I agree, this forum is dead without these guys.  At times, I also disagreed with them, but I know they did with me also. 

I ask that they come back also--but this may be a moderator issue and the Mods need to get together and make a group assessment. 

I think this would be a good approach to solving the probelm.  So --are the mods (with whom I do respect) up to it.

Mods did not have anything to do with them deleting thier accounts.  I was told that one certain Moderator is a big cause of the big problem on the board.  This Mod had been quiet for some time and then comes in and throws his power around as a Moderator and stirs more crap than BAG.  IMO he did stir crap before he was a Mod and the even more after he was a MOD.  Hence the term Mafia Moderator!  As for as them coming back.......may not happen for a while if at all.  This will make some people extremely happy.  Am I right T-12? 

How long before my post is deleted?  8:14pm

[Gabe]

Nobody is going to delete your post or should not.

RAGS.....GET THOSE GUYS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAGS.....GET THOSE GUYS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just passing on the information I got a little while ago. 

Word is they will not be back until a certain Moderator is no longer a Moderator.  I also know of others that deleted thier accounts today.  They feel they would be on even "Playing Fields" if he was just a posters.

Just the messenger................ :

[Bobcat1]

I don't think because they're gone it's "dead" what could you talk about?  There is nothing going on right now thanks to UIL.

I have a feeling they are watching...they just aren't posting...

They'll be back when Nederland goes to state!!

Or it could be that there is nothing going on until May 11th.  :

Bobcat your #2 on their list of Mods they want out.  Be careful how and what you post!  Many of the posters are deleting accounts.  Just heard of another from Barber Hill area that is cutting loose his account.

Reason:  Feel Mods(not all) can do and say what they want and have no consciences.

Use your MOD powers and find thier accounts!

If they deleted them, they'll have to re register. Now re register.

BH posters cancelling...I think not.  We have our own clique.

did any body go east to the state tourny

Our softball forum has been a place for discussion, to gain knowledge, and have agreements and disagreements on our sport. We laugh with some and laugh at others. The restrictions lately to almost all user interactions, has stifled some of the most interesting debates on our sport.

The Moderators are not the police, and should never repress the community interaction. Most on this softball forum have been through the wars of this softball world for ten years or more. Traveled all over this country following our darling daughters from field to field and most truly love this sport and what it has done for our children.

The moderators have crack down so hard lately on members the second they have stepped out of line, that you have sent a negative message to our community that free speech is not tolerated on this site. You have made members so mad that they have deleted their accounts and seem to discouraged other members from getting involved. This is hardly the ingredients for a successful forum.

Lately, many post have been locked and deleted because the moderators don't like the topic. I am not saying that forum moderators shouldn't be allowed to delete or lock threads that are inappropriate. But they should not be deleted because they don't like the subject matter. I for one miss our old softball forum.

Respectfully,

Johnny Zink (RangerDad)

This is the last post I will post about talking about the 'crack' down. You only know what your 'clique' says, yet you have not been messaged from other members who don't post on here because they don't want there team/daughter/sister/cousin/etc to be talked about by the 'clique'.

Should they come back, yes, will this board go on if they don't, yes it will. Have some things happend that shouldn't I'm sure it has, is it so serious that some had to delete their account, I don't think so, but I guess I could never delete my account because I'm addicted.

We all have different personalities, some people may know who my family is, but trust me I am nothing like my brother or sister (who a lot of you know), they're quiet and humble. I am neither; I'm sarcastic, argumentative, and hilarious. 8)

The thing that annoys me the most (and a lot of other people who read on here) is when trying to find out things about the games and what happend, who scored, who made the errors, it always turns into juiceboxes and what happend in select ball that summer. Just try to stay on topic at least the first day so we can read about what really happend, then juicebox it up!! ;D

No hurt feelings, I don't care that I'm 2nd on the hit list to get to boot from being a MOD. At least I'm not number one

Ranger here comes my argumentative side...

You have made members so mad that they have deleted their accounts and seem to discouraged other members from getting involved. This is hardly the ingredients for a successful forum.

This goes both ways then, there are people who are labled 'newbies' and have no 'credit' so there opinion does not matter, also people who REFUSE to post because of the reasons I already stated.

Ok, the end. Everyone relax, have a 'juicebox', and when you're ready to come back you will.

We'll get the guys back!!

I know that's right.  Glad to see someone from BH actually admit that.

I didn't necessarily mean it in good way, tnt

My last thought on this before I leave it alone, promise.  I agree with RangerDad AND Bobcat here, but there was regular breaking of the forum rules AND some overeation by Mod's.  Its important to remember that free speech is NOT guaranteed on this board, nor is it a democracy.  Its a good board and I hope it continues.  Hijacking threads with obscure "inside' references is annoying but not that hard to skim on past.  Speaking negatively of any player should be a one warning and then your out, period. 

I think taking your marbles and going home cause you don't like the rules is fine, but remember that this is the only marble game in town.

I'll take all the blame if it helps, I'm used to it. Cheater's been dogging me for years
