Jag, you never really give insight or opinion so why do you care?  You either post a link/article, chime in like a lackey backing up certain people, or try to bait people into anger.  Is your last name Jackson or Sharpton?

As far as moving topics, this seems to be the only board where a mods actions get questioned non-stop.  Beserker is right in his support for BB's move and despite any one-on-one issues I have had with him, he and BB do a good job.

Thanks mang.   :)  I do think some people place a bit too much emphasis on what goes on here.

guys, there is actually very little deleting or moving in political.  We set it up to be that way and from what I can see it's still that way and that's the way I want it to be.  The other major forums on getbig do way more merging, deleting and moving by far.

Berserker and Ozmo both posted in it and didn't move it. It was moved to the Religious board to kill it.

I'm curious when is the last time those guys had any issues with moving threads? I can't quite remember anything other than that psycho Jimmy spamming the board with nonsense.

Is there any reason you're not addressing what I told you?  Whether you like it or not and no matter the motive, it's a valid move.  You can so easily remedy this with what I told you.  It's so easy.  Go to the thread, modify your original post adding the political angle.  Ask Stella to move your thread back and I bet you won't have a problem for one single second.  Had the political angle been posted, I would be siding against BB right now.

You still haven't told me why you posted in the thread instead of moving it. No offense but I find your fix to be absurd, a moron could see the political angle of the thread. Making me post one sentence is ridiculous. We are all adults and we're all able to debate without idiotic one line sentences designed to appease power hungry mods.

This board has always been open to great debates without the censoring, why change that now?

i don;t think I've ever actually moved a thread.  I've deleted quite a few though.   ;D

But really everyone.......


Chill out.   lay off the red bulls. 

Everything is going to be fine.  No need to make mountains out of mole hills.

I posted on that thread when it was on the religious board and i could care less if it was on either board. 

In reality it should have been on the pet board.

I'm sorry, you are correct. You said you didn't move it because you saw the political side of the story.

You know I respect your opinion so I'll let it go. Although I find it telling that neither Berserker or yourself either moved the thread or would have moved the thread. This board has always been well behaved and not overly modded, hopefully it will stay that way.

Also, why would that be an absurd fix?   I expect that even of myself!  As I told you, I am mindful when posting that the post be made in such a way the political angle is obvious to all.  When the forum first started, I had to really make sure of this.  Why on earth would that be hard to do :-\  Seems like an easy fix to me, it's not like anyone is asking you to lose a point.  It's not a "score" against you.  I would like to see the thread brought back.  If it happened to me, I would not in the least bit be put off and would have no problem adding a line pointing out the political hypocrisy of the incident and having Stella move it back.  In fact, you don't even have to do that if you don't want to!  BB said if you want to move it back to go ahead.  I  point out the fix to prevent future threads from being moved.  Not everyone is going to see what you and I do or 240 or whoever.  It's not a big request and it's fair.

OK, this will be my last post on the topic.

It's an absurd fix because anyone without an agenda could see the political side of the story. In fact you yourself saw it. Forcing me to change something in a thread that two mods had no problem with is ridiculous.

As I said, this has never been a board where the mods did much policing and because of that the board has thrived. In the last few weeks that has changed, I'm hoping it isn't a new agenda. Time will tell.

It's not a new agenda, I still think over policing kills the forum and should be kept to a min and just last week you saw me side on that matter.  Please keep in mind that there is more to making a political point than just appeasing BB or me.  It's also for the benefit/respect of the other forums like religious.  If we did not ask this of the people posting here, our mods would have no grounds in asking that political threads be moved here.  As a general rule of thumb, it would not hurt to post political angles when part of the topic has to do with another forum created for that area.  Such as a movie.  If I just up and post about V for Vendetta and said what a great movie and assumed people know why I think so, that's not fair to the Entertainment board.  So If I posted about V I would point out why or make some point that makes the posting in political obvious.
