lol, no, but I don't think anyone who will whine about clearly violating a posted rule is mature enough to be posting on a politics forum.

That's the reason I don't envy your position on that forum. I was on Yappi trying to participate on their political forum and the rabble had the same view of mods there. If you modded them, you were biased and if you didn't mod the other side, you also were biased. They'd put up a right-wing mod and a left-wing mod and people would still make stupid bitch-sessions about the job being done. And they'd stoop to NCF levels of raising shit. One conservative person there would constantly make those blanket "you libs are dumb" comments and cry like a bitch whenever anyone slapped back because he was just "stirring the pot" and they were "trolling" or "making it personal". I'd never want to deal with moderating people like that.

Final warning. Next time it's a forum ban

Why was my post deleted but yet all the others saying they reamed me and calling me names are still there??
Report them as name calling, I didn't notice any until your profanity rant
My profanity rant?? I used one cus word??

The power is really starting to go to your head dude
YOU CALLED SOMEONE GAY AND AN ASSHOLE!!!

That would get you warned on the general forum, the college football forum, EVERY forum on here.
Thanks for proving my my point..

Since they are your buddies,I guess you're going to look the other way until someone fights back againist them. Thanks for showing me how things are going to operate on the Poli forum
They are my buddies? I don't like either of their political views. Manhattan attacked the source and never called you by a name, and I didn't see any name calling until your post. Like I said, report it and I will take care of it, instead of violating the rules and arguing with me.
Whatever dude....

I see how things are going to go. I'm done wasting my time.
You're wrong. That's all I can tell you. You CLEARLY violated the rules and now you want to argue about it. Post in the Poli forum, don't post in the poli forum, I really don't care. I don't care if the only person in there is Unique posting articles, as long as they follow the rules. I had been letting EVERYONE toe the line, but you CLEARLY crossed it by calling someone "gay" and an "asshole". Just to appease you, I went and deleted and edited anything that was close to breaking a rule in that thread.

What makes your whole argument even more hilarious, is that I probably agree MORE with your whole argument in that thread than anyone elses. Ever notice that I don't post any opinion in there? It's because I am being UNBIASED in my moderation. I am laughing at all the allegations that I moderate based on my political views, when someone from BOTH sides of an argument will PM me accusing me of that. Absolutely hilarious.
OK..now I know.

It's ok for certain people to break the rules

Thanks.

Dont respond to this..I'm not going to waste time replying
I will respond to this, because your BLIND and FALSE accusations are really pissing me off. It is not ok for ANYONE to break the rules. I don't know where you are coming up with this bullshit you are spewing.

Don't break the rules then whine like you were wronged.

Should I just forum ban him?

His post is still in the unapproved section of the Mod CP if anyone wants to look at it

Elliot is another Mike Clark name. I remember him starting a Gen Forum thread under that name conceding defeat again. If he's being a dick for no reason, do what you must.

Justin gave me SUPERmod rights, so I can deal with any board. I'm not a political person, so I won't have any real bias. If you want any help, I'll provide it. I won't step on you toes and I don't want any real supervision of that forum, but I'll offer a second voice if you need it.

Just a browse every so often would be a help. I'm not on 24/7 lol. I may PM you every so often to warn someone for me so that I don't get crap like that. On my IP search Elliot shows up as him and George Costanza.

I really can't stand Mike's bitching as Elliot. Next time I am just going to call him out on being Mike Clark and for having the screen name George Costanza as well.

He just sent me a pm saying that you are deleting his posts.......says he isn't breaking any rules.

I personally have had about enough of his immaturity on this board.

You can either abide by them, or get banned. It doesn't matter to me what you choose.
[/quote]

Ooooo.. I'm scared
[/quote]

I'm not sure why you think I care what you choose to do? The only reason I took this mod job was so that this site even got a Politics forum and Justin didn't want it to end up with all the name calling that the other site had. I don't need a forum to make myself feel like, as you call it, a "bigshot".
[/quote]


Fine,then I want the Obama/Holder thread deleted.
[/quote]

No, it's not breaking any rules. Just because you don't like someone's opinion doesn't mean you can censor them. If it was a personal attack on another poster, or opinions presented as facts, or just full or name calling, sure, but there is nothing wrong with it.
[/quote]

1. All topics must be approved by Moderator
2. If you want to start a topic relating to an article, you MUST include your opinion in the first post
3. You must be civil. Name calling will not be tolerated.
4. Abruptly blaming Bush/Obama/Charlie Sheen etc. in a topic will get your post deleted. You have been warned.
5. If you make a claim to a study, statistics, reports, etc, you MUST post a link to it.
6. Please include links on news items


It's breaking that rule.

I want it deleted
[/quote]

No it's not. You don't understand that rule. If you made a post stating that such and such factory is closing, and then someone posted "It's Bush's fault" that would be breaking the rules. They presented an argument, the thread stands. Do I like it? No. Am I going to censor people's political opinions? No.
[/quote]

Thanks for proving my point again.
[/quote]

You're terrible at this. Make a thread bashing Bush based off of an article or such. It will stand. Try me.
[/quote]

Post by Cleveland Buck,speaking about President Obama and democrats:


Any health care bill these idiot scumbags could come up with is bad news.
[/quote]

I've never done anything about calling politicians names. Only other members
[/quote]

Ok fine
[/quote]

I edited the post before yours at 9:26 and took out "lord" before Obama. I am going to have to take out the scumbag before Bush. You didn't get my revision PM before you posted.
[/quote]

No...you said you don't care about about name calling for politicians.

You take it out...I'll put it right back in
[/quote]

Let's see... You are already a banned member posting under another screen name, you have ANOTHER screen name showing up under your IP with George Costanza. You can just get banned again if you want.
[/quote]

1.That's my brother
2.I'm not breaking any rules...therefor you cannot ban me
[/quote]

You are no longer welcome in the Politics forum.
[/quote]

You can't ban me....I didn't break a rule

Long story short. I told him that he can't call a President by a name, and he kept re-editing his post to put "scumbag" back in before Bush

He told me that he is gonna take it up with Justin. If you go to his profile, it keeps updating the time that he is viewing Justin's profile.

For some reason I really doubt Justin will overtun the ban lol

First PM:
Elliot Stabler wrote: I didn't break any rules..

And LJ blocked me from the Politics forum
Second PM, 7 minutes later plus my response:
Elliot Stabler wrote: Are you going to do anything??
Are you going to realize you aren't a priority and give me more than 7 minutes to respond to you before bugging me again?

I'll look in to it.
