    We tried that with HCP. Somehow he finds his way back. I guess we let him because his wife is one piece of ace.

    JinxSpeed makes this forum much less enjoyable compared to Stren, trust me!

    Anybody can put him on ignore. Stren trolling is something every poster is forced to read.

    Stren is not important enough to get worked up about. He's watching baseball anyway. My personal ignore function doesn't care if he's a mod or not, I can just skim past his posts. It's like ignoring a bum asking you for cigarettes or spare change...you just keep walkin' down the street. This is a fact and not up for debate!!!!

    Yeah I always thought the ignore function was more about ignoring personal attacks or bullies.

    Stren isn't going out of his way to go after anybody personally.

    Just because somebody has some negative feedback for you doesn't mean you need a forum function to block them.

    I don't have anybody on ignore. But if somebody was constantly coming after me personally I would use the ignore function.

    I haven't seen Stren do anything close to that egregious to anybody.

    It's not negative feedback, it's constantly being a condescending know it all asshole that states garbage opinions as indisputable facts.

    And I get that's your opinion, and you are certainly welcome to that opinion. But I just don't understand why that's a problem since you know to expect that kind of post from him.

    As far as I can tell he doesn't abuse his mod powers and the other mods seem to appreciate him in the mod capacity.

    I'd rather have a mod like that than somebody who's super polite in their posts but abuses or neglects their mod responsibilities.

    And I'd rather not eliminate a capable mod thereby putting more of a burden on the other mods.

    Further, I wouldn't enjoy this place as much if mods weren't free to speak their minds. Regardless of if I agree with them or consider their point to be flawed, or if I didn't like their delivery.

    I appreciate all of the different styles and perspectives in this forum. That's just my take.

    I don't think anybody is speaking to what he does as a moderator. And obviously, we all know nothing of what that entails. And what he does or doesn't do on that end. Nobody is saying he abuses mod powers. Mods can have opinions. And act as normal posters. But when a normal poster is a negative ass ALL the time, you can put them on ignore if you like. And that isn't the case here. But so be it. Stren gets to be an arrogant prick and tell everyone they're wrong and stupid because he's a mod.

    The fact that all the mods tend to support him leads to me to believe they aren't disappointed with the way he handles his responsibilities.

    Just an assumption on my part.

    Again, it's not about his moderating duties and whatever he does on that end. As for posting, the mods also supported a long list of since banned posters for working right upside the rules

    First they came for Stren. And no one spoke up because they weren't Stren. Then they came for King Speed. And no one spoke up because no one listens to King Speed. Then they came for UCD. And no one spoke up because UCD was a horse's ass. Pretty soon everyone disappeared because there was no one to disagree with, therefore there were no more conversations to be had because everyone agreed on everything.....and Stren was no longer around to provoke a discussion. Sounds boring AF to me........
