That's what so perplexing...say any kind of vile, racist, wish of death on someone, and no one blinks.
Then say something you never thought would rock the boat and some mod on his period has a hissy fit.

The fact that some of you are actually adults in real life scares me.

Apparently you haven't been paying attention to this year's presidential election.

If you had paid attention all your scare would have been used up by now.

Some crazy,twisted,nutbag ****ers out there

(notice i didn't say which side, so keep your shit to yourself)

Which mod do you believe "needs to be kicked to the curb"?

Banned

How long before you stop crying about the times you've been banned and start working on not being an insufferable prick?

Drunk is no excuse. Having fun at someone elses expense...really that is very child like and not nice let alone cool.

If you are running into trouble with the Mods, you are either trying to or you're a ****ing dipshit.

This has been my response to probably every thread created bitching about the mods. But I just dont think that's the case this time. Does anyone (besides Uncle's boy-toy) actually think the talking cans ban was even remotely justified?

I think moderation has gone downhill over the last decade, much like the quality of discussion on the board itself has. It seems at times that certain mods have favorites/friends that get away with basically everything, long time members are driven off, newer trolls are embraced. That's part of the reason I almost never show up outside the media center anymore. Most of the people I respected or enjoyed talking to are gone, most of the posters that replaced them are either trolls or don't add anything to discussions, most of the discussions aren't even discussions, just people screaming at each other how right they are and how stupid anybody who disagrees is.

But that said I don't have a solution. Who do you replace and how would you replace them? Who the **** would actually want to be a mod?

You've posted various takes along these lines for 2-3 years now

Yeah it sucks that guys like Htis and other football-centric posters and their kind have moved on to better things in their life (to their credit)... but damn bro, its not like us rock bottom remainders are over here beating off to Axl Smith highlights and talking about World of Warcraft

There is STILL heated football discussion going on... maybe the technical jargon isnt quite as sharp as in days past... but there are still plenty of die-hard Chiefs fans around slingin smack and talkin back!

Why not be part of the solution, instead of the other option?

Your choice to join up, when this place becomes a safe space... thats when I give up and go plant a garden and die

He was banned from one thread, not banned from the site. Is that really a major issue? A mod with a short leash on a game day thread, so be it. Making a thread and acting like it's a major issue is pretty hilarious.

Just when I thought we had our max amount of estrogen on CP, this places brings in more hormones.

There are some good mods here, and there are some awful mods here.

I've been banned from the whole site for no reason at all, only because a mod wanted to have fun. Still not sure why he's a mod.

Lew, you have great takes normally..but you're wrong here. Banning someone and crying for people to be banned is the pussy move.

Giving your opinion about it on a site you care about is not the same thing at all. I actually can't stand the talking can. But here I am defending the guy. The game day thread really isn't just another thread either......for me and others it's what I look forward to a week.

Anyhow..it's not real fair to say giving your opinion on this is pussy shit when the ban was the pussy shit in the 1st place.

I still lust you though

Tuck just got served another serving of Alex Douglas Smith. Plug your nose and swallow it buddy.

Because Austin don't give a shit is the bottom line.
