Not according to Vitality. Both the Spin Room and the WWE are constantly one of the more vibrant and active boards.

In my book, heatedly debating someone didn't need to include name calling, multiple posts, quoting and re-quoting posts, and other quality of life concerns. Some feel differently which is why there is a sub-forum devoted to all the poo-throwing one can muster

(10-13-2014 08:37 PM)G-Man Wrote:  And the number of posts were much greater than now.

Yes, you are right. Thank goodness we do not have as many multiple, sometimes a dozen, active threads about the same damn things.....

(10-13-2014 08:37 PM)G-Man Wrote:  So why did the format change? People who didn't post as much, wanted it changed. They said it would be "better".

Yes, I think that moderate posters (again, not necessarily politically moderate) all agree the Spin Room is is getting better.

(10-13-2014 08:37 PM)G-Man Wrote:  Do less posts, and less interaction make it better?

Yes, I feel this is the case. Concentrating comments and responses in bigger threads is easier to follow and maintain conversations.

What you guys did was attempt to relegate the people who gave the board flavor, to the back room. The subforum should have been created for the complainers.

Talk to the bosses - forum or subforum is really just a housekeeping item. I personally was surprised that the main forum was the moderated forum versus having the demands for civility moved to a sub-forum. Hopefully you've just moved your Spin Room bookmark over to the Spin Room WWE and adjusted appropriately.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. This place was slowly but surely coming apart at the seems. Like I said, if no control is provided, or at least threatened, the entire history of the internet shows that the inmates will take over the asylum. I do not want that to happen here. Neither did many, many posters.

Yes, in some capacity the volume of posters and threads will ebb and flow in the natural progression of a message board. But I don't understand though why you need bomb-throwers to have a conversation. If you want vigorous discussion, do as we are doing now.......

This place has never been boring. And, elections are coming up..... I say we have years of BS to parse and comment on.....

You know good and well were it is right now.

WHO STARTED THE THREAD?

IS HE A MOD?

WERE HIS OTHER RESPONSES IN IT PURE TROLLING AS WELL?

IS HE STILL AT IT?

Once again, please point me to the thread. I looked through the first page and did not see a thread of that type from him. I see no trolling threads by him.

We both know the thread is on the front of the WWE forum.

Once again, the WWE forum is unmoderated. Thus, your argument is of zero merit because it was not placed in the main spin room forum.

If we were just talking about any poster, that would be a valid point.

Instead we are talking about a board mod, so my point is 100% valid imo.

So lets not try twist things so we can insinuate I am an extremist or liar next time. Or group me in with other posters you dislike or disagree with so you will feel more validated disagreeing with me.

I have an opinion on the matter and its just as valid as any.

I don't have a problem with your opinion. I just told you my opinion back. I've been personally attacked by several people in that forum, but since it is "unmoderated" I didn't do anything about it. Admittedly, I don't read every thread there as I'm too busy reading the main forum.

I'd appreciate that the "conservative" group of posters whom are the most upset in this thread stop labeling the moderators of this forum as liberal. It just isn't the case. There are moderators from the left, right, and middle all trying to keep this place civil.

I never used the word liberal here at all so go tell it to the guilty parties please...

I spoke specifically about the thread itself and the author being a mod. I never mentioned or tried to group anyone's political leanings in anyway.

You did though.

Where? When?

Can someone explain to me why I can't discuss gay marriage on the WWE board? If you take it as trolling because you don't believe in gay marriage then you have a personal problem with gay marriage in general, not me. Also, it is ONE thread, a thread you can easily ignore and never open. Also, not on the Spin Room board.

You can stand back and claim ignorance and pretend I am the biggest butt hurt bigot in the world.

Bottom line, you were absolutely looking to troll in that tread and did just that.

That is a fact.

You don't need to open the thread bro. I don't have any desire to call you those things. When I start throwing around mod powers in the WWE (I won't, you have my word) you can raise a stink.

You already made the suggestion in the previous post.

Now in the very next post you claim you "don't want to say those things".

Whatever

Being against gay marriage doesn't make you a bigot. It makes you against gay marriage.

Every post a mod makes now, they all line up and cheer "hip hip horray!", pat them on the back and telling them how great it all is now.

Just read the above posts.

You should see the complaining from both sides I get in my PM box every day. Or the list of reported posts. What you said is so far off base it is a joke.

How can you get complaining when the rooms have been divided up to prevent just that? And how many posters does this forum generally have, 50? Of that, how many are willing to complain? I doubt many of the conservatives complain at all. And if they had a complaint they almost certainly would take it to a mod who leans towards the right, like Hambone or Smitty. So that leads me to believe the complaints you're getting are from the left.

Lets review some of your posts from that thread you supposedly weren't trolling in:

Quote:

Quote:

Quote:lol u mad?

Quote:The harpies are swarming quickly it seems.

Quote:I cannot control your reactions. U mad bro?

Quote:You sound mad :\

Quote:So posting national news is trolling? K. Noted.

Quote:Because I felt like saying it even if it wasn't entirely accurate.

You wanna post the posts that inspired those? It's an 8 page thread.

I'm happy about the latest results (dancing yo gabba gabba), within a few hours I had all the usual suspects swarm in (harpy comment, which was rude of me admittedly), they sounded mad, I responded to someone, and then I admitted in the last one LSU was correct.


But what is funny is it shouldn't matter since the WWE is the WWE.

Actually I pulled most of those from page 1. lol

I think I most here would agree that we want our mods to act like mods. Not act like petty flamers and troll people in the WWE room.

Your posts speak for themselves, as I illustrated.
