Personal Agenda or Simply an Oversight??

[Shabby J]

Some kind words were posted earlier today by Coach Norbert Revels with a reply by Reg Rutledge regarding the good things that are happening out here in Los Angeles with regards to the LAEFL television pilot and our getting the ball rolling with the CBSMF kick off before the rest of the country.

I was told of this post and by the time I could log on to read it, the darned thing was moved the to the league area by a moderator.

This was not league business and really had no reason to be moved.

I appreciate the fact that we have moderators, but I think people are too quick to jump on things and shuffle them around. Seems like there are posts that need to be moved to other areas and never are, then there are posts that do not need to be moved and are immediatley swept away to another area.

The West Coast has always been sort of outside in the fringe area of MF, we are separated by a lot of country and those miles are hard to overcome, not that we don't want to, but then I have to ask myself if we are separated for a reason.

I hope I am over reacting and that the movement of the post was done innocently, but it needs to be returned to the Tailgate area, it was not league business, it was general MF commentary.

I am speaking only from my point of view as the loud mouth I am known to be at times and this post in no way reflects the opinions, views or ideas of anyone else involved in Los Angeles area electric football.

Here is what happens...and I am assuming this is the case regarding the thread in question.

Moderator logs in.
Moderator sees 10-12 threads not in the proper forum.
Moderator sighs and adds whiskey to his coffee.
Moderator wonders why he has this job and can't wait for his term of office to end.
Moderator selects all posts with only a brief scan of their content and moves posts to hopefully proper place.
Order is restored in moderators world and feels like he is doing good for mankind.
Moderator gets phone calls, nasty emails, cranky pm's and more posts still not in proper place.
Moderator says to himself, "Why I got this stinky job?"
Moderator adds more whiskey to coffee and says screw it. World once again all out of order.
Shabby posts with conspiracy theory. "Why everbody always picking on me?"
Moderator puts aside evening to explain that he Love all MF'ers.
Moderator applies for swank job at the Wargaming site. Pay is better and hours are shorter.
All right in moderators world.
Whiskey all gone!!!
Moderators world all out of order.



The moral of this story is: if more people would try a little harder to put things in there proper place, the moderators wouldn't be so quick to move posts. There is a reason for the order established on the forums. It benefits all our members as one look at the main page reveals not one subject but one subject per forum giving all of us and passer-bys the chance to see more of what the hobby offers in one glance.

Moderator go to bed now! Please don't make mountain out of mole hill!

No problem, got any extra whiskey? I'm all out!

These kind of things remind me of when my 5 year old wants to wear a purple shirt, green pants and red shoes to kindergarten. I can go to war with him ruining both our mornings or just let him go with it casue it just ain't that big of a deal.

Just so you all know. We prefer that everyone try to their best effort to start threads in the proper forum, (not that Norberts post was in the right or wrong catagory - sometimes it is a matter of interpretation on the part of the moderator or just a matter of how much time we have in our schedule) but if we determine that it is misplaced, it will get moved.

It really isn't that big of a deal to be in the tailgating section anyway over the other forums. They all enjoy high readership. In fact, passer-by's have direct links from our main page to the League and Locker Room forums because that is where the cool stuff is!

Shabby, you're just lucky that your post was only moved, and not deleted. 'Ole "Trigger Finger" Schmidt and I have a history that goes waaaay back to the old days of Miggle. All I did was put up a single little post with one lousy pic of a couple of the Third Reich players and you should have seen the trouble I got from it. First it was moved to the "Bad Boy" catagory, then everything was deleted. Then the phone calls started, angry crowds gathered up outside the house, reporters hounded me day and night, not to mention the nasty letters from the Jewish Affirmative Action League. On a side note, I did get a complimentary e-mail from Mel Gibson... Yes, consider yourself fortunate. Here's the way I see it...


Moderator has fight with wife. (And loses)
Moderator has fight with kids. (And loses)
Moderator kicks dog and goes into room to sulk.
Moderator vows revenge on someone.
Moderator goes to dart board with names of all the chat board members and throws dart.
Moderator chuckles with glee because he hit Ravenna Al's name
Moderator logs onto chat site.
Moderator looks for first post he can find from chosen chat board member.
Moderator moves said post to other area.
Moderator e-mails other chat board members and encourages them to write onto the post and say nasty things
Moderator jumps up and down wth joy because he can now remove post.
Moderator contacts Jewish Affirmative Action League, newspapers and CNN and gives them Rav Al's address.
Moderator develops high feelings of euphoria and appologises to wife and kids.
Moderator gets a little from wife later that night.
