hammerlockthree 2,581 Report post Posted July 9, 2019 The posters are softer than the moderators. You can't say one person is tougher than another without half a dozen people freaking out, every delinquent to show a little contrition is instantly hailed as a hero...

How is mentioning the is being considered as the replacement for the Olympics going to be the dagger that keeps him out of consideration? According to the rules the consideration of his entry was based on his competition results, so it was not a surprise to anyone who was being considered or why he deserved to be the one added in. 2. Who on the FILA committee is reading his board on a regular basis? Let along taking the comment as a serious representation of USA Wrestling. Let along being offended by just the sheer mention of the considered as grounds for elimination him from consideration? 3. It had no disparaging comments (st least the initial post maybe most of them) about the Wrestler, USA Olympics, FILA, or the IOC in it to even offended anyone who may have read them. Worst locked thread I believe that I have ever seen. I don’t blame JB (mod at the time) for this, since he was doing as ordered, but what a dumb rational behind this one. On a side note this was probably the closest I’ve been to being temporarily banned due to constantly egging on the “he who shall not be named” rhetoric.

On a side note this was probably the closest I’ve been to being temporarily banned due to constantly egging on the “he who shall not be named” rhetoric. I was not the mod during the whole Mike Zadick issue (there, I said it!) , I was still at InterMat until August of 2008. Wrestling 411 after that. I didn’t start moderating this board until December of 2009-October of 2012. During that time, I outlined rules and best practices. I can’t speak for the moderation before me, but I felt I was fair, approachable and transparent - but I did prefer to answer most questions directly asked - although few actually took the time to contact me directly. I banned 12 accounts in 3 years, most trolls and repeat signups from previous bans. The 2008 purge had that many in a week and the 2009 one (Shovegate) was likely more. Neither of those were on my watch. Just wanted to clarify. Magistrate! (Some if you understand what this means) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My apologies for the mistaken identity JB. It’s been a few years and a few drinks since that time. But I still stand by my earlier statement that I don’t blame the moderator for the censorship if he was indeed taking direction from someone else to do it.

JasonBryant 2,058 Report post Posted July 12, 2019 if I had to guess, I’d assume it was because the thread devolved into non-wrestling political babble. Don’t blame the mods for users posting stupid sh*t unrelated to the sport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
