He enjoyed the power of being a volunteer moderator a bit too much and now he's starting a J.D. Vance style glamour piece on a new board trying to hold on to his pathetic one and only claim to fame.

Ask you anything huh? I wasn't a frequent or well known poster but I had 2000+ posts over a 7 or 8 year period without a single warning of any kind. I got banned with no communication whatsover from anyone for a mild joke of the Chappelle variety. If it crossed a line so be it, but there should have been communication of some kind and at least a warning or temporary ban first. Why was that?

The bottom line is you are completely full of shit. You moderated like an insecure, power tripping little bitch and the moderating on the ZZLP board was completely arbitrary depending on how much insecurity you needed to overcompensate for on any given day. I easily came back under a different name and did the same thing I always did, mainly using the board as a news source and just commenting here and there. And the moderating always resembled something out of a sixth grade classroom when the teacher left the room and told the class nerd to "take names".

So I call bullshit on this little effort to save face on your shitty moderating. There was no rhyme or reason to it. It was at your whim, and I certainly hope anyone who enjoys that nonsense banning, splitting up fucking threads over bullshit, and locking threads up for no reason whatsover has a decent psychiatrist. You are fucking pathetic.

Still looking for response to my question about commenting on threads you heavily moderated. I understand you suffered a massive head injury last night but when you get your senses back.

I think you need to separate the opinion page, which I liken to a message board, and what goes on page 1. For me there was a lot more leeway on what passed muster in the opinion page. When some thought is allowed and other isn't there is an interest danger related to the goalkeeper. I think we saw that with the pandemic as do much misinformation was out out early to be corrected later. For example if some conspiratorial nut wants to suggest in a letter to the editor that Helene was manmade to steal lithium rights or whatever, have at it. I don't feel inclined to protect you from your in stupidity. Folks can sort it out. Page 1 is a different animal

Did the moderators know the truth about the owners of IC and them knowingly keeping that info from subscribers for profit and greed?

I have no idea what you're referencing, so we were obviously kept in the dark.

It would be so much more interesting if you shared your secret knowledge so that we can all know whatever it is you're talking about.

Why do you think a rambling wreck from Georgia Tech is so heavily engaged on a UNC message board to begin with? (this is a question for Snoop... not you jacket). Do you think it's because of the political discourse? Did jacket ever poast on other boards besides the golf board? Is there no GaTech message board with golf and politics? (That question may be for you, jacket)

It's an honest question. I've never ventured over to any Tech message boards. No interest in that at all. I did venture over to TDD a couple of times, because d00k... and I was banned post haste because I cast aspersions about k-rat. I get that. But d00kies got away with slamming Dean or Roy all the time - they didn't get banned as quickly as I did over there.

As IC has always been one of the biggest sites on whatever network it's on (Insiders/Scout/247) and the ZZL/P has been one of the largest off-topic/political boards on those same networks, the ZZL/P has long attracted folks from other sites.

On the whole we tried to moderate them like everyone else, although they did get a bit less leeway before bans were put in, especially if their infractions were related to anti-UNC posts.

edit: typo

I understand that page 1 news is different from an opinion page, but I still don't think that should mean anything goes. No newspaper should ever print anything stating that Helene was manmade to steal lithium rights no matter where it is located. It's irresponsible and in the age of misinformation it contributes to the idiocrification (yes my word) of society.

Given that trust in the legacy media is at an all time low and misinformation is more rampant and pernicious than ever, I don't know why anyone would want to follow the advice that got us to that point.
 
I went on TDD when ZZLP died . I enjoyed it. One day I cut and paste some IC post about school rankings-it was the one a while back that rated UNC and Duke way low
I did not sincerely notice in the rankings I copied that Duke was spelled dook
Kind of ended any tolerance TDD had for mpaer . I pretty much stay away now as several posters automatically piss on my posts
It was sincerly my bad

I tend to agree with heel79. Just because someone posts on here that FEMA is shooting people driving up the mountain to bring aid or whatever, nobody believes it. The kooks aren't changing any minds. They're just looking like an idiot. Most people can sort that out.

Thanks for response - and sounds as reasonable as anything else I guess. But surely somebody like jacket knows he is on somebody else's lawn, and to piss on their flowers, or antagonize the owner's dog or scare the cat is simply not neighborly. Shouldn't one be a humble visitor in someone else's home?

And after egregious actions like that, if the owner says: "get off my lawn" I would hope the interloper would either stfu of find another sandbox in which to take a dump. Do better jacket.

I don't see how you can say that when we have a massive problem with people believing false information.
 
Tend to agree. I was talking pre pandemic but there was also a lot of info out out about vivid that was wrong and dissenters were locked and denied platforms.
