Hey Mods: A little clarity? Taco? - The Orange Mane

Popps · 03-24-2009, 11:03 PM

Hey mods...

Yea, listen.. I noticed Blueflame moved a thread to the Butt that she didn't agree with.

It was a great thread called "Cutler, you gutless drunk"

Then, I did a quick search and noticed that a thread she DID agree with, "Bowlen, you gutless drunk" was left attached to the main page.

Since we now have speculation that Cutler is also a gutless drunk, it seems odd that one thread was moved by Blueflame to the Butt and not the other?

Probably just an oversight, but perhaps we can get a little clarity so we know which jokes and opinions are tolerated, and which are not.

Thanks in advance!

I'd hate to take up any bandwidth and bump "lolcats" off the main page, but maybe we can get a little clarity?

Anyone?

Taco John · 03-24-2009, 11:06 PM

I had no plans on moving that thread. It looked like it was going to push itself off the main page by itself simply by its merit. But since it did get moved, I'm going to go have a beer, and hit the hay.

It was parody, rooted in news.

Nothing different than any other thread. Enjoy the beer, and then find some new mods in the morning. Fire Blueflame immediately and replace her with someone who has a spine.

There was no profanity or any other non-front-page content in the thread.

Pretty pathetic, boss.

Northman · 03-24-2009, 11:13 PM

Have to say that is kind of weak. IMO

If nothing else, Taco is a fair guy. He didn't bump it, though. Blueflame did, and she's the definition of weak.

She probably won't fess up, or will have a typical lame-ass excuse.

Change the name.... and the thread has 1000 responses. Insert Cutler, and it's shuffled off the main page?

Taco John · 03-24-2009, 11:19 PM

Blue, your paycheck this month is going to be real light for this move! I hope you have some other way to pay the bills!

Taco John · 03-24-2009, 11:20 PM

Ok. Snarky joke aside... This IPA is hitting the spot.

Taco, you can make it up to me by personally starting a "Cutler, you gutless drunk" thread yourself.

C'mon dude, it's the right thing to do.

BS. I did move the thread. But I wasn't the only OM community member who found it inappropriate. "Report this post to a moderator" email was received.

Isn't it a little insensitive to be crowing about enjoying your booze with a couple of drunks as the face of our franchise?

I still like Anchor Steam. Boring, I know.

Or Corona if we're talking quantity.

JCMElway · 03-24-2009, 11:23 PM

Was it move for inappropriate content, or did someone just disagree with the opinion?

Hehehe... guess I'd best brush up on my "panhandling" techniques...

Bull****.

That's bull**** and you know it. Taco is just too good of a guy to bust you in public.

You may have received a mail, but that's insanity. The Gutless featured LITERAL references to the following:

-a 15" cactus with aids jammed up Bowlen's ass
-physical harm to the coaches
-the owner having an ACTUAL drinking problem
-the coach's brain being blown out of the back of his head

(Among others.)

So, don't piss down our backs and tell us it's raining, Blueflame. You're a fraud and a hypocrite.

Double-standards don't fly, and don't tell me NO ONE was offended by ANY other "kill Bowlen" thread or "McDouchebag" orgy.

You're full of ****.

Period.

Blueflame didn't like it.

She claims someone was "offended." (Which means, someone didn't agree with the joke being directed at Cutler, but it was fine when directed at Bowlen... and subsequently 1000 people chimed in.)

We literally had people talking about ramming plants up his ass and throwing venomous snakes at his privates.

Great fun!

But, apparently only great fun if Blueflame agrees with your position.

Corona is a good quantity beer. Anchor Steam is bum piss from the San Francisco sewers.

Nah... I used to like Anchor Steam, but my taste for beer has really developed in the last ten years living in the Microbrew capital of America (with due respect to Denver, which boasts a thriving industry). I'm officially a beer snob. I never meant to be. It just happened.

My absolute favorite right now is Widmer's Broken Halo IPA. I love the stuff.

If hurling insults makes you feel better, go for it. Whatever. It don't matter...

It "don't" matter, what?

A hypocrite isn't a "name," it's an accurate moniker for someone who creates a double-standard that is supposed to be a moderator. Of course, this isn't the first time you don't it, either.

Weak, indeed.

Thought it was clear that your negative opinion of me... or criticism... won't stop me from taking actions if I believe they're in the best interests of the OrangeMane community.

Ratboy · 03-24-2009, 11:33 PM

Popps,

The thread caused my SAV to flip out. It was best it was moved due to its attachments.

You mean taking actions that serve your opinion?

Yes, I do realize that you're self-serving and insecure to an extent that you can't have your opinion challenged.

BF, it's obvious what you did. Pathetic, but obvious.

Popps · 03-24-2009, 11:38 PM

How can a linked jpeg image cause your virus protection to go nuts?

Anyway, that post could have been deleted, very easily.

That's not why she moved it, man.

GreatBronco16 · 03-24-2009, 11:45 PM

I'm going to start reporting every thread talking bad about McDaniel and see if they get moved. I would bet they don't.

A half-million posts in some of these threads, and this was the FIRST time anyone around THIS place complained?

Honestly. Please raise your hand if you believe that.

Anyone.

Popps I use to like reading your post what has caused you to flip out?
