RichieNextel305 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Got sick of the politics of being a consistent poster here to be honest. I’ll lurk and post here and there. Nothing too wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 What politics would that be? Some people here can instigate fights by being trolls and when they get the desired reaction, they use their clout as moderators to issue warnings, etc. It got to be way too ridiculous. People would bait others into fights, and then when the person inevitably responded, they would be the ones catching heat for it. Just got to be really old and tiring watching it happen over and over with same people and with nothing being done because of their “clout” on a friggin’ messageboard. So whatever. It is what it is. I’ll read up on Ranger stuff here, but as far as engaging anymore? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Did either of you read the two recent threads about moderation, feedback, and the politics section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Did either of you read the two recent threads about moderation' date=' feedback, and the politics section?[/quote'] Not yet. I am still catching up on a lot of unread threads. The fact that they're locked has moved them to the top of my idgaf about rushing to catch up on that thread since I can't respond to it anyway. I'll get there when I get there. Edit - regardless of the outcome of mentioned thread, what Richie posted is true of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to post they should post, if they want to lurk that's cool too. No one is targeted or conspired against. It didn't happen in the past and it doesn't happen now. What happens is that folks that don't like to follow the rules here also don't like to face the consequences when they break them. So they deflect by making baseless accusations about favoritism, conspiracies, and bias treatment. Those claims have been going on for years.

Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk It most certainly happened in the past, which is why this community has shrunk. GDT?s are sometimes 5 pages long. It?s unfortunate when some people twist the rules and lean them how they want, while others have to sit back getting told Time and time again that they?re in the wrong. Again, it?s why I stopped posting. Not worth the bantering or getting dragged into internet fights by people who seemingly live for internet drama. They start fights, get people riled up and then point and say ?you broke the rules? all because someone baited them. It was and is still a little too much. So, while I do miss posting, I just casually read now about the team, which is all I really do care for when it comes to this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The community has shrunk because instant gratification exists elsewhere (twitter) and others like myself just don?t have the time to dedicate to a forum. You aren?t really basing this on fact man, just your own conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I’m also judging it on other people who are doing or who have done exactly what I now do, but ok. Whatever you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I?m judging this on someone who?s on a lot of big forums for a variety of different reasons, and I can tell you forums are becoming less and less used, not more. Social media is taking up a lot of that space and it?s not hard to understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 On top of all of it, I was actually told, for lack of better term, to get lost awhile back in a thread by a mod here. So I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media is taking up a lot of that space and it?s not hard to understand why. Fair enough. But other forums seem to filter through new users a lot more frequently than this one does anymore. Could be related to a bunch of things; could also have to do with what I?m getting at as far as not wanting to deal with the BS that goes with being a frequent poster here.
