Cut out the personal attacks and over-the-top name calling

• SnotBubbles

  

  But LJ, I aint even mad. And I forgive you for negging me and calling me a retard. As does my homie JC.

  :laugh:

  I'm not crying, I could give a shit about the rep bar and or infractions. I'm "crying" because if you're not a moderator on THIS forum, you're abusing your power (by handing out negative rep points). Only moderators can do that. Which makes you a pretty shitty moderator.

You can start neggering people for no reason, other than you don't like them? I guess that makes you even more sucking of the sucks on most days.
  
  In retrospect, I didn't know you only moderated the politics forum. I thought you were over here as a moderator, being a dick sometimes. If you're appointed a moderator on this site, you should be (as sleeper has said) consistent, not only in your handling of infractions, but also in regards to the content of which you post.

  
  Lol... Bet this post got negged.

  The only reason I know who any of the moderators are on this site is because some people cry about how unfair they are.

  You still represent the forum when you post. It doesn't matter if you only moderate one section.

  Colored names homie. That's how theez cats roll.

  I'm just a normal poster in other forums.
  
  Hell, a mod got an infraction this morning :laugh:. We get moderated too.

  Yes, but people, mostly new people don't know that. All they see is your name is in purple and that makes you a representative of the forum. With that title, you have to be held to a higher standard and can ill afford to toe any line.

  With this explanation:

  suck on this shit

  Again...I could care less, I'll post a picture of a vagina right now and get banneded (don't worry Justin, I promise it's just a threat)...it's the internet. But the fact is, LJ, who moderates many message boards with a respectful iron fist....juuuuuust abused his power as a moderator again by negging me for no reason other then his discontentment with what I'm posting (in a forum he doesn't moderate).
  
  I will now, suck on that shit.

  Exactly what I'm trying to say. But I don't think I'm as smarts as teh sleeper guy.

  So what is negging for? Explain it then?

  The problem is, I don't care about people's feelings.

  Then you are part of the problem, not the solution. If new user acquisition is the goal, you are not toeing the company line. If anything, you are directly responsible for a lack of new blood around here.

  Not caring really one way or the other, that's just how things are done here. But I will say that most (if not all) other site I frequent moderator bullshit isn't a problem.
• LJ

  

  It wouldn't be a particular poster that destroys tons of threads with his extreme "views" on:
  religion
  races
  Notre Dame
  Miltiary
  
  Nah. He isn't responsible for anything :rolleyes:

  It's a perk of being a moderator, sorting out posts that are bad for this message board (for those who care about the rep bar...like ETB). If it's just to throw in someone's face because you don't agree with them or don't like what they're saying, everyone should have the power. Not just the mods. Guess what, we don't. Moderators do. And you abuse it, abusing your powers as a moderator.

  That poster doesn't represent the forum leadership. That's the difference.

  No, but that poster almost single handily ruined the college football forum, driving people away.

  Thanks for your dissertation.
  
  
  Hope someone cares.

  For now, but I hear that's going to change. Justin got the idea from Rex Ryan naming the biggest thug on his team a captain.

  Ruined?
  
  Check the forum statistics. When I'm on vacation, posting is down. When I'm active, posting increases; and I'm not just talking about my posts.
  
  My themes are no different than anyone elses. Pro Ohio State, Anti SEC, anti Notre Dame. I'm just better at expressing those feelings than anyone else.

  Making Notre Dame fans and military parents tell you to eat shit and die does increase the shear volume, I'll give you that.
