Of all of the wonderful things about cougarboard, this is probably

shimmy

6/25/17 9:45am

Agreed. Mods typically do a solid job. I'd hate to moderate the baffoons on CB

spugeddy24

6/25/17 9:51am

There is probably not an easier group of people on the Internet

SJS

6/25/17 9:53am

Yeah - just assume they are all crazy and bingo!

Choke

6/25/17 9:56am

It's like reffing basketball, only call the worst stuff and let them play ball

Jericho

6/25/17 10:04am

Seriously. Go to 4Chan if you want to see something hard to moderate

Harrison0Yfan

6/25/17 3:51pm

i've never received a suspension i agreed with...

ds7

6/25/17 9:54am

Lol. I'm sure you don't agree with them.

spugeddy24

6/25/17 9:55am

Your dissent is noted, Mr. Trump.

SJS

6/25/17 9:56am

so...is calling someone a name, like "mr trump" a compliment or an insult?

ds7

6/25/17 9:57am

Fair point.

SJS

6/25/17 9:58am

I'm sure it's a compliment to you. Settle down.

spugeddy24

6/25/17 9:59am

It's always meant as an insult on CB

LV Mike

6/25/17 10:12am

Your pointless condescension looking over your reading glasses is likewise noted

LV Mike

6/25/17 11:14am

Can I report someone for ripping off a joke and then executing it poorly?

SJS

6/25/17 11:16am

Yes, please do

LV Mike

6/25/17 11:28am

thats crazy. Multiple times I've been suspended and thought, "crap, I thought

shimmy

6/25/17 10:00am

the only time that has happened is when i thought it was FO and couldn't delete

ds7

6/25/17 10:02am

That pretty much sums up all of my posts.

OneUpper

6/25/17 10:19am

Then, and I say this as politely as I can, maybe time for some self reflection?

The Dude Abides

6/25/17 10:12am

it's not when refs call regular fouls...but when they call a technical foul...

ds7

6/25/17 10:15am

Doesn't that fit in exactly with what the dude abides said?

OneUpper

6/25/17 10:22am

I can only imagine what a dark place your FO must be like.

GAINZ

6/25/17 11:23am

I want in

covfefe

6/25/17 11:45am

The one thing that makes your entire statement seem fake is

Jericho

6/25/17 10:03am

His are deserved but you and ds7 are just misunderstood and picked on. Got it.

spugeddy24

6/25/17 10:05am

he said it himself...he was trying to get away with something...

ds7

6/25/17 10:07am

Difference is he has the self awareness to realize he deserved the suspension

spugeddy24

6/25/17 10:11am

and he'd be right...i have no interest in "getting away with anything"...

ds7

6/25/17 10:12am

ds, your lack of self awareness is so amazingly bad I have a tough time

CSoul

6/25/17 10:13am

and i'm polite enough not to tell you what i think in general pop...

ds7

6/25/17 10:17am

Naw, you've called me a lib many times which is for you the ultimate insult

CSoul

6/25/17 10:22am

well...now you're describing someone who IS self-aware...make up your mind

ds7

6/25/17 10:25am

"and falsely assume some people's intentions for the majority of warnings/suspensions." You really believe this?

HarlemCoug

6/25/17 10:09am

Not all of them. Sometimes I have been surprised by them and disagreed and lost

shimmy

6/25/17 10:19am

Yup. Preach...

CarolinaCoug

6/25/17 11:21am

Assuming intent is the worst part of moderation here.

SandYFan

6/25/17 12:48pm

And what's the best part?

SuperTank

6/25/17 12:49pm

keeping the vulgarity and silly personal attacks off the board...

ds7

6/25/17 1:00pm

They absolutely do that....

CoachSpeak

6/25/17 4:42pm

wait. there are CBers who think conservatives have it hard, are treated

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 10:09am

if "some of us" match a libs emotion/heat...yeah...suspension...

ds7

6/25/17 10:10am

like i said. so funny.

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 10:17am

And keep in mind: CB "libs" are just center-right Repubs like Romney

SJS

6/25/17 10:12am

Exactly.

spugeddy24

6/25/17 10:13am

lol. so true.

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 10:14am

wrong...

ds7

6/25/17 10:16am

RE: wrong...

SJS

6/25/17 10:18am

Am I a cb lib?

shimmy

6/25/17 10:20am

you're not on my list...

ds7

6/25/17 10:20am

Wait, you actually have a list?

SJS

6/25/17 10:22am

Nice. I get called a cb Lib all the time. I'm center left on a couple

shimmy

6/25/17 10:23am

I'd bet that I am

spugeddy24

6/25/17 10:24am

RE: you're not on my list...

OneUpper

6/25/17 10:28am

I bet I'm on the list.

Baron

6/25/17 10:52am

he knows if you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake,

Yoshinobu

6/25/17 10:57am

CB lib = further left than Timothy McVeigh

bluebloodedcoug

6/25/17 11:02am

I so hope that I'm on that list.

mpfunk

6/25/17 12:02pm

I proudly call myself a liberal, but I don't mean it like most here use it

6/25/17 10:27am

I was one of several who got a warning for using the laughing emoji on a post

jigidajrit

6/25/17 10:22am

Copy/paste the mod message or you're chicken.

OneUpper

6/25/17 10:29am

RE: Copy/paste the mod message or you're chicken.

jigidajrit

6/25/17 10:32am

Interesting. Welp, it happens. I have several suspensions and warnings I felt

OneUpper

6/25/17 10:34am

It stuck with me because it showed me the double standard that exists on CB

jigidajrit

6/25/17 10:39am

You learned there's a double standard on CB because of one warning? And only one warning?

SuperTank

6/25/17 10:54am

Your only warning, ever. The text is canned and given automatically.

El Jefe

6/25/17 10:46am

I actually had a second warning but it was rescinded because it was

jigidajrit

6/25/17 11:03am

So the mods voted to remove a penalty that you felt was unfairly given?

El Jefe

6/25/17 11:36am

The warning shouldn't have happened in the first place

jigidajrit

6/25/17 12:11pm

AKA, it worked like it should.

SuperTank

6/25/17 12:15pm

The warning in this instance was more of a notification.

El Jefe

6/25/17 12:46pm

chicken? really, the "chicken card?" how about, it's against the rules...

ds7

6/25/17 10:33am

It's intentionally juvenile and meant to draw a laugh. It's

OneUpper

6/25/17 10:40am

yeah, your gen pop persona can't pull this off...

ds7

6/25/17 10:44am

Who says gen pop was the intended audience?

OneUpper

6/25/17 10:57am

then you're right...it is intentionally juvenile...

ds7

6/25/17 11:06am

Dont blame the mods, Joey Crawford set the precedent.

Hedonic Threadmill

6/25/17 11:13am

Another rotten take

Backcountry

6/25/17 10:24am

Imagine caring what a ute fan pretending to be a byu fan thinks.

shimmy

6/25/17 10:27am

That's 2. Truly one of the worst posters on the board.

Backcountry

6/25/17 10:30am

^^^ I don't understand. Need more context.

SJS

6/25/17 10:30am

For like 3 years every backcountry post was about how horrible byu is and how

shimmy

6/25/17 10:38am

As a conservative, I can say that the conservatives on this board are such

Virginia Ute

6/25/17 11:00am

I'd say the mods are the ones who get "their tender little feelings" hurt too

P-townCoug

6/25/17 11:10am

'power'

HoustonCougar

6/25/17 11:11am

RE: 'power'

OneUpper

6/25/17 11:33am

How do you know he was being political with that statement? You sound like a mod

Cougarfan777

6/25/17 12:46pm

I don't know that. He may have been talking about a million different things.

shimmy

6/25/17 1:28pm

Are you insinuating that I am myopic?

IrishCooga

6/25/17 2:53pm

Lol.

SuperTank

6/25/17 3:55pm

What is so funny Mr. Mod?

IrishCooga

6/25/17 7:25pm

No, im laughing at your tantrum. That's all.

SuperTank

6/25/17 7:33pm

Ok, what tantrum, and why is it so funny?

IrishCooga

6/25/17 7:45pm

Not sure how "lol" could be classified as me throwing a tantrum.

SuperTank

6/25/17 8:00pm

Not sure how rhetorical questions could either

IrishCooga

6/25/17 8:03pm

The very concept of Mods is a very BYU thing

stonecougar

6/26/17 9:21am

Is it? Every forum I visit has moderators. I've never seen one without them.

SuperTank

6/26/17 9:26am

Are you saying internet message boards not associated with BYU don't have moderators?

brj8

6/26/17 10:21am

I don't know about any other boards

stonecougar

6/26/17 11:32am

I DO know other boards, and CB is moderated much more tightly than others. FWIW.

SJS

6/26/17 12:54pm

Not sure why mocking another CBer is okay...but whatever.
