Honestly? Clearly not.

The general discussion boards seem really charged right now. It's hard to see how they'd find someone (or who for that matter) that could look at all this and tread the line between keeping things organized and under control without just stomping on people.

No offense to any of our previous mods by any means - this just doesn't seem like a good time or situation to have someone cutting their teeth and trying to learn when to step in and when to let it go.

Between spammers, trolls, and mindless pic-posting, I think I disagree. Having someone to deal with idiots like those would be nice. :)

'Course, it'd have to be someone level-headed with a stable personality, traits in rare supply. :(

I was once like you. Seeking calm and level headedness. I even pleaded for it.

Now, however...

I should be a mod because I hate everyone equally and because I have a strong distaste for heavy-handed censorship.

On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't be because sometimes I enjoy ****ing with people using mod tools for kicks.

The only thing that I like in the OOTP forums over the Mogul forums are the non juvenile behavior. I like the people here better, actually a lot better. But if some of this juvenile behavior could be booted, I would enjoy, and likely respect, this forum much better.

I also understand Dee and Clay's reluctance to allow mods. Can't you just give mods limited power? Surely there is a line that one or two people could follow that would ensure less trolling, and more seriousness here.

I still considered this forum kind of like going to a bar drinking with the guys. Some guys are just idiots, and you don't bother with them, some you can have long, heartfelt conversations with, and some you just talk simple stuff with. The bartender doesn't have to throw people out, just monitor how much some people are drinking, and cut them off when they go too far and throw a punch or vomit their drink. In this anaology, Dee and Clay are the bar owners, who stop by every once in awhile.

I would vote Bingle, Kodiak and HGM for mods

Great analogy here, but like in bars, when it becomes too crazy, there comes a time where you need to hire a bouncer or 86 people from the bar because they cant handle their drink. ;)

PLEASE!

i get on here after a 16 hour break, and i come back, and maybe 20 percent of the stuff being posted isn't nonsense.

the kiddies are overly posting too much crap...too many ridiculous threads that have no meaning whatsoever....or there is a thread i was enjoying, and then it has been hijacked and moved 3 pages by one line comments back and forth about nothing.

please, i fully support and vote for bingle and HGM to be mods...even just limited mod power.

It's not like you need them to be banning people, just controlling the content on the forum.

Agreed! Last night was brutal Jeffy. Around 7 or 8 PM last night everything hit the crapper. I was talking on a thread and then all of a sudden it got closed off and then a million similar threads got started, and then kid fights broke out. It was crazy man. I don't think there could be any more fair mods than those two.

11-12-2009, 04:28 PM

it just makes it so unenjoyable for the rest of us.

I come here to get away from petty crap like that....why would i go on the internet to look for drama?

There is enough in real life to try to dodge, i don't need to see it in places that i want to enjoy myself and talk baseball.

I don't mind a few things from out in left field. i don't mind ejections, it's just whenever everything gets hijacked, yami, ftb and mg all get into this pissing matches over absolutely nothing!

I just want it limited, i know ftb and mg can be good posters, but when you let them run free it can clog everything and keeps this forum from being entertaining.

i should say, mg, has shown it in the past that he can be constructive to a conversation, which is very rare, since he doesn't care to be constructive.

which is why i want mods. if you get rid of the retardedness, they will either be constructive, or won't come around.

Agreed. What really gets me is the retardedness in the sports forum. That's what really bugs me.

Oh, agreed.

Though, at least for me, the other day I took a good look around at the general mayhem, and just decided "Meep it."

So now I try to ignore it, and if I can't then I see if I can meep with the meepheads. It probably just encourages them, but since trying to remain aloof didn't do much for my sanity, I might as well have some fun with the tawdry little meeps.

You know there is 3 pages of recommendations for mods, and yet nothing is done. So what makes us think anything is going to change by complaining more?

There is solutions to this problem without mods, and I found it with the link etothep provided you with yesterday Jeffy (though I installed the app long before), I hate to say it, if youre afraid to install it, then its a you problem and you are going to have to deal with it.

Im sorry I sound mean about it, but I find it annoying about the complaining of these idiots when there are tools at your own disposal to make the forums fun.

So right now, I really dont care what the kids try to do, if I dont like it, its as simple as a right click.

I use firefox and explorer both, but i don't want to put any new add on's on my work computer, for obvious reasons. I try to keep it limited. I just wonder why not do a simple mod situation so it can be peaceful. Surely Clay and Dee don't enjoy coming to the forum and seeing 15 million pointless threads. When you select new posts...tell me, what percentage of those threads has any bearing whatsoever to the world, baseball mogul, or baseball?
