[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 732955, member: 789"] Just my opinion: It’s John’s board and he sets the rules. If you don’t like it move elsewhere to a board that fits your style. Otherwise be subjected to John’s rules. Maybe start one up if you feel the need? John has amassed a number of moderators. They help John enforce the rules. I’m sure they like babysitting a bunch of adults yammering on a message board. That being said, there’s the snitch and the anti-snitch crowd and they pretty much fall into political buckets. At work I always tell my leaders: Pay more attention to the guy not saying anything and get him to talk. He’s sitting on the answer not the constant complainer. 1. Honestly three pages of you’re a liar & I’m not is probably not favored by anyone. I’m sure the Mods are normally working or spending time with their families & it isn’t until they get off work they see “reports”. Collateral damage ensues. Anyone doing this can’t tell me they didn’t know they were getting irritating. You don’t need a Mod to tell you. 2. There’s a left leaning bias on here. One, they’re probably way more apt to complain so those on the moderate side get nuked or deleted way more often. Two, their back & forth is usually pretty comical so moderates just laugh or heckles them. Get over it if you don’t like it. It’s the political cancel culture and our society is now relatively intolerant of anything that’s not defined as mainstream (fairly left). This board is no different. If you’re not with them 100% you’re on the other side even if you agree with half of what they say. 3. Every damn topic practically has some inflammatory undertone. You either like the new football regime or you’re the old regime’s fanboy that just wants mediocrity at everyone else’s expense. You like the new regime’s style & you got gold colored glasses on & don’t understand how life works. Just a sports variant of the political cancel culture. I don’t like the walled off political section because I’m a 1st amendment guy but this is a private board not a government run one. Private board, private rules. It must be maddening trying to moderate a board of GT fans because by and large we’re educated and opinionated. I’m not sure how many posts there are per day but there’s no way Moderators are reading all of them. Hence John’s comments above. I personally find it interesting how people can look at the same scenario & arrive at wildly different conclusions. In my opinion this board is no better at understanding trends and identifying root causes then deriving good solutions that work than the general population which is fascinating. Thank you all for giving us a place to blow some time. [/QUOTE]
