Mods cannot be put on ignore. That is a power normal users do not have.

Posting aggressive bullshit and getting into beef with different posters on here is an abuse of that power. Not could be, not might be someday. Is. Now.

I do not want this power, nor do I want ignore to be eliminated as a feature of the site. Being unable to ignore mods simply means I am subject to all of their opinions whether I like them or not.

You have a platform NOBODY else here gets: guaranteed exposure to all eyeballs who view the thread your post is in.

Does this make any sense to you? It seems really obvious to me so I'm confused as to why you're all getting so defensive about it.

Mods also can't put others on ignore. That seems like a fair trade off.

I understand the feelings about Stren's posts.

I don't think the ignore function should be taken away.

As I mod I am subject to everyone's posts, opinions, thoughts, arguments, etc, whether I like them or not. Unlike me, you could just scroll by mods posts who you don't like.

But, I do get what you are saying truly.

I'm not getting defensive about it, but rather just espousing the amount of work a mod does and how that could be affected by having to use two monikers.
 
Look I get it. I feel like the never-nude yelling "there are dozens of us" whenever I bring it up. It makes me look deeply unserious. I'm just trying to get by to get by here. But not acknowledging this shit causes more problems than it solves, and just acknowledging it would go a long way to shutting me up about it.
I appreciate your suggestion. Thanks for sharing.
 
While I understand your feelings, just tell the mod to chill out. Maybe they just lost their job, got divorced, had someone be a total dipshit to them so they come here to vent. I know sometimes I can be a dick without realizing it. Then I feel bad when I reflect on why someone said I was being a dick.

Or don't read their post. I unfortunately don't get that same privilege. And no offense, but @SlyPokerDog says some really annoying stuff.

I wish more people had empathy for mods who do this for free and sometimes spend hours trying to mediate disagreements/clean up threads when they have families and real life stuff too. Its a thankless volunteering effort. We need some more @PtldPlatypus, he mellows everyone out. I haven't seen him posting as much lately!

Platy is truly the best of us.
 
I voted no. Stren is a good guy and I'm sure he means no harm. I just think he is trying to be funny but failing and isn't aware of it os all.
Im all for Stren keeping his mod status if he can just back off the absolutes of being right and everyone else being wrong.

Id prefer to laugh with him. :)

My feelings exactly. I personally think this whole thread is weird...



Damn bro... Not gonna lie... Complaining about posts like that is snowflake shit... You hear and see way worse things in your life daily. We really need to have a whole thread about this??

Those posts are benign as fuck and you need to grow a spine bro. You can ignore shit without putting it on ignore...

I have straight up racists on ignore in this MF.

Wanting to put someone on ignore for posts like that is soft. Take that however you want.... :dunno:

you know what D? You are out of line here. Read my first couple posts in this thread.
Did you ask me about anything before you just called me a bunch of names out of the blue? Why'd you single me out when there are half a dozen other people saying the same thing as me?

why hasn't anyone else pointed this out?

For all the righteousness and morality talk in this place you would think standing up for fairness wouldn't get you called named and shit. Not by someone who is wanting equality in real life.

Why'd you single me out and not anyone else who some have way more posts complaining about Stren than I??
Thanks D.
I felt that low blow…..

You know how many times i stood up for you when having your rants here????


Who needs enemies when you have friends like this…..
 
I don't expect a system change; it's obvious having two accounts is too inconvenient. But this is a friction that has always been around and will never go away.
No disrespect to you, but the only friction I see is the complaining about this guy/gal. I literally have never seen a post from this person that should cause all this drama. What did I miss? Does this person personally attack people? Or are they doing what TONS on here do everyday? This one is kinda confusing me to be honest.
 
But you are gonna’ read the fuck out of my autobiography son!

Chapter 1: I was born
Chapter 2: Freshman year at Grant, my favorite 3 years of high school.
Chapter 3: Mowing lawns
Chapter 4: Married life.
Chapter 5: Blazers/TV
Chapter 6: Why I purposely chose to look like Curly from the Three Stooges.
Chapter 7: Why I decided to make each chapter 10 pages.

You forgot the chapter on opening his marriage up to a bunch of nerds while on the road.
 
And as far as this threads topic…..am I not on here enough that I missed what all the drama was? Was there a huge fight that Stren started? I read his posts and they don’t hit me in a negative way. I guess unrealistic, unresearched, not well thought out posts is what get me.
Oh yeah and the ones where people CONTINUOUSLY play the picked on victim….those ones irk me as well!

BTW- I was there on my 19th Bday. It was AIT and we had a Platoon Sgt. No Drill Sgt. Was very laid back, almost a college atmosphere. Anyhoo, the older guys took me off base to "Dee Fords" not sure if still there but it was a strip joint and i had the time of my life.

Right. If anyone should be banned it's you!

Bro WTF are you talking about? Single you out? I'm talking to the creator of this thread and really anyone else trying to use this as a platform to remove a mod.
If you feel singled out it wasn't my intention. It was those words that you wrote that I felt were trivial and something you could ignore. But don't think I'm singling you out. I'm talking about this whole thread.

And please remind me of who you are in real life? Because forgive me, I don't recognize you by your screen name.

Oh SHIT! Man... We actually are friends. He's a great human. I've been to his home many times. Shit, we've made music together.

@SharpeScooterShooter I didn't know it was you... Well bro, please don't be mad. I just think this is the wrong way to remove a mod.

You know me, I'm always straightforward about my stances on things. A lot of this post really just sounds like whining and I don't believe in "mob rule" in general.

So, please don't feel singled out and frankly, had the name said Orion Bailey, knowing that it was you, I know I would've chose different words.
