You have insufficient privileges to reply

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.
This is correct. The mods are very limited in what they can do. I assume the admins have more power.

Edit: F*ck it, let's leave this thread up. Keep the babies occupied.
 
I can't disagree with any of that.
Correct it will be but at least i will be able to read posts of some banned on twitter. If it censors all libs i will leave it. A site where everyone agrees is just boring. I can just talk with people i agree with in real life if I want that.

Ok, I will ditch the ultra hard right, Gravy Seal side azz for a minute to make a serious, hopefully productive comment.
I'm a member of several other boards on other sites. They have strict, yet well demonstrated boundaries. Once a threads starts to go off the rails, they utilize public, totally transparent notices to the members to veer back onto the rails. Everything is very transparent and public, until that .1% needs to be "put in the corner" for a bit.
The posters themselves on those site's do a dang fine job of staying in bounds and self moderating because of that transparency and non partisan application.
While this site is a sh$thole, there are many here I would almost assuredly be able to have a fun conversation over a drink or a doughnut, and enjoy the entire experience. The only thing that stops the "normal" type of conversations here, is that the veiled "moderation" of this site seems like it's a CNN break room water cooler with a sponsored by Soros bumper sticker.

With that, I will admit that I can post better. I can post to discuss instead of ruffle. I am part of the problem, but I will help to fix it if you help also. Be better equal leaders (mods) and I am sure everyone will follow, and we need it.

God, I hope that I am not going to regret reading this in the morning.

I just hope it cost twatt'er and facebook big $. I would love more people to tell them to go Zuck themselves.

**I got permission to use that from the originator. It's freaking brilliant!

The only moderators on the WC are @Cajun54 @IUJIM and @NPT

None of which I would consider a bit liberal. This board has basically no moderation or rules, in practice. Would be nice if it did.

Their stocks are tanking. I have not been on facebook in five years. Never liked it anyway. Just people full of themselves. Have not missed twitter in the least honestly. The only thing that sucks is i cannot check certain posts on my kids sports on twitter. But i simply wont support twitter. This is the last topic on the water cooler i will post on which will make the libs happy as hell. I will certainly post on the bbal board that is fun and non cencorsed. But once a board starts censoring people it disagrees with really no point being on it anymore. Just give them what they want. 100% compliance with one view and they should all be happy as hell from here on out. Wasnt that the goal anyway.

Good post and good luck to you. Have tough armor for the name calling coming.

That's probably all we can handle.
It’s actually a new idea if you think about it. I think to some degree this board got fractionally better when the moderators threw up their hands couple years back. But here what you’re doing is creating an example of proper posting which stands in contrast to the other threads. Who knows, that might lead to people just (accidentally?) getting used to posting better.

Except for the Ukraine thread. I'm totally moderating that. I won't hide.
Yet you would not answer a simple yes or no question, if you are the one who revoked my privileges or not. Is that your definition of "I won't hide"?
GinvertebrateOAT ! WORM! Own it, stand up and then I will be better.

I can't translate this. Sorry.

Ok. Finally can respond after being blocked all day again. Seems I get about 2-3 replies per day, then back on lockdown.

I’m pretty sure it is your whiney little ass that started all this. Makes me want to find you and bitch slap you ala Juwan Howard. Face the facts boy, you’re an idiot and have no clue about the sh— you post and boast about. All but your closest butthole buddies here know it, say it, and laugh at you. But keep it up pal. You are consistent if nothing else.
Cool story. Smart move. Peace.

To be honest, that used to bother me although initially I wouldn't admit it. Then I noticed over and over and over, postings that were totally self destructive to our way of life, while promoting their superiority. Once I noticed it, I really don't care any longer. Many "left" on this board have ideas that will and are destroying our way of life. It's one thing that it hurts my way of life, it's totally another thing that it's like they are slicing their own throats and won't listen to the "community moderators" who are trying to warn them, to save themselves.
This particular online community should be evidence enough that social workers instead of cops won't work. The other problem is, the entire concept doesn't effect middle America much, it totally hurts the urban areas we all want to improve. Why would "THEY" want to bring more destruction to the urban area? hmmmm?

Honestly, your partial ownership will receive my partial acceptance.
We both know that what I posted was controversial (but 100% true). How about I promise to clean it up, and you replace my privileges?
If I eff up again you can totally ban me, all sites, and I will not question anything. .... But you know what I posted was 100% true!

Any conservative thats posts on other topics good luck. They may keep a few on you on so they have someone to attack. But other than that once they started the purge just leave honestly. There really is no point just stick to the bbal board.
 
How is it that the ones doing the most crying, moaning, bitching, and posting on this thread are the ones who are either blocked, banned, or have supposedly left for Trumpier pastures?

Trumpers around here are such drama queens.

You’re a Trump denier. You deny that he has any influence or any future. Well, at least you used to. I don’t know if you’ve seen the light or not.
He's not safe either. After Bailey, DANC, Joe, myself, etc are banned they'll come for him too eventually with that hammer.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
