Post Count Discrepancy

[Jazz Insider]

And trolling is against the rules.

So his post was spot on, and not in the least beside the point.

I didn't receive an infraction for trolling, i received it for circumventing the profanity filter. After I presented evidence I mentioned above, you changed it to 'trolling' because that's so vague, you can pick and choose whatever you want, and punish anyone for anything carte blanche. Just like my post count was fudged. Hmm, weird, right? What I actually posted is not against the rules, per your own admission, your interpretation and assumption of my intent is what is supposedly 'trolling'.

Yet-- there was another thread created on the front page, which is still there as I type, that CLEARLY breaks the rules point-blank. Without a need for any vague interpretations, and not only has it gone unpunished, you even liked it. I don't want anything done to that thread, or that poster, i'm just mentioning it to highlight the hypocrisy. Doesn't really matter though, I'm sure you'll just brush it off with little actual concern-- as you, moe, and jason have done countless times to countless posters. Then the likes of nate and bigb will come in with their strawman jokes to further marginalize, humiliate and bury. it's like clockwork with you guys. and you try 'awfully damn hard' at it. Keep up the good work.

Dubious? No way, the guy plays in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference...that place is a gold mine of NBA talent.

There have been players who have made it to the NBA from lesser known places. You do know this as fact, right? Just making sure, since you may not have had enough time to pay attention to the sport of basketball, being so busy working awfully damn hard moderating and all.

Moderators can only select one reason from the list of options when issuing an infraction through the infraction system. It doesn't mean there was only one reason.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

If you think you're being picked on because of who you are, you're dead wrong. We would have infracted ANYONE who had started a thread like that.

How about you try not breaking the rules. And not even pushing the boundaries. And then see how your experience improves.

But why was he infracted for circumventing the profanity filters and then when the mods found that was not legit it was changed to trolling?

Seems like someone just wanted to punish jazz insider no matter what he posts.

Also, there is alot of trolling that does not get infracted. (Vindication of ty Corbin thread comes to mind)

Ncolorado jazz has never made a post that was not trolling

Give me a break. It was an obvious troll in order to attempt to bypass the filter.

Really...like where.

It was legit. It doesn't matter if that's the guys name or not. It's not even a hard concept to grasp. Hell, his own team won't put his last name on the back of his jersey.

Such an insult for a future NBA prospect that joined Canada's community college basketball league

Colt45, as I alluded to above, this is a losing battle from my end. Literally no matter what I say-- no matter how much logic, reason, and rationale I bring up, you'll deflect and just cut it down with your sword of power rather than address it with understanding and concern. There's an entire attitude of mgmt here speaking TO posters rather than WITH us.

And BTW a record log of infractions (as I have suggested in another thread) may help give you a clue since there is apparently so much "you have no idea" about. You are really telling me the rules are applied evenly across the site, rather than specific posters being targeted? With a straight face, without having consumed about a dozen or so of GameFace's fine craft moonshine? With all due respect--"LMAO."

I have hesitated to post the specific example I mentioned above, because I do NOT want any part of this thread to be edited or the OP to be punished in anyway, but since you're forcing the issue here: https://jazzfanz.com/showthread.php...ep-Climbing-Up-the-Crowded-Western-Conference

Isn't posting ENTIRE articles, word-for-word, clearly against the rules? Of course, I can't prove it, since you guys refuse to give us transparency of past infractions--cuz yall are so busy working awfully damn hard and whatnot, but I'm positive there have been instanced in the past where a post has been edited/deleted, and posters warned/frac'd for this same reason. Yet here we have a thread with no acton taken, and stoked, colton, and jason "liking" it. That's a mod, an admin, and an owner. The trifecta. This is just ONE example of hypocrisy that just so happened to be right next to the thread I created. If I were so inclined, I'm sure I could put on my troll-hunter glasses and find a buncha others that you guys failed to infract.

 

[Jazz Insider]

Really...like where.

You want me to look it up and tell you. What reason do I have to do this work for you? If I prove you wrong, what will happen? You'll make some snide remark, marginalize, and brush it aside. It's not like you'll actually DO anything if proven wrong. Will you get my infraction removed? My thread restored? What? Provide me incentive, and I'll do your work for you.

I don't understand the question. There was no change in the reason for his infraction.

Life is black and white for you. That's great. My life isn't so I'm jealous of what you have.

As for this post, report it and we'll smoke cigars and discuss it in our secret lair without you. We've been pretty strict on items that are behind a pay wall as it relates to posting content. This, I'm not sure. Report it and we'll NOT let you know how it goes down because we have too much going on and we work "awfully damn hard".

...because posting a full article (with a link to the source) is so similar to posting a thread on a player with a last name that isn't allowed on national television claiming you're discussing a future pick. Makes sense.

We do have a record of infractions. Making that record *public* is what you were suggesting. That's very different.

You are really telling me the rules are applied evenly across the site, rather than specific posters being targeted? With a straight face, without having consumed about a dozen or so of GameFace's fine craft moonshine? With all due respect--"LMAO."

I am telling you exactly that. There is absolutely no targeting of specific posters. Absolutely none. There never has been, there never will be. I am serious enough about that that I would so testify in a court of law. All reported posts are handled in the exact same way, with three mods voting in favor of infraction of warning required before action is taken. The only difference between posters is if someone has been previously warned about an item it's more likely to result in an infraction the second time instead of a warning again.

You can LMAO all you want, but you are entirely incorrect.

No. Posting *paid* articles, like ESPN Insider, is against the rules. But posting free articles isn't against the rules. And it never has been.

Of course, I can't prove it, since you guys refuse to give us transparency of past infractions--cuz yall are so busy working awfully damn hard and whatnot, but I'm positive there have been instanced in the past where a post has been edited/deleted, and posters warned/frac'd for this same reason.

And yet your memory is incorrect.

Yet here we have a thread with no acton taken, and stoked, colton, and jason "liking" it. That's a mod, an admin, and an owner. The trifecta.

So maybe you should give us the benefit of the doubt instead of automatically jumping to the "mods are horrible, inconsistent, and have a personal vendetta against me" scenario. If nothing else, it would help you avoid looking stupid when you complain that three mods have liked a post that you thought was against the rules, but that really wasn't.
