hahahaha......i trust no one

I too see this as a forum where there's a higher level of maturity and trust - that's why it was created. It's not exactly a 'public' forum.
It's restricted membership for a reason, and if some on here feel that it's all fair game then perhaps they should just stick to the public access forums.

So you know what the 'leak' was? You imply it was sports related here...

I can see legit arguments made on both sides,but there's no use in this forum if it is not going to be used as was intended.

No, I am not saying that. I was merely stating a fact that Cane basically stated in the original post. If you are friends or you know them. watch what you say around them.

People can talk about whatever they want. But the understanding of a lot of the stuff that's supposed to be spoken about on this particular board is that it stays on here because other people handle it in an immature fashion, or it's sensitive information that may cause someone outside of this board to react in a volatile fashion.

I'm not trying to censor people, I'm appealing to the integrity that people with access to this part of the forum should have--and I know even you have some about you just from hanging with you what little time I've gotten to.

You know me man...I love nothing more than an open forum w/little to no rules--thusly why I'm a card-carrying member of the bottom 3%--CanesOverHere. However...on this board, this particular part of the forum, there is limited access to certain people. Stuff on here isn't meant to go into newspapers or on the local news, even if it does end up there eventually.

Basically, if someone on here gives you information from an inside source, don't share it with someone that could make it public and blow this source's cover. Kinda like a recruiting website. If I know there's a poster on a site that works in the athletic department of a university and has inside info on a particular recruit coming or not coming to the school I root for...then I read it, keep the info for my value only, and don't run my mouth about it to media or another outlet.

If you run your mouth, then you do two things:

1) you jeopardize the future of your source, professionally or otherwise.

2) you lose what inside connection you had to a particular subject of interest.

It's a lose/lose situation. Once again--I'm not downing free speech, I'm trying to get integrity back in the fold where it's been let down.

I hear ya man. This place (Old Timers Forum) is better. Unfortunately we are going to have some people that cant keep their mouths shut.

Yeah really. I didn't lose my job because of it but I DID lose sports assignments after that simply because of ALL the people that were told it was me making those comments that pissed off coaches. I get paid by the hour, so I lost income.

They couldn't send me out on a field with a coach/staff going 'there's the one that ran her mouth.' And considering I was the only female photographer at the time it was kind of hard to just blend in, do my job, and not be noticed. It's hard to undo incorrect gossip - spreads like wildfire and no one wants to believe the truth.

Just for the record, for anyone trying to get people in trouble, I am not, once and for all, "IBAWILDCAT."

[centennialdawg]

Damn, been a long time since I saw that name..IBAWILDCAT.

I didn't mean for my post to sound like I knew what was happening, just that I know how people posting the wrong thing on here can affect things.
