GoChiefs has reported a post.

Reason:
But...but...but...traffic is down and there is only 5 new posts a week! Its C4F's fault, not our constant complaining about him on every fucking thread thats keeping everyone away!!!
Post: Kate Upton Topless GIF
Forum: Serious Business
Assigned Moderators: N/A

Posted by: justincredible
Original Content:
The majority doesn't complain about F4F. A small group of you do. And it's driving me to point of just shutting the site down because it is annoying as fuck. Jesus christ.

I would hope shutting down the site over roughly 6 people is speaking in hyperbole.

I just find it funny that a thread featuring links to topless Kate Upton, they'd rather complain about F4F.

Now that's having your priorities in order! Nearly naked hottie or bitch about mod? WHO NEEDS HOT CHICKS??? FUCK CRY4FAIL!!!!

Then again, considering how some of the seem ambigously gay for each other, I probably shouldn't be surprised.

Justin I think you should just ban them and move on. This shit is getting old. They are a bunch of fucking babies who are trying to compensate for something in their lives by acting like hardasses on here. Just ban them and let them go get banned somewhere else

And I understand the general hesitancy to ban around here, but when it comes to these assholes I don't get it.

When it comes to a vocal minority ruining the place, I think it's an exception to the rule.

I am definitely getting close to getting rid of them. Unfortunately I think it would cause other folks, and not necessarily anyone that ever causes any problems, to leave as well.

I started a poll to see what the community views as worse, Fly's moderation or their incessant whining about it.

By the way, don't vote on the poll.

At the very least they should never be allowed out of the basement (and no good behavior provisions, as they have been like this and ignoring any other discipline for 3 years)

That way they can spew their shit, the few innocent posters who get a kick out of it can still be entertained, and everyone else can avoid it and not have their shit ruin every non basement thread

lol, they're down 8-2 in the voting and already whining because you didn't phrase the poll question "properly".

This is the sort of shit where I can't actually believe I'm typing this and it's completely true with no embellishment on my part.

I honestly don't enjoy this place anymore. I keep trying to, but unfortunately we have such a core group of bad posters they just make the place unenjoyable

I think this is a sentiment that's repeated by numerous people. I went through this phase and stopped posting for a period of time because of CoA, Like_That, and that small group. Eventually I started posting again and just either ignoring those clowns or treating them like they joke they are. But they definitely don't make this place enjoyable in my opinion. They're always trying to be negative. When they have an issue with someone they manage to bring it to every thread.

When normal people don't like a poster or have an issue with a poster they either just let it go, or argue about it in relevant threads, but they don't bring it up in every single thread. I think that's the main difference. LJ and I have certainly had our differences in the past, but you don't see us constantly going at each other all the time. We realize that we disagree with each other, but we still know that it would be childish and unproductive to constantly troll each other.

Those guys when they have an issue with someone don't let up... they just keep digging and picking at the issue until we (mods) finally do something about it. And if nothing is done, they will go at it forever. For example, even just yesterday they managed to bring up jordo in a thread that he hadn't posted on, he hadn't posted here in a long time, but they still managed to bring up his name, call him turdo and laugh about him and just generally slam him. I'm not saying that jordo never posted stuff that could be qualified as trolling. The point is that they don't stop... ever. They don't know how to let go of things.

What will that help? They will read it, disagree with it, and spin it to fit their mindset. That, or they will see fly posted it, therefore not read it, and just slam him.

True. I gave an abbreviated similar response. And then SNL whines about nazi-like heavy moderation. WTF, man?

It really doesn't matter what I say. They will jump on me for anything. I even said to hasbeen "enjoy the nice weather" and then sportandlady started jumping on me that I was being stupid for assuming he lives in ohio. I pointed out his location says OHio. Then sportandlady said he could be lying or on vacation. Then I point out it would be ridiculous to assume someone is lying or going to go play softball while on vacation despite the apparent horrible weather.

That's just an example of how something so simple as me saying a friendly nothing is an opportunity for them to try to jump on me.

CoA is either a horrible liar, or is delusional

I would much rather have Hoops & DW still around. They brought the fun to this site. With F4F lurking around every corner (and from wehat I've been told stared an entire thread QQing in the mod forum about me trying to get me bant) trying to throw his e-weight around. He clearly has an agenda and ruins the site for me. Even if he wasn't a mod, he would still totally suick ass, but least then we could have some fun with him and not worry about him removing my posts all the time (which he does at least a few times a week if I disagree with him). He's a rogue mod and should be delt with. My .02 cents

Oh, and Hoops was never really a good poster. To them, a good poster is someone who "pwns" people and shares their opinions on the browns threads

Now they're telling Wes he was the best mod because he just handed them the keys on Browns threads

It's nice to read that thread and see what normal reasonable posters say. I don't mind that they think I might make a mistake or they disagree with me from time to time such as MB said. I've never claimed to be perfect. But I find it amusing that a lot of different people are pointing out that the problem probably isn't me, but the fact that they always seem to be the only people breaking the rules repeatedly and their behavior wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else.

Biggest LOL of the day so far. LJ would definitely differ on this count, I think.

And now Sleeper's started a basement thread to complain about the poll. Guess having your side losing 19-8 (or 21-8 if you count the "can't be counted" mod votes) brings out the best in people!

Since, obviously, the issue is how the poll was phrased, which is the only thing keeping them from having this one about 153-2, give or take a vote here or there.

I don't think I've seen Boatshoes or Con_Alma post in the basement before, this could get interesting.

So, LT and/or CoA are saying that unnamed (of course) mods are telling them you go out of your way to infract them. Are they basically talking about former mod Wildcats, since he's the guy who blew up and quit because he didn't want them modded? Or just making up shit?
