Keep On Postin' ...
 

Nevadaref: Please stick around. I don't recall any of your posts, in my opinion, as being offensive, or impolite. But, then again, I'm not a moderator, nor do I play one on television.

Note: If you leave, who will head our archive department?

I don't think mods should be talking about bans, and they certainly shouldn't be changing the terms of a suspension without informing the poster. This is disappointing. Nevadaref I hope you stay but I understand your frustration.

I didn't know you were even suspended....and I don't think I ever seen anything from you that should have got you suspended.

Well this doesn't look like it's going to end well at all. On Nevada's behalf, I can think of 4 or 5 others that post that seem more offensive and personal. I know this board belongs to the owners who can do whatever they wish, but sheesh...Time-outs & temporary bans? It's not like he's posting porn.

Have you stayed at a Holiday Inn Select recently? That might work

Interesting.

I will be quite honest and admit that Nevada and I have had quite a few disagreements on this forum...but I really can't remember the last time he slammed someone on a personal level. On the other hand, there are several of the new mods who do it fairly frequently. So who is moderating the moderators?

Well you have a right to your opinion, but let not act like he has never went after someone personally that he did not agree with. He has and usually is self-righteous about it.

And I have been penalized for conflicts with him directly, but let us not act like no one has ever felt his comments were over the top. I cannot speak on this specific manner but people have seen it happen. And when the mods tell you something if you want to stay then you better listen or suffer the consequences. This place is pretty simple, you cannot say what you want and when you want. First Amendment has nothing to do with this situation and just like anything we do in officiating, it is up to us personally to decide what goes over the top and the same goes for the mods.

Peace

Nevada was the one who brought it up in public.

Would it be too much to as that the posts not relevant to the original post in this thread be moved to a new thread regarding Nevadaref's timeout??

No matter what we do here, it's going to be criticized. I could delete the off topic stuff, but that would be interpreted a certain way, I'm sure.

I'm going to close the thread. If there's more to say on the original topic, feel free to open a new thread.

And Adam's right. When Nevada said he was "unjustly banned for a few days by an over-zealous mod" he opened the door for me to describe the nature of the suspension (and, gang, we have tools to trace traffic to the board - don't pee on my head and tell me it's raining).

I would've never said anything about it otherwise and, quite frankly, had forgotten all about it.

In before the lock. :D

I will say this much, as one guilty of channeling my inner JR, we have called each other out. I have issued a couple of apologies and deleted my own comments. We're all human, after all. Often times, the consequences arise from the response to being called out (this is not any info about any specific action we've taken.)
