He was a lawyer supposedlyI always thought the rep score was stupid and just a way for a certain ex-mod to further inflate his ego.
Oddly, he didn't know much about law...
Thank you for your understanding.
Until posts are treated equally under the same rules, I don't have any understanding. Nor should I.
You'll have to give me some examples. I'm not on here as much these days because of life, so I don't have my finger on the pulse of things and I have not seen any rules discrepancies by the mod squad in the stuff I have read.
I know there has been a little bit of leeway in a couple of threads in the Non Sports Topics forum, but we can shut them down if they become problematic to the point of creating divisiveness and/or anger among members.

I think another issue is that there's more than one mod. Not that that's a problem in itself. But it's tough enough for me to stay consistent. It's even harder for two, three, four mods to look at everything the same way every time.You'll have to give me some examples.

Well, my way of thinking is there is either a NSZ, or there isn't. There is either religious or political talk, or there isn't.
No in-betweens, because that's where and why things happen. "Current event" discussions can skirt the boundaries quickly. And I don't know how you would manage that in any meaningful way other than just monitoring more closely those types of discussions.
That wouldnt be Texans TalkIf we follow a strict line of thinking of following the rules then don’t ever get off topic in a thread.

My big thing is if my post get's deleted, tell me why.No it wouldn't, we're not bots. Almost every single thread I've seen gets off topic from time to time. Which doesn't bother me at all. People sweat the small stuff too much.. just have thicker skin and keep it moving. This isn't daycare, we're grown adults.
I don't really care for "current event" talk here either."Current event"

I think some people get overly upset when their post gets deleted and then lash out and play whataboutisms.

It is difficult to ask the mods to pick a choose what rules you want strictly followed and what you don’t.

I (personally) make exception for the Uvalde & Ukraine threads. Threatened to close the Ukraine thread down when it got started & tried to actively moderate politics out of it.
However, I'm not the only mod here. If any of the other Mods were to lock/delete those threads I wouldn't lose sleep.
So either they agree with me those are discussions worth having that can be had without discussing politics or religion, or they have some other reason.
& for me, it's just like the Covid conversations. We can talk about the virus & all the crap related to it. But once the conversation is politicized, I'll moderate it out.
See what I did there? I mentioned Covid & referenced politicizing. But the conversation is not about politics. If you can't make that distinction, then I'm sorry for you. But the answer to the problem is not to stifle the conversation.
I know because of one particular mod I won't be giving another dime to this site because of what you posted above and I've contributed throughout the years. Kinda sad in a way it's come to this.
A moderator's job is simple, moderate the site according to site rules, making no exceptions for any poster. This isn't being done on a consistent basis on this site.

Of course you made this post.
Too bad you struggle to make this distinction with other members posts. You must be proud of the fact that you by far delete posts more than any other mod.
Congratulations

That's no funLike two peas in a pod.
At the end of the day you have to decide to either accept the natural human element in things and continue to post here, or just pack up your **** and go.
It is what it is. It ain’t gonna be perfect, equal or fair anywhere.
Is it fun being banned? You may consider it funny, but is it fun?That's no fun

And you keep pushingWell at least he probably won't be challenging me to a fight like he did last time he banned me. Which was another B's ban. Funny how he's the only mod that's ever banned me in all of my time here. Color me shocked. Yet somehow he's still a mod. Tells you all you really need to know.
LMAO
I wasn’t sure you were talking about me, until now. Spreading misinformation. I wasn’t challenging you to a fight. You seemed to be ready to throw down. I just gave you my address.Well at least he probably won't be challenging me to a fight like he did last time he banned me. Which was another B's ban.

I think I agree with you on Kubiak. Good/Great OC… HC, not so much.Spin spin spin
Like I said you're the only mod that's given me enough points to ban me and you did this once in one afternoon because you disagree with me on Kubiak. I'm moving because you are who you are and aren't going to change, but I just wanted to point out for others the hypocrisy.
but I just wanted to point out for others the hypocrisy.
My advice in coping with deleted or other mod corrections to my posts:
Meh.
If I'm honest, I have the attention span of a goldfish... so yeah... I probably unintentionally went off topic.
I have an odd sense of humor so I probably insulted someones momma.
My mouth and fingers seem to run 10 times faster than my brain cells so, yeah. I probably said something stupid.
A whole lot of typing Father Flannigan style.From comments that I have read in this thread for years it seems like the same posters are the ones being deleted or occasionally banned. What would really be cool if those people would realize that what they're saying is not going to be allowed and stop pushing the boundaries. It's sort of like a kid throwing a tantrum because he wants what he wants regardless of what he's being told. One of my threads was recently locked because people continued to post political crap in it. I was ridiculed when I tried to redirect people back to the main topic.
" Susie didn't get a ticket when she drove 10 miles over the speed limit but I got a ticket! Therefor ALL cops are evil and should be fired." Sheesh.
We used to play backyard football and the rules were set by whoever brought the football or who lived in the house we played behind. If you didn't like the rules you didn't play.
Lord knows I'm not in the clique. I didn't fall in line with the former QB was top 5. I paid a price for that and I find it very amuzing that some of my criticism of his own field play carried over to his personal lifestyle. I wasn't Surprised at all by this. Some of the abuse I took when I started up the sexual assault thread wasn't called for, but wasn't surprising.I’ve had tons of posts deleted…even a couple I didn’t deserve. this is a MB and nation of complainers. But there is a definite clique here but I’d first have to give a damn before I’d make a big deal out of it. In fact I’m honored if I piss off somebody in the clique and I get whacked.
No apology necessary, could not have said it better myself! Seems like a lot of whining going on. If a poster has been warned repeatedly he has only himself to blame.If anyone has a problem with forum moderation, please PM me and/or Hookem
Talking shit about the mod squad is not an option, so this is the warning.
If you have a problem or question about forum rules, this is your thread.
But to whine, bitch, complain about a mod? This ain't the place. Hit me up and we'll chat. I'm a reasonable kinda' guy. . .most of the time.
p.s. sorry about the language, Badboy. Sometimes situations call for more colorful adjectives.

Not stressed at all, bud. Especially over something on a damn MB.LOL.
I think I am the only one who is really laughing.
Other people appear to be bitter.
You seem overly stressed. I know a guy that can recommend a good masseuse for you.
Like a moderator?Perhaps some, hell, all of us, should take a break from here from time to time.
There’s not a damn thing going on football wise, I guess some of y’all are still going on and on about Watson, I don’t know because I stopped reading that shit for a while now, and there’s no politics or religion talk allowed. What the **** is there to argue about? Oh wait, the mods. There’s always the mods to argue about.
Get out of here for a couple of days. You might find you ain’t missing shit and might even want to take a couple more days. Don’t live your life on a ******* MB.
More like all the wisenheimersLike a moderator?

Personally I don’t believe this MB is anywhere near out of control. i think the biggest problem is with these never ending threads where the same bs keeps getting repeated over and over and over. Neurotic. It’s easy then to get off topic or to just get careless over what you say Pretty much just out of boredom. That’s when it’s best to just walk away for awhile. But it will start getting more focused soon with TC.I’ve done it before. It’s a thankless, shitty job I wouldn’t recommend for anyone.
Why a place like this (MB in general) continues to be open for business is beyond me. Especially when it requires its own members volunteering to moderate it to at least try and keep it civil. Trust me, it is not worth the headaches. And it’s usually just a handful of the same posters always causing all those headaches.
And yeah, I get that even moderators can get a little overzealous at times, but this place ain’t nothing compared to some of the power crazed dictators I’ve seen moderate boards.
You want true moderation? Moderate yourselves. It’s really not that hard. But, we’re a whole generation into speaking to people anonymously from behind our computer screens and phones with no sense of accountability, so it is what it is.
Personally I’d shut it all down and let everybody just Tweet or IG or find some other outlet that doesn’t require the effort it takes at a MB to moderate. I mean, they already had to shut down the NSZ because moderating that just became too much of a pain in the ass.
It really ain’t worth it.
