Message Board Setup Clarification

  • I want to provide some clarification on the message board setup.

    First, this is a premium message board. ONLY AuburnUndercover.com members can post in the Bodda Getta Tiger Sports Board. If you don't have premium membership to AuburnUndercover.com, you can't post. This means fans from Alabama, Georgia, whoever… can't post and clutter the board with smack talk and other insignificant posts.

    The only change in this board from our previous setup is that we are giving you, the person that created the post/message, the ability to determine if your posts should be read by everyone or just members of the Bodda Getta Tiger Sports Board. Unlike some other networks, we believe this should be YOUR DECISION and not controlled by someone in a cubicle. If you've got something for just the Auburn faithful, simply check the box so it can only be viewed by members of this board. However, for general conservations you may want your post/message to be read by all so you can share it with other Auburn fans that check out the boards or share it with your friends, family and followers on Facebook or Twitter -- but that is 100-percent your call, as it should be. As admins, we will pick and choose what we release for pay and premium based on sensitivity and our specific editorial schedule. We also have the ability to lock a thread down so it can only be read by members of this site.

    We think this is the best of all worlds and we look forward to building a vibrant message board community.

  • sounds good! Only comment would be maybe switching the default to checked instead of unchecked.

  • So, just to be clear, and make sure I understand....people that used to post on the Dye Hard (free) board, cannot post here now unless they sign up and pay the $10 a month?

    Essentially, this is the Botta Getta board from before, and the Dye Hard board is dead?

    Maybe I'm not understanding the lexicon here, but isn't being a member of Auburnundercover.com different than being a premium member? Does this statement mean that free members can't post, even if they are a member of the AU site?

    Correct. But, I am going to add the Dye Hard Board back in as soon as a bug is fixed and I can get that done.

    Thanks for the clarification Ron. That's a much better setup for a premium board. I appreciate your hard work getting this thing setup.

    Okay, I guess that addresses what we all were confused/concerned about to start with. It didn't seem to make sense that there was one free/premium board where everyone was thrown in together.

    So in the future, there will again be a premium Botta Getta message board (which is where we are posting now), and there will also be a free Dye Hard message board.

    Does that sound correct?

  • I guess I'm a bit confused again.

    I see a thread started by poTaterHater, who is from the South Carolina board. Nothing against him personally, he made a very cordial post...nothing to complain about. But the fact that he just posted here although he's a member of the SC board is why I'm confused again.

    I assume he isn't paying $10 a month for a membership to AuburnUndercover. So I'm confused as to how he can post here....on the Botta Getta board, which is supposed to be the premium AUC board?

    He probably made that post prior to them flipping the switch that made the forum private.

    We flipped the switch today. We had a two day transitional period where the board was open.

  • They way they set this up I don't think the board is affected by facebook. I think it is just a personal share option for our facebook pages. To me this site is simple and clean.

  • Ron....another clarification please. In your original post in this thread you talked about controlling who reads a post. If the Bodda Getta forum is already controlled for premium members only, why would I need to control one of my posts. If I did I assume no one in Boddas Getta could read it which doesn't make sense.

    Exactly. It just allows us to share on FB and Twitter...

    Ok, if you have a premium account you can post. If you do not have a premium account, you cannot.

    If you are a registered user, you can read - unless the post is marked "Show post to AuburnUndercover fans only"

    Anyone can read - unless the post is marked "Show post to AuburnUndercover fans only," which means premium...

    Ron... I sure wish you would make the default the other way... that we would need to check the box if we want it to be read by the world.

    I do not want to inadvertently send what I say to the world of Facebook or Twitter or anywhere else, because i forget to check the box.

    Someone else has asked for this also. What about for the rest of you War Eagles? Speak up.

    That would be good if it isn't too much trouble.
