The Last Damn NFL Thread (Until the Next One, Of Course)
http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Does-Seahawks-win-mean-49ers-are-second-best-5201416.php So...we all know that was about as big an ass-kick as you'll ever see in the Super Bowl (tied for the 3rd biggest blowout with the 52-17 beat down the '92 Cowboys gave the Bills.) They're talking (OH GOD NO!) *DYNASTY* in Seattle...buy it? Buy the 49ers as the #2 team? (Thanks, Richard Sherman.) :p What about Cam's Panthers? Is the AFC toast? What's your takeaway?

What I find most perverse and utterly ridiculous in this thread is that a constructive conversation took place about forum moderation, a very important issue. You think I'm trolling here, but I'm not; I'm angry, and I hope you hear me out. From the look of the OP and the first page of discussion, who would like to hazard a guess at how many people simply ignored this thread or muted it, as abgemacht has suggested? How many people have muted jamiet, and as a result have not seen this thread? How many people never opened this thread because the OP was completely fucking dumb and pointless?

Now, ask yourself this: What on fucking earth possessed you to think this was the correct place to discuss an issue that clearly deserves the ability for everyone to read and give their own feedback? I'm not saying you should not have discussed this issue, but when you realised that this discussion was quite obviously needed, a new thread should have been created by a moderator so people could actually fucking see it and provide their feedback, as opposed to it only being seen by people interested in discussing krellin, which is quite fucking clearly going to lead to a biased interpretation of what people in general think on this forum.

Please, abgemacht, take your own advice and don't hijack another person's thread, no matter how useless their's is and how important yours is, because then your important topic will be dismissed by many users as a totally useless thread.

Now I begin to wonder how many of these important forum policy discussions I've missed by not looking in every single retarded thread on this forum. Do you see the problem you have created?

To fielder, oscar, Thucy, et al....thank you all for being the continuous hate-filled clowns that you are, whining and crying about how others behave badly...and then doing exactly the same and spewing your own form of hate with smug self-righteousness. It is because of the hypocrites like you that I am able to continue behaving however I wish without fear of true reprisal. I'm very glad this all occured...because in the end of the "let's all be nicer" charade that just took place, I get the enevitable "fuck of and die" "na na na na you suck" childish hate from the collected danc....trolls....the love to attack me.

Thanks guys...you haven't disappointed. You have 100% reaffirmed by dim view of humanity. You have 100% reaffirmed to me the your outrage is feigned by your continuous need to attack, even when other sue for peace.

Carry on, trolls.

@Shock

I understand where you're coming from, but at the same time, this is kinda just how the Forum works. Conversations are allowed to move in a fluid way. An issue was brought up in this thread and so I addressed it in this thread. I wasn't making an formal announcements; I was having a conversation with members.

Should I be responsible for wrenching out a conversation every time it might be relevant to the whole Forum? Maybe.
krellin (80 DX)
04 Feb 14 UTC
Abge - I think the real issue is a conversation took a fluid turn, and then you decreed - under threat of force - that the conversation must persist on your chosen topic until you released it.

But you are the Mod King, and such is your right, so I really don't care - but I think that would be other's view.

"Oscar hate : 1
Peace and kindly forum : 0"

Hate? But.. but... I just said that it made me sad to see you cry like that. I was showing you compassion, seeing as how sorry I felt for you when all the bad people trolled you so much and made you feel all alone. Why do all the bad people pick on you krellybelly? It's not fair now is it? Such a sweet little cute boy as yourself deserves to be treated just as nicely as he treats others. Don't you agree, krellybelly?

But hey, you know what, if it bothers you you can always mute them. That's the solution. Yes, krellybelly, just go and mute all the bad people that pick on you. You will be so happy when you mute them. And you will have no more reason to complain about the bad people that make you cry if you mute them. They can't make you cry anymore when you mute them. Go ahead. Mute them. It's not a cop-out at all to mute them. No it's not. It's what all the sensible people do.

Okay krellin, I'm done. I was just illustrating how trivially easy, and not clever at all, it is to treat people with such school yard bullying that you have so frequently used yourself. Frankly, although you will probably deny it, I'm a lot better at it than you are, which is what upsets you because I don't go into a frenzy like your usual targets but instead just beat you at your own game.

Anyway, as my point has been made abundantly clear and I'm obviously just upsetting you at this point, I will stop trolling you now. A courtesy I may add that you are not known to show your own trolling victims, even when they explicitly ask you to tone it down.

Please take notice of the fact that I have not been trolling anyone even nearly as brutally as I have trolled you. The reason is that your own trolling behavior made you fair game IMO. Believe me when I say that I am rather tolerant with outrageous posts and even the occasional personal attack. But you were just taking it too far (which is why we have this thread in the first place), so I decided to sink to your level and show you what it feels like to be on the other end of the stick.

I hope you will take the discussion in this thread seriously and tone it down a bit.

You've been used, oscar.

Before I get into the other issue:
"Conversations are allowed to move in a fluid way."
You say this and yet:
" I would ask that you realign properly with the temperament of the thread or leave."
"This thread is about forum moderation policies. Please contribute productively or leave. If you try to play a game of chicken with me, you will lose."
"I am aware of what the OP is. I'm telling you what the current conversation is about. I am interested in what people have to say in regards to forum moderation and I will not have it hijacked by one person."
Hmm, yes very fluid discussion indeed.

Now think, you are forcing a thread to stay on the topic of "what people have to say in regards to forum moderation", which implies this is an official discussion on the matter, as such a strong-armed tactic has only been used on this site during official discussions on the site.

This creates one of two potential problems:
-As I said in my first post, you are now getting limited response on what people think of the forum moderation policy, because this thread is one that is specifically baiting a member of the site many users prefer to avoid. As a result, any change you make will most likely not reflect the wishes of the people who use this site.
-Alternatively, you are not intending to let the biased feedback from this thread influence your decisions, and the entirety of the thread is now even more pointless than before, and you are wasting everyone's time by preventing a change in topic by threatening them. Given your response to my concerns, I believe the problem is the latter, and is perhaps less of a concern of mine.

Give him a break shock. He was just trying to make the best out of the shit fest that is this thread. You go try that. Nothing has come of this thread and I am sure before they actually change anything in regards to the moderation there will be a proper discussion about it with its own thread.
What yardstick do we use to determine which thread is a shitfest and needs to be hijacked by a moderator?
dD_ShockTrooper (1199 D)

Because if moderators preventing the change of the course of discussion with threats of silencing in any thread is occurring, there has already been a change in moderation policy with out the consultation of anyone on this site.
oscarjd74 (100 D)

We use abge's yardstick, since he is the moderator. Do you think you would be a better moderator than him?

Or do they have an innate sense of what actions they’d prefer to do or have done, and choose the political and economic philosophies that say these actions are the steps that need to be taken to solve society’s problems?
