - for me, the live scoring is the draw of the app; not the trash in the chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are beta testing the new app and we are hoping to have it ready by Thursday You don't allow political talk, but you guys allow a lot of BS go way too personal. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chat has gotten way out of hand and most of the time is not even worth looking at. So my vote is for paying for chats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I like the app for the scores and like dude said earlier maybe even some play by play of last few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do that we'd have to pay 2-3 people basically a full time wage for 4 months out of the year to monitor the game chats (there's 500 each week)....that money would probably come from charging a seperate fee for the app and that fee would probably not be all that cheap....so the powers that be decided to keep the app free, make it easier to report inappropriate posts and add in some A.I. to delete stuff ahead of time...not the route I would have taken but we'll see if it works 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always believe it's high school kids.. it is very annoying tho.. I would pay for a sub during season... if you to chat away u would have anyone subscribe lol.. its about bsing with each other 4 months of the year... no one really wants politics on football forum.. I would ban ppl that bring up politics.. smack talking football is what it's about tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle8 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 To me its kinda like battle Royale style chat. Go in strapped, cuz you know folks are slinging haymakers. You don't have to click on the chat if it bothers you, just keep up with the scores.....just my opinion. I enjoy the play by play that some folks give. Yeah, there are some idiots that take things way too far. Ignore that part and you take the power away from them. They only want a rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsn03 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It bugs me when I'm sure it's kids, are messing with scores of games, sure nothing that can be done about it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
