WOW Really AZ DBacks!!!

You think maybe people are reporting certain people's posts just because they don't like them?

Which may or may not contribute to the "history" that ends up getting them banned... right?
Like I said - thought goes into things.

You know. For all of the talk about how strict the mods are - a few of you really should sit back and think about why things are getting tightened up. The TOS isn't a "please, follow these." They are a group of terms that you agree to.

People here aren't unjustly silenced as people tend to make it out.

Many mod edits you see are a direct result of complaints from board members. Members like you... SCT... PoseyBuster. Mods don't have the desire to babysit. If you think we're "harsh" - take a look at how mods are spoken to around here. Look at how much sarcasm and how many belligerent comments we get. It really has gotten to the point where people think that because mods have - historically - not said anything that we just don't care.

We care. We care about the people who have content to contribute beyond asking for freebies or telling us how bad FCB is. If FCB is so bad - I'm not forcing you to stay here. We care enough to spend some of our time - uncompensated - combing through random reported posts, spam accounts and trolling just so we can try to make this a place that not only welcomes the "big dogs" but also the new guys.

If that doesn't appeal to you - fine. Go ahead and head out.

One thing I want to say, though. I play the bad cop.. sure, I'll wear that. You know why I play the bad cop? Because I actually let people know when they're crossing the lines. I extend the courtesy of giving the public the transparency they say the staff doesn't provide. You know what I get for it? Being told how "harsh" I am. You can't have it both ways, people. If someone is breaking the TOS or unable to function in a socially acceptable manner, they're going to get reprimanded. You can have transparency or silence, but it is going to happen.

It just amazes me that the people who call us out the most are the ones that are still here... still here, because we don't punish people for their opinions. Really unfair, right?
Yet, they come back. They come back by choice. Every time - saying they're leaving. You want change? Be proactive. Contribute. FCB is the most welcoming community in the hobby, and, if you cannot see that, then I cannot help you.

This is all just MY personal opinion.

great post, Adam

Good thing the Dodgers didn't clinch in Oakland. I don't think they'd really want to take a dip in that "pool"....




However, I'm pretty sure that Lew Wolff and the oakland media would not be offended if they did.

Edit: [MENTION=1794]A_Pharis[/MENTION] he didn't do what I said. He was speaking about someone else.
