Tony Montana deserves better 

Post#1 » by sideshow » Mon Jun 1, 2009 9:09 pm

Tony Montana was engaging in a playful back and forth with a moderator.

Names were called both ways.

Tony Montana is suspended. Mod is still mod.

Why are there double standards?

Tony Montana is a very controversial poster, maybe that's why?

Three questions:

1. Who are you?
2. What is controversial about a basketball interest message board?
3. Who are you?

LOL.



I want the standard set. Right Now. You cannot call anyone an "idiot" on realgm anymore. That deserves a three day suspension.


That's idiotic.

Your thinking of the Laker fan.

This thread is about another Tony Montana who frequents the current affairs board.

Edit: LMAO at suspending a person for calling someone an "idiot" (I read through the thread) just because that person happened to be a mod. Warning maybe, but suspension, really? Then about half the posters here would be suspended including the mods...
Damn

So:

Tony and Jollay go back and forth.
Jollay reports Ton'y post.
The conversation is reviewed and Tony is suspended.
Jollay's behavior isn't taken into account because he wasn't reported? Even though his post's were looked at too, right?

Is that right?

Howard, this whole thing started a couple weeks ago. If you read through the thread below, you'll see Jollay started with the insults and almost seems to be baiting Tony into a fight:

viewtopic.php?f=69&t=906805&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15

I would hope that if Tony does file a complaint, the attached thread be taken into consideration. Thanks.

Damn, Jollay started attacking him for no reason. He's the one that should be punished.

Jollay is a rogue mod and needs to be put down.

This is the reason why I never post on RealGM anymore. Every year, older posters would complain about how the new crop of posters were never as good as the year before. I can't comment on the quality of posters today as opposed to 2003 or 2004, when I was most active, but the upper ups and mods are HYPER-sensitive towards criticism and "out of line" behavior. The greatest thread in RealGM history, The Other MJ's discussion of the Eroticage, NEVER would have gotten past the third post before he was suspended for a week.

When mods engage in this behavior, even if it's responding to an instigator (which it seems that Jollay was intentionally poking T_M), then your staff loses all credibility. This is just utter garbage. mahalo
