It used to be most thing Kash posted, but this post itself just jumped to the top of my list. Just because something is interesting to you, does not make it interesting to anyone else. A school's baseball team, chess team, new computer lab equipment has nothing to do with the hockey team or D-III hockey.
I come here to follow the teams, games, and D-III hockey in general. Notes about the basketball team have as much purpose here as posting the price of milk at the grocery store. It is arrogant to subject everyone following the forum to that type of spam or then justifying it just because YOU find it interesting.
And this forum is D-III men's hockey. If one cared about the women's side of things, they would go to the women's column. Keep the women's hockey topics, and score updates to that forum. Then everyone who cares about them can see them and the rest of us don't have to listen to the drivel..

Telling someone that information about how a college's baseball team is inappropriate and directing them to a baseball forum is one of those .... We all bring up items tangential to DIII hockey because we feel they are of interest. Somebody from whatever college's hockey following is probably interested in how their baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse, quidditch team doing!
"You never played the game". This one really ****es me off. I have never claimed to play the game. That doesn't make my opinion or viewpoint (which I concede is a different viewpoint from a player) less valid!
Things are slow here, so I thought I would start a thread about your least favorite responses to posts on USCHO.
Personally, mine is "how is that hockey related?" I know we can get far afield here, but if someone posts something, it must be somewhat important to them. Telling someone that information about how a college's baseball team is inappropriate and directing them to a baseball forum is one of those, "Looks who's calling the kettle black," comments.
