    It has been my fault for not staying on top of the mod core here.

    That being said, the title of the thread applies to mods first and foremost! So posters, let me know via pm if someone continues to post in that manner both from the past and in the future!

    We have a simple rules here:

    1. Have fun. You cant have fun when posters and especially mods are combatant and belittle you and your opinions on the Rangers

    2. Post with others the way you want them to post to you!! No name calling to each other(players, teams, etc is fine) No belittling someone because they feel different than you do about the Rangers!! You are all Ranger fans, not enemies.

    I have talked to the mod in question. We shall see what unfolds.

    That being said, we have enjoyed having all of you here. We want your stay to be a pleasant one! It can't be when people attack you daily.

    You should also look into people's posts being deleted by the "mods" here when your opinion doesn't coincide theirs. Childish I know, but true.

    Why would this post be deleted?

    If we want to make the forum better and better over time, shouldn't we listen to the criticisms of the users?

    It seems to me this post I quote is a fair complaint.

    that was nothing compared to my PM to him. Do not give a flying F about him or this board if it's going to be run like a bunch of women.

    Great example of why the admins need to stay the hell out if they're not going to be here regularly and get to know who's who. Danipman is a NJ troll who comes here to taunt and instigate, aka troll, but since admins only come when posters go crying to them b/c someone was a big meanie, they don't know what's really going on.

    31, chill man. You have some serious anger issues...:). Chill out bro. We ALL need to remember this is a message board for sports nuts...LOL.

    In general everyone just needs to stay above this non-sense. And that's what this all is IMO. Enough with everyone calling people out. Worried about what someone else says. Who said sell. Who said buy. You were right. You were wrong. WHO CARES.

    Let's discuss the team, not call out other posters and try to prove points.

    Let's ALL (me included) cut the BS and focus on the team/games.

    2 things pissed me off today Chuck:

    1. That dump got in trouble with the admins because some asshole reject ratted him out to them because this supposed "adult" couldn't handle Dump being mean. Hurt his feminine feelings apparently.

    2. That the admin comes here blasting Dump with his stupid exclamation marks trying to look like a fucking hero to his children "hey, if someone's mean to you, let me know, i will take care of it".

    If we all remembered this is a message board for sports nuts then we wouldn't have morons ratting Dump out and would take the banter here as adults.

    Then, to top it off, DennyCranne's post shows how clueless admins are to what regularly goes on the boards and just come over to try to be hero's.

    oh and Chuck, admins need to remember this board was dead internet space before Dump brought us all here and should let us be instead of trying to be Big Sister whenever someone goes crying to them.

    i told TrueBlue all this and more in my PM to him, b/c it's a fking joke what people are doing (ratting out) and how clueless admins are when responding.

    Some of that is fair if true, especially the part of the admins not knowing what is really going on but knocking the mods off the word of a random poster. So I hear you there. That's fair. They should do some due diligence if they didn't.

    And I 10000000000000% agree with you on the ratting people out thing. Man up people. You really need to cry to a mod because someone was mean to you on a message board...come on now.

    With that said, a lot of this stuff can be avoided if we all just stayed above it and focused on the team and game. We can disagree, but we can do it in a civil way. We shouldn't have to resort to calling people out or calling people names. That would cover 98% of the stuff that happens here. There will also be trolls that pop in and cause issues, and that is where the admins need to do some due diligence on the validity of the complaint, but overall let's all stop the BS stuff. No need for it.

    Unless dump got banned who gives a shit who went crying to a admin. The owner of the site should investigate any and all complaints. No reason for you to get all mad and possibly disrespectful.

    I'm not sure what exactly happened so I'm not putting blame on anybody or anything. All I can suggest is whatever problems exist we can all act like adults and work it out. I've been posting along with Dump for years and what you see is what you get. He has never changed for anybody and while he might get on some folks I'm sure he would just as soon grab a beer and talk Rangers with you. We're all Rangers fans and want the same for this team. Cut Dump some slack as he doesn't have the Reggits of the world to yell at anymore.

    Nobody "finked" or anything like that. We really just want the board to be open to anyone and inviting to new people. We can see that threads with lots of good posts have been deleted, and that just isn't right. If people take the time to write up a post, it should stand as long as the site does.

    The guys who are admins on this site have been running fairly large sports message board sites for 15+ years. The difference between us and ESPN is WE CARE. They obviously didn't, since they closed down their forums.

    If you think some poster is a troll, just don't respond to him. What fun is it for them if they're not getting under anyone's skin? All that'll be left after that are people who want to participate honorably.

    Please consider what I said. We want the place to be inviting to prospective new posters. Why would someone come here and stick if they see mods cussing out posters and threads and posts getting deleted?

    Trolls and their posts SHOULD be deleted. That shows real members of these boards that you actually do care about content and having good conversations, not useless posts only posted to stir up trouble.

    I kind of agree with Denny. Let them post. Who cares. Just ignore it. And no posts should be deleted. I have a huge issue with that. Frankly I think that is flat out BS.

    On top of that, do we really have a troll issue here? Not really, so it shouldn't be too much of a concern. To me the only time we should delete a trolls posts are if the board is infested with trolls and it is get unreadable. Short of that let it be IMO.

    Nothing happened in the past few days that hasn't before. We all know Dumps schtick and I doubt it actually bothers anyone.

    Was out all day and just got online and noticed this thread. Don't know who complained but I kinda doubt its any of the regulars that have been on this site since the summer when dump pretty much brought us all on board and I'm glad he took the time to find a site for us and invite us all in. After the nonsense on the espn board which I viewed but rarely participated because of troll dopes like ddd whose main goal was to just instigate and aggrevate everyone else and was a walking encyclopedia of useful knowledge. I don't know about posts disappearing but if they were the same kind of antagonizing nonsense that I just described I'm glad they were deleted. There is a lot of give and take on this site and different opinions are allowed and argued back and forth and the names that are called to me is no big deal and goes both ways. I hope dump isn't banned for whatever reason if that was the purpose of this thread and I hope dump and 31 continue to get rid of the obvious trolls who come on with their agendas that ruin the board for everyone else and keep the actual ranger fans from posting. So far to me this board has been great and with the added yankee site attached is easy to use and informative for us ranger and yankee fans. No need to force growth as the boards rep will speak for itself and other ranger fans will eventually find it and post also. I really like this board and hope nothing and no one is changed

    This society is soft now. Nothing wrong with some bashing as long as it doesn't get nasty. Correct me if I'm wrong. When Pasta and Stealth were here, somebody called us thin skinned for not taking their stupidity. Now, a few whiners complain and we have this thread. Please.
