Rivals Banned

[bamagrad75]

You can email me. I’ll forward the emails.

I'm not interested in private conversations, not answering. We need open, public answers.

I honestly don’t know.

There’s nothing I can see.

Then unban me please

 

[The.Waving.Wheat]

That made more sense because it wasn't one long run on sentence.

I think I'm starting to understand RP now haha

You have any inside info on him? I thought he might have got a little extra slack because mods knew he legit had some real life problems.

 

[LSUdude]

Soooo..anybody tried the Quip toothbrush?

Is it good?

Okay, since most of my first recap wasn't addressed, let's recap some more

1. So now you "recall" a "passing" comment made by Nod about another board. But you never knew of that board until Thursday night when all this came to pass but don't remember if Cowpoke says he told you in detail basically a week ago.

2. So, Greg Ladky, someone who has virtually NO interest in this board (the first time I've ever seen him post was that buy subscription thread) who's main interest is ads, discovers by divine guidance this board & stops what he is doing TWO DAYS before what has to be one of the potential biggest ad revenue days on this board..before a heavy weekend of conference championship games..STOPS to take time to go look at some nothing board and ban THREE people..Toad, RTR & Cow.

Then, during this important time for revenue/ads, takes MORE time to go delete the board, then methodically OVER THREE DAYS during this heavy time to hunt down other people and IP ban them. Because this was more important than time spent on ads/revenue. That he couldn't have waited until after this weekend & done the same thing.

3. I understand him taking the time to ban people who emailed him directly.

4. AND, during this major time on the board, he takes even MORE time to read the board he's never had a remote interest in for THREE or MORE days & nuke any thread asking for information or critical to what's going on?

5. But you spent your time hunting down mods. Which mods did you bring in since Melb only came in later & it appears janty was understandably occupied with a death in the family? Are you saying there were OTHER mods moderating the board or was it just you with occasional assistance from Melb or was Greg the one nuking the threads since you told me you'd only nuked one.

6. At any point did you contact Greg & say, hey this is a really bad idea at this time & maybe we should step back, cool off & think this thru. Or were you just following orders?

7. At any time did you consider saying, Nope, won't be a part of this, it's not fair & an overreaction? Once you had a chance to think about it, like when you were sitting all alone watching a game?

8. Or are you saying this ALL was strictly Greg, all the bans, all the nukings of threads?

Just skimming through this.

Alot more than 3 bans were handed out Thursday. Just at different times.

From what I have seen there. Greg started handing out bans about 7pm that night. I was banned at 11 while I was PM'ing all of you on the other issue.

AR and them still have mod access, but the last time I looked I saw a deleted thread from Cow's Alt that Greg deleted. And then I was zapped. They would be able to see the screen to see how many were deleted by Greg after that. When we delete a thread it signs who deleted it. However it doesn't do that for a merge.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

Just would like answers and not bullshit.

Welcome to my world.

Yeah I cut him a lot of slack because he has some cognitive impairments.

I need to pm you here about another issue you asked me to look into but it's too late tonight to do so. I'll get it off to you tomorrow.

 

[AR_Oregon]

You guys have my email.

I'm not interested in private conversations, not answering. We need open, public answers.

That is what people don’t get. There are no answers that any mod can answer.

You guys have his email address - blow it up.

She emailed me earlier just haven't gotten back to her yet.

You can email me at my yahoo mod email it is still active, if you want. I haven't logged in at Soundoff because there isn't a reason for me to be there.

 

[SignalBama]

Ok here goes in order.

 

[MarineG8R]

Is it good?

I was just trying to change the subject, was getting heavy.

I’m hearing some positive. I haven’t tried it yet. Wondering if others have.

Greg,

I haven’t been on Rivals for a while because I made a big move to a different state and had a lot going on.

I don’t know what happened on the other board that caused this, and I don’t want to cause you any stress.

Is there any possibility to address why moderators can’t see the bans or warnings, and how long some of those bans will be? I understand that some posters deserve to be permanently banned, and I respect that decision. But from the perspective of many long-time posters, they see a few posters who are gone that I as a moderator cannot explain because I have no clue exactly what happened.

I know you have a long weekend coming up, so if you cannot answer this - I understand.

Hope all is well.

Why don't the rest of you quit in protest of what is happening? Stand the hell up for what's gone down unfairly.
ANd why are you private messaging me? Anything you have to say to me can be said here in an open environment.

That "other board" was a dead board that users were taking advantage of to post inappropriate material (very raunchy ****, etc). The **** itself, as well as taking advantage of dead/unmoderated forums simply is not tolerated, ever.
Everyone involved is banned permanently.

Ok. Thank you.
Just so I’m clear - everyone who posted on that board is permanently banned?

No, that is not the case at this time.
This is also the last I am writing about this. We reserve the right to revisit that forum and find what else was going on.
