OK, I've been at work, with only about 5 minutes spent here on the Mesa today, so I have no idea what you're talking about. All I saw was that a thread was locked. Keep in mind, any comments that are personal in nature and critical of another board member will be deleted if they are caught by the Mod staff. We just don't want this place devolving into what it had become a few years ago. (When almost every thread was taken off topic by pointless personal bickering and flame wars between members.) If you've got a legitimate question there is A.) a sub-forum for questions about moderating decisions and B.) an option to PM the mod staff and ask why certain decisions were made. We're not the evil dictators that some people want to believe that we are, but we do have a responsibility to maintain some semblance of order and civility on the board. devolving to what it was a few years ago? did you actually say that with a straight face? ?? you are failing at your responsibility of maintaining civility. the mods have allowed very obvious trolls and generally anti-aztec people to make post after post after post with no repercussion. this board has devolved, and the lack of control over the folks that appear to have no other agenda than make it devolve is one of the main reasons.

Yes, instead of bellyaching publicly send a PM to ask what is going on. Some of these threads go south so quickly they aren't worth salvaging. I realize that there have been several worthy threads trashed lately because it wasn't reasonable to parse out the bad from the good. I was tempted to restart some but I knew the same jack wagons would jump in again. Two of the worst offenders have been banned very recently so that's that. If you think you'd like to wield the "ban hammer" by all means apply for the task of MOD. I like to sleep after 10:00 P.M. so we need a grave yard MOD to throw out the late night trash! Thanks for your patience and understanding! GO AZTECS! Nope, don't need a graveyard mod. Simple question, did you ban honey badger and fresh to death??? Well, I can answer that. You won't be reading any further comments from Honey Badger, and if FreshToDeath posts anything besides comments of some substance and not just something trying to incite a reaction then that will be the last time you read a post from him.

I'm sorry if we've got full time jobs and such and don't have 12 hours a day to patrol the Mesa. We lost Fembone because she has a life and didn't have the time or energy to put towards moderating the board, and we added Fishn'Aztec to try and pick up the slack. Trust me, it's a big job and one that doesn't come with a paycheck. We do the best we can with what time we have to work it. I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you. I didn't see you volunteer the last time we asked for mod candidates...

i get it... hard work... no pay... no respect... i get it. you don't have to be on here for longer than 5 minutes to pick out the very obvious trolls/thread-arsonists. those folks are ruining this board happy to hear that two fo the major offenders are now gone. there will be more though, and hopefully they are dealt with much quicker.

If anyone thinks it's a "shame" or believe their rights are being "taken away" due to "censorship," feel free to start your own forum. Stop wasting your time by complaining, there's a link at the top of this page to start your own community... of course ^^^ this guy has that take.... shocking. Why are you always singling "this guy" out? Funny thing is that no matter how "inflammatory" or useless you think my posts are, I've never had any of them deleted, unlike you. You can try to pile on me again, but beware, the mods might lock the thread, or even worse, delete another post of yours .

Why don't you just leave then instead of letting a stupid sports board get you all riled up? There's other options which might suit your sensibilities. Life's too short to worry about stuff on the internet....

I'm not sure how me pointing out how you always seem to single me out makes me the "tough guy." Maybe the real reason why "trolls" stay on this board is because they have plenty of food because certain people just can't help themselves and respond to everything.

He trolls more than anyone on this board. He adds his two cents in to every thread. If anyone should be banned it's him. Go to the other board. Sure seems like you don't like this board.

i get it... hard work... no pay... no respect... i get it. you don't have to be on here for longer than 5 minutes to pick out the very obvious trolls/thread-arsonists. those folks are ruining this board happy to hear that two fo the major offenders are now gone. there will be more though, and hopefully they are dealt with much quicker. Actually no. When there is a game thread going, be it BB or FB, you pretty much have to sit & read all the drivel for content so the process take more that 5 minutes. Some of the bozos start off slow & build to a point of being offensive so it may take 2-3 hours before they officially screw themselves & get banned. As it stands right now we probably need 1 more MOD. The ability to confer on posts helps with the clean up and banning process. Thanks for your patience!

]Keep in mind, any comments that are personal in nature and critical of another board member will be deleted if they are caught by the Mod staff. Thanks for modding. Even if I disagree with how yall go about things sometimes, it's a thankless, payless job, and AMesa has provided countless entertainment hours for me over the years. The only thing many of us ask is that along with the above quoted rule, you afford our student athletes the same benefit. Any comments that are personal in nature and critical of our student athletes should be deleted. While I understand a staff of 3 can't catch them all, it is very easy to discern those who habitually do it. Those people don't deserve any benefit of any doubt.
