Interesting. Well regardless, lost in all the fervor of the looters being pieces of shit, there's zero discussion here about the peaceful protestors gassed Monday night - without warning - on Trump's orders so he could have a photo op as he fumbled a Bible in front of a church... all because people made fun of him the day before, hiding in a bunker and turning the porch lights off because people had mean signs about him outside.

Just wondering why that was deleted. I didn't attack anybody. 

politics are not allowed on this board.  we tried to relax that and it went to shit so it will be enforced once again.  any further political or other topics deemed off limits for the main board will have the threads moved to the ST board and repeated attempts to start new threads will have posters rights revoked.

The moderation team is in agreement that this is a football board first and foremost and will not allow angry discourse to make any poster feel unwelcome,  especially if that discourse stems from non football related topics.

And we dont delete threads.  We remove posters from threads, and we move threads when necessary,  but to my knowledge no threads started by actual posters here have been deleted.  I do clean up the board when spammers hit us and flood the page with junk,  but never that I recall have we deleted any thread started by an active poster.

Well, I have no way of seeing if they were just moved since you've banned me from anything besides the main forum.

Also, that's rich that you're not allowing politics but allowing the George Floyd main thread started by BigTDs. As if race and politics aren't absolutely hand in hand here. So your own speech is allowed, but once people disagree with you, you just swoop in and ban posters.

you lost your rights to use that thread and to use that board.   you have been given multiple chances and have abused those chances repeatedly.   I have tried to allow the virus and the Floyd thread to stay on the main board and have asked people from all angles to keep on point and not let them get off topic,  but its very apparent that it was a mistake.   The moderation team has been discussing action and how to handle those issues going forward.

if you cant use this forum as it is intended,  then your time on this board has run its course.  There are plenty that disagree and still maintain civility and know when to walk away and their enjoyment of this site wont be compromised for anyone.  we have had these conversations repeatedly and this is the last time.  Its up to you if you stay here or not,  if you choose not to please respect the other users and just walk away quietly,  but the choice is yours.

Oh I ran my course on this board a long time ago. I couldn't give a shit anymore, this little online community is not a place I belong to clearly. I just like pointing out your hypocrisy specifically. You let A1Janitor (in that COVID thread) repeatedly post QAnon conspiracies, false information about hydroxychloroquine, and more - and that was fine. But I called that bullshit (along with being legitimately dangerous) and I was removed.

So yeah, again this is just a little distraction during my workday every couple weeks, but your inconsistency and bias is so glaringly obvious to the rest of us not living in your MAGA reality you've created.

I've said numerous times, just ban me altogether. I don't care.

The George Floyd thread has been more good content than bad, IMO.

reminds me of the meme

We can all use a reminder that being wrong isn't a crime and we aren't the internet police.  It is so easy to just laugh and walk away.

Yeah it's the internet, it doesn't matter. But like I said, just pointing it out.

So go ahead and feel free to move/delete this thread. Couldn't care less.

ive said it many times... its not what you (and some others say) its how you say it.    I dont honestly care about all the conspiracy shit from either side,  although there is good information in a lot of it and I do enjoy looking into it from other sources to decide for myself.

and you have never been removed for saying bullshit,  its the rest of the way you choose to phrase your rebuttals that have led to the actions taken.

either way,  the choice is yours.

KB— I don’t think there is any question that some mods on this board are Trump apologists.  That has been made blatantly clear.  The equivocations, false equivalences and outright conspiracy bullshit that have used needs to be addressed.  I am asking Mike to look at this as it is driving people away from this board.  A1 is allowed to post whatever he likes, including long debunked Qnon conspiracies but some mods get all butt hurt over “how you say something.”  It would be refreshing to hear a mod stand up and just admit the bias rather than hide behind self-righteous rhetoric.

i want to add something to my post.  I want to acknowledge the tough job they have. When the mods I called out talk football I truly appreciate it. They are knowledgeable and I love reading their comments. While the thrust of what I said still stands, I apologize to them for the harsh tone I used.  I could have been much more judicious in “ how I said something.”

Well, some of the responses I feel are absolutely warranted, but I do understand the need for moderation. So we're at an impasse there. Not saying you need to allow posters to attack each other viciously (it is, after all, your message board), but at the same time the only defense for the lunacy that certain posters spew can only be met with the utmost contempt... in my opinion.

I've said my piece.

so for some the mods are to heavy handed and should let things sort themselves out,   but you think we should censor what information is exchanged (in a civil manner) on our boards?   is that what you are asking for from the mods,  to tell posters that they cant post stuff that isnt against board rules because you dont agree with it or it doesnt come from a source you trust?  or is it because your preferred source says its wrong?   so then does that give others the right to say you cant post your truths as you view them?  come on man.  if you present something in a civil manner and want to defend it in a civil manner,  I am not going to tell you or anybody else they cant do that.  Whether I agree with it or not.

for the record,  A1 hasnt posted on this site in 6 weeks... and if you ask him I wasnt fair to his POV either.   All i ask for is civil exchange in an adult manner,  and if Mike thinks I am driving people away and not working in the best interest of the board, then he will let me know,  but its fair that you asked,  no hard feelings.

Speaking for myself here, it seems whenever myself or others speak out on topics that go against the grain of the MAGA theme the majority of this board stands by, we're removed from threads and you're VERY quick to cite "keep politics out of it" or "there's no reason to attack other posters." Meanwhile, I'll watch the Trump crowd refrain from the potty-mouth (I admittedly weave in) and be allowed to spew their political views wherever they see fit. It's been going on for years.

Look, I've said repeatedly I'm a problem poster here. Lots of the time it's intentional because I'm just bored and feel like, "Well, fuck it. I'm gonna be removed anyway, who really cares." It is, after all, just a message board. None of this shit matters, it's a distraction from my workday.

But please don't pretend that you leave certain topics up under the guise of sharing knowledge or as an exchange of ideas. It's an echo-chamber where people come to have their opinions further entrenched. I'm guilty of it, but I truly believe not nearly as guilty as some other posters - and yes, I'm looking at you too here.
