I would assume he means a private social group. They were all the rage for about a month when that capability was launched.

Unless he means the mods private subforum. I think they all make fun of us when they post there.

So no one mentioned who Flying Donutz was.....

I ask because even though some of his posts are off the wall he seems to take the backlash pretty dam good. Most do not.

[saskflames69]

I think FlyingDonutz is a new poster, it's just that he can sometimes seem to be a bit trollish or crazy in his posts.

I used to want to be a mod. Just to engage in that forum. Then I came to the conclusion that being a pretentious asshat was way more fun.

personally I would much rather have people report posts regardless of how bad you think the infraction is than derail a thread for a page or two talking about how it is or isn't a problem post. There is nothing worse than having a good thread ruined by a bunch of people jumping on a poster or two when the conversation could just continue and report the post and let the mods deal with it. Not only that but it saves the mods time so they don't have to then go back to a thread and clean it up because the thread went in that direction.

As KevanGuy mentioned they don't read every post or every thread so it gives me a better idea of who may be a problem. I personally use the report function when I see something I don't like, if the mods don't agree I move on, but at least it's been reported instead of a thread being derailed about my feelings on a certain post which happens too much around here IMHO.

I see your point. Personally I would like to see two people just fight it out and handle it themselves.. But as you said sometimes you do get the wolf pack mentallity on here where you end up with a gang fight of one against the many and that is usually when tempers flair and things go from bad to worse and the next thing you know someone is suspended.

I believe there are posters on here who specialize in drive by insults who really tend to add nothing to threads other than to prove to everyone else how witty they are at the expense of someone else. Those are the ones who tend to exacerbate problems. They make it their mission in life to bait people.

I would certainly not be against regularly reporting their posts.

Hey now. Let's not get carried away. I don't think anyone here would ever stoop so low as to call a lawyer a "Rogers Employee."

This is an excellent post, dickhead.

IIRC some posters from here created another forum. I think it was by invitation only as outsiders couldn't read the comments being posted. Must have been some pretty personal stuff about MMF

Allowing posters to duke it out would drag this forum down and cause a huge distraction. If one doesn't like the rules they are free to set up and moderate thier own forum. Personaly I like the way things are run here.

You mean the master baiters?

I feel like I was baited into commenting on that. Somebody must be banned!

And on that note, I will move along and look for more evidence of master baiters in these forums.

I apologize. I obviously took it the wrong way. Sorry.

Hard to tell with the written word whether someone is being serious or just kidding around.

Again I apoligize for jumping to the wrong conclusion.
