BIG General Board Changes 

Post#1 » by bwgood77 » Sat Feb 18, 2017 3:42 am

I noticed some of you have read only access or a strike on the General Board. I just wanted to let you know, in case you were not aware, that it was easy to get this removed now if you'd like to post there again.

All you have to do is send Howard Mass a PM letting him know you want an account review. See below from The Mass Dispatch written by Howard Mass

General NBA Board Account Review

Any User with one strike, two strikes, read-only access or a full General NBA Board Ban can simply send me a PM and request that their account be reviewed.

They may write whatever they want in the PM or they can choose to write nothing. It's their choice although I would recommend writing something.


The General NBA Board Moderator Appeals Committee which is made up by multiple members of the 12 members of the Moderator Team on the General NBA Board will then review the account.

It's possible that they will vote to...........

- Remove a strike from your record.

- Remove multiple strikes from your record.

- Lift your Read-Only access or General NBA Board Ban.

- Give you a "Clean Slate" on our General NBA Board.


Here is a link to Mass Dispatch if you care to read. viewtopic.php?f=437&t=1519552

Many users who have asked have gotten access back, and I think there is a good chance many of you would as well.

If you want to know if you have a strike, PM me and let me know and I will check.

That's fine, but it's been two years since your last warning, and the one who gave the most of them is gone.

No announcement, but hasn't been around in a while and GB team has changed quite a bit (partly last August and more just recently).

I have not seen him post in GB for a while... not that I frequent in GB so I can't say that for certain though.

Ohhhhh. Has anyone been promoted in his place? Or is everyone just trying to iron things out right now?

Promoted to the General board? There are a couple new General Board mods. One is just coming back and one new one.

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1519399

Some others, including me, were added in August. We have been trying to make it more laid back, fewer locked threads, etc.

Seriously, I'm glad to see that changes have been made. I bet that over time 1/2 the traffic was run off the GB.

A 2-year ban? These mods need to lighten up a little, sorry.
