Your posts came when we were winning the game. My posts came during the 3rd and 4th quarters when the team was scoring 12 points in the quarter. See a difference?
Sly warned him about trolling. He was posting that shit when the team was still winning the game. Also, don't make this out like I was running solo. Sly was in the process of suspending you when I pulled the trigger. He's just too slow. It's cool though. I know who my critics are and quite frankly I don't care because those critics are some of the worst rule breakers on the forum.
Here are the rules of the forum. http://sportstwo.com/misc.php?do=showrules 1. All posters with honorable intentions are welcome. 2. This is a big site with a lot of members. You may not like every one of them. However, we expect everyone to at least respect each other. 3. Respect the moderators, global moderators, producers, commissioners, admins, and other staff members of SportsTwo. 4. Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another in good fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed. 5. Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not. 6. SportsTwo is to be a work-friendly and family-friendly site. While there is no blanket rule on how to enforce this, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce this rule and how to enforce it. 7. Everyone is here to offer their opinions, so be prepared to have people disagree with your opinions. There is a difference between attacking someone's post (their opinion) and attacking the poster with the latter not allowed. The staff is here to monitor for such occurrences. 8. Users who have multiple accounts will be publicly identified. 9. We can't anticipate all of the things the staff may find unacceptable. Again, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce any unwritten policies they deem fit, and you are expected to abide by these judgments. 10. The staff is here to be of service any way we can. If you have questions or need help with anything, feel free to PM a mod, GM, Producer, Commissioner, or an Admin. We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time. I've bolded the two that apply here.
So it's only OK to post negative things when the team is losing. Does that mean that multiple complaints about LMA will result in suspensions during games the Blazers are winning?
Nope. The suspensions are just the same people who have been perma-banned before. Mixum OdenIsGod If you're counting the timbertrolls, I wouldn't. We've been proactive in banning them because we don't want to deal with the porn. MM was suspended for calling BF a whore. Who else is there?
I look at it this way: Does that person swing back and forth from negative to positive? Obviously there are going to be games like last night where the team just completely shits the bed and there isn't much to cheer about, but does that person only seem to show up to post negative things about the team? Roytoy is generally one of those people. So was Mixum. So was OdenIsGod. RoyToy became a fucking ghost during the long win streak we had, and only returned when we lost a few games. Sly warned him about trolling the thread, he posted something (when we were winning) that I perceived to be a trollish post so he got a 24 hour suspension.
And it was an overreaction on your part. My post basically implied Lillard was getting torched on defense. Anyone watching the game could see that was the case. It got to the point Lillard was playing so bad you wanted his mother to "slap the shit out of him", as your post so elegantly said. Just because I pointed out how poorly he was playing in the 2nd quarter doesn't mean I should be suspended. Just admit you overreacted and abused your power.
You still haven't even pointed out what was so bad about my posts. Neither has Sly. Saying the Warriors are the better team? Wow, what a trollish stance to take. Saying Lillard is getting torched on defense? I was one of many to say that. You went further and wanted him to be slapped in the face by his mother. The game obviously got the best of you and you needed to take your aggression out on something or someone. If you can't keep a level head then maybe you shouldn't be a moderator. I mean it's already been pointed out by many posters that I said nothing that warranted a suspension, who are the same posters I was trying so hard to provoke . Maybe it's time to step down (again)
There is no manual on how to moderate this forum. We are making it up as we go along. We're always looking for new ways to moderate this forum better. Some work, some don't but considering that you're the only one so far that has ever been given a 1 day suspension I would hardly consider it an overreaction or an abuse of power. If there was any mistake made it was mine in publicly telling you not to troll the tread. I should have told you privately via PM.
