What's up with all these threads being deleted?

???

Many times conservative thinking posters were censored and banned because liberal posters would cry to Kakert and his posse about having their feelings hurt or god forbid having a different opinion and the admin Kakert was one of the biggest butthurt babies on this site. It's nice to see it the other way for a little while.

If it gets moderated enough it will feel just like stormfront. How cozy.
 
Since I joined, I have read nothing but how these boards are not moderated.

I guess someone has been notified and is currently hellbent on disproving that.
 
Someone is mass reporting them would be my guess? Maybe @DFSNOLE knows how that function works on Rivals- does it go to the Iowa Mods or like Rivals HQ?
Only reason I asked this- Facebook groups, when you “report” a post it goes to Facebook HQ, and the mods of that group (I’ve been told). Wonder if someone spamming report buttons here got the attention of the “mother ship” in a bad way.

It used to be very bad. I got banned in 2012 after Iowa football lost to Central Michigan making a thread saying KF coached a crappy game.

There is some confusion on threads/posts being deleted and threads being locked. It would be helpful to have some input. Is it content? Posters unable to manage themselves? An edict from corporate? Things seem to have changed rapidly.
As one poster mentioned it would be nice to see some presence here if only for you to be seen, and get the flavor of what’s being discussed. I believe we seem to be self moderating, but perhaps there is an issue we need to have some input on?
Thanks.
 
Then they should moderate cussing and porn. Deleting political posts is out of line.
Any of you injured parties gone to the new site owner yet? Name the threads, the mod's well-known bias, and ask for relief. The owner wants traffic, and any politically biased mod should be axed.

Here are the locked ones.











Hmmm...... what do a lot of these threads seem to have in common, I just can't put my finger on it. Time to go on an Investigation Discovery binge and post the details to my favorite internet sleuth Facebook Page, "Momma Bear PD"

If you manage to figure it out let @ICWestfan know.

I didn't stealth edit anything. I and several others asked him to cite the articles he was posting and he refused. I told him I would edit out any uncredited quotes and I did.
Did you comment the post that you had edited it?
No.
A stealth edit is one made without any acknowledgement.
And that’s what you did.

If you’re too lazy to copy and paste some text into a search engine that’s on you.
Your laziness is no excuse to modify someone else’s posts.

Being in IT only makes me more paranoid by the day.

I've often wondered how much access an administrative "mod" role gets on Rivals. I'm sure there are limited permission roles you can give to mods, but generally speaking, non-IT folks do not understand the concept of Least Privilege. It would not surprise me if an owner of a site just gives full administrative access to people out of the gate. I could be wrong, but there are too many morons out there for me to feel comfortable.

REPORTED!!!
 
Apparently that mod doesn’t know the audience here. 🙂
Torbee, I believe, like many of you, is old enough to remember when Todd Brommelkamp maintained a presence here. Not entirely sure his status, but wasn’t he a moderator? Or, an underling of some sort?
My fear is AI, or some support person in Bangladesh is getting hits on key words or complaints and acting arbitrarily.

He was a moderator and got relentlessly trolled until he quit.
