I've been on a few sites where people have really gone over the edge including giving out death threats, challenges to fights, outright racist claims, etc. This stuff is pretty tame compared to that. The problem of this site is that the very people in charge of controlling the traffic are out of control themselves some of the time and actually start shit with people or play silly games with them. I was obviously targeted by a mod or mods who didn't like WHAT I said about radical Muslims which was no more than what is on everyday in the news. Why? Then they outright lied to the guy in charge of this place.

I don't envy good people who try to referee anything like a sports site. They really cannot win when people are strongly arguing with each other. But I really haven't seen many examples of conversations here that have gotten out of control. People are sitting at home or wherever talking to each other on a web site which I pretty much liken to a sports bar. But you tell someone to **** off or that they are an idiot and you'd think that it was something horrible. No, it isn't. It is just conversation

I think personally that a lot of this should go to its logical conclusion and no one should be banned unless there are death threats, over-the-top insults such as bringing family into it, really vile insults, or outright racism and the like. And I also think that the more complicated you make any sort of banning system the more you open yourself up to people abusing it.

I have also seen people talk about having some sort of what I would call a rating system for posters as in "disliking" some one whose ideas that you don't like. That is fine with me even though that I know that a lot of people here do not like me or where I stand on issues and would likely lose a popularity contest. But it doesn't matter a bit to me if doing it makes some people here happy.

Bottom line....... I think that the mods and their boss really should lighten up and ignore what I think is merely conversation most of it silly in its nature. And mods themselves back off with the stupid games that they play amongst themselves and their ten cent power.

The winning move is not to play-

You make absolutely no sense. Before you were a mod, you went around beating the drum of free HHM, and fighting the oppression of over moderation. Then you get a little power due to begging like a dog forever to become a mod. Quite fascinating if you ask me. Why nobody here respects you. Hell at least silence has been the same in all the years I have been here matter of fact all the mods have been consistent, but you are fake. Probably the fakest poster on the Internet

I don't have the history on this site that most of you have but in the period of time I've been here, I think Urblock is pretty much the only mod that makes much sense.

Your words hurt me Mr Foot. Thank you for the fakest poster on the internet award. Internet is a big place. The award will lessen the pain of your words. Watch for falling trees and take care.

She wasn't fake. Johnny had phone sex with her. He said the connection wasn't very good doe. Her voice kept going from raspy to smooth but she ensured him that she was a living, breathing sex machine!

Nobody is trying to make the ban system more complicated, that should be pointed out. I think the reasons why and execution of how people are banned work just fine. This thread was made by a poster to complain about being banned too long. If Poster X is banned for 24 hours, the system would trigger them "unbanned" around 25-26 hours instead of 24.

As a poster, it's very easy to say "lighten up". If you saw the extent of how crazy people take things, you would understand why things are the way, they are. This is a sports website. We are here to talk about sports. Sports is our main focus yet there are posters on the site (current and banned) who just want to middle school dish on the internet and act like 14 year olds.

Well, I was banned and never notified as I told you both here and on PMs. And I will stand by my position that several of the mods on this site are the same or worse as those middle school kids that you talk about. As I have said on several occasions, the conversation that I was banned for was the same controversy raised on pretty much all of the cable shows and talk radio every day , namely the rise of radical jihad and Islamic terrorism. Hell, my family used to live maybe a half a mile from where the two terrorists killed 14 people in San Bernardino this month. In fact that night I called a former widowed neighbor of ours to see if she wanted me to drive over and take her back to where we live because the authorities weren't sure if there was a 3rd shooter involved.

What I said on this subject was nothing different from what is on the news yet because your mod(s) disagreed with it, they banned me. Nothing that I said was in any violation of the rules and guidelines that your site talks about. What is in violation, though, is the behavior of your mods having sport at my expense, especially when I asked for help. Help, for cripes sake??

It means get over yourself. You're not important. You constantly complain about the mods here, but you stay. If you really had a problem you'd leave, but you won't.

Hence, baby back *****.

Yeah, but you have forums for other subjects on this site, don't you? And discussions and arguments happen on these forums also do they not? I believe that I said that vile, threatening, racist or bigoted comments do need to be policed. It shouldn't, though, be arbitrary and vindictive, right?

Hawk it's probably time to let this one go. Go talk about football. You're good at that and usually make some good points. Have some fun today.

There is only one question left to be answered. How do you operate a keyboard and mouse when in a straight-jacket?
