That way I could stop being michellewie.) Last I remember I thought HGM was a mod as well. Don't know I was gone for along time and when I came back the forum seemed like a lawless wasteland.

I was a mod.

I forget what specifically led up to Clay removing mods, though.

As for brewersfan, what did it get banned for? You could probably email Clay or Dee and discuss it with them.

Once that happens, posters need to check themselves.

The alts haven't really been a problem... for like over a year. The only ones now are Bingle's few (Like Anti Fail and Joe morgan)

I dont think the stuff is getting to anyone as you describe it. Its not like when we see it we want to toss our computer out the door every time we see stuff like this. With that said, this type of stuff will always lead to worse things being posted because if there is nobody to lay down the law, then what will stop someone from taking things further?

I honestly dont think there is anything wrong with discussing how to make things better, it is done all the time in situations outside the forum. Just because it is a forum doesnt mean we shouldnt strive to make things better around here for everyone.

Re: Closing of threads

When it's derailing threads and worse, getting them closed, it's a problem.

Ever think that maybe they're different people? I have no idea what ever made you even decide that they were alts. It doesn't even make any sense.

1. They write exactly the same
2. nwuhockey is the only person besides Josh who voted that they liked Josh's dynasty
3. Josh and nwu's dynasties have incredibly similar plots
4. They're equally immature
5. They both get very very defensive when you accuse them of being the other one

It's the same person

Gee, convincing evidence there.

How about this - what reason would this person have to have two accounts both functioning as normal accounts, each with separate dynasties and such?

I actually think they are the same person, but i have never reported or said as such before this very post.

I think he does it just for pure lack of maturity and things to do.

I have noticed a ton of similar things, always being posted at the same time and it just seems too easy.

Doesn't mean that they aren't separate people, but it would make sense if it wasn't.

Re: Closing of threads

That wouldn't be immaturity. It'd just be weird.

But, either way, alts or not, it doesn't make it any less annoying to have legitimate threads derailed and closed just because nwu/josh post it in and then 3 other kids have to jump in about them being alts.

Maybe Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
That would make it Dr. Josh and Mr. NWU

The only ones I have now are Joe Morgan and The Funny©, and they rarely, rarely post nowadays. The others are not mine. I wouldn't mind though if all of them were banned, including mine, but that's more work than Clay or Dee need to do. Again, the disappointing thing is that they need to police and babysit this board so much. It's kind of embarrassing in a way and reflects poorly on all of us.

+1 and before any 1 accuses me I have only had 1. Brandon Inge and he posted for 5 mins.

Re: Closing of threads

Everybody's at fault - and I'm not talking about just alternyms, but the need to be babysat and have Clay or Dee clean up messes. No need saying "before any 1 accuses me". We're all in the same boat.

I agree this is pretty much everyone's fault.

/facepalm/

Threads being closed, repetitive pro/con moderator debates, poor Bing now feeling the need to fire up the engines on a whole new forum...

Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

If it really is just a handful of disruptive chuckle-heads, drop the hammer on them, already (until they smarten up), and be done with it for crying out loud.

Sheesh.

Re: Closing of threads

Only Clay or Dee can do that.

And judging by the fact that metsguy has had temporary bans upwards of 10 times now, I don't see it happening.

Re: Closing of threads

Guys, Anti-Win and Anti-Fail are my alts. If they are really causing so much of a problem and getting on people's nerves, then I won't use them anymore. I really wouldn't even say that they are alts, as the only time I use them is to make bad jokes.

I'm sorry that you don't find legitimate threads being derailed and closed a problem, but a good amount of forum users do.
