That was the fire used to destroy the paper trail of johnstonsteel’s sock puppets, I assume?

Thanks for doing this Chief. To your points:
1. No sh*t. Couldn't come at a better time. Couldn't pick better mods either. Do you have the power to move threads to "Off Topic." If you do, please use it.
2. Please get tougher on the 83% of trolls who only want to make Hawkeye wrestling fan experiences here worse. Hang the first one from the front porch as a warning to the others.
3. Cut us a little slack when/if you can. If Vodka behaves, can he come back at some point?
Thanks again, but this will become thankless work at some point. It always does for everyone.

Well I think it JTS gets a break, Vodka can. Didn’t know he got banned but TBH, I had him on ignore.
I don’t know how much I’ll mess around with sending threads to off topic. Probably be heavy with the delete button…especially with the silly season upon us. I think a lot of it is context…if you mostly post wrestling but lose your shit on a bad day, then mostly warnings. But Vodka went totally berserk with political posts with a wrestling one here and there. I think we all know the individuals that somehow get the bat signal when their "side" needs defending come a calling....otherwise we don't see them.
I get that we don't want OPPTrolls in here. However, if one of us starts a thread like "HWC Outperforms NLWC," then you get what you earn. It's easy to say now lol.
Edit: Vodka must have earned the super secret, can no longer even whisper his name ban because his profile no longer exists to unban.

Any consideration to make a list of active suspensions / permanent bans, along with an identification of the violation, a sticky thread?
You mean something like this?
TBH, I don't know about putting that much into it to create another sticky thread but I'm all for transparency. I'll think of something. Hopefully, it doesn't happen often. FTR, the "Report" button hasn't been used much here in wrestling...I saw the list for all the other forums <holy sh*t>.
Great art work Chief!!You mean something like this?
To paraphrase an old saying, All trolls are equal in my book...some are just more equal than others. It wouldn't be the same w/o your once or twice a year pop in.
He's just like Kentucky Mudflap but without the charm, wit, and good looks.
Placed into the same realm as Vodka....You mean something like this?
Not sure how I should feel about that.
Watch your tongue, boi.. Mudflap is a national wrestling treasure. I put him right up there with smalls.

Put your spectacles on boy. I was complimenting Mudflap. He is one of my heros lol.
Smalls has a long way to go to reach KMF level greatness.
@backdrft76 did you ban me on BWI because I was made a moderator here?
jammies is the trolls, troll. i have admired his posting,master of the drive by. jts and mizzu are like banbasketball just bitter and pointless
No sir. Did you get banned? What did the Moderator tell you?
As you probably know, a lot of people don't like you over there. You have a HUGE target on your back. And if you banned someone here for what some may perceive to be a weak reason, they probably reported you over there. If you recall, I even stood up for you in a "off-handed" way in a post over there with how the one Mod over at 34 handled you. You even "liked" my comment when I said it wasn't a good look for a Mod to be so quick-tempered and someone who could dish it out but can't take it. So there's that.
As you know, I did get banned there randomly today out of the blue. Who are the other wrestling board Mods?
"Users extensive history of "Trolling" that was previously allowed to slide.."
That's a retaliation ban if I ever saw one.
You are telling me that if someone gets banned/warned here and they report it to you mods on BWI, then you can ban us there for no reason other than being petty and getting even? Is that how you guys operate?
The funny thing is that only one person has been put in time-out for a week since @IAChief32 and I became mods. Chief has actually lifted bans on 2 posters including Johnstownsteel(which I agreed to)
Can you imagine if Chief and I started banning people randomly that had previously trolled here?
It's a bunch of crap you two lifted the ban of Johnstown.
He's a puke and a half and does not deserve to post on this board.
Lol, it was kind of a meaningless gesture, anyway. He was openly posting as GIA...
Yeah, I realize that it's the point of catering to the psu trolls and allowing, almost encouraging them to run their mouths here.
Edit: Because the only reason he's here under any of his names is to stir sh@t, run his mouth and be an arrogant A hole.
wow... I honestly thought that Thread was a legitimate question ? I mean seriously all we heard for months and even YEARS was how much better the NLWC was and How good it was to have all their coaches and Blah blah... But as they couldnt back up the chatter when it came to matter I asked if they did underperform ?? Oh well It is what it is
You just need to look at this forum as the equivalent to Elon Musk turning Twitter into X, while BWI is more like Twitter during 2020. One side only wants to read its "truth", while the other side damn near lets everyone voice their "truth".
Considering the best truth adage out there, "There is your truth, their truth and then the actual truth", I would much rather sift through the differing opinions to find the truth somewhere in the middle, than to only hear or see what I want to hear or see...
I agree with the no politics rule, but I think trolls should be on a very short leash here too.
That's on me. Besides Turk on BWI, I have probably argued with JTS more than any of you combined. But I also remember the origin story here...JTS used to be a solid poster until he got banned (this was around the Ramos debacle) in kind of a clean sweep of PSU posters. In any event, he knows this is the last chance and if he gets banned again, then we'll ban the next screen names faster than he can create them if he still wants to play that game. I'm hoping not.
Trolls are the easy part but almost all of us have our political and social opinions. That why the emphasis is on politics now. Ask me in March about the troll part lol.
Sure it's a legitimate question and we can no doubt take pride in Spencer and our future Hawkeye in Blades. But you can see how the title will attract arguments, right? And do we call those people trolls who come here to argue?
Hopefully forever. What a joke. A retaliation ban to a Moderator on another message board is so petty and childish. Especially when I didn't say anything to get ban hammered.
I can't help that most of...umm ...how do you put it... sh@t that I post here eventually ends up becoming correct and it makes you all get pissy about it. I'm not going to go into this any further with you. You could always just put me on ignore btw.
As for everyone else reading this, I don't even post here much anymore and probably won't in the future. I usually just converse with the reasonable Hawk fans through email and several other social media sites. There's quite a few Hawk fans that I find awesome to talk with truth be told. Chief is a good guy, I'm not gonna give him anymore headaches than I may have given him already. Yinz can all have at it here.... I'll probably end up torturing the OSU board for awhile...
Not on here much anymore so just saw that you are now in charge. About time you now have something to do all day….lol
You are not allowed to troll Minny or ISU I think is a big one 😉
If the job wasn't posted for two weeks, I can see a lawsuit being filed.😁
And would you have to pass a drug test?
Be a glutton for punishment.
I think the pitchforks would come out lol.
It doesn't have to be random. Persistent trolls could be targeted by you two. Just say'in.
