Followthelight Verified Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Spanky absolutely despises the negative Nancy type...even when the negative Nancy happens to be right from time to time. That spells a lot of premature hammers. There is no rule about being negative, people vent in different ways..... I never understood why he seems so upset when someone vents? Like get a grip. People are allowed to vent frustration or criticize and be negative. People are all different. Obviously some people go over board andthose should be dealt with, but those are the minority. Do we want everyone to be a robot and the same and act the same?Life is not like that, learn some tolerance.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Just need a mod that allows people to express their opinions and not get attacked by the "Click" group of posters that come into every thread and whine about trolls, and think they run the board. Obvious trolls should be dealt with fast though obviously. Seems a certain group of poster get too much leeway here and attack anyone who doesn't conform to their hive mind. You're saying some posters get too much leeway? lol -- It's a forgone conclusion North is going to be a mod, right?

Constant negativity and trolling is not what I am talking about, that is different then some venting and being critical. Do we really want to get rid of critical thought? Oh man what I'd give to give you a nice swift banning. I never did anything wrong.... LAck of tolerance for others opinions.

Followthelight Verified Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Obvious troll is a troll ?? Nothing I said was trolling.....
BigBounceyBlueBalls Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I really would love the honour of serving this board and its members to make this a better place for all to come and talk about our Jays !!! I will hope to serve you BBBB " The Ban Hammer " Thank you! I may not seem to be the choice, but I am the best choice for right now!!! Mod me up!!!

Do we really want to get rid of critical thought? and the mods can check post content to see patterns. let the mods take care of it and learn to use the ignore feature. not responding to trolls is something else that would help a lot. many times other people have trolls on ignore but still have to read their comments because so many put an effort into responding to trolls which just makes everything worse
Belliss101 Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 ?? Nothing I said was trolling..... You're GDT posts are almost 100%..."Oh we are headed for a tailspin now" after something as simple as a base hit. Also, I don't care to hear, "game over" after the Jays go down at any point during the game.

If people PM'd mods and ignored they would not get the attention they want.

Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 we do have a venting thread. constant negativity is not conducive to a tolerable community. the same time you call for tolerance in the GDT you need to understand that a lot of people want to simply cheer for the jays and enjoy the games together with others who also want to talk baseball and enjoy the game. this guy sucks fire that guy DFA that guy ban mods gibbons is an idiot these things can be left for some place other than the GDT The constant whining for mods and banning people has become so unbearable to read. I do think the occasional posts about Gibby being an idiot and should be fired is understandable in the GDT, just not 15 straight posts saying the same thing.
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Well it looks like i leave the board and everything goes to hell. Not saying, just saying.
Belliss101 Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 No they are not.....selective memory. I often just talk baseball or joke around. Well your jokes probably sometimes come off as trollish. Tone it down a notch maybe?
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I like the Deadpool suggestion. He's on here a lot. He's "cleaned up" his act since leaving the old board.

I do think the occasional posts about Gibby being an idiot and should be fired is understandable in the GDT, just not 15 straight posts saying the same thing. Agree, and often it is for people who don't even deserver banning and are not even trolling, they just don;t agree with their opinion...It's silly. Comes down to a lack of tolerance. Saying somehing like "Tulo has struggled lately" should not lead to me being called a troll and spouting his lifetime stats......a guy can be a Hall of famer and struggle for a period of time. That happened to me. Or "The Jays have not hit well with runners on lately", How the frig is that trolling? Nothing wrong with that. It's always the same posters too.
Belliss101 Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Well it looks like i leave the board and everything goes to hell. Not saying, just saying. Where the hell have you been???? Your absence cost the Jays 2 losses.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Deadpool pls also Orgfiller says he might be interested so him too
_King Verified Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Jaysfan2014 is a knowledgeable level headed poster who would be a good man for the job.
Followthelight Verified Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I think Big Cecil would be a good mod. Dead pool too.
havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Deadpool and KingKat seem like logical choices if they wish to take on those duties.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I would also include Deadpool and Abomination as nominees.
Belliss101 Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Jaysfan2014 is a knowledgeable level headed poster who would be a good man for the job. I also nominate him for tomorrow's GDT. He's got a pretty good record.
vdubmvp Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Jaysfan2014 is a knowledgeable level headed poster who would be a good man for the job. I like you but you need to shut up.
LTR Verified Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 The guy who suggested Atothe is funny. Horrible suggestion. Mods need to be level-headed Mods need to serve justice swiftly and fairly Mods need to be active posters Mods need to not be idiots North Dylan KingKat Orgfiller jays4life19 Abomination BigCecil
