    Hey @julius ! I see you are simply a Green Gobal Moderator. When you add a red moderator label to that, does that make a Supreme Moderator?

    I believe the colors are as follows (I might be incorrect)

    Red = mods of individual forums
    Burn Orange/Red = Not sure what this title means. I think they're staff members, but like I said I don't know what it means (@BrianFromWA is one of these, he might know)
    Purple = Producer. Although I have no clue what that means. I think there's only 1 member with that color, and they haven't been around for over 2 years.
    Gold (?) = writer? I'm not sure what this actually means. I don't know if they have editing powers.
    Green = can moderate all forums
    Blue = admin/owner. The only ones who can delete/ban people. Tho it might just be SlyPoker who can ban people I don't know.


    I think as far as ranking, green might be above red? Tho because I'm not 'assigned' this forum and was given a generic assignment (mostly I've kept spammers out and occasionally will delete posts by said spammers), I am not "above" the mods for this individual section of the forum. I.e., I can't undermine their decisions.

    Thanks. I am not sure I know more now but thanks anyway. I was surprise here not to long ago when a global Moderator edited my posts. Geez, Denny used to kick his ass daily then he starts editing my post.
    This business of people assuming they know what people should do and think is now way over the top. Liberals did not do this all that many years ago. It is pretty new, like in the last 20 to 25 years.

    I cringe at some of the miss information they come up with too. Some names for people that are now out, were never intended to cause an affront. Then others were used to meet the need of the day.

    Like the correct way to reference a person of Japanese descent. Japanese is not really right, it is Nihonjin. Meaning a person from Nippon. The warriors of WWII were closer to correct in the short version of ***.
    No slight intended. I should think that deleting post with information would be avoided by astute moderators.

    My post served as an example of how racist Oswego used to be. Your post looks like drivel to me.

    That's how we learned to color code on resistors first in the Army and then in college. When I started work at Tektronix they used the same saying to teach the color code to new technicians.

    Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Violet, Gray and White. It's been a few decades but I think that's correct.

    Yes, someone was banned for posting the N word in the game threads. They did it 3 different times. They were warned and asked not to do it anymore, after the 3rd time they were banned.

    Sounds like a reasonable punishment. Me? I would have added a fine so's you and I could go out for drinks. Jack with a Coke back anyone?

    I didn't say you did. I merely compared it with other words that were used. Slurs are not ok to be used here.

    I am not a dictator and don't aim or care to be one. I simply moderate by the rules. I don't delete/edit posts without reason or careful regard. I certainly do not store my reasons in my ass.

    You're still here? I have screenshots of the racist "jokes" you posted. I will be forwarding those shots to the Blazers in a few minutes. Your "I was showing how things used to be" excuse is hilarious.

    Any conservative poster would have been banned immediately.

    Repeating anti-semitic jokes isn't necessary to prove how racist things "used to be"

    Tell one of the Blazers a racist joke and say "it's alright that is just what we used to say"

    Good luck with that.

    Everyone knows it isn't allowed here. Good luck explaining why Lanny is still here. The soon to be former official message board of the Portland Trailblazers. Where our buddies can say anything they want cuz CONTEXT.

    Good luck to you as well. This cesspool needs to die already.

    I'm a little confused. If "our buddies can say anything they want cuz CONTEXT", when, then, was Lanny's comments deleted?

    Funny how you and I grew up in the same town a few years apart and you remember so much hate and bigotry all around you while I remember genuine acceptance of people from all walks of life.

    Posting racist jokes but not using a slur to identify the race is racism + hypocrisy + cowardice.

    It seems pretty obvious so a smart guy like yourself should get it. His comments were deleted, Maris or MarAzul would have been banned. Where is @MarAzul anyway?
