Moderators

[Don't be late Pedro]

BTW, lighten up on insinuations that moderators would KNOWINGLY condone a banned members sockpuppet.

Such insinuations are complete and utter BS, insulting to any normal persons intelligence, and disgraceful slander of the worst kind.

Do you actually read any of the posts about cyclists on these forums?

You have fun in here. I'm taking a break. This place is way too ****ed up.

Catch up to me when you are back in town.

I'd just like to raise one point.

In the now-closed-and-locked thread about new mods, this was posted by Eshnar:
http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showpost.php?p=1132457&postcount=51

But I'm not convinced that that is true. BroDeal started a similar thread to the one suggested above, and yet it was locked and the key thrown away.

I don't really see the problem in just leaving one thread open for members to express their discontent. What's the big deal about that? If some are too sensitive for such matters, there would be a very, very easy way for them to avoid being exposed to the possibly negative tone that might appear in one or more posts in such a thread.

Shutting down and locking threads that raise uncomfortable or difficult questions only fuels the frustration. The mods have made it perfectly clear that they are not interested in what may amount to a "gripe" thread. But why not?

Some questions need to be asked. Even the ones that none of us actually expect answers to. Allowing the questions to at least be asked may dissipates some of the frustration that builds from time to time. Not even allowing the question to be asked is...is...well, maybe the Texas trio could weigh in here.

Hey Chris,,,,,so that is it no more huh?

I will give you a ring on my next rotation.

The Texas trio well I think Patrick is distracted by the US politics thread cause he has to protect freedom and the merikan way of life. Not to mention he has to make sure that the rest of the pack does not do away with the 2nd amendment and take the guns......And as you can see Chris decided to sit back and relax in his back yard.

The joke on Susan didnt turn out well...fwiw it was a harmless joke no malice intended.

 

[pmcg76]

BPC back again!!!

Obviously I missed something as I have no idea what you are talking about.

But vacation is almost over so I will be back on full-time in a day or two....

Who is this BPC this forum is getting so worked up of? The reverse Hog?

If it was, it should be in the member suspension thread.

"BPC" has been getting a lot of attention the past few days. If I am not mistaken, it is shorthand for the "Ban Pro Cycling" user name. Search on that, and you'll probably find some muck, and gossip, to rake through.

 

[Semper Fidelis]

BPC back again!!!

Who ever BPC is they are not clever at all with the names. This time it was CivilRightsCyclist or something like that. It was as obvious as horsinabout.

 

[python]

interesting !

the confirmed and undisputed absolute second to bpc in the incarnation departmental has some advice for bpc...?

perhaps those freshmen mods introduced by suzan need to read some old mod room threads on the poster and his buds clogging the thread about mods with personal messages instead of using pms/twitter...whatever.

a disclaimer is needed here: of course i do not have nor ever had any aceess to the cn mod private forum. however, i did have a part (confirmed by several cn mods both in private and in public - still searchable) in exposing the bpc adviser(s) or his critics -like the poster above - including their multiple clones that were as uncomplicated as the bpc critic expressed....whatever....

Very droll.

Calling me corrupt - a bloke doing his best to make this forum work IN AN UNPAID CAPACITY in my own time, is slightly different than questioning extremely dodgy results from extremely dodgy professional sportsmen out to make $millions, in a sport totally corrupt and riddled with inveterate lying dopers.

match me on facts, self-boosted, about your off-topic, your buds incarnations...

Noooo Pat!

yes, he can pat himself all he wants for being pat (whatever smiley fits here)

You've been a mod for, what, 2 minutes and you already seem to have a rather large chip on your shoulder.

And, do you really think that every cyclist that is accused of something here is guilty? As is often the case people like to dish stuff out but as soon as they come into question start crying and screaming.

Maybe they have a chip on their shoulder because they have been a mod for 2 minutes and someone posts: "Do you actually read any of the posts about cyclists on these forums?"

And btw - if someone is by your definition libeled in any way, that person can take action against the person who wrote it. It is not for mods to work out what is or is not libelous.

So you really think that someone accusing a mod(s) of knowing about a sockpuppet is

disgraceful slander of the worst kind.

then you also must live in a truly wonderful world that I envy.

Who mentioned libel? People can insinuate many things that cannot be rendered as libelous.

 

[Ferminal]

Well, in the context of this forum where we are anons... it would be up there in what you can do to question someone's character.

 

[Dr. Maserati]

No, actually I don't, nor did I say or even suggest that, thankfully you asked a question and did not answer it for me....

then you also must live in a truly wonderful world that I envy.

.....oh well.

Of course none of this has anything to do with you bringing up your "cyclists" comment, which is what I was addressing.

.....oh well.

I never suggested anything I simply asked you a question which you have now answered.

Actually it has everything to do with it since it was the reason I posted the "cyclists" comment.

 

[Mad Elephant Man]

He meant the suspension announcement thread
http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showpost.php?p=870221&postcount=175

Well he should have said that.

 

[ElChingon]

I think you went over their heads

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

I think you went over their heads

i) Not everyone is anonymous
ii) I quite like Ferminal as a mod (and a poster) so I see no need to try and argue this point any further as I feel it will just go round in circles.

Yes, but if you prove it you'll be banned.

Just a thought - why not let ancient history stay just that, why try and drag it up now? For what purpose? Another thought - have you considered a sense of humor transplant?

 

[python]

i dont find a sock puppet master pontificating about his collegue's clones names in the mod thread humorous... besides he was far less creative... and the history ALWAYS repeats itself, ask some mods around.
