A new mod is needed

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Most of the mods don't even log in. YOTN is probably the only active one as of now and he only hangs out in the off topic threads. I think it's a good idea and the front runner should be Example1.

Example1 would be a great mod. He's always online, gets along with pretty much everyone on the forum, he is well known, doesn't start or get into fights, and he's a nice person. Runners up should be VA Sox fan and Palodios. This is just a tought. I hope Yeszir takes this into consideration.

[Emmz]

Rivernator2004 is well on his way to a promotion. Just my two cents.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

looool. He'd be on the board 24/7. There would no longer be any problems on talksox.

[Emmz]

In all seriousness, I'd say Palodios.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

He's seems like a fair choice. Now we have to see if the boss will give him the job.

[Emmz]

I say we have an election.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

What makes you think he wants it ? Besides, Talksox isn't a democracy.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

We're just throwing out ideas. Chill the fuck out. If he doesn't want it then he doesn't want it. Done deal.

[Emmz]

I think its kind of just a for shits thread, if for nothing else to get the word out that a new mod or even two is kinda in need. The most active is YOTN and he doesn't even.log in much. The others sometimes dont even post for weeks. Some dont even log in. Kinda a valid concern. But yeah yeszir is obviously the emperor of talksox, regardless of what a700 says. sorry :<

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I'm just saying, there have been a number of offers made to members to be made Mods and they turned it down for various reasons. Sorry you're so sensitive. I made no offense to anyone.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

No apology needed. I thought you were coming off a bit snarky but it turns out you meant no harm.

[Emmz]

You're at your PM limit bro. :p

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I have no idea what you're talking about :D

[Palodios]

In all seriousness, I'd say Palodios.

Thanks for the nom. I'd consider it, although I would bet that I get a little too confrontational at times to be a mod here. That being said, I'd probably tone it down a bit if I had authority :lol:

[yeszir]

Apologies for the disgusting photos that slipped through. Looks like they stretched back to yesterday. When you see stuff like that PLEASE REPORT THE POSTS. The first reported post came through at 4 AM.

[yeszir]

But anyways, a new mod is something I've been thinking about for a while. Where's that Adam guy when you need him? Maybe we'll add someone else as activity picks up before the season.

[VA Sox Fan]

Most of the mods don't even log in. YOTN is probably the only active one as of now and he only hangs out in the off topic threads. I think it's a good idea and the front runner should be Example1.

Thanks but...:lol:LMAO:lol:

[Flynnatic10]

I agree with RSFFL. Let's wait until April for when activity picks up.

The place is running just fine. It's always been a very open forum where we have a lot of leeway. Every once in a while a crazy troll comes back and blows up almost immediately.

[Laser Show]

This board doesn't really need much moderation. It's not that huge, and everyone is well behaved for the most part

[BigPapiEnFuego]

I like the idea of Palodios as mod. If not him then me ;)

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

.....lol you're like never online.

[VA Sox Fan]

I think this place could use a new Mod.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

What'd I miss?

[Emmz]

A troll named Rivernator2004 got cut up because I said he's got psychological problems.

jacko used to go by The Rivernator.

[Emmz]

Yeah i know, I've read the old forums. And @ a700, he posted shock images and spammed and made weird thread titles. It was funny to think how pathetic your life has to be to do that stuff.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yes, I did. The guy was a troll

[VA Sox Fan]

Yes, I did. The guy was a troll

I know it wasn't you goofball. The troll must have posted here before a long time ago. It's not like rivernator was in the mainstream.

[Emmz]

It's that claybuccholz/nategrey dude, guarantee it. Idk who else that could be, but also pretty sure its the same dude as Reck.

[VA Sox Fan]

Reck is still an active member.

[a700hitter]

Reck is still an active member.He wouldn't be the first to have multiple screen names on TalkSox at the same time.

[VA Sox Fan]

He wouldn't be the first to have multiple screen names on TalkSox at the same time.

I know. Just hadn't seen him post in a while and when Emmz mentioned him, I assumed he had been banned but checked and he was not.

[Emmz]

You can fix IP.

[MANNYHOF24]

I wonder how Thumper's major leauge career is going?

[ForeverYoung]

You can fix IP.

Can't fix ARP Cache.

[Youk Of The Nation]

It always gets like this in the offseason. Less baseball discussion, so less posting. I tend not to get very interested in the minutiae of contract negotiations and arbitration and whatnot, mainly because I barely understand most of it. I'm more of a "just the actual baseball" kind of guy. Not very complicated, I know, but that's how it is.

Once the season starts, YZ, CD, and I will certainly be around a lot more. Everybody chill out, max, and relax all cool.

[Spudboy]

I wonder how Thumper's major leauge career is going?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Spudboy]

I agree that the board does not need much moderation at this point. But based on history, more active moderation will be needed. I think Pal would be an excellent choice. Emmz would be a solid choice too.

[Youk Of The Nation]

The reason this site 'needs more active moderation' is because of stuff like this.

Random people signing on and posting disgusting pictures happens to most websties like this one. Normally theyre gone within minutes, unless its at a certain time of night.

But the constant bickering, the responding to posts with insults and profanity EVERY SINGLE TIME someone says something you don't like, is the reason this place is the way it is. New people come here and see the way you all act and assume it's okay to do that too.

I went back through a couple random threads in the TalkSox forum. I can't even keep track of how many times I saw the words "idiot" and "stupid", not to mention entire phrases devoted to explaining your position on a trade or acquisition that instead of being factual, are filled with curses and shots at the people who disagree with you.

We've tried plenty of times to stop this, but every time we do it ends up being ignored. People will send us messages complaining about how someone is harrassing them and how we haven't banned them, and then do the exact same thing themselves to someone else. And when it does become too much for us to allow, and we ban someone for being antagonistic and obnoxious, half of you complain about how awesome that person was, even though they did exactly the same things you were complaining about, only not to you, to other people.

In other words, we do the best we can considering every single decision we make is harped on endlessly by half of the people here.

It may seem like we're not around, but often we are, we're just looking and not posting. Stuff will be taken care of. And when the regular season starts, it'll all be back to normal, and you can tell people they don't know what the fuck theyre talking about because theyre stupid and then send me a PM explaining that someone should be banned for telling you you dont know what the fuck youre talking about, and feel smug about it, and life can go on.

In conclusion, we do what we do for good reasons.

Why don't you back this up with some stats, asshole?


Just kidding, that was a great post. Too bad no one will really see it in this less visited area of the forum. I think you should go and post it in every high traffic thread of every section.

[Emmz]

Yeah, I totally agree even if I'm in the group of people who fight all the time. I don't think every person I hate needs to get banned. Even when an entire forum hates one person you shouldn't just ban that person unless they get completely out of control. I've seen what nazi/overreacting mods can do to kill a forum. However I also have seen what can happen when there's no active mod presence. So I see the point I guess?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Exactly. Trust me, weve considered banning every one of you at one time or another.

Especially you. Not a day goes by where I dont beg to ban a700hitter.

But its always 'fairness' this and 'you cant actually deliver an electrical shock through his computer' that.

Buzzkills, I tell you.

[Emmz]

You take the internet way too seriously dude.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I do not! Take that back or I'll drive all the way out to Minnesota and punch you!

[Emmz]

I'd make a counter threat, but you'd probably just enjoy it, you masochist.

Good post. I apologized after I realized he didn't mean in a bad way. Still doesn't change what I feel about having a new mod. Yeszir himself he was even considering a new mod. SOTK and MSU are like never here(but great posters). You, Coco, and Yeszir are the only active ones. Even during the season Yeszir wasn't on that much(at least towards the end). I'm not saying you guys are bad. You do a good job because dumbasses like Suns, GoBruins etc. are gone. I just wanted to bring it up for discussion. If some people like the idea than good, if not oh well we just move on.

[iortiz]

IMO the board is running well. Of course, it has had its ups and downs, but I think that as long as we respect each other beyond our opinions (agree/disagree), everything will be just fine. :)

We have discussed bringing in a new mod before. In fact, I suggested it a few months ago.

I am just saying that if we don't, it's not the end of the world. TS will be fine either way.

I know it wasn't you goofball. The troll must have posted here before a long time ago. It's not like rivernator was in the mainstream.

I think maybe it was billyboy. He was punished because he got caught by his mom smoking a cool, refreshing Mustang Menthol - with a lighter he stole from her. As he was grounded, all spinning kicks needed cyber-delivery.

WOOOOOOO!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[MDF3530]

I probably wouldn't last very long as a mod or an active member here since my first (and most likely last) act would be to reinstate Dipre.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I miss that guy. It's a shame the mods didn't see him the way others do.

You guys do realize he has a new account, right? He's Username?

Billy Ruane, however, is no joke.

The only problem is we'll never see him now with VH touring. He really needs to show up at one of the Fenway Brat shows and show them exactly what it means to be a quality front man for a Van Halen cover band.
