Either there's a trick I don't know or the whole process for banning people is just ridiculously convoluted. I wish you could just click on someone's name and ban them already.

 

the safest way is to use the "mod" button at the bottom of the page and use the stand alone mod interface. If you just leave that running in the background during games it's a lot easier. Off season there isn't enough of a problem to bother keeping it open.

Brandon, Hurl, North and a black guy?

The what now?

 

in the bar at the very bottom of every page you can choose the "mod" button that brings up a separate interface.

so you're saying I'm not black?

 

I thought you were Swedish. Everyone knows there are no black people in Sweden.

The on the job training for this gig was just horrendous.

 

we sent you this video...it's not our fault if you didn't watch it.

ok, what part of that isn't racist?

 

I'm Canadian

there are lots of black people in Sweden

I'm just not one of them.... I was just curious to how come I couldn't be the black guy

There are at least two lies in this post.

Johnny Oduya?

 

for the record the Swedish African-born population has grown from 4,149 in 1970 to 10,025 in 1980, 27,343 in 1990, 55,138 in 2000 and 103,077 in 2009

I'm as white school glue

 

There are lots of black people in Sweden. They have taken in a lot of people who have come in as refugees from Africa. You'd be surprised how much the blond hair blue eyed stereotype has changed here in the last 30 years.

 

 

so the only lie is that I was curious. everyone knows I'm a pasty white dude. I've said so lots of times before.

Let's not forget chef Marcus Samuelsson.

 

(Also, this mod interface thing is a real game changer).

 

I'd just like to know how you've been doing things before if you didn't know about the modcp. lol

This guy is bringing his penny pinching ways from Cleveland to Toronto. I can't think of a more underwhelming off-season. Shapiro has literally added 20 million in payroll without adding anyone of impact. Nice.

 

I'd rather the FO penny pinch than be all-in with no wiggle room in case something catastrophic happens.

it's also only December. they might be saving some money to pick up another pitcher.

You can ban people when you delete their posts and then if you don't actually want the post banned, you can undelete it and the person stays banned. Default is perm-ban though which I didn't realize at first. You have to change that in the drop down menu. Whole thing was just a time consuming chore.

I guess we were just spoiled by AA. Shapiro should have stuck to stadium renovations and ticket pricing.

 

AA spoiled you the last 3 months of his 6 year tenure. Great job.

you can copy and paste in the modcp and pick how long to ban them. you can just delete an offensive post after you copy the posters name, so it doesn't get replied to 50 times and then ban.

Yup. We already have plenty of impact players, they all just happen to be positional players with the exception of Stroman. The FO has done a nice job of rounding out the rotation with solid arms that will give this team an opportunity to win most nights given our lineup and solid D. They managed to do this without signing any outlandish contracts that could be devistating long term. Mission accomplished thus far I would say.

Wasn't your screen pic on the old forum a selfie?

 

That dude wasn't black = you not being black.

At this point I only see a couple mid tier RP signings on tye horizon and maybe a backup catcher if Thole isn't ultimately brought back. Trades are still possible but I think Shiparo wants to hold onto whatever younger assets we still have and focus on the transitional stage moving forward. Some smart money management and he could keep this team competitive for a while Imo.

Yeah. You can see them walking the tightrope this offseason. Doing everything they can to field a winner in 2015 while also stopping the bleeding of youth from the system and avoiding risky long-term deals. I think they've done a nice job. Not even remotely sexy, but they've effectively re-build the rotation on the cheap.
