Jazz Insider actually mentioned his post count change in the UGLI forum.
So you decided to play the post count white knight? Great.

It was more like looking for a straight answer and, shockingly, not getting one.
Well, at least now you have cause to focus on.
Hey JI - did the mods delete your thread in the Jazz forum yesterday? I couldn't find it anywhere.
Yes.
I also received an infraction for circumventing the profanity filter.
I communicated with the admin. that I just correctly spelled the player's actual name--and only used that word in that relevant context.
And also mentioned that his name was put into print on numerous well-respected and mainstream mediums.
One specific medium being SB Nation-- which is relevant because it happens to be a source hand-picked by JazzFanz.com to be featured in the newsfeed forum. When faced with all the evidence, including the fact that I had simply done what JazzFanz had already essentially endorsed, I was then told that I was not infracted for the official reason that was given--but due to "trolling," which was determined for some ultimately biased and presumptuous reason.
There is plenty of irony to note here, but what I find especially hilarious is that there happened to be another thread on the front page which CLEARLY (and i mean black-and-white) broke the rules--yet it was not edited, deleted, or infracted in any way. In fact, it was "liked" by several members of the moderation/admin./ownership team--accurately described as the Triangle of Tyranny. Yet my posts which apparently fall under the vague rule of "trolling" were deleted, infracted, and my post count fudged.
Hilarious. And hypocrisy at it's finest.
For all the standards this place claims to strive for, there is a fundamental flaw in the infrastructure that will always hold it back. I've tried exposing the cracks, but admittedly failed in my own mission to educated the masses. Unfortunately, due to my failures, it'll only be visible once the cracks become craters and the entire building comes crumbling down.
Oh well. At least I can say I tried my best.
Good luck, friends.
Yeah if the FO was thinking hard about drafting that player then I can see why you'd bring up that guy. But your intention was dubious at best.... it was an obvious troll attempt and the last I check a troll attempt is infraction worthy also.

That is besides the point but this being your response, as I stated above, is a failure on my part.
Either something is against the rules or it's not.
Dubious? No way, the guy plays in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference...that place is a gold mine of NBA talent.Yeah if the FO was thinking hard about drafting that player then I can see why you'd bring up that guy.

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.
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.
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?And trolling is against the rules.
So his post was spot on, and not in the least beside the point.
