Blazer Fanatic has been banned. (2 Viewers)

I'm fine if you guys want to hold a new mod election. I think one of the things that makes this forum so good is that we elect mods from the membership. If you guys want to go in a different direction and replace me as mod it might be better for the forum. I like being a mod and try to do a good job so I might campaign a little to stay on as one but it wouldn't insult me if we decided to make a change.

And no, I'm only speaking for myself. We wouldn't be holding an election to replace anyone else.

I rarely make a serious post but here goes: I think you do a fantastic job.

I think you do a great job, personally.

As for BF's ban, I'm not sure if this already occurred, but a temporary ban seems more appropriate if anything. Her passion would on occasion actually produce some pretty good posts with interesting research. I really wish she wouldn't be so annoying to everyone she disagrees with though. It got really old, really fast. Not so much the content, the QUANTITY.

I nominate PapaG.

Believe it or not, I turned down a moderator position here.

I knew I'd be a terrible mod.

Blazer Fanatic offered more logical information and stats in her posts than 90% of people in here. People whine in unison and someone gets banned. I for one don't think she did anything wrong and there are far worse posters who post in here everyday. Whiners should be dealt with like floppers: look at them, say nothing, and ignore the whine. When you reward the flop with a whistle what happens? More fucking flopping.

No Shit!

Repped

Go Blazers

 

[PapaG]

So, at the very least, will the posters who PM'd the mods whining about BF put their board name on it?

Own it. We all know I've had my share of battles here, but they're all out in the open, and I don't whine to the mods about it.

 

[oldguy]

We've tried suspensions with other members. They don't seem to work.

So, how have the bans been working?

Go Blazers

 

[MarAzul]

Due to a rather large number of PMs we've received from multiple different members complaining about the forum not being fun due to BF's presence, a number of PMs exchanged with her with no satisfactory change, and after long discussions by all of the Blazer mod staff we feel that she is too disruptive so I have banned her.

I'm posting this here in the main forum but will move it to the off topic section after a few hours.

Thanks, Sly.

Did I complain about her?

 

[dviss1]

I think it's more pathetic that we have had two female posters here in the past year (well, maybe just one, who knows with PDXKass), and a vocal minority of male losers have either run them off the board, or whined enough to have them banned.

Frankly, with the treatment BF got here from some so-called "respected" members, I'm surprised she stuck around long enough to get banned.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled circle jerk!

Excellent post. Repped.

I honestly can't remember but I don't think so. I have a shit ton of private messages.

Yeah, well tell that to Jet and company. They're over there every day going through the same garbage. Erasing is not stopping them from attacking each other. LMAO!

They still have a forum?

If you call 5 people posting crap in a forum. Then, yes, it's a forum.

Agreed, on all fronts.

Great. Two of the mods who don't have silly fights with posters offer to put themselves up for re-election. What a waste of time that would be.

I'd still be around.. and I'm not looking to be a "martyr" or anything like that, its just been getting to the point the last few months where I cant keep up with the growing antimosity in here.

I feel I'm doing this place a disservice at times too though since I'm not really around when things get most heated. I dont post in Ducks game threads during the game, cause I'm usually watching with friends.

With no comcast availability I get to see at most 20% of Blazer games, and posting while watching an illegal feed gets difficult lol.

Plus Timbers season is about to go into full swing again which takes up a lot of my time #WheelsIsACommunist!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That many? Wow.

Yes, I spend an amazing amount of time answering private messages.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

That many? Wow.

Of course most of those are from adultfriendfinder.com

I think that's the goal of some posters here, too.

LMAO! Thank you, Homer.

 

[dviss1]

Again. Sexist. I never would have pegged you for that, based on posts I've read from you in the past.

Say what you want but the bottom line is exactly what PapaG talked about. The men in this forum are whining about being bullied and it got our only female poster banned. I'm not a sexist at all. I believe in equal rights for all humans. But I'll be damned if I whine about being bullied. By a Male or Female.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Yes, I spend an amazing amount of time answering private messages.

Also I would like to apologize to some of you. You send these long detailed messages and I hope you don't feel like I'm blowing you off with a one or two sentence reply.

You don't have a real job do you?

I can't believe that many people PM moderators around here.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

I'm not a fan of bans unless its spam. Even trolls like carlito served to create discussion. Bf liked to beat a dead horse but she was usually entertaining, even though she wouldn't cheat on her husband with me. If you have nothing better to do than cry to teacher about someone else on a message board I think you should reevaluate your life. I've never used ignore but it seems like a pretty simple solution if you just can't stand someone's posts but lack the will to scan over it.

Denny said he wanted new members.

I think you guys have successfully scared off any potential mods, lol.

Wow.

I feel so shitty that I haven't sent you a PM since last July. I'll try harder in '14!

Sly almost scared me into retirement when I saw his post!

 

[santeesioux]

I think i've pm'd a mod once, and that was to warn them that a Minny troll was posting dick pictures.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Bring me into the blazers forum so I can ban all of you assholes!
