QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) And for example, if you knew I felt you should be suspended for X, and it did or didn't happen, what would your thought be after that? If I were suspended, I'd be confused since I personally don't feel any post I made would be worthy of that. More importantly I would be upset that moderation policy discussions weren't been held out in the open or at least communicated with membership when it concerns grey areas or potentially grey areas. It isn't fair to membership to have unclear lines and boundaries. Honestly, I would not hold any resentment that you and other mods/admins may have a different interpretation of the rules than I do and that mods/admins have final say.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) Technically the rules are posted very clearly at the top of the page, and everyone who posts in here has agreed to them. They are never followed by anyone (and I will be the first to admit, I am a part of that) so it makes deciding when to take action and what action to take much harder. No one wants to be the bad guy, and usually it just is ignored, and the insults and arguments roll on. Rules-as-written and rules-as-enforced-or-interpreted are never the same thing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 07:01 PM) Without getting into to much detail, there was a discussion about some of the things that were said back and forth in the Martin thread, how and if they violated rules, and what should be done about it. This forum has been historically miserable to moderate. How is anyone to know what the board policy actually is if these things aren't discussed in the open or at least explained to members afterwards?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 06:48 PM) It isn't going to happen. We have found over the years that discussion of suspensions and warnings in pubic leads to much bigger and more personal problems down the road. I didn't mean suspensions and warnings. I was referring to NSS's statement that this forum has become difficult to manage and the discussions about the fillibuster in general. I was pointing out that I personally haven't seen this forum being difficult to manage or moderate. kap's post is not without merit, but I don't see how you can 'fix' that through rules and moderation.

How would moderation change that?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) That's an interesting idea too. To be completely honest, the people that run this site don't have time to do extensive programming or upgrades. That's one of the big issues. Tapatalk support would be awesome. As would a working search function. I understand the time constraints thought, and these are more board technical questions and not board culture questions, which is what the OP seems to be about.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) Would it be possible to make the discussion open to the rest of the users? To clarify, I was referring to the discussion among admins (and mods?) that NSS is alluding to. Open moderation is always a better policy imo, and it's hard to know exactly what I'm supposed to be responding to if I don't really understand what concerns admins have. I can't recall very many warnings or suspensions being handed out back here. I haven't seen posts that have been edited by mods for content aside from one very recent one, and I don't remember threads being locked or posts deleted. I guess I don't really know what the supposed problem back here is.

Would it be possible to make the discussion open to the rest of the users?

boo.

eat a dick phoenix

Cry some more about uncalled penalties phoenix.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) no wonder Corey said something. Smith stuck his face in Sharps face as he went to stand up forKane and Toews. I'm surprised he didn't take another dive as Crawford came up

way to keep control NHL!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Oh hey a penalty happens in front of the ref, AND it gets called. but they missed the blatant hold on Toews on the series before that

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Coyotes Announcers Take on The "Clean Hit" by Torres. According to the Coyotes broadcast team, that hit on Hossa was "clean" and that there was "nothing wrong with it." He maintains his retarded opinion, despite the fact that he points out that Torres hit Hossa in the jaw (which is attached to the head). "as clean of a hit as you'll get" "I don't have a problem with this" moron

Seemingly every ex-NHL player or coach on twitter strongly disagrees.

these were some seriously pathetic PP's

penalty on torres. Really nice job by the 'hawks staying composed with him out there.

Seeing reports that the media is being blacked out on Hossa and there was a police escort to the hospital

KANER!

LOL@NHL

Soldiers Field is not really close to the Metra lines.

I don't know how much of the media's accuracy is due to distortions and how much is due to incompetence/ignorance/being terrible at being journalists.
