This is a Knicks subforum, there's an NBA subforum on this site as well. Nets talk are welcome there but not here, let's be clear about that because we've seen way too many OT / Nets talks on this part of the site.
I haven't seen the mods do much about off topic threads on the NY Knicks Forum, I just wish people here would respect that.
Nets talk are welcome there but not here
Shouldn't that be up for the moderators to decide? If you're talking about the Nets' impact on the Knicks like this thread, I think the mods have the right to say that's relevant enough to stay here. You don't?

Cuz they play in the divison.
Why talk about any other teams for that matter if its a KNicks forum only?

I mean you could say this isn't a team USA forum. So all the talk about Melo's performance in that context is irrelevant too. You guys should chill out. If any threads here have a devastating impact I'm sure the mods will move them.

Not sure but did they say to stop posting in the NBA Forum when you are talking about non knick stuff?

Not that I'm aware of but exactly what non-Knick stuff means is unclear. If you're talking about how the Nets will impact the Knicks, that's not non-Knick stuff. If you want to be very strict, very few of the threads on this forum are directly on the Knicks. It is odd that it is only the Nets threads that people are throwing hissy fits over. At the moment, these are the top threads (with ones in bold unambiguously referring directly to Knicks basketball):
London Olympic Games
Server Upgrades
Official Free Agency Thread
Tyson Chandler Take on His Olympic Teammates
2012-2013 Power Ranking from Real GM
The Rise of Jeremy Lin
Open Letter to All
For Once I Wholeheartedly Agree with Charles Barkley
Melo Exploding at Olympics
Perfect Storm to Swing Casual Fans
Is Anyone Actually Watching Carmelo Represent the United States
Say "Good Morning" to: Ray Felton, Ronnie Brewer...
Replay of Argentina vs France: Pabloco vs (pretty much) NBA level competition
Starting SG
As might as well ask the mods to wipe out 80% of the threads in this subforum.

Not necessary. If the topics are regarding current Knicks they stay. I think there is a gray rea where Lin and free agency come to play. I think other teams are a topic in game threads and for a short period of time after completing a trade with the Knicks ( I e the nuggets after the melo trade). I don't see how a site with a knick forum, other forum and an nba forum is a spot to discuss the nets. There are yankee, mets, ... Talk threads for other teams. My suggestion is that you start that thread in its appropriate place.

Nope. There is a forum decorum in place and I am just reminding you of how things are set up. Check out the other forums and I think it will give you some perspective on where your net threads should be.

Of course you can support both teams, it's your own personal choice, but this is not a Nets board and I don't think we should be supporting people to jump ship- why not post about them in the other Nba topic forum on this site?
Well said Smackeddog! You've hit the nail right smack on its head. I've been trying to say the same things for about a week now and Nalod & Bonn1997 were calling for me (an ultimate knicks fan)to leave. They've also been pushing for me to be banned because I've expressed the same concerns.

I did no such thing. I merely *predicted* that you might be banned. Frankly I think you guys are too obsessed with the Nets in general and policing content about them in particular. It seems like you're not here to talk about the Knicks, Inf, but rather just to make sure people don't talk about the Nets.

The fact that it would have to be policed to begin with says a lot. The Gallo love has faded. The Nuggets love has faded. The Lin love will go down the same road. Now this fixation with the Nets. I said it from the beginning....The Nets most relevant period of time will be summer 2012. This will be because it's all hype, all promo, all good press. No games played. Just commercials, billboards, jerseys, talking heads and concerts at Barklays. Things change once they start racking up on L's. The Brooklyn Nets are undefeated! Perfect time to talk about them as though they mean anything to the world of sports. Very easy to make something like that seem attractive. Wait until games start and people realize that this is still the Nets. The fixation during the summer of 2012 will be laughable by then.
