2012-13 NFL Conference Championships: Pete Carroll is Lennay Kekua

[Mizango]

A fair point, it is a subjective term. But all the points that you brought up are football related. Which I guess I didn't make my point clear enough. I'm referring specifically to non football related posts as spammy. To be clear though, I'm not saying you make one post about something off topic you're getting infracted. But if there's more than a page(length is subjective) of off topic posts that would be when I would post in the thread telling you guys to get back on topic. If it continued past that then I would get with the infracting.

We have to keep in mind new posters jump into these threads. They may not contribute if they stroll into the NFL thread and find a conversation about which cigarette lighter spotlight is the best one for spotting deer in mid January in the Ozarks.

I feel you Weave and I love your fairness and consider you a great friend, but lets be real, how many of us bring newbs to our bosom and allow then to suckle until they feel comfy? How many bitch ass, under geared niggas got BG pearls back when FFXI was hot simply because they were new and needed to be understood? That not how life works. So this is about making the NFL more noob friendly? If anyone knows football or hockey or anything as much then they can EASILY assimilate as they would automatically know more than Leroy and MoW combined. So we piss off the regulars in hopes of attracting new people, who may or may not even show up or even stay?

Yeah I see that as a win.

During my worst in the nba thread a few years ago all I needed was a post saying stop from either qal,aki, or tyche and I stopped. That's all that was really needed

I don't know why infractions are now being handed out.seems really lazy modding

Also this. I got 2 warnings in less than 5 mins for voicing my opinion lol. Nigga acting like we just met yesterday or some shit.

[Mizango]

So, where is Demos...starting to get worried. lol

He's on FB lol. No suicide watch!

[Chun Liroy]

His wife is especially cruel with it, and i want nothing to do with her if the 9ers lose

Oh god, I don't even wanna know what will happen if the 49ers loss occur. Never even thought about that. Commence 2 weeks of trolling with RAY RICE.

You just described 75% of BG. Wander into poopdeck, see arguing between people and memes and inside jokes fly all over the place, such as Bane's poop disorder. GD, Wop references fly all over the place. All of the different sports threads are made up of the same people posting in it, pretty much every year. In fact, if you go to the early versions of THIS thread from this year, we spent time wondering where certain people were, who were around from last year and years prior. Bentertainment, ESPECIALLY the manga/anime threads, are the same. I don't even have to mention spam. The wow threads? The same people. FFXI? Are you serious? There's a LINK to all the drama, memes and whatnot this website has generated, and no doubt will continue to do. And so on, and so forth. So please, enlighten us. What is this new initiative that the higher ups are trying to slowly push onto us? Would it be so hard to explain why a bunch of soft asses that can't handle a word thrashing or 2 are being put in charge of keeping a group of wild posters, such as the BG membership, in check?

Which is a fair point. It's the same way with the NHL thread, always the same posters. But as far as the heaviest moderation goes, it's always going to be in GD because of the traffic from newer posters. I wouldn't say that it's a new initiative or anything of the sort. I would say that you had a bunch of brand new mods turned loose with minimal instructions and a lot of things left open to individual interpretation. The only constant point of reference for us are the rules/guidelines. We can bounce things off of each other and whatever admins that are available, but let's face it, sometimes there isn't anyone around/answering. In those cases you're forced to make a judgment call which we make based off the rules/guidelines, prior conversations, etc. They're not always right. Other mods/admins will back you up even if you fuck up, but they will tell you if they disagree. But in a lot of those cases it's already after the fact and what's done is done.

I have no problem with you guys posting off topic stuff in here. But if I would look in here and see 9 pages of non NFL related posts you guys could expect a warning post from me.

The blue wall is the problem. This isn't a police force needing to cover up brutality, admit your mistakes and move on, issue an apology. The only thing this site has going for it is that when I see hey shitpost 100% of the time, I know that it's just hey and even though he shitposts 100% of the time everyone here is still a family. Some members I like better than others, some are extremely predictable but they're all people who come from a singular point of reference. All this dorito popping and demagoguery isn't what made this place great in the first place and won't make it greater in the future. GD has always been more looked at, sure, and the sports people have been asking for a subforum for years and instead we got poopdeck which just moved the bullshit fake spam threads to a less visible area.

@AdamSchefter

Commissioner Roger Goodell has reinstated Sean Payton from his season-long suspension, effective immediately, NFL announced.

...thought this was supposed to be after the SB?

meh, the saints season is over, i can't see much of a point in keeping him away still

agreed, twitter is saying Roger ended it two weeks early so he could go to the senior bowl. How sweet of him. lol

Does it really matter?

[noblemountain]

Does it really matter?

Nah, just think it's cute that Roger is trying to olive branch NO before he goes down there for the SB so his ass doesn't get shanked.

[Tajin]

Does it really matter?

Short answer no, long answer does if you want to keep shit all business-like, in the big picture Goodell looks like a soft bitch now, but don't think anybody will report on that.

[Correction]

As if that would stop them.

I think every mod is guilty/going to be guilty of this at least once when they first get started. I gave dood an infraction when I probably should have let it slide and argued with him in PM's how I was right etc. Looking back I know now that I came down heavy handed when there was really no need to and I probably should have apologized. But I didn't and I won't because when I made the decision I felt it was right at the time. Now if I fuck up and immediately recognize that I fucked up I would own it. I wouldn't maintain an untenable position just for the sake of principle. I'm not saying that's the case here, I'm not saying it isn't. I'm just saying.

[Boyiee]

He warned people for quoting espn articles and twitter with a "."...that's just asinine.

No one was ever warned or infracted for quoting a news article or tweet with a "." I think it was Cail, but someone posted 3 periods on the same page to fuck with me, and one happened to be a news post. I ended up moving the news post instead of the other blank post accidentally, but I never infracted for that specifically. Miz's warnings were for multiple "." posts in a short duration, not for arguing his point as he's been freely left to do so.
