What I really don't get is why there are mods on the board yet, they let the obvious trolling take place. Why have mods at all? I get that people shouldn't respond to a troll, but it is also against the forum "rules" to troll. Then, you want to turn it into the other posters' responsibility to remove a troll instead of just doing your own job on your own board. Nice work.
Speak for yourself...I'll spell it out for you...He was talking about the posters who think a great injustice has been done by letting him post. I for one enjoy having discourse with him. Just because some people get emotionally unstable while reading his post does not mean I shouldnt be entitled to talk to him on a freakin SPORTS FORUM
Then get his email address or IM screen name and you two can have some amazing "discourse". I don't see many posters other than MIXUM who are getting emotionally unstable.
I disagree... inflammatory- just because he thinks somebody in the blazer organization sucks or is having an issue and you disagree doesnt make it inflammatory. He has no control over your reaction....YOU perceive it as inflammatory extraneous- he has always givin on point reasons on why he believes what he believes. Just because he interprets the information with a more stern eye than yours doesnt make him wrong. Maybe your the one thats wrong for being too lenient? Off-topic- all Mixum talks about is bball, I think everyone can agree on that ...so yeah...I disagree
I do think he gets overly emotional about people not agreeing with him. I.E. the when Oden gets a pass thread. He was answered by several different posters, but kept posting that no answers were given, and keeps pushing it. I dont view Mixum as a troll, but more as the extremely pushy/annoying political activist who stands outside the mall making sure people are registered to vote.
I don't think we have rules posted here anymore, and frankly, I prefer to have as few as possible. There never was a rule against trolling - trash talk is a big thing in sports, after all. The TWO in SportsTwo is as in Web 2.0, or it's about you posters, not the staff. The entire site needs a lot of moderating that has nothing to do with mods being confrontational with posters. We have a moderating stats page (for staff only), and our top 10 moderators (actually doing mod things) are: 1) huevonkiller 2) truebluefan 3) speeds 4) Minstrel 5) Me 6) Ronan 7) Ed O 8) Barfo 9) Sir Psycho Sexy 10) Vinyard 17,583 total "Moderating Actions" (things that mods do with their extra controls the software gives them).
I know you're having a great time seeking attention playing "devil's advocate" right now, but I'll play along... Take a look at his last topic title. "read em and weep". Yep, no intent to be inflammatory there. You must not be referring to how he posts some gibberish in all caps, and then very rarely responds to peoples' direct questions. If you can find meaning and reasoning in his posts, you might want to seek help, since you might have similar thought (or lack of) processes. Yeah, and I disagree that you can read correctly. It doesn't need to be ALL of the above.
He got unbanned real quick, with a public apology, and it was a huge mistake we don't want to repeat.
