I think the mods to a pretty good job at what is a thankless job. In my opinion there’s about 10-15 posters on this board that have absolutely ruined the essence and spirit of this board which is translating to discontent everywhere including at the moderators. We all know generally who they are, and they rarely ever talk about
Sports, if at all (always on the off topic board or in threads with a political component on FOI). Some have even showed up in this thread trying to derail it with their own political and sociological rhetoric.

Generally this a is a sports message board which has a few off topic sections for members to discuss non-sports related topics. Most posters are pretty die hard sports fans though probably just looking for a break from their daily routine for a few minutes and want to keep it civil and respectful. They are not looking for constant political correctness, they are not looking to write essays with APA style referencing, and they certainty don’t want to have a 15 page debate with people who post 50+ times a day who refuse to ever admit their might be another opinion, be it right or wrong. They get frustrated with it, snap on one of those handful of posters, and get infractions and sometimes sin bin visits while the prime agitators walk away happy as a pig in ####. That builds up a lot of resentment, and the resentment is carried forward to future threads, and towards the mod team.

Technically these agitators have broken no rules, but are they really adding anything To the board and the community? I think they are tearing it apart. I think the moderators should really start looking at that, and maybe it’s time to start showing a few the door regardless If technically they haven’t broken any rules for the better of the board as a whole.

There’s good debate, and then there’s Taking the opposite position of everyone else on every issue and arguing it to no end. In my mind that is simply trolling
