People have asked about a new Mod in these parts...

[CO. Hoosier]

 

[JamieDimonsBalls]

F*CKING HELL

 

[Morrison]

Mark’s first act should’ve been zapping the soccer thread. Too late now. 😊

 

[Bulk VanderHuge]

 

[NPT]

About time this place had a mod who actually gave a shit.

Well goat we'll see how long it lasts. Cajun, you, and I tried to keep it civil but you finally gave up and we, for the most part, did also. Some people have a lot more time than I do to babysit the cooler and I'm retired.

 

[NPT]

Cajun is here everyday around 2:30 pm deleting post.

In your dreams he is and that's the only place.

 

[NPT]

No, I know for a fact and you do too.

Well if he is it's news to me and I still don't believe it. I haven't communicated with him in ages and when I did it was about health problems in the family.

That's always an option.

 

[larsIU]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, it's one of the better threads on this board.

I don't read it. Coincidence?

People have been asking if I'm now a moderator. Yes, I am. There was a time
when people claimed if that ever happened they'd leave. Well, now's your
chance.

I'm deleting posts and replies that are little more than "You're an idiot" or a
variation of that. Posts that call out other posters and claim they're stupid
or suffering from BDS or TDS are getting deleted as well. Bottom line is I'm
taking down all the direct personal attacks on other posters.

That said, good natured smack talk and clever chops busting will be allowed and
encouraged. I know what that looks like. If there's any question I'll ask
yo' momma, since she'll be right here with me.

I won't catch everything and won't get everything right, either. You get what
you pay for. If you are posting good thoughtful content, don't make me delete
it over a gratuitous, unnecessary "You're stupid" thrown in.

Solid long term posters who consistently add content will be given the benefit
of the doubt. People who consistently shit post won't.

Lucy will get more latitude than most anybody, because Lucy.

TMP will get a pass on his one word "Dumb" replies. It's a trademark.
Otherwise, I'm going to ask that he try and keep himself reined in.

Use the Report button if something gets posted that's way out of line.
Understand that I'm not at a desk job anymore and can't actively do much during
the day, and I also go to bed a lot earlier than many of you. If a shitstorm
breaks out it may take some time to get to it.

I don't have any desire to ban people or do time outs or vaycays but I'm not
opposed to it. If I spend all my time cleaning up your crap, don't be surprised
when I get my fill of it.

My mod powers don't include the ability initiate PMs, but if you send me one
then the channel is open and we can have a discussion that way if anyone likes.
I've tried to do a back door kind of messaging via the Warn function, but I'm
not sure it's worked. I'll explore other avenues. For the time being, if anyone
wants to discuss this civilly and in the open, using this thread would be the
best way to go.

Good to know the Christophobes are getting shut down. And the folks who sling false claims of Nazism, racism and fascism.

The whole leftie playbook looks dead. I rejoice. I applaud the cut of your hall monitor jib.

What's a "Christophobe?"

Don’t forget those false claims of communism, socialism, and anti-Americanism. Looks like the rightie playbook is headed for the dustbin.

 

[Stuffshot]

King Arthur: I am your king.
Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

And, how do you know he is a king!

 

[IUclover]

What's a "Christophobe?"

People who are afraid of people named Christopher and Christina. Started sometime in the 80s.

 

[MyTeamIsOnTheFloor]

What's a "Christophobe?"

Anti-semitism against Christians.

The American Hitler will go after the Christians. Then the Muslims. By then, everybody will claim atheism.

Bunch of little Eichmanns.

Shut up you Godless America-hating socio-commie.

 

[Bulk VanderHuge]

Did UM prohibit “woke”? You left that out.

I think Mark just got a woody seeing this.

In steps, "The hammer"..

Next thing you will tell us is that Bowlmania is a mod. LOL!

Wait, so TMP gets a pass insulting people simply because he’s been doing it for a long time?

Can we still reply with “dumb” to his posts?

People have been doing that almost as long.

Dumb.

(By the way, I don't think you are dumb.)

Odd, he has eight of them.

You need a stamp or some kind of overly officious ruling language.

OH this could be pretty cool. Could we, the minion, request reports on the decisions and then the dissenting opinions of the other mods? Transparency so to say, a living document guide for your constituency to taste the flavor of the court.
This could be fun.

We could just bring in a leaker

I get it, you are the new kid on the block. There is a power struggle. You don't want the old dogs to see that you are moving in. But you're not saying it's no. Interesting play.
You are also having second thoughts about them not giving you access to premie content. $10 content should be easy to offer to have an embedded mole. You are starting to feel like you're being played. Controversy creates clicks, clicks buys Malibu homes. Day two of being on the "job" and you're feeling the squeeze. This is how the cartel owns you.
Come back to the force Mark.

Can we still bash Trumpers and call them idiots??
