WHERE DID THE MODERATOR THREAD GO? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

RedWhine56 · 06-21-2006, 06:08 PM

Obviously, this is a rhetorical question, because if the thread is gone, it's because it got deleted by a mod. But WTF? I'm wondering why a MODERATOR can repeatedly flame members & get by with it. And then when said moderator's actions are questioned in a mature manner (UNLIKE SAID MODERATOR'S FLAMES!), the thread is pulled? I've been ripped a new one more than once here & NEVER reported it or asked that it be pulled. If I feel I'm in the wrong, I have the gonads to say so & apologize. I post my replies, use the "ignore member" button, when warranted & move on. I would expect as much from a moderator.

I made a simple non flame post on Chit Chat and it got pulled. Before you critisize you might wonder what goes on behind the scenes.

Red Whine (gonna have to kick my own ass for this but)

I agree 100% and more because of the complete lack of respect that Savage was given by another mod when she tried to calm things.

Please note there is no flames or fictional information in this post so there really should be no need to shut it down. We should have a right to express displeasure.

Mr. Class and all his clever snide remarks. Wonder what the qualifications are to be a moderator? Can't be more then tubes and life support.

You just don't get it do you? I guess your "Non Flame" thread entitled "Brain Damaged is an A$$ was sweet and innocent?

How about "I am ready to take this to his turf." Huh? lol What turf? You do realize this is a message board don't you. I retired last night, but you guys just won't let it go and when someone reacts to it, you cry. You can dish it, but can't take it.

The thread in question was deleted by savageamusement.

Creating a thread solely to bash another member is against the rules. There was another thread made on Chit Chat that was pulled for the same reason. I'd hardly call a thread with the title "Brain Damaged - 100% First Class A$$" a non flame post. How would you feel if a thread like that was created about savageamusement or another well respected member? If you want to discuss this privately, feel free to contact me.

Everyone was a little guilty in the other threads. Brian Damage definitely should have handled things differently. I told him that.. but so could everybody else in that thread instead of continuing the fight. It could have been reported. The instinct is just to continue the fight until it gets broken up by the referee. Solomon started a thread and was basically ridiculed in 3 different threads. Brian stood up for him, as any good friend would do, and then all hell broke loose. The insults were flying left and right. I can't ask a moderator not to defend himself.

And just so everyone knows, the only moderators that can close/open, edit threads on the Trading Post are savageamusement, combsisthebest, and the admins. There are no "Super Moderators" here that have power across all boards.

This really needs to end once and for all, everybody just needs to move on to something else. Any further threads on the subject will just be deleted. I've never seen 2 groups of people on a message board act so differently. Can't everybody just get along? If you don't like somebody, just ignore them. Don't talk about them behind their backs and make sarcastic remarks. If you continually ridicule someone, you are looking for trouble.

Lex Luthor · 06-21-2006, 06:55 PM

I can take it there just has not been anything dished out on your end aside from getting people to close posts because you can't take the heat.

I don't need help unlike you

TJ · 06-21-2006, 06:57 PM

Gentlemen.. please let's not go through what we went through last night. Let's agree to disagree and stop with the flame wars.

Lex Luthor · 06-21-2006, 06:58 PM

TJ

Your board, your rules and I will end it here.

The thread I'm referring to was right here in Trading Post & the subject line was "Moderating".

It was. I know this for a fact as I did so myself. Yet Brian continued (as he is now) on with his put downs. Hardly the behaviour of someone who is (in theory) supposed to be setting an example.
