How to Selectively Ignore Signatures

I don't let the mods get to me one way or the other, you'll never see me lash out at them or criticize them, but it doesn't mean people shouldn't have the right to. Could Render have been more diplomatic, absolutely, but people have made far worse comments with nothing said or done about it and I think that creates a double standard, real or perceived.

The mods have made it very clear, especially Ben, that they do not read every, or even most, threads. They only violations they see are when someone brings a certain post to their attention, and it's probably safe to assume that very few post get reported. I think this reason accounts for almost all of the perceived inconsistencies in modding.

Therefore, if you want to call Ben a dipshit, just don't do it in a thread he has posted in, and you'll be fine (I'd suggest trying the soccer or werewolf forums).

Anyways, I didn't even want to post in this thread, it's all teenage girl drama. But some of you whiners are something special. This from someone with admittedly major problems with authority.

I don't think people care as much as you think they do. It's just a message board. The drama is created by mods, everyone else just reacts to it/is irritated by/is amused by it. It's easy to spout off on a board, it takes two seconds, that doesn't make it some important part of your life. I mean you're either posting some shit here, or you're posting shit in some other thread. Neither action means that this is some big part of your life.

The mods don't change my posting habits at all here - they're just all terribly unlikeable and petty and it makes the board worse than it could be, or used to be. That's all. I don't really give a shit. 99% of the internet is a distraction/waste of time.

Edit: I mean, do you think Hell Atlantic is crying under a blanket somewhere? Do the mods think they really "showed him"? Whatever, he's probably fucking his wife and/or taking care of his kid.

[spleen1015]

Other than Ben, wade, ksyrup, who are the mods?

I thought 99% of the internet is porn and only 1% is a distraction/waste of time?

I'll have to think about that - there's some sites I need to check out and then I'll get back to you.

Damn, if you don't know someone's a mod, they are definitely slacking off on the boxing/post reporting.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

People here take this place way too seriously. And I mean that on both sides of this argument.

The board's not supposed to make sense. Shrug it off, laugh a little, and if you're boxed just find something else to do for a little while. You can't fight city hall anyway.

There's no evidence that anyone who has ever been boxed has taken his own life in a fit of raging despair.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

No, but people do go out of their way to get themselves boxed as well in a bizarre form of seppuku.

Being a moderator has to be one of the most thankless jobs in existence. No matter how strict or how lenient you are, someone is going to take issue with how you do it, and someone is going to see how far they can push things.

Serious question...if the only mod powers were to keep the board free of NSFW pics/links, and you were free to say whatever you want to anyone short of making a legitimate threat of bodily harm, would this place be negatively affected in any way?

Depends on if you define "negatively affected" as having 6000 posts about how a pic wasn't "NSFW enough" to be deleted.

yeah can't have the threat of bodily harm because we all know that person is going to drive over to the other person's house and REALLY kick their ass...

If you think this is a legitimate answer to the response then you truly are clueless....the question isn't would you act differently, the question is would the repercussions be different and I think we all know that answer.

Favoritism is a part of life....no one likes it when they are on the wrong side but we all love to be on the favored side....

Wrong. Ant re-posted HA's post. That's a bad precedent to set. What's the point of banning someone if someone else can post for them by proxy?

how are you going to stop that? for all you know HA is AIMing somebody and they are posting for him as we speak.

[Ben E Lou]

It doesn't really matter as long as it isn't attributed.

[RedKingGold]

I feel the ghost of HA starting to possess me as we speak.

Actually, I cleaned it up and posted the gist of it, with a few jokes thrown in. I did not include a large majority of the personal attacks. If it is possible, look at what I edited.

Heh. I'm guessing that he reads some but doesn't log in. He's still very active at IHOF and WOOF and I seem to recall him being a part of discussions at one or both of those leagues about various stuff posted here.

No, but I seem to recall disturbing journal entries.

fair enough I ASSumed he was disagreeing with a decision....that said if HAs final wish was to go out in a balze and make a final statement would it do so much damage to at least let his mi EPIC live? lol

Hehehe. I didn't read the original post, so if I'd read yours, I wouldn't have realized that it was any different. I just edited it. And no, it's not possible to recover the edited version. Still, probably not a great idea.

My favorite part of these clusterfucks is how by the time we're done with them some people are crying at the mods for things that every mod would do all the time no matter what.

We're seriously nearing the point where I could embed 2 girls 1 cup into this thread and people would get mad when I got banned.

Everybody's crying.

1. Mods crying about posters
2. Posters crying about the mods
3. Posters crying about the fact other posters are crying about the mods.

I love how #3 comes in at the end acting all superior, when they might be the saddest group (trying to be the cool kid on a pretend NFL-GM message board). There ain't no cool kids here. If you're making ANY appearance in this thread you're probably not at the top of the food chain.

I'm certainly not trying to be superior(I'm definitely being aggressive about my opinion, but IMO most everyone else is here too), it doesn't seem any different to me than any other argument that degenerates into two sides yelling the same shit over at the other side and eventually others coming in and yelling about the absurdity of the arguments to begin with.

In my mind, my view seems super obvious to me and I have to work pretty hard to even understand the other side that's yelling back at me. I'm sure those disagreeing with me feel the same way about me I don't really see why there needs to be some sort of superiority in that, I have no power to do anything at all.

Right. And that's the funniest part about all this. Posting under a new name after getting suspended has ALWAYS been a perma ban as long as I've been part of FOFC (lurker since 1998, registered since 2002).

The fact that other long-term posters are freaking out about it is incredulous, at best.

If you think people are freaking out about that you've got no clue about the whole thing.

But you're complaining about others, which is all anybody else here is doing. I don't think it's life or death for any of the three groups though, honestly. It's just a message board. That's all I'm saying. But clearly, all three groups have an an angle here that can fairly be described as "whining". Otherwise, they wouldn't be in the thread at all.

Edit: It's just like that thing where people are posting about something ridiculous, and then someone comes in and talks about how stupid it is that anybody cares about that topic (as if anybody really gives a shit about whatever ridiculous topic comes up on a message board). Then what the hell are they doing there? Why do they need to come in and be the topic monitor? If they feel they're above it - go into a thread about BP or Obama or something important.

[stevew]

This is the FOFC equivalent of Al Capone going to jail for tax evasion. Maybe HA will die of salmonella of the penis from a questionable sandwich.

[lungs]

The best course of action here is to lock this thread and have somebody start a new thread about this thread being locked and whoever starts the new thread gets boxed and a whole new shitstorm erupts.

[Critch]

On the plus side, if this thread goes on for another couple of pages pretty much everybody I have set to ignore will be banned, so I can uninstall the firefox add-on.

I'd love just once for somebody to really go out in style with a post like this. It'd almost be like committing board suicide.

Ya know who I really hate? Posters who cry about posters crying about the fact other posters are crying about the mods.

Oh, hell, I can't let this go unchecked. I hate people who hate posters who cry about posters crying about the fact other posters are crying about the mods.
