FFA Moderation Thoughts - What Do You Think? (1 Viewer)

[Ramblin Wreck]

Unless he stalks you to another board and then tries to bring in some stuff out of context you're not looking like you are winning this point.

Seriously that is get a life territory. And before you cite my number of posts know it's way low. If it weren't for thread pruning it would probably be over 100k. I still don't go looking for people on other forums because I have an I-ax to grind. And the name was applied to him so he turned it back on the other poster. Seems like an attack would be more what you should be looking for not defense, I mean if you are going to go to all that trouble. Which seems a little weird honestly. Even creepy.

And of course the posting mores of some sites are different than this ones. There are sites where you can curse and it isn't censored. Or where you can say anything you want no problem. So things are going to be done differently there. What's done here is what matters here.

The moderation here has always been uneven. Weird reasons and sometimes seeming no reason. But it isn't an easy thing to do and sometimes people just piss you off and you really don't have to take their crap as it's your site. And yes even people from the left have been banned. I have seen a lot of people banned or run off from every side you want to think of. Longevity lends perspective.

The whole martyr thing is also not a good look.

That's a lot of words that say nothing. You're basically saying anyone that reads a second ff forum is stalking.  And posting a link to another forum is worse than the word he used. And justifying using the word because someone else used it.  That says more about you than me but carry on if you choose. 

 

[GoBirds]

Ok.  Sorry.  Somehow when I clicked on notifications it took me to your post instead of the one above.  I thought it was directed at me.  The bad part of using an older iPhone is the limited screen size.  

Size matters dude. 

 

[The Commish]

If we could all get behind this, it would be great.  However, right or wrong, I suspect the source is going to have some credibility issues.

I can honestly say I don't hate anyone in here.  We disagree.  We even brawl at times.  But at the end of the day it's just ####### politics. 

That's wonderful to say I guess.  Doesn't mean much when you are constantly calling people names and belittling them personally.  Not saying it's just you.  It's not.  But you ARE the one saying we need to be doing something, you yourself aren't doing.

My refresh rate is not what it use to be either.

Over under on people that believe this for a second?  I'll set it at 5... and I wouldn't be surprised if 3 of those were your aliai.

@captain_amazing can do it but he won't tell anyone how

I don't want to be @captain_ordinary, guy.

This thread has potential!!

It is like the Housewives of Orange County reunion show with all the sniping. Need Andy Cohen to moderate.

This thread has potential!!

definitely an underground hit

Why do I suspect this is yet another Mr. Fantasy/Beaver alias? 

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I think the answer to the O.P.'s question is that I would like free reign, and free reign for my friends and those who agree with me, while seeing random, unreasonable, unpredictable, and frustrating moderation punatively applied to those with whom I do not agree.  Can we make this happen or not?

Maybe I shouldn't wade into this, but I didn't see anything that warranted even a temp Mr Fantasy ban.  Jerkish political potshots aren't vacation worthy in my opinion.

The irony being that you got an alias nuked earlier in this very thread

I think it has to do with the Mods discovering he was an alias of somebody already banned.

I swear to God if you people get this place shut down before Genrepalooza finishes, I'll come out to where you all live and have sex with all of your wives.

So they will be banning Orton To Olsen then, who is clearly another Tanner alias (aka Reg Llama of Brixton)?

Account created in 2003. One post in 2004 and none thereafter until the other six today.

Somehow I doubt someone posted once in 2004, has been lurking for 13 years since then and now suddenly decided to become active on this forum.

What is wrong with lurking? Some people are shy.

Remember way back when in the golden days of the rumor of the ffa being shut down?

 

[sho nuff]

Has my stalker admonished all those who have used the lib#### name?

Im doubting it...seems the guy who loves to point out hypocrisy...only cares about one kind of hypocrisy (what a shocker I know).

Now at least own what you said . I think of it as locker room talk , others don't subscribe to that

You have 87K posts combined on the two biggest FF message boards.  No one is stalking you it's kind of hard to avoid you as much as you post.  

Yes I have to be honest so shove your hypocrisy Mr Mom.  Funny thing is 90% of the time I see that reference comes from a lib.

Have you owned your comments from yesterday or are you still justifying them because someone else said it first?  If you have no problem with the word you used then you certainly shouldn't have a problem with anything Mr Fantasy said.  Right?  Wouldn't want to be a hypocrite yourself after your latest rant.

 

[sho nuff]

I own what I said...if it offended someone there, I apologize.  Knowing where and the context in which it was said, Im quite sure it didn't offend.

Im sure plenty don't subscribe to it...seems hypocritical to bring that up here to defend his little buddy...and quite irrelevant to the conversation.  Also hypocritical that Ive not seen anyone of you now complaining about this say anything about posters using that after "lib".  

I do enjoy that message board posters are held to higher standards to the guy in the oval office who so many supposedly don't support anyway.

Wait, there's context that makes calling someone that acceptable?  What about a racial slur?  Homophobic term?  What context is acceptable?

I'm not defending anyone here because of your word choice.  I'm saying you're the last person that should be judging someone's character or forum behavior based on your own.

 

[Rubiobot]

If so...have the mods not made it clear by now that he isn't wanted?

He keeps getting banned for the exact same behavior.  Trolling and typically following time and squis around.

Beaver Cleaver is the worst troll this board has ever had. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

I missed this post. I notice it was liked by Mr. Fantasy, whom I suspect is an alias of the guy who was suspended for insulting my wife.

Anybody who thinks I should be banned: what is your reasoning?

You keep the Trump thread on the front page. /discussion

Sounds like a comedy act.

Mods - review the last few pages and let me know if you consider this reasonable discourse.  If not, let's do a matrix mapping of the problematic posts and the people who make large contributions to political threads.  I'm suspecting a strong correlation.

[Slapdash]

You're one to talk.  You should be ashamed of yourself for words you choose to call other posters on another forum.  There's nothing liberal or accepting of others with differences about you choosing to use the words you use.  

This is worse than any word Beaver has ever said about anyone here and it's not close.  

http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=465514&page=9#entry5932404

Some of the posters who are constantly having issues with the mods would probably have a better time on that board, just given the level of dialogue

Good work, Cliff. Why don't you go back to the Rousey thread and make fun of everybody now.  

That was awesome.

I finally took a look at the supposedly offending link to see what all the excitement was about and it was not what I expected, to say the least.

Taken in context that you were responding to the GIF (by Beaver?) I didn't find it offensive. If someone wants to argue it is never appropriate to use that word, even in kind in response to someone who first used it as a slur against you, OK, but it seems a tad hypocritical particularly coming from those who never complain here about the use of lib****.

I certainly agree with Slapdash that the posters who are constantly having issues with the mods would probably have a better time on that board, just given the level of dialogue.

I actually frequented that board until about 2004 but had to leave after (what was then) the constant over-the-top Muslim bashing and homophobic slurs that went way beyond what we have ever seen or would be allowed on this forum.

Looking at what is currently allowed there, the usual suspects should feel right at home and would have little to complain about the mods and anti-Trump or anti-right wing bias as they do here. Of course, we probably won't see them leave because most of their favorite chew toys are here.

Wrong again as usual.  Same question to you.  What context is the R word appropriate?  Or racial slur or homophobic term?
