Should we change the description of it?
Current description:
Discussion on anything that goes with mixed martial arts.
New description:
Discussion on UFC, mixed martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, Ju Jitsu, submission wrestling and fighting in general.
Any ideas..

I believe by opening the board up to a more MMA/Combat style of discussion, then there will be more of a variety. I appreciate the way the MMA board is setup right now, and have no qualms if it is modified.
Everything welcome minus unorthodox styles (ie. street fights, back yard brawls, knife fights, et. al.)

Yeah, de-mod Bluto, Ron. No one else has a problem with boxing and everything else being in here. Why don't you stop appeasing the little kid and listen to what 99.99% of the people who post here want? You still avoid giving an explanation as to why you gave ChuteBoxe's mod spot to Bluto, when no one here wanted that. Gave in to his incessant pm's?

How about de-modding you and putting in a mod the posters actually want. Not some kid playing pretend while turning this board into the shithole it is today.

Then you should have no problem giving up your moderator spot. It is only the internet, after all.

If you called it the "Combat Sports" board, it would encompass everything you listed.

Agreed, this wouldnt be an issue if Bluto hadn't started changing perfectly fine thread titles, posts, threatening to ban posters, and starting arguments with numerous people that he normally loses. Before, nobody ever had a problem with any of this until he made it a problem.

Agreed bro. I used to moderate old board 3 for years back before we had this new layout and not once did I ever insult anyone or use my status in a negative way. A Moderator is someone who is held in high regard and tries to take an unbiased approach to the topic at hand. Bluto is one of the worst Moderators I have ever seen in the 10 years I have been on this board or others I belong too.
I VTB him.
There is nothing wrong with the name of the board.

Agreed Ron, I don't think you should have to do shit to the board. Who cares if the board says the punching kicking submission board? We all know what gets talked about down here, it is FIGHTING! Wether it be UFC, K-1, WEC, XFS, Pride, Affliction, or the fucking WBA champions. It's all relavent to fighting. That's why we talk on this board, because we enjoy watching, training, or straight up think were tough guys. Bluto just has to always start shit, hence why he wouldn't allow a boxing thread to stay on here. REALLY, IS IT THAT SERIOUS? Ron this should just prove what so many of us have been saying, bluto is here just to start shit and is very unknowledgeable when it comes to what is talked about on this board. IMHO, I am sure there will be more that speak there opinion on how there are many others who would do a much better justice to this board, over Bluto.

Very well said bro. I agree with you 100 percent.............

Here's what Bluto PM'ed me with
I've done it all, name one person that's done more - hell I can do better than that - you can combine 20 persons and I'll still come out on top.
he 's been melting down pretty badly since his mod status has been challenged by practically all of the MMA board
Replace him with someone who actually understands MMA and running a board
He's done nothing but troll here

Mod power is not power, it's the fact that you enjoy the board and want to take the time to regulate it and help it continue to thrive. Bluto keeps it running by pissing everyone off and posting stupid irrelevant shit, like his picture of fight club? What the fuck does that do to contribute to the conversation?

He thinks that by provoking the board with some lameass comment he's helping it grow. It shows how truly immature and troll-like he is.
He's not interested in stimulating a discussion or analysis - he just wants throw around dumbass comments that do nothing but irritate REAL fans of MMA.
I'm glad Ron wants to step in and improve the board
Step 1- kick out the troll that is bluto
The majority has spoken- bluto sucks and blows :D
-
Yea Ron you should get rid of Bluto. You can see he isn't very well liked here.
-
Then you should have no problem giving up your moderator spot. It is only the internet, after all.
Remember who you're talking too buddy. ;D
-

I haven't changed either titles or posts. Ron can verifiy this. Sincity has though. He altered posts and deleted posts. But you being a hypocrite have of course nothing to say about that because he's your "buddy".
-
A Moderator is someone who is held in high regard and tries to take an unbiased approach to the topic at hand.
I disagree. As moderators we don't have to be unbiased, both me and MindSpin have our favorites when it comes to fighters etc. Just as Hedgehog and mods on the G&0 have theirs when it comes to bodybuilding.
-
Bluto keeps it running by pissing everyone off and posting stupid irrelevant shit, like his picture of fight club? What the fuck does that do to contribute to the conversation?
It wasn't irrelevant. It was a picture used to illustrated the suggestion of a name change along with a new description for the board, as requested by Ron.
-
Let's try sticking to the subject here.
Feel free to post any suggestions of a new name change and/or description.
-
I haven't changed either titles or posts. Check with Ron if you don't believe me. Sincity has though. He altered posts and deleted posts. But you being a hypocrite have of course nothing to say about that because he's your "buddy".
One recent example, who changed my "Boxing or K-1?" thread title to, "Is boxing a part of MMA ?" I know it sure as hell wasn't me. Why are you trying to pass the blame now that it's apparent that many people have a problem with you and the way you conduct yourself here and the way you unintellegently approach the subject of combative sports? This isn't the first time you do this, you do a shitty job, a bunch of people complain, then Ron shows up and all of the sudden you get a halo around your head and try to act as if you've done nothing wrong.

Wasn't me either. I can ask Ron about it when he gets back from Tampa.

Hah ha ha
Bluto is now cornered and is now trying to exonerate himself.
Epic multiple posts to justify yourself- Blut-owned
:D

Maybe have mod that actually knows something about fighting instead of being a soccer hooligan.
-

It wasn't me so who the FUCK WOULD IT BE?
-

Ron or MS. I'll go check if it's important to you.
-
How about keeping the MMA board but have sub folders? Like a board for videos, different organizations things like that.
I would also be happy to help mod the MMA board.
-

Yeah Ron and mindspin ::) - two people who are usually absent from the board suddenly pop in and move a thread for some mysterious reason ???
Nice reasoning nancy drew ;D

That's an idea. Personally I don't think there's enough activity on here to warrant it. All this drama about Boxing is very misleading. The truth is that the cut and paste threads on Boxing from for example ChuteBoxe on average has less than a dozen replies.
So this whole debate is really a tempest in a teapot.

Maybe You and Sin should be mods.
Anyone other than that misguided fool bluto
He's a worthless troll with nothing else to live for
The board will be a better place without him
-
Ron, how many people need to complain before you shit can this guy for good? Jesus, it's pathetic that you let him continually mod here when people have wanted him gone since day one. He does NOTHING for this board and only exists to make it his little playground and drive the best posters off. The board was perfect when ChuteBoxe had moderator. The guy knows MMA and actually trains it. Bluto plays pretend in his basement. I understand that he pm's you upwards of 50 times a day when he gets de-modded but this is bullshit. The guy has driven off a number of posters that actually know MMA.
The solution is pretty simple. EVERYONE wants ChuteBoxe in there. No one wants Bluto. Don't let another sub-forum decline into the mediocrity of some of the other ones.

Maybe. I'll talk to the mods on the G&O and Sports board so they'll move all boxing related threads to here. :)

Even more reason for you to have left the boxing threads, and the people who post in them alone, and don't act like all of your posts aren't cut and paste threads either.

Exactly- has to be the dumbest mod in the history of the internet. Someone get this fool Bluto an application to the Guinness book of Records
:D

I couldn't. As a moderator it's part of my duties to move threads to the appropriate board. The established norm was that Boxing threads goes on the Sports board. I was just doing my job. Nothing personal.
Now when Ron, who is the one that calls the shots, not you, not me, decided that Boxing will be a part of the "MMA" board things have changed. Not only will I not move the threads I will also talk to the mods of the G&O and Sports and have them move Boxing threads here. :)

Is it also part of your duties to be a douchebag?
Nahh...I think that's just your natural instinct
-
Been off the boards for a couple of weeks. Just now catching up on some threads and came across this one. Have not read it all the way through, but I will say that while I may not always agree with Bluto, he is a great mod for this board and he is not going anywhere.
-
There needs to be ground rules on what can and cannot stay on this board, and thus, we will make them, and fine a way to agree with all.
Looking at what Bluto has done, he tried to keep the spirit of the board, same with Sin and others.
All mods are disabled until I come back Sunday night, so we can discuss, without anyone moving threads or editing them.
I need common ground here. the positives of mods and not always the negatives.

There are no positives with Bluto, Ron. The guy does NOTHING for this board. He claims he makes good threads. In reality, he just copy pastes 99% of the posts on Sherdog, MMA underground and the other various sites on the web. If we were looking for that info., we would just go there.
Milfer or whoever it was set up the betting game. It was running smoothly and fine. Bluto, who knows jack shit about MMA, couldn't even get half his predictions right. So, he started changing the rules on his own, changing people's picks, removing posts, making decrees. He pretty much just about ran the game into the ground until he finally backed off after enough people bitched.
Next we have him just shitting all over all the good threads here. The Fedor p4p thread was going great until Bluto de-railed it by saying that Fedor wasn't the best HW. So, instead of refuting his statements, he just continued to shit all over it? What ended up happening? The thread went straight into the garbage.
He also moves threads that he doesn't agree with, yet they fit into this board perfectly. Boxing threads belong here more than "What fighter has the best physique?" and the other Bluto threads he links here.
To continue on, he also deletes moderators posts. SinCity was moderator before Bluto, is well received here, and yet Bluto is constantly moving and deleting his posts as if he is King here.
You're letting a 12 year old kid with absolutely zero knowledge of MMA run this board into the ground.
I don't understand why you won't put it to a vote. 99% of the people posting in this thread want the child gone. ChuteBoxe was running this board terrifically, he knows MMA, actually trains it, and isn't a complete douche bag. Just put it to a vote.

I tend to agree a bit with Dreadlord. I am a newcomer here, but I would like to feel at home with all of you lads. I noticed that he was asked a question a couple times in regards to his insight about a certain subject(s). He would sort of lash out and avoid the subject. I approached this, and was PM'ed several times. These PM's had nothing to do with the subject. Eventually they ceased. I definitely appreciate how MS, yourself, and the impressive SCSG keep things professional here. You all have excellent insight without going to short lengths to cut and paste information. I say put it to a vote, and let the community decide. That way there are no hard feelings either way.
-
Bluto has a fragile ego- he can dish it out but can't take it. He then resorts to PM's to try to justify himself or bully his target. Who knows how many people he has used this tactic on.
In the case of Ironwarrior and me - after recieving his rants via PM we just laughed at him because we know what a moron he really is. How many other members has he tried to pull this stunt on in the past?
Ironwarrior is a newcomer to the board and has made a number of good contributions to help the board grow. Is this the welcome he gets? Getting multiple PM's from a braindead idiot who doesn't have a clue about MMA beyond his TUF observations. At this rate all the good posters will go elsewhere. After all who wants to put up with bluto's bullshit.
Bluto is a petulant child who thinks he can bully his way around the board and get away with it unchallenged. I'm certainly not going to tolerate that type of behavior and neither should anyone else. I think we need to have a proper vote and present Ron with the final results. If bluto has done a great job the vote will show it. If everyone thinks he sucks the vote will reflect that as well. We need a mod that makes this board a place where MMA fans can hang out and shoot the shit. Not a place for petty provocations and moving threads to suit one persons agendas.
Let the people decide who should MOD.

Thanks MS!
-

There are.
First we have the standard rules, for example - a thread that goes off-topic and gets to be about mod complaints gets moved to the complaints board.
For me and MindSpin (who between us moderate 8 boards and have been here for 4-5 years) this is a no-brainer.
However, for an inexperienced mod like Sincitysmallguy, who thinks he stands above the rules "I have every right to make any thread I want on this board" (this is an actual quote!) it is not.
Not only did he screw up by being one of the most active in making the thread (that was supposed to be about whether we should allow boxing) go off-topic - he then screwed up even more by making a thread complaining about it being moved. (which I locked, again STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Second since you've decided that Boxing and other combat sports should be part of the MMA board there's no longer a need to discuss it. I have talked with both moderators on the Sports board and they're ok with it and there's no conflict of interest. They will move all Boxing threads to the MMA board in the future.
I will also talk to the moderators on the G&O (who until now has moved them to the Sports board) so they too will move them here.
You also asked for a new description for the new "MMA" board and I suggested the name Fight Club (since it's no longer just about MMA it shouldn't be called Mixed Martial Arts) and with the description "Discussion on Mixed Martial Arts & other combat sports".

bluto would be a better mod
if he didn't throw childish tantrums about getting his own way
and abuse the privelege
he feels it is necessary to over moderate all the time which annoys others
i don't have a problem with him staying mod if he grows up a bit

I vote for Bluto to stay too. I think he does a good job adding content and he runs the betting threads which has attracted more and more people here. He just needs to stay away from off topic bickering on here is all. I say put Chute back on too, he never did anything to get taken off in the first place. And for the third mod spot I say put on someone who will actually give the board 30 minutes a month and update our betting tallies, it's a shame they stopped being added.
-
So that's two people that want Bluto to stay and upwards of two dozen that want him gone. The writing's on the wall Ron. Boot the piece of shit. Give him another Z board to ejaculate all over or something.

I actually do agree with you on that BF. There is no reason to have a moderator on here if the whole focus is going to be everyone just arguing with him all the time. There are plenty of boards for that, no reason to turn the MMA into an alpha. I honestly think that Bluto has done a better job than SCSG and MS here, but I am sick of reading thread after thread about people just arguing about who is the mod or other petty shit.

Bluto's biggest problem is that when he doesn't get his way or gets called out on something, he conducts himself like a four year old and throws a temper tantrum.
Instead of saying so and so won the betting threads, he tries to change the rules and modify things so that a guy he doesn't like (i.e. ChuteBoxe) doesn't win. Instead of congratulating him for winning both cards, he threw a temper tantrum and tried to rule out a fight because he decided not to bet it.
He even went so far as to delete the entire thread when he got embarrassed a couple of events ago. That was a slap in the face to the guy running it.
Instead of defending his claim that Fedor isn't the best p4p or even the best HW, he completely derails the thread and turns it into a bitch fest. He exists to stir shit up. That's what trolls do, not moderators.
ChuteBoxe had this board running excellently, actually trains MMA and contributes more than copy/pasted articles and headlines from Sherdog and the other MMA sites.
On top of that, he shows no respect to the other mods and moves SCSG's posts and anyone's post that he doesn't like. That is ridiculous. A mod should contribute and keep the board running smoothly, not derail it while trying to establish your own personal dictatorship on it.
This board went from being a good source to talk about MMA to Bluto's own personal playground.
-
I don't think it is all Blutos fault as he is provoked all the time. As far as content and being around at the important times(big fights), Bluto is second to none imo. Hopefully all the stupid bickering will end and we can just talk about MMA again.
-
In reality, he just copy pastes 99% of the posts on Sherdog, MMA underground and the other various sites on the web. If we were looking for that info., we would just go there.
I disagree.
First of all cut n paste is an essential ingredient of the MMA board. Just as it is of Sherdog and other sites. Look at my post "BJ Penn ready to own two divisions starting this December" that I posted yesterday for example, it already got 96 views and 5 replies and unless onlyme can hook me up with BJ Penn personally I can't figure out how else I would've gotten hold of that news.
Second cut n paste is something ALL moderators do as well as a number of users, including for example ChuteBoxe which means when you criticize me - you criticize them.
It's a good thing you have no say on how we run things here because your views above is not shared with the rest of the board.
Milfer or whoever it was set up the betting game. It was running smoothly and fine. Bluto, who knows jack shit about MMA, couldn't even get half his predictions right. So, he started changing the rules on his own, changing people's picks, removing posts, making decrees. He pretty much just about ran the game into the ground until he finally backed off after enough people bitched.
Completely false.
I set up the betting game and I'm the one that asked Milfer to do the calculating (I originally asked Geo but he declined). I'm also among the top betters, month after month. I haven't changed the rules, I haven't changed peoples picks, I haven't removed posts and the betting game has a steady number of people betting show after show (the total number increased 3-4 times since the beginning)
The Fedor p4p thread was going great until Bluto de-railed it by saying that Fedor wasn't the best HW.
Not true. I've never said that.
To continue on, he also deletes moderators posts. SinCity was moderator before Bluto, is well received here, and yet Bluto is constantly moving and deleting his posts as if he is King here.
You seem confused. Let me clear this up for you:
I haven't deleted any of his posts. He on the other hand have deleted numerous posts from me, including a reply to you the other day.
I very rarely move posts, but I will it it's necessary and they go against the rules and I don't care if they're started by a moderator or not. You see the only person who thinks he is the king here is the man that this quote is from:
"I have every right to make any thread I want on this board."
And that's your buddy Sincity talking.
-
I approached this, and was PM'ed several times. These PM's had nothing to do with the subject.
If PM's have nothing to do with the subject, then there's little point in bringing them up here. People PM eachother all the time. PM's a great way to argue about things you don't want to argue about publically.
For example, Sincity should've PM'ed me instead of having a meltdown creating a new thread about why an older thread was moved. That's how it works everywhere else on Getbig, you think the people of the G&0 create a thread bitching at the moderators everytime a thread is moved?
the impressive SCSG keep things professional here.
For the record, maybe you should tell people that SCSG in fact is your BUDDY, kinda put things in perspective doesn't it? No wonder you think he's "impressive" and "professional".
Nepotism at it's best.

why don't you step down bluto
it seems the regulars on here apart from danny
want you to
you have plenty of other boards to mod

Absolutely not. It's nothing personal, but when a user bets on fights practically nobody else bet on and that was added the last minute it gives an unfair advantage. What's the point in going against others to see who's best when not everybody is betting on an equal number of fights?
I've discussed this with ChuteBoxe a number of times and he can't defend his position.
-

Empty cans rattle the most.
-
Empty cans rattle the most.
don't avoid the question
why would you want to mod here
when you are so unpopular
are you that desperate to be in control
-
Exactly my point with Bluto. I see several replies in attempts to defend his reputation. I don't care to be PM'ed by Bluto. I said I have my reasons that I feel there are others more capable of a MMA moderator spot, and that should be that. I'll bring up anything I feel necessary, brah. So don't try and tell me what is not necessary. As for Sin, yeah he is a good friend, and his knowledge of MMA goes way beyond these boards.
I understand there is arguing amongst the two of you, but something has got to give. I with BF about going along with the community. Sure, there a couple of lads that agree that Bluto should stay, but the majority of us see the tantrums or the childish appoach through PM's to start an arguement.
Back to the topic, Boxing should have the freedom if inclusion in these threads. Excellent style of fighting that brings more discussion, and a variety to the best board on GB: IMHO.
-
don't avoid the question
why would you want to mod here
when you are so unpopular
are you that desperate to be in control
Because I remember how it was before I got to mod here. It was what I refer to as the "dark ages" of the MMA board.
Moderating isn't a popularity contest, in fact it's good not to be too popular, makes you neutral, unbiased and independent.
-
I've now talked to the mods on the G&O as well, they will move any Boxing threads from there to here.

And it only took a totally unanimous vote against you and Ron shutting down you mod powers to do it. Damn, you are incompetent.

There's been no vote. Sincity is a loose cannon who had a meltdown. Ron's a busy man and off to Tampa, he can't risk Sincity following in the footsteps of his buddy ChuteBoxe and starting to delete threads to the left and right so he rather play it safe and demod everybody for the time being.
That's perfectly understandable.
Regarding Boxing, I talked to the other mods BEFORE that happend. You should be happy. This means there'll be more threads about Boxing on here than ever before.
-
For a second I thought this was Ron's site and he, not the cheap seats, got to decide who was a moderator. My mistake...

As far I can tell Sincity moved my two boxing threads back when they should have. That was the right thing to do. You let this power you have go to your head and it affects your ability to give the board what they want. You can ramble on about your "following the rules" bullshit but the fact of the matter is if you actually listened to the members on here and quit acting like a computer geek with no life who has to win every little argument that comes your way, then maybe your approval rating wouldn't be in the sewer and we could get some meaningful discussions going on. Your style of moderating might be good for the Alphabet boards discussions where everyone is just goofing around but it does not serve an MMA board very well.
As far as the boxing is concerned, you were dead wrong... people do want that subject here. Maybe you wouldn't be sitting here with your moderating powers suspended if you had realized that. Sincity and Chuteboxe realized that people on here enjoy to discuss boxing. YOU did jack shit except try to keep it off the board even when the unanimous majority supported the idea. It was a day later when you totally did a 180 and decided the name "Fight Club" should be used just to save face.
By the way, now that Boxing appears to be a mainstay on this board, I would even venture to say that Chuteboxe is even more qualified than ever to take over the moderator job. He knows TONS about boxing, you know next to nothing. He generally beats you with the MMA predictions. I can actually come to him and discuss certain things that would improve the board, while it's a waste of time discussing anything with you because you always give this "better than thou" vibe. Chuteboxe actually trains MMA, while you sit at your computer lying about dating supermodels, working out a 6 day double split, having years of MMA training experience.
Guys like you are fit to Mod the alphabet boards where you can go in there and joke around, and believe me those boards do have their place on getbig.com. But I just can't see how the MMA board can ever be taken serious when a guy like you is moderating it, there are just better choices to replace you... plain and simple.
-

It was the wrong thing to do. As much as we love the MMA board everything on Getbig doesn't circle around it. It's just one board of many. We cannot just bulldoze other boards because we feel like it when there's a conflict of interest. I'm all about giving people what they want, but not at the expense of others.
If you had it your way, the MMA board would be an "anything goes" type of board, hell you've made two posts about American Football already today, where does it end with you?
YOU did jack shit except try to keep it off the board even when the unanimous majority supported the idea. It was a day later when you totally did a 180 and decided the name "Fight Club" should be used just to save face.
The majority on here never voiced their opinion about Boxing, the few threads on Boxing that's been on here (for example those posted by ChuteBoxe) has less than half a dozen people participating in them. When Ron officially posted that Boxing should be on the MMA board then and only then did I change.
HE makes the rules. Not you. Not me.

Well said.
Bluto somehow seems to think that he is responsible for the growth of the MMA board and bringing it out of the dark ages as he likes to call it when in reality it took the work of the mods AND the regular posters to make it grow. Calling the regulars "empty cans" shows the type of disdainful attitude bluto has towards the regular posters in general. Whenever he gets challenged over some retarded post he makes - his reaction is to respond like a brat via PM? Is he really that insecure about himself that he has to resort to such childish tactics? Apparently now he's convinced that Bezerkfury and I are the same person even though he has failed to provide concrete evidence other than the the fact that we have both called him mental midget. ;D
-
So, I made a couple (well now three) comments about football, and you are in subtle way chastising me for it. You really need to calm down.
-
Watching this kid flat out lie as he desperately tries to save face is disgusting. Fact of the matter is that 99% of the people posting in this thread want him gone.
Bluto didn't make this board. ChuteBoxe, Scimowser and the other old mods did. Bluto wormed his way into the moderator position by constantly bombarding Ron with pm's and has since managed to destroy everything that was interesting about this board.
Betting game - ruined by Bluto's temper tantrums due to his embarrassing results.
Threads started by people he doesn't like - Moved and/or deleted.
Every Bluto thread copy/pasted from the major MMA sites.
No one wants you here Bluto. Step down. Or at least stop being a little bitch and let the board vote for who should have your moderator spot. There is ZERO reason as to why you should keep moderator here. This board is not your playground.
-
RON overruled blutos petty tantrums and determined that boxing threads belong here. That ended blutos little attempt at powerplay in its tracks.
He has to be the only mod on this board who tries to stir up shit whenever he posts. Bluedevil is another retard but at least he sticks to his own board unlike bluto who has verbal diarrhea all over getbig and the meltsdown and cries when he gets hit back. Classic case of a bully who had the tables turned on him.
-

Of course not. It's a combined effort.
Calling the regulars "empty cans" shows the type of disdainful attitude bluto has towards the regular posters in general.
There's a hell lot of regulars on here, I'm refering to the few that do more harm than good. Most I wouldn't even call regulars, they just show up to take a shot at me because they have an axe to grind or because they feel they should support their "buddy" when he's losing an argument.

So you thought i had an axe to grind with you? I never even bothered with you until you posted your ridiculous Fedor thread in a clear attempt to provoke the board. Instead of debating me on the thread on valid points you resorted to PM's? Are you that weak willed?
-
Bluto went months without posting here. He only showed up and started firing off posts when it became apparent that Scimowser was leaving his moderator spot. The kid is an attention whoring cry baby.
He's also succeeded in running most of the regulars off of here with his bullshit and destruction of this board.
STEP DOWN BLUTO. 99%+ of the board doesn't want you here.

You didn't destroy shit. I didn't bother reading your posts because you are far and away THE most blatant liar on this forum. Every story, comment and move you make is justified through lies and bullshit.
No one wants you here Bluto. Look at this thread. Two people said you should stay. Almost two dozen want you gone. Stop being a little bitch and trying to hold on to something that's not yours.
You've turned this board into a laughing stock. It's not your playground. It's a board to discuss MMA. Not a place for you to destroy a betting game for dozens of people after you lose. Not a place for you to move threads of people you don't like. Not a place for you to set up your shitty little dictatorship.
You're a child. And a shitty MMA board moderator.
GIVE CHUTEBOXE HIS MODERATOR POSITION BACK, RON. ENOUGH OF THESE CHILDREN'S GAMES.

Meltdown!

Really? You did nothing but deny the points you made a few posts before. In the end you ran away from the thread without posting a proper response to the barnett vs Fedor analysis. As for you destroying my arguments- that's laughable just like you're fragile ego
Now you're posturing up to cover the fact that you never made any valid point and had the thread deleted to cover up your own retarded lies and vague comments. Maybe you think everyone has suddenly developed amnesia over your childish comments.
-
Oh shit.
Meltdown!
oh shit
Denial :D
-
Oh shit.
Meltdown!
No meltdown. Just making sure Ron can see and read what 99% of the people here want. You're trying so hard to desperately hold on to your moderator spot here. You don't deserve nor warrant it.
ChuteBoxe was 10x better than you, had this board running excellently. You managed to destroy everything good about it. Congratulations, you're a twelve year old masquerading as someone who's "cage fought" for 20 years. ::)

WOW- are you that stupid?
I was mocking you and you think I'm him again.
No wonder you are mental midget.
Thanks for underlining that point so well.... again
.
The best way to settle this would be to have RON check both accounts and OWN you again.
-
I don't think I've ever seen BerzerkFury/Dreadlord melting so bad, he got so carried away that he forgot which account he was posting on for a second and revealed himself.
Jesus. Take a chill pill. Relax.
It's just the Internet.

Maybe if you understood that you wouldn't have melted down and cried like a baby via PM
Thanks for owning yourself again.
Lets settle this BF duplicate account things by having RON make that determination via IP check
I know how badly you've been melting down over the both of us owning you so regularly ;D
-
blah blah blah excuses excuses
Coming from A GAYTROLL like you that's laughable.
Take your shit off the MMA board - this is hardly the place to be tainted by your stupidity. We already have one retard here - Bluto. That's all we need.
take that crap to the V board
Thanks for playing.

Thats why RON should be making this determination. You think I'm BF because i laughed at your response? WOW. Nice logic there bluto - that's only to be expected by someone as retarded as you.
Congratulations for pointing that out again
Why are you so afraid of being proved wrong? Let RON take a look and decide.
Too scared that you will be proved wrong...again?
:D
-
initially i wasn't going to get involved in this debate but since dreadlord brought my name up i have no other option than to give my honest and balanced opinion
bluto has done a fine job for the time he's been a mod here, some disagreements but hey that's part of a debate. however some people feel the need to attack the guy based on events that took place on other boards. i agree with danielson that this kind of behavior belongs on the alphabet boards.
in the end it's up to ron to decide who will and who won't end up to be a mod here
bluto has my vote !
-
BD, I agree.
I'm out for a beer. Catch you later guys.

Coming from someone who deleted the posts of our "discussion" :D to hide his embarrassment - you're hardly someone to talk about fair and balanced.
You're right about one thing- it is ROn's decision. In the meantime maybe he can check this duplicate account fantasy bluto seems to be having and make a ruling on that as well and end this pointless debate once and for all
-
The collective conscience that is the MMA board has voted. The overwhelming majority (99%) want Bluto removed from his moderator position. BlueDevil has no say as he has NEVER posted on this board.
Ron, why would you leave someone moderator when 99% of the board doesn't want him moderating? It makes zero sense.
-

there you go again, you're mixing things up, this is not the v and like i said before i had no intention of getting mixed up in this discussion since i only read the threads here and don't participate in discussions but you just had to mention my name
if you want to discuss subjects regarding the v than let's do so on the appropriate board

I didn't bring up your name in reference to MMA board discussion - i brought up your name to provide an example of another mod on getbig who is too invested in his online persona. Nothing personal-just business

hmm- you and bluto share the word innit don't you? ;D
See you on the V

If I were a mod I'd lock this thread.

I'm out for a beer. Catch you later guys.
At least wait a few posts before agreeing with yourself, geeze.

as an impartial person, bluto has my vote as mod for the mma board
quick glance around it seems like hes done a great job on here
-
I love how the regulars minus Danny and Geo want Bluto gone, then his V board buddies show up and start to act like their vote means shit around here? All you team Nasser fella's should be down on the V shouldn't you? When you start posting on this board your opinion matters. Until then you should kick it on the V and do what ever it is that you do on that land fill.

Yeah it's pretty pathetic, bringing out all his troll buddies from the alphabet boards. Do a quick look around on the V and Z boards and you will quickly see that they are just as lame as he is.

It was only a matter of time. The dork is standing on his last legs, so he's trying to pull out of all the stops. Hopefully Ron is smart enough to see that neither BlueDevil nor NaturalFag have ever posted here.

I don't give a shit who moderates this board, as long as good MMA threads stop getting hijacked by this political bullshit...

Ha ha ha- this is going to be interesting

There needs to be ground rules on what can and cannot stay on this board, and thus, we will make them, and fine a way to agree with all.
Looking at what Bluto has done, he tried to keep the spirit of the board, same with Sin and others.
All mods are disabled until I come back Sunday night, so we can discuss, without anyone moving threads or editing them.
I need common ground here. the positives of mods and not always the negatives.
Hello everyone
so who're the mods now? i think berzerkfury, dreadlord, sin, chute and onlyme should be along the nominees, just my 2 cents..
-
Taking a quick glance at the front page, there are 3 Bluto threads with a combined 4 posts among them. Guess it DOESN'T pay to copy/paste every headline from Sherdog these days.
Ron, put it to a vote for the last moderator spot already. No one has any problems with SinCity and Mindspin, they do a good job.
I GUARANTEE ChuteBoxe or another post will end up with more votes than Bluto. I'm willing to bet my account on the majority of the MMA board posters doing it.
-

Welcome to the MMA group. What are your thoughts on making Boxing part of this MMA board ?
-

??? I don't think Ron has really seen what has become of not only the MMA board, but this forum as a whole.Horrible, obvious gimmicks kill the place while idiots like Bluto and NW83, amongst others, post garbage spam threads that knock the good threads down the ladder. In Blutos case, because he needs a large post count to feel worth something and in NW83's case, he needs to cruise for other schmoes and beg for gay pics of oiled up men...you know a thread just went to hell when you hear is ubiquitous cry "more pics please!"....fucking sad.
Like I've said before, gimmicks can be fun when they try, now, we have entire threads made up gimmicks owned by 2-3 people arguing with each other.... I posted the "Out the Obvious Gimmicks" in the G & O so people could have their say, but of course, it gets dumped in the Complaints board...fucking joke.

true
Bluto has two trolls that follow him around. Whenever he starts getting owned the lackeys rush in to deflect attention from him. All you need to do is to check out the V board to see who they are. Their trolling is laughable but can erode getbig over time. Ron needs to do a sweep and weed out the duplicate accounts. I'm sure bluto has several to help prop up his fragile ego.
I should also add that I'm very impressed by the way that the regulars are not taking this trolling crap lying down and are speaking out. That's why I love this board - the troll crap doesn't fly here.
As regards to a new mod- chuteboxe is an obvious choice. Another potential choice would be americanbulldog (if we can corral him in). He has a wealth of experience and has trained/met with some of the top competitors in MMA. His regular presence and analysis would be a great addition to this board.

AB is to busy. I have asked him numerous times to PM ron about the spot. Yet he is a business man and a family man, so that is a legitimate reason. I wish he had some extra time.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, again. But like you said, way too busy. Too busy to get time on the tatami. My BB is coming back from Cali, and is moving home for good. So when he gets here second week of September, I expect regular beatings. Chute, SCSG, Bezerk, Thin are all good contributors to this board. When it got laden with drama, here of late, I just stayed in the UG, or JJPG forums. At least there, you can get pros to post, get a chance to interact, and not have them chased off by trolls. BJ will make believers out of a lot of people come December. :o

Ron, You started this thread almost two months ago.... Tons of responses from MMA board regulars and here I see it buried about seven pages deep.
You asked us, the MMA fans to put it to a vote,"Seriously" you started the thread... Should boxing be a mainstain (I am paraphrasing but you get the jest) on this board, I am down with whatever you guys decide. Again almost 2 months ago....
As far as I remember the vote was something like 15 to 20 in favor, and of course 1 not in favor (that guy that was forced down our throats that no one respects, Bluto) Imagine that, the guy you say we should "give a chance to in fairness, blah blah blah" is the only one out of 20 or so people who voted against.
You seem to start these threads then disappear for weeks on end.
So "seriously" are we getting anywhere with all this drama?
Nobody wants Bluto as moderator so you basically have two choices....
1. Either you listen to the vast majority and pick the moderators that we, who eat and breathe MMA actually respect... or
2. You spit in the vast majoritys face and appoint Bluto as moderator. I could go on and on about how he shouldn't be mod, but its the same old story and I am tired of wasting my time.
Are we to expect you to come in in another 2 months and start another carbon copy thread?
Nobody wants Bluto here, period.
*Cue Bluto to come in and play "Top Dog Kiss Ass" in Ron's defense.

Ron is hardly on this board and I don't think it is a big priority for him. I do believe once he gets back on from the Olympia shit, he will look into the matter and see what to do. At least I hope.
