We haven't had a chance to discuss what to do with the Water Cooler, hope to do so today or tomorrow.


I ask that you leave it open. Give the Mods room to vacation people or even ban them after warning.

We have that freedom now. But I got tired of getting called out every time regardless of who it was for violating someone's first amendment right. Hell, Steve once banned a poster and I caught hell for that. I don't get that from any moderation of any of the sports forums and I've banned at least 5 over there


Then don't be a mod and let someone else do it?


Yeah, I don't agree with that... Glass has done a pretty damn good job around here as far as I am concerned. No reason to be taking out any frustration on him. He is not the problem.


I apologize if that came off snarky. I was saying if being a mod is stressful then don't do it. Someone else will.

I didn't mean to sound as heavy-handed as it came out either... I just wanted to show my support for the way Glass does what he does around here.

LOL, It's not stressful it's just some of the complaints I (we) get are like *** man. I get a notice when a post is flagged (from both sides) and I read the post flagged and think why the hell was this flagged. I keep going back to him but Ernie was the one outlier. There was not question as to what to do with him. I will go through and edit some post that are border line crossing the line. It's really simple. Attack the post, not the poster. You can reply to a post without referring to someone as a POS, or commie, We are all Americans. We just have a different view of things politically.

Hell I gave ICW Wolf 3 days off from the Reynolds Forum. It expired this morning at 2:01 AM I'm just waiting for him to come back with some snarky comment

Is anyone BUT Glass a mod here? Maybe that's one big difference in here vs The Brickyard...there seemed to be at least 3 or 4 mods on that forum at all times keeping the peace, so to speak. Trying to monitor this place by yourself is an overwhelming task for anyone.

Wolfer79, Bryant , BP Cox and myself are the main ones. Of course James and Steve

Just a matter of time. IMO Anae is just as bad as he is though.

People are saying the WC is a cesspool... In fact, most of these people were once on PackPride. Well, I just looked at The Brickyard and the fist thread is Politics 2025. The next several threads were something around pictures of women (don't get me wrong, they look nice)... How in the world would anybody think those threads are reasonable for a relationship to NC State sports, is beyond me...

Just remember, those threads existed when we were all on PackPride.

Personally, I think some are selective outrage mentality people...

Glass, you got called out for being one-sided in your moderation. Personally, I thought you did a solid job and something that should be monitored again as a practice...

Stricter moderation
Behind the paywall

That will hopefully get more interesting threads going for those that have walked away...

Kudos to you on that, and I'm sure that it was probably well deserved.

Ha! Not me. At least not for the moment because I currently already get this level of grief as an HOA officer.

Now that's something I have no time or mental capacity to do..
