Allowing the inmates to run the asylum is always the safe way to go.
Nice suggestion.
I gotta say... I'm on the side of ownership on this one. Any rule proposal should be suggesting whether alts should be allowed.. not what the penalty should be (because without some absolutes there's no rule at all) and never left to members to decide on a one up basis (popularity contest anyone?).
Not to mention that this website is certainly no substantial money maker and rules enforcement needs to be fairly efficient.
I have ZERO problem with Cy getting banned. None. Would I rather have him here? Definitely. Do I think the rule needs changed on alts?
To be honest, I'm not sure. But this indictment of management is more embarrassing than anything.
I make fun of Jason and Colton at times for the whole 'family friendly' site thing... just because I think it's utterly ridiculous considering it's a sports message board and there's just millions of years of DNA to contend with ... but it's Jason's site and I 100% respect that.
I think many alt accts have been hilarious. I think many have been awful. But how do we justify expecting the mods to monitor things to the level they're polling us on which are acceptable? If I owned this site there would be FAR fewer bannings largely due to me running people off before they even got that far. I'd be fairly quick to flip people off and tell them to kiss my ***.
My opinion on this whole thing is that it SUCKS that Cy is banned... but I don't even blame Jason 1%.
Want to make change? Make solid suggestions with empathy toward everyone involved... and not merely grandstand for the sake of a popularity tic mark on your bedpost.
I know this post will piss everybody off...... but tough ****.
