So apparently we can't joke around with fellow posters unless we include Sly?

Do you feel left out?
Were you ignored on the grade school play ground?
Do you not have any hand in your real life relationship?

There was literally no reason to edit my post to Maxie. We were obviously joking with each other, but after 2 or three each you felt the need to insert your name for his when I called him a whore. You didn't remove the word whore, you didn't overreact and suspend me, you just inserted your name for his, so our playing around stopped making sense, stopped being fun, and finally, stopped. God forbid we have some fun here. Let's all get back to arguing with each other about the teams season. Is that really what the forum mods want?

Please stop micromanaging.

 

Attention whore. Kidding. I read that and wondered....

 

I agree while my _amian Lillar_ thread was silly people were starting to have fun with it and we came up with some great nicknames for the team.

Damian O. Lillar_
Robin Tiësto Lopez
Nic B*TOmD
and we were still working on M_ or F$%^ Mo

The boards have become a little stagnant and while I am willing to come up with another brilliant trade that only I seem to appreciate so that everyone can make fun of me again. My pride would prefer I do something else.

 

Incognito thought Martin was in on the joke too.

 

See bolded areas for clarification.


Official Site Rules for SportsTwo

SportsTwo is intended to be a fun community. Keep this in mind, as all of our rules are geared toward making it this way.

All posters with honorable intentions are welcome.
This is a big site with a lot of members. You may not like every one of them. However, we expect everyone to at least respect each other.
Respect the moderators, global moderators, producers, commissioners, admins, and other staff members of SportsTwo.
Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another in good fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed.
Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not.
SportsTwo is to be a work-friendly and family-friendly site. While there is no blanket rule on how to enforce this, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce this rule and how to enforce it.
Everyone is here to offer their opinions, so be prepared to have people disagree with your opinions. There is a difference between attacking someone's post (their opinion) and attacking the poster with the latter not allowed. The staff is here to monitor for such occurrences.
Users who have multiple accounts will be publicly identified.
We can't anticipate all of the things the staff may find unacceptable. Again, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce any unwritten policies they deem fit, and you are expected to abide by these judgments.
The staff is here to be of service any way we can. If you have questions or need help with anything, feel free to PM a mod, GM, Producer, Commissioner, or an Admin.
We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time.

 

This couldn't have been said in PM?

 

Sure it could but one thing Sly always says is he has no problem with Transparency on this board.

 

The constant whining about the moderation of this board is getting out of control. I could probably find some reference to poor moderating in any thread that goes over four or five pages.

 

I can agree with that as a 3rd party. The thing is, if I had an issue, I wouldn't see it as me whining so I understand why those who are whining don't see it as that either.

 

But it's people complaining about biased moderation, when their expectations are completely absurd. We can't be everywhere all the time. We aren't omnipotent and omnipresent.

Someone will post a personal attack at 4am and then another person will start raging about how, "that person can post personal attacks but so and so got banned!?!?" This has actually happened multiple times. Dude..... it was posted at 4 am. Nobody saw it until 6:30 or 7 when we are actually awake.

 

Sly said you have the 4 am shift. You failed again!

It is a thankless job. This may sound harsh but it comes with the territory. Deal with it or move on.

Luckily it is a VERY small minority. Overall this board is easy.

 

Overall I have no problem with the moderation here just wanted to say I missed my thread and we need to have some more fun on here

 

I'll drink to that!

 

*drops the mic

 

Is that all, you lazy bastard!
(please edit)

 

Sly does a great, albeit thankless, job. If people here would just talk basketball and leave the personal crap out, his job would be a lot easier.

 

Sounds like your trying some good things SLY.
