You Think Warpath Mods are Unfair?

I was at the Bears board seeing what they thought of trading for Arch and they are discussing this issue as well. Two of their members were the first two guys banned on that thread. It turns out you get banned for posting something in the wrong forum there as well. No warnings? What's up with that board and how can it possibly survive with that kind of garbage leadership?

Funny how it's part of the official Bucs website.

What's the link to the thread on the Bears board? We should invite them over here to join in the Bucs ridicule with us.

You really want to risk potential Denim_Mongerers coming to this board? I believe the people who hijacked GTripps username and shared titface with us are Bears fans as well. Careful young, TAFK... errr...SmootSmack.

Did you just forget to write GTripp's in the possessive form with an apostrophe? Banned! See in you 10 weeks. Pick up an AP Style book in the meantime.

Yeah I agree, but also for another reason. I figure the Bucs board is about to get a serious beating as word of that abuse of power bounces around the fansites of other teams. They need some serious messing with from as many people as possible and I would rather keep the retaliatory dogs from sniffing around here. It's really bad because that site is affiliated with the team. Like I said who the hell is in charge down there and why?

I'm not supposed to talk/type. SmootSmack banned me for 10 weeks. Don't let him know you're trying to communicate with me or you'll get it even worser (still haven't bought the AP book thingy).

This is Mod IV's comment in one of the "Rules" thread:

Quote:

It's not a question of "letting something slide". It's a question of seeing how far some of you can hijack a legitimate NFL discussion with draft talk. Most return to normal after a few posts, usually with the help of rule savvy board veterans.
Be advised that some of you have a propensity for that (interjecting draft talk in an NFL thread). It has not gone unnoticed.

Fair warning.

uh ohhhhh - Mod IV is watching you. We wouldn't want anyone to confuse discussions about the NFL draft with a "legitimate NFL discussion".

WOW and I thought Sheriff Gonna Getcha was a cry baby!

JoeRedskin · 03-20-2007, 04:37 PM

Then there is this exchange in the same thread.

To threaten to take action against people because their posts contain FA AND Draft comments in one post? It just doesn't seem right.

But hey, it's your forum, I guess.

I'm sorry, it just leaves me speechless.

Here's the link to the thread: The Official Bulletin Board of The Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Please Remember..

Hail2theskins · 03-20-2007, 05:15 PM

No its a board run by nazi's holy crap, just scroll through Mod IV's recent posts, all of them are banning people, this one caught my eye the best though:

The Official Bulletin Board of The Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Buccaneer gear in Brandon?

That Guy · 03-20-2007, 05:22 PM

it's like when saddam asked his advisors who tried to plot a coup, thanked them for their honesty, and then had them all shot.

nothing like that to really promote the free exchange of ideas.

That Guy · 03-20-2007, 05:23 PM

we should hijack the board and either ban everyone or just the mods for the next two years.

That forum sucks major donkey balls.

Most of the talk there (more than 50%) is about how people have violated the rules in some way. They are so full of themselves, and their rules, that they can't even have any discussion.

Somebody posted something which apparently violated the rule of "making light of a player's injury". Then, when another person quoted it for response, he was scorned for quoting something that had broken one of the rules. Apparently, quoting an illegitimate post is a bannable offense.

Pretty soon, that forum will just be a couple of mods talking to themselves. Yay! F'ing morons...

This site is one of the few sites that the Mods don't get in the way of discussions for the most part. Everyone gets emotional once in a while, but the mods here do a very good job of staying level headed.
If you disagree, I suggest you visit other sites. I've been to some rough ones that would ban you for disagreeing with them. You could say Green was the best CB the skins ever had, and if he felt Bailey was, you were banned. It happens. We have very good mods here.
