    Master shake was removed. I was waiting for his reply, but decided to remove him anyway.

    Mods should never talk to posters in that manner, ever. And what makes it worse, the blazer forum was not his forum to moderate! That does not mean he could have gotten by with that in his forum either!

    We want posters to feel free to express their opinions about their team without the threat of a mod abusing his or her position.

    We apologize for any unnecessary drama this has caused the posters and staff.

    Thank you, TrueBlueFan. I was dismayed to find some of his comments here last night, and I both fully support the backlash against them and your decision to kick him out.

    We all thank you!

    If worse comes to worse, we'll block him from accessing the blazers forum.

    Great news. I'm glad someone was suspended that deserved it this time.

    To be clear, he was removed from the staff. He's not banned or suspended.

    Ah. Thanks for the clarification. Banning him from our forum would be great

    and again I am not embarrassed to be a mod. To clarify I was never embarrassed because of all of the staff. But it was embarrassing to me that someone who shows(ed) up under "Site Leaders" was in here spewing stuff like that. It was blatant trolling. I know we like to have fun in here, and poke fun at eachother, but it was too much. It was obvious baiting that was going on. And as a mod you should at least be held to a little higher standard. Not diminishing one who is not a mod, but someone who is going to take part and show up under "site leaders" should be held more accountable IMO. Thank you rest of the staff for this.

    We give you a pass because you're a Duck fan. But watch your ass, fella.

    Mod job opening?

    On a related note, I never see that TomBoerwinkle#1 around. I knew he didn't really exist and it was just an anagram for #1 Mobile Network.
