Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Or what?
Are you asking because you’re considering getting suspended and posting under an alias, and you’re trying to weigh the costs and benefits? Or are you asking because you’re concerned about another poster?
If you see someone posting with an alias that you somehow know is an alias, report it with EXACTLY how you know it's an alias.
I do my best to avoid posting things that would get me suspended and I don't have an alias to use. No need to worry about that.
Thanks for the clarification, but as long as not suspended the multiple aliases some use is ok?
Are you sure, it says they are a pain for moderators? Just curious, what are the instances where aliases would be needed not for the reasons mentioned that they don’t want them? I’m honestly just trying to understand it.....is it just to have multiple imaginary personalities online? Just something I’ve never understood.
It's right here in this thread today. But LOL at providing "proof". I mean come on just get rid of the rule if it's not going to be enforced.
LOL at all the posts pretending not to know the who and what. Hard to take any of the rules seriously when they dont apply to the regulars.
Do you believe the moderators know a currently suspended poster is posting under an alias and are ignoring it?
Unfamiliarity isnt a requirement for that adverb.If a person has 15 accounts and it's well known the person has 15 accounts, are they really aliases?
In the FFA sometimes people use aliases to discuss personal issues if they know other people here in the outside world. Although that reasoning seems far less applicable to this forum.GoBirds said:
Thanks, I honestly couldn't think of any scenario it made sense. That makes sense for FFA possibly like you said, probably not in here. Guess it makes it appear like there's more posters and polls more lopsided than they would be in reality if people really have that much extra time.
If you know a person is using an alias, report it. It's not complicated.Ramblin Wreck said:

Its as if there are potential lessons in that book whether or not one ultimately believes.
Same here
I miss your more frequent contributions, but nothing wrong with wanting to leave us hoping for more.
To go along with this, I've heard: "We want to be judged by our intentions, but we judge others by their actions."
When young I wanted justice for me, now, mercy. For others, well it turns out I am a hypocrite. I'm working on it.
I don’t understand this post. To the best of my knowledge, the moderators here have not banned any kind of expression of a reasonable idea. The only thing they are not allowing is bad language, insults, rude behavior, blatant racism or bigotry, obvious trolling, etc. What’s wrong with that? Do you have a specific complaint?
I have no idea what this refers to either. I’m certainly not seeing the poor behavior there was earlier.
Unfortunately, I have seen and experienced quite arbitrary moderation so why do it at all. Words are just words banning them never helped anything or it wouldn’t have been made the first amendment.
This is a privately owned website and the 1st Amendment isn’t relevant here. And of course banning certain words can help. There are certain words I don’t prefer to see here.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. Most of the internet operates as you suggest. I've no doubt it works great for most. We're going to try and do it a little differently.
I saw a thread where team blue circumvented the language filter while arguing with someone from team red who also circumvented the filter. Only team red was cited.
This is what I mean. First off I don’t admit it because it’s not true. Nobody says minority views aren’t welcome. By “called out” and “piled on” I assume you mean that a lot of people disagree with certain arguments. So what? If you’re reading such a discussion, and you agree with the minority and not the majority, why not post and explain why? Why complain about it in here?
I just got a notification that he responded to a post of mine from a month ago. Apparently I said something that pissed him off....not sure what, but something. I have no problem with him reporting me if he thinks I wronged him. To be honest, I am not all that familiar with this user handle so I really don't know what's going on.
Thanks for the response. I have found most boards and social media like Facebook also restrict speech and moderate interactions or information. So I think you are more on the mainstream side here. Like many have said it is your right to do it because it’s a privately owned business. I think Facebook is so big though they really are the town square now.
Well first off I don’t think too many people here would prefer to be thought of as “team red” or “team blue”. I know I don’t. In this year of 2019, I lean Democrat most of the time, but not all of the time. There are times when I agree with the Republican POV. There are even times when I agree with Trump. So I don’t want to go there.
Nothing you said made me mad. I just noticed the poster you were debating got cited for the same thing you did but we’re not cited for. No big deal just wanted to point out the arbitrary enforcement of rules.
I like using team red and team blue because it points to how easily the elite has divided us into these opposing viewpoints. Divide and conquer right? Meanwhile there has been little to no real difference between team red and team blue leadership. I have voted for both teams in the past and have been beyond disappointed by both.
I don’t report stuff. I reported it to you in an open forum to see if you felt like it was fair.report it
1. No idea what you mean by “the elite”. If you mean the establishment, then I certainly hope they continue to “conquer” us, since almost nothing but good things come from that.
