As I said, if OiLF was for pure junk, it'd be fine, but as it is right now, that's not how things are.
This is a sports mogul forum, not some random place where you hang out all day. If you want to debate politics, join a debate club in school, if you want to use the internet you can always start your own forum, or website to talk about your views on politics. I actually wish that ejections and OILF were at the bottom of the forum. All this childish crap that goes on probably deters people from joining the community.Quote:

I am so glad I joined the forums before the last year of post-padding madness or I never would have stuck around.Quote:

RSR dude you crack me up....no offense but you participate in all this immaturity all the time and when people balk you agree with them about things getting out of hand, how you are maturing, etc and then go right back to post-padding with MetsGuy on the next idea one of you randomly type in acts of boredom!
If it bothers you don't participate....however if you participate it is totally hypocritical to later complain. You were right in at the beginning of this round of "election" stuff!
I have made 1 thread about this election. I have posted in threads about it, yes. But I have only made one, and that is enough. I think we should be allowed to have the election and such, but not have 38472894798 threads about it...Quote:

I am not against moving them, I could care less, IMO. It would likely benefit the game, but the game does get attention. But yea, I would see no negatives in moving themQuote:

You do realize that all the "election" threads are completely useless, right?Quote:

If people were content they wouldn't post in 15 threads on elections that are fictional and don't matter!Quote:

Mod powers were taken offline I think accidentally....otherwise Ohms or HGM probably would have by now....speaking of where is Ohms?
I know, but at this point they could warn the participants, and anyone who continues to be a nuisance about it after the warning gets a temporary (3 day, one week, whatever) ban.Quote:

Arctic Blast and Rongar for starters I guessQuote:

No, Bingle asked for people who are not running for office, and Arctic is not...Quote:

3-5 teenagers, not adults that are cluttering up this forum. I wish HGM and myself could move threads again. We are basically have no control over this situation.Quote:

Apologies if I seem a bit grumpy...I'm in the midst of the adjustment to the new schedule and good lord do I need that coffee to finish brewing!
I'm with Arctic... I was in to start but backed out FAST when it went all chaotic and the threads started everywhere
It has gotten out of control with the several threads of no point (such as the NAACP Campaign manager thread). But honestly, aren't there more pressing things in other peoples lives then what people are doing on this forum?
Not be saying you shouldn't be concerned with what is on this forum but it seems almost comical the issue people are making out of this mock election. Talking about banning all those involved, etc...seems well, silly.
Immaturity is in many forms, making mountains out of mole hills is one of those forms IMO it seems as though some of you are calling the kettle black... It has gotten out of control but the backlash of those on this forum is comical. It's just plain silly the posts in here that attack those involved.
That sums up how I feel. It has gone a bit crazy, but it is not a big deal, and as Duck says, there are more pressing things. This is not worth getting all worked up about, we were just trying to have a little fun, and you guys got obnoxious about it. Some people's responses were no better then some of the election stuff.Quote:
