    Hey, when the dude yells at me that i'm fucking clueless and you guys let it go, it feels like bias. Happens often that others are checked, but he isn't. I could see why he thinks he is special. You guys treat him special.
    All good, but If you don't check him the same as others, then its obvious there is bias.

    They could address him privately. I dont really care to get into this, but its hard to know if they have”checked” him or not unless you’re hacking into their private conversations.

    When has he yelled at you that you're clueless? This is a message board on the internet. I don't think it's possible to yell at people in here. If it is, let me know as I like to yell at people.

    Typically insults like that get edited. That's why it seems as though it went unchecked.

    Anyhow, I don't really care, was just responding to Strens response. Stren can like your post all he wants, but he knows what the rules typically are as a mod.

    Nope they're just letters. On a message board. On the internet.

    We also know all that goes on in our PM's too, that we can't and don't share out here for very obvious reasons.

    Most likely, what posters identify as "bias" or "double-standards" on the mods' part is more a difference in perception. Two statements that one poster may view as comparable can be viewed by the mod as significantly disparate. I've had conversations--both public and private--with people telling me "if <statement x> is edited/deleted, then <statement y> should be too", when I saw them as on completely different levels, and explained my reasoning as to why (after which the poster still thought I was wrong, which happens). Occasionally the mods themselves diverge on what is and isn't a violation of the TOS.

    Often, reasonable people can disagree without it being as nefarious as some might make it out to be.

    If you'd like to PM me with posts that you believe deserve to edited, but weren't, I'm always willing to review and edit/delete if it seems appropriate, or provide an explanation for why I wouldn't.

    Really I could care less until there is seriously actual bias. Nobody is perfect. Just making sure its acknowledged that for all the shit I get from some people around here that everyone seems to like, I never started anything and only had a rebuttal. Cause it sure feels like most people around here think I start this shit.

    You're right--I screwed up the handling of that, and admitted as much when you called me out.

    Yeah, you need to be really careful in this day and age. Offend enough people with insulting, demeaning online comments and you might even get elected president, or something.

    Oh come on. Birthdays for him are no big deal. They only count 1/7th as much as the rest of us.

    Every time i have been out of line Sly has sent me a private message and set me straight. I kind of liked it that way because he didn't put me on blast in front of everyone. Then we come up with a way to handle it and usually agree on the best route. Problem solved and i usually go on my merry way.

    I did call him a cat lover once i think. That was pretty low...

    Happy belated birthday Sly.

    Idk what’s going on with all this but I’d just like to say I think you do a great job managing a bunch of man babies around here! I really appreciate all the work you do and even in my rookie year you let me come to the game with a bunch of you and I still look back on that with a lot of fondness. You do a lot to make this forum great.

    Happy birthday man.

    Hope this didn’t get you down.
