RE: A few "thank you's"..:)
Yes, you got a game, while a member is on the Blitz attacking other websites and their mods. You were AWOL while that was all happening. It was okay for POS to do that but the moment he said religion you were right there with a stern warning......hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................I found it very interesting that your mod duties in a thread that was going in the "wrong direction" finds the actions he needed to take was to get a game up.
I was invited to join the Blitz to have an opportunity to voice what Blitz had been doing with my scenarios. I never came to join a ladder that would take years to get anywhere on. I play lots of games of CM so what's your point Bootie? The fact that I don't report them? Why is that important if the sole purpose of the Blitz is to get gamers together?
What I'd like to say about Blitz policy is that it's for the favored few.
There are a very few members that can do as they wish. This thread went for more than a day before SG stepped in. The forum is supposedly moving to a CM only format. BUT that only seems to hold true for certain members and not all. POS can do and say pretty much whatever he wants. Only when MEMBERS started responding to his personal attacks did the Blitz management step in and even then it wasn't by a Mod but by SG.
You think you're sick to the teeth of it? You should be on this side, where time after time, in thread after thread ,a very few, and POS in particular, are allowed to do, or say, whatever they please on this forum. Then, when other members object they are the ones taken to task.
I'm kind of sick to the teeth of seeing those that question that kind of behavior here being the ones that get all the negative attention from the Mods. I guess it just depends on your perspective of which side of the fence your sick to the teeth on doesn't it. Either way, both sides are tired of this never ending soap opera.
The recently banned members were on other websites saying whatever. I have no idea since I never read those offensive posts. But HERE at the Blitz I see this! I see that we banned members for being offensive to the site and the management team. That it was unacceptable. And yet at the same time POS goes on a rampage and for a full day NOTHING IS SAID.
Now when the issue is being discussed we have Mods everywhere. One setting up games and the other wanting to close the thread. Great bit of moderating that turned out to be. SG did all the work and you guys are now in full attack mode to AGAIN take the side of the offender.
So, here's what I'd like to see as a member here. That the rules, ALL OF THEM, be applied to everybody equally. No banning people for their comments in PM's. Which if I had my way would never be used to discuss Blitz policy in the first place. Why do you need to hide what is said to begin with?
Will I ever report a ladder game? No. Would I like to work with the Blitz in the fashion that RD and I discussed when I first came here? Absolutely.
Will I get more involved in the Blitz itself while things stay the same?
Yadda yadda.......back to you Bootie. If you are really sick to the teeth of this then lets fix it for heavens sake. Otherwise it's going to keep right on coming back again and again....you claim to talk for the majority of members. That magic PM system again that nobody can get any confirmation from, well, I'm here in public saying to you I'm sick of it to. So, do something about it.
Start Moderating the forum like you agreed to do. But hold all the members to the same degree of accountability.
Good Hunting.
