Rules of the Paddock

[-LEK-]

So with the calling of the mods lately, it seems appropriate to have a discussion about what the paddock is.

1. Its funny to see someone cry. Everyone here will insult you. You know why? We dont like you.

2. The paddock is not a place where you call the mods. The paddock requires thick skin. Its not a nice place, we are not your friends. Find a regular thread to do this. GYERO, MMA, Wrestling, D-League are all threads that have been going on for years.

3. No one will tell you what GYERO means.

4. When asking for advice or making a thread, fully expect either no response, or to be made fun of by at least 10-30 posters. This isnt attention whore land.

5. The paddock you are given a lot of freedom. Dont be a complete dumbass or do, that is hilarious. Thats it.

I am pretty sure there are other ways to navigate, but whatever, it boils down to dont contact mods, you are a big boy/girl. Over here even the mods will make fun of you. It has taken posters years to navigate around here. This isnt sunshine pumper land were we are all wildcat friends. Go back to rafters for that. There is paddock lingo. You will figure it out.

Pretty much.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Rack'em.

Best forum on the interwebs, for most of those reasons.

 

[LordEgg]

i like it when folks solicit money, prayers, etc. those are always quality threads.

 

[We-Todd-Did]

You forgot to add climate change in number 2.

 

[Pope John Wall II]

MOOOOOOODDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[MaxPowerrr]

We were promised drinks all around.

 

[ThroughBlue]

So is it safe to assume bbg1990 called the mods

 

[Irish Beck]

It's like a white wash 4chan for UK basketball fans. I'm so pro-paddock it hurts.

re-read this one "This isnt attention whore land " and apply to this post.^^^^^^

May want to add if you create a thread on the raftards and it gets pulled over here prepare for it to be nuked like its a port city in Japan. Take it like a man.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Over the years, The Paddock has become a self-governing place for the most part (except for the Political psychos). That's pretty remarkable for a forum with this amount of traffic.

[Ron Mehico]

^^^^^^^^Also anyone with way too many likes can easily be found out to be a rafters regular.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Marshall Moses, Lol.

What an era that was.

 

[catsfanbgky]

Pretty much. Took me longer than anyone to grow thick skin, figure out the in's / out's, do's / dont's, and still sometimes eff it up. It is kill or be killed, and it is not for the soft hearted, atta boy crowd. For sure not a "everyone gets a ribbon for playing league."

Spears is a well-known "like" whore.

i liked blaring music that everyone else hated.

 

[jcrow10]

You forgot a rule:

6. RUPPSREVENGE1 has a tramp stamp, anytime he posts you must remind him of it or allude to it in your reply.

 

[ukwizard]

still sometimes eff it up.

Only sometimes?

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Also, if you have a cousin who banged a horse, best not to bring it up on here. It ends poorly.

 

[catsfanbgky]

And always pay your gambling debts. Nobody likes a Welcher. If you feel strong enough about a take to put money on it, lose, you pay.

 

[ThroughBlue]

You are the worst then. The music was easily the most annoying thing ever.

 

[Tskware]

You forgot to add climate change in number 2.

I like charts, and links to vast internet sites devoted to one side or the other. I nearly always stop what I am doing at the office and spend several hours reading and studying intensely.

I tore that mother up. Hooked up with at least five babes from MySpace, my first foray into the fabulous world of social media/online dating. You'll never hear me badmouth that wonderful site.

Or if you have a hot country music star wannabe girlfriend who just dumped you.

when I first started posting on CatsPause I didn't even know what the Paddock was. I had the GYERO bastards calling me out on the Paddock for posting on Patrick Patterson's MySpace (when it was a violation to talk to recruits LIKE SRSLY OMG!!!!) and doing weird ass MySpace interviews with the likes of Perry Stevenson and Marshall Moses. Once I found the Paddock I took a beating. I hated em all. I secretly wanted em all to die.

Over the course of a decade I realized it was I that was the problem for being a naive dipshit teenadult. Not them.

That's the recommended training/getting used to the style period for the Paddock. A decade (or more). Learn it.

It's remarkable the number of former enemies GYERO now counts as regulars. We'll grow on you like a fungus.

 

[Mashburned]

This place *sucks* now. First, they took our smileys. Then, Jerry came through like a teacher hen and shut down "fun time".

 

[LordEgg]

yes.

 

[catlanta33]

The Paddock has had its ups and downs. The telling on posters was getting out-of-control because so many thin-skinned pussies insisted on staying rather than going back to Rafters where they flourish.

This place is at its best when the reigns are loosened and those pussies get run off.

When you think of what the Paddock isn't, think OSUJim.

 

[catlanta33]

No. Go to hell.

You're just jealous of his All-World softball skills, bra.

 

[-LEK-]

Also, the paddock doesnt forget.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

YOU WANTED THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST...CATS!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL. Yep, that was the main reason Spear got ragdolled for a solid decade.

 

[LordEgg]

is this thread just an instructional device for new comers or is it in response to a recent event?

 

[ThroughBlue]

@BigBlueGuru1990 called the mods

 

[LordEgg]

for what, if i may be so bold as to inquire...

 

[It'saDoneDeal]

One unwritten rule is to completely exaggerate how upset you are when Kentucky loses to be the ultimate super fan. One guy breaks the TV remote? Screw that, I just broke a beer bottle over my wife's head and then threw my son through a window cuz I bleedz blues!!! I've legitimately seen a post where someone has claimed that they literally cried when Calbert Cheaney was named NPOTY over Jamal Mashburn. Literal tears. And not a soul called it out as ridiculous or b.s.

TBH I always feel embarrassed for the super fan posts. Most are cringe-worthy.

The story lies here =)
