Is that a problem with the thread or with the respondents? So the guy has an unpopular perspective. He's also had an unpopular perspective on Varejao, MCW, Barton, T-Rob, Oden, Lawson. Should all the threads he starts based on opinions with which nobody agrees be moved to OT?
The title and the responses. If the thread were taken seriously, I'd have left the title edited and in the main forum. Now the thread is about it being moved
There have been plenty of threads that stayed on the main page as long as the title was edited. I recall that being the only rule the Trail Blazers requested. No cuss words in the title. I agree the OP has gone a bit loopy lately but if his is moved then who's else will?
We could have worked a loophole here Denny. An ass is a donkey. "Neil can shove that up his donkey!" is perfectly clean front page material.
We all moderate the forum a little different, there is no instruction manual. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don't. I'm guessing less then 1% of posts and threads on here get deleted, moved, or edited, which is far less than what happens in other forums. That shows that we very much support free and open discussion. I agree with Denny that the thread needed something done with it. Personally, I would have copied the thread title into the body of the post and then merge/bury the thread in with one of the many Olshey threads. Not sure if that would have been better or worse. Merging threads upset people almost as much as moving them. Hell, I received complaints this week about not merging threads.
Absolutely. His other threads on MCW and the like fit the bill as well though. I don't run this place (and not interested in doing that) but it was move or edit imo, not both.
Don't worry about it; it's all good. I'm sure the forum is better as a whole when the undesirable elements are removed from the general population. You know, sort of a thematic cleansing as a forum solution.
My only point is posting that is Denny does a great job and you guys need to find something else to bitch about.
Well sure--if someone is generally good at a job, it's just silly to provide input on things we disagree with. Good enough is good enough; why strive for excellence?
Sorry about your man Tim Frazier. I like Tim Frazier, he has talent, but he's not an NBA level player right now. I think he should go to Europe for a couple years and really work on his weaknesses and then give the NBA another shot.
In addition to this thread having zero substance, I would add it is a 100% hate and anger thread. And leave it at that. Joining a forum is much like attending a party at someone’s home. Things can get crazy fast. That is why party throwers set rules to limit the damage the guests can cause. Rules are often adjusted and enforced based on the past history of their guests. The point is, this is not our house. We do not set or enforce the rules at this party. If you do not like the rules, you are free to leave and visit some other party. But I doubt you will find many forums that support, let alone tolerate, threads started and based only on hate and anger. Although the ISIS forums might, but that is only a rumor to me, I have never visited their site. However, my guess is, if you do not agree with their hate and anger, you may lose your head.
