Let me guess, you posted a basketball thread on a non-basketball board? It's not a difficult concept for most people.
I don’t want to get in the way of a good Friday rant, but he was suspended very recently.
Well, anyway, with the ladies winning a road B1G game in Madison, maybe there's some hope that they'll manage to scrape together a couple more B1G wins this season.
Women’s basketball. Posted in the same place I had been posting them for years until @CappyNU became moderator. Things were so much better when he was just an occasional poster.
The world in general or is the damage limited to Wildcat Report? Fans wanna know...
I got suspended on INU a few years back because I called Bushnell BushLeague
Uhhhhhhhh…..
When one is a moderator, restraint is often the advisable fallback position. Mostly, folks on here are well-behaved and aren’t in need of a Sheriff or heavy-handedness.
This message board is a place to provoke and facilitate discussion. I fear that threats of suspension don’t particularly help to foster that kind of environment.
Why do I think Cap should change his Aviator to a picture of him in a Judge’s Robe?
Coral could say World Peace is good for humanity and Bob would say war is good! Taxes, Death, and Bob disagreeing with Coral are the only certainties in life.
I’d like to meet Coral someday. I picture him as a Bond Villain. But smarter and meaner.

I'd like an option for every response that refers to The Rock to be auto-deleted or auto-ignored
I think the broad point is that this specific suspension seems like it was awfully trigger-happy, and therefore a de-facto threat to anyone for a suspension for anything that the moderator might personally disagree with or take umbrage from (even the slightest of criticisms).
I was with a fishing buddy in a 16 foot boat this past summer and he went on a long harangue about how war solves a lot of manmade problems. He sounded pro-war. Thankfully the bass were biting.
My dear CappyNU, have I really been unclear in expressing myself? Did you miss the gist of my missive?
Moderators are like refs. They need thick skin and an even temperament. Some folks naturally have these qualities in spades. For the rest of us, we ought to consider whether being a moderator is best-suited to our talents.
Again, this board ought to be lenient with free expression--it is a message board, after all.
"Talk about Northwestern sports other than football and basketball here"
A poster intentionally posts threads on the wrong board, then a moderator moves the thread to the correct board without penalty, the poster petulantly changes the thread title to give orders to the moderator and then directly insults the moderator in a subsequent post.
Going back with your "refs" analogy, again, what happens if a player starts insulting a ref during the game? "How dare you not let me take 3 or even 4 steps; don't you know who I am?"
Over two decades, just like you, both of us before the "other sports" board ever existed.
20 years? Time to stop being such a tightwad and support the site with a premium subscription. Lou and Matt deserve your financial support.
