Moderator DecisionsThere are General Rules in this Forum, and all of RealGM, itself.
And at times, there are specialized, and/or more specific Rules.
This is in an effort to keep this Forum running smoothly.
Moderators are people too. As are our other Forum Members.
We All actually have other things to do, in Real Life, in addition to our online duties, and activities, respectively.
When a Mod makes a decision, it could be wrong. But, it is not meant to hurt anyone; so follow it nevertheless.
In the meantime, you may choose to avail yourself of all the Appeals Process that RealGM has to offer.
If you disagree strongly with a Mods Decision, then you may go to a Senior Mod, in that Forum.
If in turn, you are unsatisfied with their Decision, you may continue to Appeal, all the way up to Howard Mass.

If the rules of this forum are enforced here to its fullest, people will not post here. I have seen things worse than post padding, but it goes ignored. There are rules that are not enforced, this is supposed to be a strictly a sports forum but that is not always the case here. Someone posting something similar to their original pist or someone else is now an issue.I know the reasons why my post was removed but i wouldn't make a big deal out of it. I am not going to go into a power struggle with anyone, back and forth with anyone. I am simply a poster. As soon as i made that last schedule most i knew it was going to be a problem with a mod/mods because a mod made a similar post. I was going to be attacked for it. I hesitated posting it. It is truly sad.
I will simply not re-post the things off social media here. No one has the time to scroll up and down every page, even though i do it , at least sometimes to see if someone posted something similar to theirs before reading the whole page/pages. Posting similar things has not being an issue until recently. It is just not worth it. I am not going to monitor every single post i make, should i post it or not, should i remove it or not, is it going to removed. It takes the joy of being in a forum, and it takes time, and energy to do that. It wouldn't stop at posts off online/social media but my opinions. I accept the rules of this forum even if i don't agree with them, and i have moved on.
I have moved on. I am going to mostly read the forum, and rarely post. It is just better that way. I follow the rules here to the best of my abilities yet it doesn't stop some people from going after me. I am all set with re-posting things here. Yes you have to follow the rules and watch what you say, but not to the extent of watching everything you say, every word. At that point why even be in the forum.
Afam,
No ill-will is directed toward you. Mods are just trying to keep things running smoothly.
However, you do do things that other posters do not do.
You have a tendency to Derail Threads, with other subjects.
Such as making 30 posts about Kyrie Irving leaving or staying, while in a Game Thread.
Or delivering your personal tirade, as you have done here.
You also tend to post identical info (Twitter, etc) as other posters, a few posts away, on the same Thread page.
Which is obviously visible, and takes away from other Posters time.
It is Understandable, if it were at least a few pages away.
There are several other things. But, to make a Long Explanation, short.
You have been specifically asked not to do some things.
Without going into tedious detail. This is again, for the general benefit of the whole Forum.
Most posters (even trolls from other forums) only have to be told something once.
You, on the other hand, are highly defiant, aka passive-aggressive. (See article below.)
There are many posters, who are Warned, or Banned, for much less.
Don't make it more difficult for Mods to govern, or for Posters to enjoy the Forum.
Make it easier.

How to Understand and Identify Passive-Aggressive BehaviorBy Kendra Cherry | Updated March 25, 2019
https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-passive-aggressive-behavior-2795481Passive-aggressive behaviors are those that involve acting indirectly aggressive rather than directly aggressive. Passive-aggressive people regularly exhibit resistance to requests or demands from family and other individuals often by procrastinating, expressing sullenness, or acting stubborn.
