What is your definition of 'moderator'
- Thread starter fervorfactor
- Start date
i cancelled the banquet, too.
Hahahaha
I drink your milkshake.
You'll get nothin and like it.
Does he know that anyone can write a blog or post in any thread here? :lol:
I'd ask him, but he quit.
Too bad. Maybe he'll come back in 10 years once the destructive impact has worn off from blogging the 2 letters I wrote and encouraging online fans to email CU their feelings about the coaching situation while demanding a commitment to winning football.
As an aside, AllBuffs members are solid boosters but I would be surprised if we represent more than 10% of the $750k the AD received this week so far in unsolicited new donations.
FervorFactor. It's "for the fans, by the fans". Yes, that's actually the motto.
Nik and the other moderators are fans. That's why they're here. They are fans who (as far as I can tell) have mostly been here since the beginning and gradually took responsibility to help the site function. But they are fans with opinions, and their primary function here is to post.
I'm really missing your beef here. You also can write a blog or start a thread or join the discussion.
Your sense of persecution is without merit, and your frustration towards mods is unfounded.
Also, you seem like a dick. And I've thought that for a while.

I am always amused by the "perfect world" desires to have people running things who are completely free of bias or personal interest.
Simple fact is that sites like this wouldn't exist if not for people who have a high level of personal interest and bias who are motivated to put their time and effort into keeping it running. There aren't a lot of people out there who include "disinterested and unbiased moderator of internet boards" in their inventory of personal interest. If you want that person a whole bunch of people would have to kick the membership up to $15 a month instead of per year and even then it would be hard to find someone.
I have a friend who has served many years on the board of a local fire and ambulance district. He does it for free putting in a lot of time and effort and taking some serious and mostly unfounded grief from residents and others. He does this in spite of the fact that he owns a couple of businesses that gross well into seven figures and could certainly use the time on those or simply on his family and other interest. The reason he does it is because he wants to have the local services provided and if someone doesn't step up they won't happen. Should he forgo fire and ambulance service so as to be a "disinterested and unbiased" board member?
Like many here I probably spend way to much time on this board. Nobody is forcing me to be here, it's a choice. Nobody is forcing the mods to be here either, they are chosing to do it and I thank them because if they didn't have the passion and interest I would have to find some other completely non-productive way to waste my valuable time.

Fervor - under the normal guidelines I'd agree with you but what you are describing is a paid position of expertise, which is not what the people with that title here are. Mods on this site are here because they are passionate about the subject matter and like they regular members all pay to support the site. Several of us also donate significant time and resources to keep this "free" platform running. We've tried to keep the site as open and rule free as possible but the primary function of the mods on here is as Wispy mentioned to enforce the some what lax rules of the site, to be fair to our student athletes, to try and keep the personal attacks under control, to provide an easily accessible discussion platform for CU sports, and to generate content for the site so that our users can continue to enjoy and discuss the program despite the fact that we are being blessed with what is undoubtedly the worst football in Colorado's history. Given those circumstances you'll have to live with those of us that have strong opinions, because without them there is no way we could ever bring ourselves to continue this enterprise.
I don't think that he's had an infraction or even a soft warning about anything through PM.
To the best of my knowledge we have not moderated anything Fevor did, maybe ever.
It seems as though he's annoyed that some mods, Nik included have strong opinions about the program and leverage the platform to get them heard. He seems to believe this is a conflict if interest, rather than the reason the platform exists. Also he seems quite confused about the costs to run this place.
Gotcha. His argument seemed to be that the mods were quelling his pov while stating their own.

Who the **** let you out of the basement? Get back down there!
We just took you and Junc because you were the only guys willing to wade into the cesspool that is the polotics forum.
that, and my wit.
hah. they took the job just cause they need the power to back up their weak ass arguments :smile2:
Actually, it was the wit you sent us.
FYI - if anyone is interested in being a mod, bribery is encouraged.
