Dear Moderator Of Sports Forum

[SlowwHand]

Because after all these years we're sheep.

[-Jrabbit]

Well, being polite didn't help.
Discussing it didn't help.
Posting it in the Moderation thread resulting in a hollow thud.
Using the "Report this post" tool did nothing.

How does this benefit Apoly?

What is this, Post #77 in this thread?
Apparently the administration sees this whole thing as an increase in traffic.

So we might as well call 'em as we see 'em...
Imran -- punkass jerk; doesn't do squat here
Ozzy -- a wimp and a wuss (I, for one, was shocked to learn this.)

Imran's "why should I help you" attitude is disturbing. The fact that Poly rarely has more than one page of active threads - his excuse for not sticking the draft threads - actually throws this issue into sharp relief. It takes exactly two clicks to benefit an entire league of posters. And the few other posters who are visiting Sports Sub would not, as Imran points out, experience any notable inconvenience.

So it really comes down to an attitude problem. Some would say Imran is treating the Sports Sub as his private fiefdom. It actually took him more time and effort to flounce in and tell us off than it would have taken to top the threads. Oh, wait, the threads were already topped. So the only effort he made was to thwart us.

That really is a pile of bull.

I know Poly isn't a real business, but I also know that the owners would dearly love for it to be self-sustaining. Quick hint to Mr. Plomp -- It ain't gonna happen with this attitude.

we should move to the panda site in protest.

[notyoueither]

That's the one, Sloww.

First, it's the right thing to do and Ozzy knows it.
Second, flip-flopped on it.

So Ozzy was like, "I have the power," then totally wimped out as soon as Imran did his punkass thing -- didn't even make Imran do his own dirty work. Weak. And he calls himself an advocate...

Are you being paid as a lobbyist?

[SlowwHand]

What are you doing here?

[notyoueither]

Posting?

[notyoueither]

Wait. That's not my final answer.

[notyoueither]

I can't stand the pressure!

[MikeH]

I would top the threads if I knew what they were.

[MikeH]

I very rarely come into the Sport Forum and don't understand the bizarre machinations of your draft systems so post links to threads that need to be topped in here, or PM me, and don't forget to let me know when I should un-top them.

Generally my understanding of what we're trying to do as moderators is we're trying to make life easier for posters, no reason to change traditions like this when people find it useful.

[Flubber]

wow

tempest-- teapot

Oh ya and I am requesting that the hockey draft discussion thread be topped ABOVE the NFL ones to increase the chance that some football guy might go "look hockey" and decide to join in

[-Jrabbit]

Awesome, MikeH.

Please top the following threads:

Are you being paid as a lobbyist?

Not in the political sense.

[OzzyKP]

Lessee, if the South was wrong to rebel, then so were the Yankees.

The South had democratic representation at all levels of government. They weren't being ruled by a king. They were afraid that the democratic system would vote against their interests so they took their ball and went home. That is an anti-democratic sentiment, not pro-democratic. Their interests (slavery) were entirely anti-freedom as well.

So the values of the South were entirely opposed to those of the Revolution.
