Real Rules?

So now you are going to spam any thread I start? Olympics related or not?

Damn right.

What a sad, pathetic life you must have. You know who has no desire to be a total asshole? Happy people. People who hate are literally trying to make everyone as miserable as they are.

Truly the only reason you aren't getting all your posts removed, is because I am not an asshole. You are such a loser.

Go polish your badge, Kath. Cheap ass tin stars need constant attention, you know. No rest for the weary.

My empty threats are empty, dude. Chillax. I fully recognize an asshat's right to be an asshat. Just stay on their good side, I suppose. They run the forum, now, deciders of worthy topics and all.

I’ve stayed out of the whole Olympic/Hockey thing because it’s not my forum, and I don’t give a damn about hockey or the olympics.

I like a free-wheeling battleground and oppose gatekeepers and moderators in general because I recognize that their power can be used to stifle voices and censor points of view.

So, maintaining neutrality in the whole Olympic/hockey thing, I’d just say this - trying to bully someone off the forum by serial spamming their posts isn’t significantly different than trying to silence them through deleting their posts. One side uses moderators, the other a mob.

So if folk really do value an open forum, where no voices are censored, they should probably conduct themselves in a way that allows that.

If they don’t value an open forum, where all voices are heard, then they should shut the fuck up about their shit getting deleted.

I like your rebukes a lot (A LOT) better when they come from good old Kath, and not from Col. Kath, the commandant of Intertube Stalag 13.

And yet...

This is actually catballs... hockey talk style...

DB pioneered catballs back in the DCF...

I don't remember that getting moderated....

The way I see it the more you and Monte complain about it ... the more cat balls get posted...

Which is infantile and unnecessary...

But...

CAT BALLS ARE CONTROLLING THE FORUM...

not really...

[DBTrek]

Dude ... catballs made a single appearance in a thread to designate it as a dumpster fire.
No thread or poster was ever mass cat balled out of the entire conversation.

I've known you, through your posts, for what, 9 or 10 years now?

I'm pretty sure you have had methods available to you, personally, to correct bad behavior more subtle and deadly than "they should shut the fuck up about their shit getting deleted." In fact, I'm sure of it.

not really...

As I've explained,
-it was never really vindictive on DCF
-there were many more voices to drown out the two douchebags who can generate 30 pages in an hour while everyone else is sleeping, working or living their lives in other, non online ways.
-Nobody set out to intentionally spam thread after thread of the same topic, just because they didn't like the OP or the topic.

It was much harder to jack a thread on DCF. Much. Not comparable.

Plus, what DB said -

If you could help get me fired, that's be great. If I could block them, this would be a non-issue for me.
