That is outrageous
There is a slight possibility that he immolates Putin. "think my way, or die". Goat says, that is democratic, they have a choice.
He may be a leader, but his "leadership" is straight to the loser column. His only life accomplishment is someone he's never met, who owns a fan site, promoted him to "Ruler". err' I mean moderator. He's a little bitch and he knows it.
 
WTF is this nonsense?

my IP address is locked out of even so much as signing in, on any Rivals network. (although The Hoosier is pretty much the only place i post).

and have been here for over 20 yrs.

(my 1st user name was permanently banned in the early 2000s for criticizing RMK, when that apparently wasn't allowed, and i changed my second user name myself because it was too contentious, although originally chosen in jest).

that's some serious cancelling, don't you think.

I think you would need to know what was said and I am not a premium member so I do not have the actual posts.
I do think short of yelling fire in a crowded theater etc you should be allowed your opinion.
 
Depends what he said. Sun rises in the east or political comment about Trump or Biden.
I think the argument is that the so-called “moderating” is very one sided with the so-called moderator playing more the role of active participant with his own personal “cancel” button for those to disagree. This is for WC threads.Personally I think that the WC board should be eliminated, and a three strikes and you’re out policy on political post should be implemented immediately.
 
Okay, you tell me-- how can winners be posting here if his IP is blocked?
Log in through the public library computer which has a different IP? Maybe? Better so, you are a hacker, how would you do it? Work it in reverse, if you wanted to do what he says, how could you pull it off?

The moderation on the WC is exceptionally fair. I personally have gone way out of bounds mother f*cking liberals on this board, and the posts stand. The thread at issue was created with the expectation of boundaries - no politics; just a recounting of war stuff so that it doesn't devolve into the same partisan crap as every other thread. There are countless other threads to blame Biden/Trump or anyone else.

It's simple enough. Use a different location like you suggest, or simply cycle your modem and grab a different IP from your ISP. Which is why winners' claim is so stupid. If they wanted to block him, Rivals would just disable his account.

ok.. It's been a very long time... But I am going to semi quote your president GOAT. Goat mentioned about being able to block specific IP's a few/several , years ago on this forum. Was that just another Putin style threat? Of course it was, he's a failure and a little bitch.
But I will totally agree, Rivals would just totally "cut to cord" if they REALLY wanted to try and stop expression.

I’ll stand by my previous statement, political posts don’t belong on a basketball /sports website anywhere. There are millions of nut jobs on both sides on the CNN, Fox, MS NBC forums in which to debate. But again, that’s just my opinion. As a libertarian, I ask that my opinion is respected, while I respect the opinions of others. However as you can see in this thread, there are certain people who respect no opinions but their own.

Ironically, or perhaps more accurately, ignorantly, I’ve been participating in this thread all morning and just realize this was a water cooler thread and not the basketball forum Sorry, my bad. I’m out.

I think you've got it backwards. The mods claim they CAN'T block by IP. That was suggested time and again on the bball board to deal with ordfan and his continually changing handles.

As a libertarian, you should be good with letting The Hoosier have a forum for political discussion, or not. You're not required to participate.

I think this thread started on some other board. But I agree if I was posting on one of the other forums I wouldn't want it poisoned with political posts either. As for your last sentence, if all the woodpeckers on the WC were eliminated there wouldn't be a WC. But I can tell you to the extent Goat moderates this board he does so very fairly

It was started on the basketball board. Yes, someone was whining about the Cooler on the basketball board. It got moved here a little while ago.
 
Agreed, as I said, I ignorantly did not realize what forum I was on.I think some little Karen got her wish and got this thread moved over to the WC.

Yes. It got moved. It never should have been on the basketball board in the first place. If I was a Mod, I would have just killed it there altogether.

Hmmm . I'm gonna have to think about this, since you are obviously on the enemy team. I'm not saying you are wrong. But there is ZERO chance that you are right.
With the one exception that ordfan sucked.

If I was a Mod,
Are you STILL on the campaign trail?
How about challenging someone to a duel, I think you'll have a 50/50 chance. I suggest GOAT (Grifter of all times) as your opponent. He will actually rig the game to stop his suffering.

That was the bball mods claim. They could have been jivin' .

Luckily, you and I are old enough that we can give each other shit, but then still set and try to decipher some Jive together. I mean even the Nun in the Movie Airplane spoke Jive! DUH.

you seem obsessed with the wrong questions.

fact is, my IP address is blocked from even signing in, and thus so from any Rivals network, even though this is really the only place i post anymore.

so exactly why this is, should be the operative question.

i post far less than many here, and far less contentiously than many.

that said, i do often post from a prospective pretty much no one else does much.

regardless, it's happening, and why is it happening should be the primary question here.

has anyone else ever been locked out of all of Rivals from signing in through IP identification, which is what's happening here?

not to nit pick, but it was June Cleaver that spoke fluent jive in the movie.

the Nun, was one of those "singing Nuns".

and when someone says "not to nit pick", that's when you know they are going to nit pick.

but if they say "not to nit pick" first, it's like they somehow get a "nit pick" exemption.

It's not personal; just business....

So how did you access Rivals to send this post?
