Who is notified when someone clicks the "report post to moderator' thing and sends a message off?

[ReDIRKulous]

I have sent a few of these off... the most recent was when someone called someone else a moron in their post... the post is still there.. it was never edited.

Where do these messages go?

Not all posts are edited - only those we deem inappropriate and offensive. It's not our fault if some members have thinner skins than others.

Also, the Report to Mod function is constantly being abused, with some of the most ridiculous and silly complaints..so if that continues I'll probably disable it. If you have a problem with a post or member, pm a mod. That would be the quickest way to get it taken care of.

[ReDIRKulous]

I just hear all kinds of conflicting rules... LRB said that name-calling was an automatic reprimand... yet some people get away with this kind of behavior. In the post I relayed someone called someone else a moron and the post is still there. I had one of my post edited and was given a warning one time when I said KG was acting like a baby.

KG just recently edited my post because in his opinion I was "implying" that another member was racist... when I said nothing remotely like that. It just seems like there is a one-way policy here... if you are a regular you can get away with all kinds of abusive behavior... yet if you are new you have almost no rights... you can't even defend yourself. At least that has been my expoerience.

IMO KG is specifically to blame for this type of behavior. He allows his friends or "regulars" to be incredibly abusive and will never edit their posts... yet if I respond I am edited or given a warning...or if I do something he deems even remotely abusive... even if it isn't.

I am not thin skinned... but it should at least be consistent. It should at least be a two-way street.

There's no way you can have rules set in stone. If users were given strikes every time they used the word "idiot" or "moron" then half the site would be banned. Everything is examined on a case-by-case basis. Also, you can't blame kg because he consults with the other mods before taking action. Whatever the case, the mods aren't here to babysit, so if they think some complaints are just plain dumb, they'll simply ignore them.

[ReDIRKulous]

That is precisley my point though. It isn't even-handed. If one of the parties involved is someone that KG knows and is a regular he allows them to get away with all kinds of stuff. Yet if a new person says something... they are edited and reprimanded.


There is a tremendous amount of favoritism.


I guess I have made my point. You are the owner of the site... I am sure you are aware of what goes on here. Now I know where you stand. I guess my only choice is to deal with it or leave. That is fair enough I guess.

You asked me this same exact question by PM, and I responded 20 minutes before you made this post. I guess you didn't believe me.

I just hear all kinds of conflicting rules... LRB said that name-calling was an automatic reprimand... yet so me people get away with this kind of behavior. In the post I relayed someone called someone else a moron and the post is still there. I had one of my post edited and was given a warning one time when I said KG was acting like a baby.

I have edited your posts, but I've never said that you were "acting like a baby".

KG just recently edited my post because in his opinion I was "implying" that another member was racist... when I said nothing remotely like that.

ReDirk, you seem to read whatever you want. I told you that I edited your posts and MavsKiki's posts because the two of you were going at it. Your post started it off and was clearly meant to provoke Kiki to respond. Unfortunately, he did. That's why you both got equal treatment.

It just seems like there is a one-way policy here... if you are a regular you can get away with all kinds of abusive behavior... yet if you are new you have almost no rights... you can't even defend yourself. At least that has been my expoerience.

It's my experience that you're a troublemaker who doesn't listen. If you want to change that perception, then stop whining. You're treated more than fairly here.

IMO KG is specifically to blame for this type of behavior. He allows his friends or "regulars" to be incredibly abusive and will never edit their posts... yet if I respond I am edited or given a warning...or if I do something he deems even remotely abusive... even if it isn't.

MavsKiki is a "regular"; I edited his post right along with yours. I've edited the posts of and levied punishments to many regulars as well as new people.

You've posted here over 1700 times, and I've only edited a few of your posts. Your suggestion that I'm picking on you is humorous.

What's even more humorous is your suggestion that I'm somehow responsible for favoritism and special treatment on this site. There are currently 7 active moderators; I guess the other 6 are out to get you, too.

Or, perhaps you're just a troublemaker.

[ReDIRKulous]

KG... you are one of the most "troll" like moderators I have ever seen on any messageboard. And you are incredibly biased in your dealings with posters here.

You will let regulars get away with incredibly abusive posts... but if I or other new posters respond to these regulars/trolls in the same way you will then edit my/ or other new members posts. OR in this most recent case... because a regular whined to you claiming that my post was abusive then you edited both of our posts. Yet If I "whine" about a regualr saying something offensive to me... or starting a fight I get no response... you won't edit their post. Why is that?

As a moderator you set a horrible example for posters on this site. You are totally biased and your bahavior is abusive and childish and you abuse what little power you have here.

I just wanted to make sure that my messages were getting through to someone other than you on here and while DJ was here I wanted to let him know what I thought of how you are doing as a moderator.



You claim I am a troublemaker... how am I a trouble maker? I criticized Finely for a very short period of time when he choked... I was treated like a troll for this... by you as a matter of fact... the other thing I do is defend Don Nelson... imagine that... defending Don nelson on a Mavs fan messageboard. Oh yea... I also defended the team when everyone said Nellie should be fired... not long before we had our recent winning streak.

Other than that how am I a trouble maker?


BTW... where is Erica Lubarsky... havn't seen her around lately... was she a trouble maker? I heard she was run out of here. Was that because she was a trouble maker?

[MavsFanFinley]

I've exchanged a couple pm's with her and it's my understanding that she'll take a week or so off before returning. She wasn't banned, or ran off even though one poster wishes it.

Not everyone is going to be happy with our decisions, but I've yet to see one mod go off on their own and warn or ban another poster without discussing it with others. Unless it was an obvious troll like "raindog." Editing posts is a judgment call and I've yet to see it abused.

[kg_veteran]

KG... you are one of the most "troll" like moderators I have ever seen on any messageboard. And you are incredibly biased in your dealings with posters here.

You don't even understand what the term "troll" means. If you did, you'd realize how silly your attempted insult sounds.

You will let regulars get away with incredibly abusive posts...

While this is an incredibly vague accusation, you seem to have trouble grasping the concept that I'm not the only moderator on this board. If "regulars" are getting away with "incredibly abusive posts" (something I don't agree is happening), then all seven active moderators are allowing it to happen.

but if I or other new posters respond to these regulars/trolls in the same way you will then edit my/ or other new members posts.

That's simply untrue.

OR in this most recent case... because a regular whined to you claiming that my post was abusive then you edited both of our posts.

Again, untrue. MavsKiki and I have not even talked about those edited posts yesterday, and he never complained to me about you.

Yet If I "whine" about a regualr saying something offensive to me... or starting a fight I get no response... you won't edit their post. Why is that?

You have not ONCE complained to me about anyone saying something offensive to you, so you really have no basis to speculate as to how I might respond.

As a moderator you set a horrible example for posters on this site. You are totally biased and your bahavior is abusive and childish and you abuse what little power you have here.

My "bias" is a product of your active imagination. If I were being abusive and childish, I feel confident that DJ would let me know about it. So far, that hasn't happened.

Also, it's difficult to abuse power when your rarely even have to utilize it.

I just wanted to make sure that my messages were getting through to someone other than you on here and while DJ was here I wanted to let him know what I thought of how you are doing as a moderator.

Thanks for the performance evaluation. Maybe you'll keep me from getting that big raise.

[MavsFanFinley]

KG's a troll...troll smasher that is.

[LRB]

ReDirk give it a rest. If you're so upset about the way this board is run, you are free not to come here. I see no factual basis for your complaints about KG. He, like the rest of us mods and DJ, tries to do the very best. None of us are perfect, but then again only a fool would expect us to be. You need to chill over this issue.

I can think of a good use for the word moron in this thread......

Erica Lubinsky had several implied insults about her gender in several different posts that she decided to leave the message board (the last time I talked to her she didn't intend to come back)

I was repremanded for calling someone out on being a bully but the people who insulted Erica acting like her opinion didn't count because she was female (making gender biased comments) seem to be able to get away with that.
According to the rules I read after your first offense you are repremanded. After your second your suspended. It didn't seem like the people insulting Erica were suspended and this wasn't the first time they did that to her.
It doesn't seem fair.

[kg_veteran]

ProudAmerican, you're starting to remind me of someone. That's not good news for you...

[ProudAmerican]

KG-Veteran.
Why should I care if I remind you are someone? That doesn't concern me.

Erica Lubinsky and I had several PM discussions before she decided to leave.
I contacted her first because I noticed the harassment she was getting and I was concerned about how she was treated. It wasn't fair.

[LRB]

ProudAmerican the reason it should concern you is that if we mods determine that you are a current or former poster now posting under a new account, then you will no longer be allowed to post under either account. This is a very strict part of the regulations of this site.

I certainly hope Erica changes her mind. I have enjoyed most of her posts and am sorry to hear that an insult would be enough to drive her away from posting on this board.

If so, Erica you will be missed.
