New Moderator for the Bears forum.

[and 69 others]

A dead person could mod the Fire forum and do a good job.

That’s the joke

 

[Bearly]

Serious question...

Who thinks I'm doing a shit job? Probably almost everyone.

Mod too much? Nazi. Don't mod enough? Reports in the inbox and PMs pile up, often times from adults who should have way more important things to do with their time than writing me long ass novels about their grievances with other posters.

Happy to step down and let someone else take my spot.

I think you guys are doing great overall. I'd slightly prefer a kinder board where I'd also have to better conform but hey, it's working.

No one knows me. I barely ever post. I'm a huge lurker. But I do enjoy coming on here at night and reading posts to learn about stuff that's happening because I don't have time to always stay up on the news about the Bears. I also like reading about how people feel about other teams that we are going to play and how the matchup will go. It's also great to go through the game thread after the game on Sunday's and see how people reacted at certain points during the game, or how they felt about certain calls, etc. to see if they matched up with my feelings/opinions while I watched the game. In other words, I come here to enjoy reading football talk.

However, it does get real stupid going through threads and having 10 pages of back and forth name calling and shit talking between posters that has nothing to do about the Bears, the thread or football in general. Grow the **** up. If this is how some of you act in the real world, it astonishes me that you have gotten this far in life. There will always be disagreements and at times some things can get heated. That's fine. We are all human. But for ****'s sake, does it have to be a daily thing, in every damn thread between the same people over and over?

My advice, make a new forum where people can go talk shit to each other all day every day if they want. Hell, maybe there is one already. I don't know. I only come to the bears forum. People come here to talk about football. Not to hear a bunch of grown men acting like they are adolescent internet tough guys.

George Carlin did a whole skit on war. All it's about is whose dick is bigger than the other guy. And what happens? It's a bunch of innocents that don't give a **** that are the ones that die to prove which leader has the bigger dick. You want to have a whole whose dick is bigger war? Fine. Go do it elsewhere and leave all the innocents who don't give a **** out of it. Most of us are here to talk about football. We don't give a flying **** about your macho internet tough guy personas.

Looks like we got the perfect mod candidate right here, Bear Nation.

Lurking is like 98.9% of being a moderator.

That is some first rate lurking!

Appreciate the support, pimp.

I mean I am not going to argue against this, but you've also described most of the internet. We try to reign in it quickly & quietly if it is derailing quality threads, but there is never a perfect science to it.

My advice, make a new forum where people can go talk shit to each other all day every day if they want.

There are, but most posters don't realize there is more to CCS than the Bears forum.

Hell, maybe there is one already. I don't know. I only come to the bears forum. People come here to talk about football. Not to hear a bunch of grown men acting like they are adolescent internet tough guys.

Case in point.

As someone that reads too many threads in this forum, I still think this forum is 90% football & 10% nonsense...which in the age of social media is a pretty solid ratio, but maybe my standards aren't high enough and you all should use this thread to vote me off of Mod Island.

But the staff does make a better effort swooping in on that 10% than most will ever credit us for.

For example.....

One week ban for being dumb enough to post political stuff in the sports forums in a thread about moderators.

If you guys vote for me as moderator, I promise to use all my salary towards weed to smoke in order to win us games in 2023.

Honestly, you should be mod, or @VickAshley✅️verified. You're stoned all the time so you are laid back and won't make any knee jerk reactions, and will be deliberate in your decisions (maybe to a fault but that's okay) Vick has disclosed he's on the spectrum, so right there you have a guy who won't have emotions informing his decisions, and there's a certain objectivity IMO that autism gives those folks.

@Penny Traitor do you you think you could get along with either of these ^ guys in the mod boardroom?

I dunno man.

Total conflict of interest as @jive would get me far too high to understand a gosh darn thing that Vick kid is trying to post.

You are the perfect CCS moderator. You take out the trash as required. That’s all a moderator should do.

**** that

don't let this trolling **** turn this shit around. he is the problem, not the rest of the board

Thank you for your opinion. However, I don't really care what some random person, that I don't know, on the internet thinks of me. Have a great day.

I appreciate your timely response letting me know that you don’t care about my opinion.

I nominate aussiebear.
Free the porn!!

 

[joec231]

Self admitted lurker, the regular season news thread is a good centralized spot for me to catch up on things I might've otherwise missed. That being said, this thread, JFC.

@nvanprooyen I appreciate the way you mod. Hands off enough to let certain posters really show their ridiculously sad true colors, and making sure to enforce/ban the real problems like Spartan.

F it, give OP what he wants, I nominate DB70, let's watch the world burn.

 

[mecha]

if it's limited intervention you seek, make me a mod. I won't ban anybody or lock threads because someone got too aggressive calling someone else a doodie head. I'll just let you fight each other to the death. there's 2 functions to this approach: 1) population control and 2) (this one's important) it'll eliminate fucktards naturally.

oh also, I'm more deserving of the hall of fame than anyone here. because I hate every single one of you anyway.

Tales of a Mod:

When I first became a mod, it was fun. I saw reported post's and realized half of them were about me. A lot of angry fellas over on the Cubs board.

Then, the dark side came. Report after report. Meltdown after meltdown.

Urblock had like 3 strokes in a night

Some *** English man or something had porn fetishes that he didnt want to talk about.

BiggieSmalls said everybody racist and demanded his account be deleted.

The Kotex mafia was alive and thriving. Alts after alts after alts.

@Rush promising us big google bucks and stock options only to receive nothing.

@FirstTimer losing his shit like he was HMIC

Then a renaissance occurred, we unbanned everyone.

The old timers mods grew old and tired. We retired our ban fingers

A new modship arose. @Scoot26 became head Nazi and he took no prisoners.

I now spend my days protecting the greatest creation in CSS history. @Omeletpants

TLDR:

Yall are whiny little **** balls

Wait you mean to tell me there is grown ass men crying to you about other posters? People need to understand it’s the internet. It’s not that serious. I’m sorry you have to deal with those Karens
