The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

But Gronk is now in other threads telling people they have "pathetic lives". Like Dviss said, y'all need to reign him in.

 

I’d love to know what I posted that was worthy of being deleted by this @Strenuus kid.

 

I pretty sure I wasn’t out of line. But whatever helps keep the peace.

 

Ditto Bones.

 

You didn’t let Stren give you his world-famous reach-around.

 

Sorry for the extra work but really. Who the hell writes to a mod and complains about another poster??? Seriously? You can’t discuss that with the person first hand and try to solve it without a mod?

That shit cracks me up. Sorry.

 

Gronk has united the board though, I'll vibe him that. He may have united the board against him, but you gotta look at the silver lining.

 

At the end of the day Stren moderated people responding to someone with a language barrier who was throwing benign insults.
My only issue with his moderation of this thread was him actually missing the reason why those posts were posted.
If you're going to be a mod for anything. You need to put yourself outside the situation and figure out whats going on.
If you're unwilling/unable to do that, then frankly you're not doing your job.
Which will lead to people mentioning why X was allowed, yet Y was deleted.
You're going to miss things, but for you then to come in and seek approval for your moderation.. Even though you clearly missed things... is silly(from other mods who've asked you in the past to actually do something.)
Then to come in and double down on your post while tagging two people is further failing to moderate. Considering we're STILL talking about the moderation, and not the thread.
Stren could've said. 'yeah my bad I missed some things, will get them now'. He could've left it alone, he could've pm'd people directly. Instead he chose to post publicly.

Then you claim you're going to come in and lock this thread? All because you failed to properly moderate?
What a joke.

At the end of the day if you're going to act superior to someone in any aspect of life(which if you look at it, is an insult itself). You're going to get some clap back.
This poster has done it multiple times over his tenure on sportstwo.com.
It's been allowed to clap back at him, only for this time it wasn't.
Because he pm'd a mod? Hilarious. Next time he posts some bullshit I'll just pm a mod and expect it to be deleted as the precedent has been set.

Edit - oh I deleted my first post. No mod did so. I did. Hopefully that's clear.
Edit #2 proper pronoun useage. I don't want to confuse stren with the guy who has the language barrier.

 

So did someone get suspended or banned again who wasn't all rainbows and butterflies about the team?

 

If only people got banned for that... we wouldn't be here.

 

I realize how little my opinion matters, but as an American that doesn’t mean I won’t spend some time telling you guys what my opinion is anyways. .
A lot of the time I agree at least partially with Gronk. The issue to me is that he’s been saying it non-stop, which means almost everyone is tired of reading it. Every time he posts it escalates very quickly, there’s a lot “insults” or borderline insults that goes both ways, from what I’ve read.

A fight almost always takes at least two to one to instigate and one to counter. I’ve read plenty of posts with him involved where he has done both, but we can all only really control ourselves and we can always choose to not counter him if he’s instigating it. It’s easy enough to scroll on by we don’t have to respond no one “wins”.

 

I didn't follow the argument in this thread....I have had that guy on ignore forever....sort of puts those things out of context....I agree about reigning some folks in around here….starts with us though. Use that ignore button ….

 

That's BS, and an excuse for hot-tempered people to try to insult others. Most of the time, the dude is personally insulting people who haven't insulted him. Don't give him some BS cover of "someone always instigates it".

It's easy to scroll by? Yeah, once. Twice. Not after 100 times though

 

Ridiculous. People are reacting because of his crap. Simple. That's the source.

 

Are you kidding me?! You have more fights here than anyone... and you admitted yesterday you made a false claim of what I said. I never personally insult someone for no reason... go find the 100 time I’ve done it without instigation... you can’t because you are making stuff up again... you get in more fights in here than anyone, so maybe you should go look in the mirror
