    We are human beings. If I say stuff you disagree with or think I'm a jerk about, call me out and we can have a discussion.

    Mods don't have the privilege of ignoring posters at all. Do you understand the pain reading all of HCP's posts?

    And if you posted from a poster account and moderated from a moderator account you could ignore HCP until someone reported him for being HCP, which would then involve you moderating from the moderator account. I don’t get why you’re against this unless having the badge is part of the reward.

    Nobody is going to moderate if they have to log out to go into another account to do so. Again, it is a volunteer thing.

    I understand ultimately nothing will change. I’m glad I’m able to vent in this great forum without fear of reprisal.

    So there's no quality control, it's just whoever wants to play mod gets to play mod?

    How about Strenuus volunteers not to be an asshole all the time? Is that too much to ask?

    If someone overtly abused their mod powers, I'm positive Sly would talk to them and look at removing their mod capabilities. But what do I know? He is an asshole, after all.

    Dude I know you’re human beings! I can’t ignore you so I gotta see you all being human beings all the time in every thread whether I like you or not! And I don’t want my only recourse for that being some weird misplaced joy that you have to engage with us! That’s not helping anyone get along.

    Take a guess as to how many private messages I have.

    upload_2025-6-11_15-24-3.png

    And that's not even counting the conversations within the private messages.

    Or the alerts we get from people flagging posts.

    We've gotten serious complaints from members here that we didn't respond to their problem or complaint within 3 minutes. And that was at 5 in the morning Pacific time.

    Your system would involve staff logging in and out of monikers dozens of times a day to meet the needs of the community here and posting their love of the Blazers and sports.

    It's difficult enough to go through a suddenly popular discussion, delete some personal insults, clean up some broken links, and then participate in that very discussion, and now we have to do that while switching back and forth from different monikers?

    That's a lot of additional work that hurts the community and hurts the people who volunteer hundreds of hours a month here.

    I appreciate you trying to find solutions, but this, IMO, isn't practical or fair to both the staff and the members here.

    It's been repeated probably 20 times in here, but nobody is saying there is an abuse of mod powers, and nobody is complaining just of differences of opinion. For this to be continually repeated is pretty annoying, tbh.
