You may now ignore Bob

So,

After some deliberation, I've decided to remove Bob from the moderator's group.  My decision is based on two factors:

1.)He has made it clear that he doesn't really want to be a moderator anyway.
2.)Some posters have mentioned that you can't ignore a poster who is a moderator.

So basically, this is due to a (perfectly reasonable) software limitation.  The forum tBob will live on and I hope there is continued development there and the forum eventually turns into the lazy, PBR spiced, summer afternoon discussing local stuff that it is meant to be.  

Personally, I like Bob (mostly) but I can understand some posters' desire to fine tune tSwill experience by turning down certain frequencies.  If you do not know how to ignore a poster, you can fiddle fart around with your user profile and figure it out pretty quickly.

Edit:  Just to be clear. Bob is still the overlord of tBob, I just had to remove him from the moderator's group due to a software limitation. Any moderating that he would like to do in that forum can be done via proxy (by me or Heat) with a simple PM request.

The minute the software is updated to allow for ignoring a moderator from another board in this board, I will reinstate him as moderator of tBob in the user control panel.

So because WhiteBoyHatcher and LoneWolfSparty are little bitches, Bob loses his title that people voted on?

+1. You are a great American.

serious question - can I ignore myself?

Begging for likes, ignoring users. You are pathetic.

dude is right - I never wanted to be a "mod" - I actively supported Trevor for the position - mainly out of my admiration for Dan Kilbridge and his fascination with sweaty 17 year old boys...

so, yes, it's a subversive attempt at undermining democracy - but democracy isn't all it's cracked up to be.

you're a great American.. and long live the Swill   

 

It's been real, but SRC, I'm out. Good luck.

Thank GOD. Let the little bitches leave who are going to whine. Bob being here (AND BEING A MOD FER GODS SAKE) was no better than the other board.

I'm here for life now.

really dude?

(your choice, of course - but, if serious, stay in touch).

Wow, for a dude who is all up in Bobby Sak's ass, you sure suck at detecting sarcasm.

The likes thing was gag bro.

The ignore thing - yeah, I like the feature. Certain posters spam the board. And it's annoying and you can't not read it when it's in every thread. It's not about politics. It's about repetitiveness.

Who is running the asylum? Are the inmates running the asylum? It looks to me like the inmates are running the asylum.

Giant Moose wrote:It's been real, but SRC, I'm out. Good luck.

Really? Just because I've revoked moderator privileges from someone who doesn't even want to be a moderator due to a software limitation?

Where's that drama queen smiley....

Nobody likes a quitter.

for you Moose..



Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars

Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender

I'm pretty sure that was the general plan from the get go.

Indeed.

Look I really don't GAF about this. I didn't mean to make this a public fight. I am not going anywhere even if I can't put Bob on ignore. Like I said, it just becomes super repetitive and you open the board some mornings and the top 20 threads all have Bob posts about Buffy and Instagram and Nedgo and Trevor and blah blah blah. It only came up because I went to try to figure out the foe thing a SECOND time because of Bob's repetitiveness and remembered I couldn't do it so I asked the question.

I want Bob to keep posting in the manner that he enjoys and I don't want him to go anywhere. I could GAF if he's a mod or not. I simply would like the option to not have to see the repetitiveness when it becomes annoying.

Whatever works for you guys. If Moose is going to be a see you next Tuesday about it, restore Bob. I don't care or take any of this too seriously.

Have fun guys, I'm off to UP NORTH (for realz).

I just wanted to make that clear for the people who didn't read the charter.

Swill threads are becoming highly predictable, not a good sign moving forward...

Nope, not just you WBH. You (and others) just pointed out the issue. I was not aware of this limitation when I create tBob and put him up for moderator of that board. I think its an assumed feature of any potential moderator that they not be someone who is as controversial by the nature of the voting system. Bob was a special case because he has his own forum.

This was my decision alone and based on many different input sources not just one poster.

WBH - what the hell did you do to be considered an = to Bee?

oh - and, for the record, you've always been welcome to ignore me..

I could never ignore you Bob.

awww man, that makes my day.. and, as you might suspect, it's been an emotional roller coaster of a day..

in all honesty, I appreciate everything you've done here and with this board - and I've never even been tempted here (or at the other, lesser board) to ignore someone.. if I don't agree with someone, I simply don't read their threads or posts..

though I do completely understand that there is a certain magnetic power to me and my thoughts, ideas and theories.. it's very evident.. and I'm committed to using that power for good.

you're a great American and a fine Spartan.

Long live Bob!

tSwill is panicking

Bob is the man based on his love for Springsteen alone.

Too late now. You've created a martyr.

I hate Springsteen and I am going west for my vacation next week. I will be sitting on a Lake Michigan beach earning 20%. Despite all of that Bob is the best and he should Mod over all our worlds, but if the software won't let him, so be it.

Not being able to put someone on ignore CAN'T be a board feature that causes you to leave, can it!?!
