Here is the thing. There are two groups on the board-ones that are in their group and ones that aren't.
For those that aren't in the group, it is nothing but one disrespectful, passive aggressive comment after another. Nothing instantly ban worthy, but pokes and prods. It's like getting poked in the back everyday by the same kid behind the teacher's back, and eventually you want to scream and turn around and punch them, even though it was only a poke.
For those in the group, it is personal because they are friends, both on the boards and outside of the boards. They get the gossip, and you have an instant backing with whatever you say on the boards. You are quick to defend them both, because they are quick to defend you too. Mainly, you agree with them. The pokes and prods are funny, because you understand they are joking and having fun.
If cheer updates is starting a board, then there will be a place for everyone. You can pick what side you want to be on, and I would assume everyone will be significantly happier without having to deal with the other. I know I will be.
