Mods on a power trip?

[williams22]

Here is the post I recently got an infraction from for "insulting other members". Apparently you aren't allowed to ask for honest and accurate records around here. Someone please tell me what is so insulting about my post:

Pauly, I think you need to check your math here. I have you at -5.6 units on the day with 3 single game losses, not 2. Please double check.

I call posters names, cuss them, say nasty ass stuff, and have never got an infraction. The mods must hate you

[Cougar Bait]

Unless your post was reported.

Profit is probably right though.

[Shortstop]

Williams, the mods obviously don't like you for some reason...

Yeah Willie Bee doesn't like me, I know that much. Whoever did it hid behind the "SBR Staff" screenname. Pretty pathetic that the mods gave me an infraction for keeping a guy honest. Too many frauds on this forum.

[Shortstop]

I highly doubt Pauly would report you, but I could be wrong...

[THE PROFIT]

Thats weird. I dont know how all that works really. If someone reports your post the mods dont have to give you an infraction. If that was the case someone could just click on posts of someone they dont like all the time. The mods must look at it & determine.

I have never reported any post. We are all adults here, except sammy & bobby, so they can close their eyes when something is on the screen that might harm their fragile young minds.There is all kinds of offensive stuff said here if you are easily offended. But if you're easily offended get off the fukin internet.

You didnt say anything in that post, so if it was reported it was from someone who doesnt like you, then you received an infraction because a mod doesnt like you.

I left the Rx because the mods were like Nazis & the posters were pussies. I never got an infraction, but fuk, you couldn't discuss anything without somebody being over sensitive & the mods got out of hand.

[minet123]

Yes some strange infractions going around lately

[williams22]

Yeah fukking ridiculous. God forbid people be kept honest. Pauly came and spammed my thread with about 40 posts afterwards for me pointing out his lies so hopefully he got some sort of punishment too. Mods need to get a life if they think what I said is "insulting other members".

[Shortstop]

Williams, do you and Pauly not get along for some reason?

[BGS 9.5]

I have tried forever to get an infraction, I just can't do it

epic fail

[BobHarvey]

Hey Williams,

Shorty and some of the others will tell you I'm a decent guy and don't have an agenda. But it seems to me that you've got your panties all bunched up because somebody was pissed you were going into their threads and correcting their math/aka making them look bad in their own thread.

When did SBR hire you to be the school monitor. Wouldn't it save a lot of problems if you just worried about your own stuff instead of others?

Do you blame the mods really? With all the childish crap that goes on. They don't pay them enough.

[williams22]

Williams, do you and Pauly not get along for some reason?

Never even interacted with him before today that I can recall. I posted the above post today and didn't even insult his picks or accuse him of fudging his record intentionally. He got incredible defensive, called me names, said I was wrong etc., so I just posted the math.

Here's a PM I just got from "SBR Staff":

First of all there was no category listed for "instigator" or spamming someone elses thread.

Why don't you give all the information when you bash the mods. Tell them that you aren't in charge of monitoring other posters.

It seems you left that out. I hate to be heavy handed but unless you tell both sides of the story I'm going to move that thread and future ones to the private zone.

I'll make this clear so you understand me. YOU my friend aren't in charge of keeping anyone honest. That's not your job. If you keeping doing it you probably will have your posting privileges restricted.

Now if that wasn't clear enough I don't know what else I can do or tell you.

I would refrain though from starting anymore mod bashing threads especially when you don't tell the WHOLE story.

These guys have it against me for some reason. No offense to any other posters, but this "attack" was about 100x more tame than a lot of stuff I see on here on a daily basis.

[Cougar Bait]

PZ in 3...2...1...

[Shortstop]

Williams, if you plan on sticking around here a while, it's probably not in your best interests to post PM's that are sent from moderators...

[THE PROFIT]

oh yeah, i forgot about the thread you made!! Thats just idiotic on you part.

[williams22]

Williams, if you plan on sticking around here a while, it's probably not in your best interests to post PM's that are sent from moderators...

Not my biggest concern. I haven't done anything wrong, it is ridiculous for them to be targeting me like this. For whatever reason they are treating me differently than most posters and I'm not exactly a fan of it.

Excellent post, Mr. Harvey!

[The General]

The last few days, records have been set with reported posts from the same people complaining about posters insulting them, but the kicker is the persons reporting are doing the same thing back. It's hard to clean-up when both parties are guilty of the same nonsense. Best to ignore, report and let mods handle it. Some just cannot let it go though and like kids have to try and have the last word.

[FishFace5]

1st of all who reports a post????
Who reads a post and gets so upset they feel the need to tattle tail like a small child.
What is the expected outcome of your snitching.
If I had to pick a side here I would go with will. Even if he did point out pauly's mistakes just to be an asshole who cares. If your fudging #'s and you get called out you should have to suck it up and move on.
.....And not for nothing but the PM from the anonymous mod was outrageous and uncalled for. Talk about trying to flex your internet power. Has to be from one of the old drunks trying to "teach will a lesson".

[pavyracer]

Some of the mods here couldn't manage a forum comprised of headless chicken. Sad but true. They can grab a dropout and make him a mod because he accepted the job offered for a dollar less than minimum wage.

[SBR Lou]

Sports forums are indeed moderated more heavily than our other subforums, and it's appreciated if the discussion is kept topical (limited to the plays shared) versus an argument on the poster's accounting, but an infraction here was overboard. It's been reversed.

[G's pks]

Guys try to be nice like me...

[paco]

Will, i think they dont like Lebron, thas why

Lou, you are the Dude.

...now go beat up Willie Bee, he needs it.

Thanks Lou, much appreciated.

[DrStale]

Wow, that's absolutely ridiculous.

He got an infraction because he pointed out that someone was posting a fraudulent record? Mind boggling. There are a lot of people who visit this forum and tail others based on their record, keeping everyones record accurate is a service to the forum.

Not only that, Williams is a stand up poster and Pauly is a complete lunatic. This is the most bizarre mod action ive ever seen on SBR.

Colossal failure on SBR's part.

Wow, some moderator really doesn't like you for some reason!

It was until Lou reversed it. Very nice of Lou.

I realize it not my job to keep people honest, but I don't see what's so wrong about pointing out a guy who is lying.

Yeah good call by Lou, but it should never have come to that.

It seems pretty clear that Pauly ran to the mods when you pointed his "inaccuracies" and for some reason the mod decided what you did was infraction worthy, despite the fact that people give others shit about their records all the time around here (i.e. Sammy, Zboiz). Oh well, at least they reversed it for ya.

[tltaylor89]

Williams I need 200 point loan.

[G's pks]

Lou ..I got an infraction last week in the tennisbob thread...could you get it reversed.... I feel it was uncalled for... thank you....

[eidolon]

go report one of jjgold's posts.

Hi G's,

E-mail forum@sbrforum.com to have an infraction reviewed. Sometimes a poster will get whistled for something and feel it was unjust, or that a touch foul was instead ruled as a flagrant. You can also always shoot me a PM and I'll give you my feedback.
