Very poor judgement regarding the gif- but I imagine he regrets it. Rod brings personality to the board, he can be very entertaining, and is usually mostly harmless. I say bring him back. The board is more interesting with him here.
Bring back Rod thread.....
- Thread starter Gamecockben1979
- Start date
Can’t he disguise his IP address and sign back up under another name. Rod 2.0 maybe
It amazes me how dumb people are when it comes to Freedom of Speech (yes I have the freedom to say that). Freedom of speech is NOT freedom from consequence. You can’t call your boss an a$$hole and say you can’t be fired because of the 1st amendment. To my knowledge Rod is not locked up or facing any charges. His Freedom of Speech is still protected.
Has anyone here (or anywhere on the planet) not done/said something they wished they could "do over"?

Every person on this forum has said something or done something despicable at some point in their life. I find Rod to be hilarious most of the time, and he is a loyal Gamecock and devoted hater of all things orange. Free Rod!
Have had him on ignore for years and I suggest some of you do the same. It makes this board much more pleasant.
Rod email someone your comments and let them post for u. We miss u. Minus that gif of course
Hell. John Ribock hit the Maryland coach and we carried him around on our shoulders.
All we are saying ,,,,,is give Rod a chance.
Rod is a character, for sure. He either cares a lot about the Gamecocks or is one of the best trolls of all time on message boards (I'm about 50/50 on this issue). Sometimes you cross a line and you pay the consequences. Natural consequences on a message board = you get banned for a certain amount of time.
Will it lead to changes in Rod's often borderline posts? Time will tell whether he's a recidivist or not. I'm going with recidivist.

Beg to differ. Most of his crap was like a third grader on the play ground. Call posters idiots consistently. 24/7 tool with his nonsense.
Plenty of others on here in the 3rd-grader (or below!) category. Calling us idiots is just part of Rod's charm!

There is no way a non-gamecock fan knows as much about our uniform combinations as Rod. Clearly he is not a tater or troll. When he first joined, he was a little obnoxious, but he has toned it down a lot since his early days. Haven't we all done something that upon reflection "seemed like a good idea at the time...." #FreeRod
I think Rod should be able to come back. Like I said. 2 weeks to think about that stupidity is well enough. Maybe he doesn't want to come back though. I don't mind him, you just have to learn where he's coming from.
I lurked for years and a funny post from Rod brought me out. #freerod
To be honest, the question posed was to post a gif that reminds you of this season. Who are we to say or even judge if that gif doesn’t remind Rod of this season. Would you guys have the same reaction if Rod posted a gif of the Titanic hitting an iceberg, or the Hindenburg going down in flames, or a mushroom cloud rising above Nagasaki?

Come on now dude, lighten up! The guy aint that bad now!!
Relax, I'm sure he'll be back after a timeout.
If the mods really want to punish him they should make him do an essay on "Why I Love the Script Carolina Helmet"

Hmmm.... you can grab some P&@$y and become President of the USA but post a bad GiF and it’s off to the Pit of Misery on a meaningless College message board . Just kiddin’ . Just trying to get you old codgers fired up !! Dilly dilly .
I want to bring I HATE FAT BRAD. He was hilarious.
Just make him change his profile pic to a script Carolina helmet pic for the rest of football season.
If he is locked out, I hope they throw away the key.
Unfortunately, I have given him some likes over the years.

I thought the OP was just trying get to people to lighten up and share funny GIFs about how the season was progressing. And it was a great thread until he made that post - which probably would have been ok in the right context on a memorial thread on the 9/11 anniversary, but with respect to the OP's intent it instead became one of most inappropriate and offensive posts I've ever seen on this or any other board.
Wanton murderers don't even get the death penalty anymore and some even walk free again after a time. Bring Rod back but keep him on parole.
If you have him on ignore, I don't see your problem.
Well, I just don't want him back period to contaminate the board with his fury, indignation, lividity and acrimoniousness, antagonism and hatred that he spews about our program.
Rod is one of those people that could win the million dollar lottery and then complain because he had to pick it up at the State Building. ROD IS A CANCER ON THIS BOARD!
It's not that his belligerence doesn't bother me because I have him on "ignore" but I don't want his vile pugnaciousness affecting other posters and visitors from other programs thinking he represents the Gamecock nation. Rod is bad for this board and all that visit.
The board has owners who call the shots. I don't think they need any help with that function and they have the right to run it as they deem wise. Otherwise, every user has the prerogative to ignore him or not. If they are continuously offended by him, therefore, it is their own fault.
We all have push the envelope at times on here but Rod was the epitome of obnoxious and insulting. If I or anyone else used the Towers as an visual aid to depict how they feel about a game it should be instant banishment.
