Of all of the wonderful things about cougarboard, this is probably

Agreed. Mods typically do a solid job. I'd hate to moderate the baffoons on CB

There is probably not an easier group of people on the Internet

Yeah - just assume they are all crazy and bingo!

Seriously. Go to 4Chan if you want to see something hard to moderate

i've never received a suspension i agreed with...

Lol. I'm sure you don't agree with them.
spugeddy24
6/25/17 9:55am
Your dissent is noted, Mr. Trump.
SJS
6/25/17 9:56am
so...is calling someone a name, like "mr trump" a compliment or an insult?
ds7
6/25/17 9:57am
Fair point.
SJS
6/25/17 9:58am
I'm sure it's a compliment to you. Settle down.
spugeddy24
6/25/17 9:59am
It's always meant as an insult on CB
LV Mike
6/25/17 10:12am
Your pointless condescension looking over your reading glasses is likewise noted
LV Mike
6/25/17 11:14am
Can I report someone for ripping off a joke and then executing it poorly?
SJS
6/25/17 11:16am
Yes, please do
LV Mike
6/25/17 11:28am
thats crazy. Multiple times I've been suspended and thought, "crap, I thought
shimmy
6/25/17 10:00am
the only time that has happened is when i thought it was FO and couldn't delete
ds7
6/25/17 10:02am
That pretty much sums up all of my posts.
OneUpper
6/25/17 10:19am
Then, and I say this as politely as I can, maybe time for some self reflection?
The Dude Abides
6/25/17 10:12am
it's not when refs call regular fouls...but when they call a technical foul...
ds7
6/25/17 10:15am
Doesn't that fit in exactly with what the dude abides said?
OneUpper
6/25/17 10:22am
I can only imagine what a dark place your FO must be like.

His are deserved but you and ds7 are just misunderstood and picked on. Got it.
spugeddy24
6/25/17 10:05am
he said it himself...he was trying to get away with something...
ds7
6/25/17 10:07am
Difference is he has the self awareness to realize he deserved the suspension
spugeddy24
6/25/17 10:11am
and he'd be right...i have no interest in "getting away with anything"...
ds7
6/25/17 10:12am
ds, your lack of self awareness is so amazingly bad I have a tough time
CSoul
6/25/17 10:13am
and i'm polite enough not to tell you what i think in general pop...
ds7
6/25/17 10:17am
Naw, you've called me a lib many times which is for you the ultimate insult
CSoul
6/25/17 10:22am
well...now you're describing someone who IS self-aware...make up your mind
ds7
6/25/17 10:25am
"and falsely assume some people's intentions for the majority of warnings/suspensions." You really believe this?
HarlemCoug
6/25/17 10:09am
Not all of them. Sometimes I have been surprised by them and disagreed and lost
shimmy
6/25/17 10:19am
Yup. Preach...
CarolinaCoug
6/25/17 11:21am
Assuming intent is the worst part of moderation here.
SandYFan
6/25/17 12:48pm
And what's the best part?
SuperTank
6/25/17 12:49pm
keeping the vulgarity and silly personal attacks off the board...
ds7
6/25/17 1:00pm
They absolutely do that....
CoachSpeak
6/25/17 4:42pm
wait. there are CBers who think conservatives have it hard, are treated
smokymountainrain
6/25/17 10:09am
if "some of us" match a libs emotion/heat...yeah...suspension...
ds7
6/25/17 10:10am
like i said. so funny.
smokymountainrain
6/25/17 10:17am
And keep in mind: CB "libs" are just center-right Repubs like Romney
SJS
6/25/17 10:12am
Exactly.
spugeddy24
6/25/17 10:13am
lol. so true.

Am I a cb lib?
shimmy
6/25/17 10:20am
you're not on my list...
ds7
6/25/17 10:20am
Wait, you actually have a list?
SJS
6/25/17 10:22am
Nice. I get called a cb Lib all the time. I'm center left on a couple
shimmy
6/25/17 10:23am
I'd bet that I am

I so hope that I'm on that list.

I was one of several who got a warning for using the laughing emoji on a post

Copy/paste the mod message or you're chicken.

jigidajrit
6/25/17 10:32am
Interesting. Welp, it happens. I have several suspensions and warnings I felt
OneUpper
6/25/17 10:34am
It stuck with me because it showed me the double standard that exists on CB
jigidajrit
6/25/17 10:39am
You learned there's a double standard on CB because of one warning? And only one warning?
SuperTank
6/25/17 10:54am
Your only warning, ever. The text is canned and given automatically.
El Jefe
6/25/17 10:46am
I actually had a second warning but it was rescinded because it was
jigidajrit
6/25/17 11:03am
So the mods voted to remove a penalty that you felt was unfairly given?
El Jefe
6/25/17 11:36am
The warning shouldn't have happened in the first place
jigidajrit
6/25/17 12:11pm
AKA, it worked like it should.
SuperTank
6/25/17 12:15pm
The warning in this instance was more of a notification.
El Jefe
6/25/17 12:46pm
chicken? really, the "chicken card?" how about, it's against the rules...

It's intentionally juvenile and meant to draw a laugh. It's

yeah, your gen pop persona can't pull this off...
ds7
6/25/17 10:44am
Who says gen pop was the intended audience?
OneUpper
6/25/17 10:57am
then you're right...it is intentionally juvenile...

Dont blame the mods, Joey Crawford set the precedent.

Another rotten take
Backcountry
6/25/17 10:24am
Imagine caring what a ute fan pretending to be a byu fan thinks.
shimmy
6/25/17 10:27am
That's 2. Truly one of the worst posters on the board.
Backcountry
6/25/17 10:30am
^^^ I don't understand. Need more context.
SJS
6/25/17 10:30am
For like 3 years every backcountry post was about how horrible byu is and how

As a conservative, I can say that the conservatives on this board are such

How do you know he was being political with that statement? You sound like a mod
Cougarfan777
6/25/17 12:46pm
I don't know that. He may have been talking about a million different things.
shimmy
6/25/17 1:28pm
Are you insinuating that I am myopic?
IrishCooga

Lol.
SuperTank
6/25/17 3:55pm
What is so funny Mr. Mod?
IrishCooga
6/25/17 7:25pm
No, im laughing at your tantrum. That's all.
SuperTank
6/25/17 7:33pm
Ok, what tantrum, and why is it so funny?
IrishCooga
6/25/17 7:45pm
Not sure how "lol" could be classified as me throwing a tantrum.
SuperTank
6/25/17 8:00pm
Not sure how rhetorical questions could either
IrishCooga

The very concept of Mods is a very BYU thing
stonecougar
6/26/17 9:21am
Is it? Every forum I visit has moderators. I've never seen one without them.
SuperTank
6/26/17 9:26am
Are you saying internet message boards not associated with BYU don't have moderators?
brj8
6/26/17 10:21am
I don't know about any other boards
stonecougar
6/26/17 11:32am
I DO know other boards, and CB is moderated much more tightly than others. FWIW.

Even Reddit has mods, they just moderate for different goals. It's all about

6/26/17 2:18pm
One of the biggest moderating problems CB has is inconsistency
Jericho

Don't forget Cobaltcougars, that board devolved quickly.
shimmy

Bad format

Meh, "consistency" is tough to judge as an individual. You don't know all

Not sure why mocking another CBer is okay...but whatever.
