Well, last night, the sh!tty part of modding this site reared its ugly head, and we had to ban a very popular member for an extended period of time. It was not an easy decision in a sense, because he was so popular with many of you guys and I gave him every chance to correct himself, both privately and publicly, but he choose keep right on going.

Just to let many of you know who loved the guy, it was warranted. I'm going to take a ton of heat from you guys (as I did the last time he was banned), but again, he was warned plenty of times. I even sent a PM to a couple of you asking you guys to try to see if you could reign him in, but to no avail.

You can't go around attacking people personally just because you don't like the information they are providing the site, or you don't like the fact that he won't reveal himself publicly (NOBODY needs to reveal their names here), or the fact they won't reveal their sources. You can't call people azzholes or pedophiles or all the other names he called him and others, no matter what. And what is worse, it was completely unprovoked. And you can't bag on people b/c they misspell a few words, call people fraud's, brag about how many people you kicked the 'chit' out of (making it sound like a threat in the process), you can't bag on a mod who was simply trying to bring the board back to civility (a different mod, not me). I could go on and on. Again, he was warned several times by 2 different mods, but ignored them, even starting a new thread to start pissing wars.

It's pretty friggin' sad that the mods have to waste their time deleting posts and deleting threads and typing long PMs trying get a guy to calm down IN THE OFF-SEASON. And why? Because a guy had the audacity to give us some 'inside info' a few times (that so far has come true). What's going to happen during the regular season and the Irish let another team get a first down? Armageddon? I understand arguments (I get into them all the time with Wooly LOL), but let's keep it civil.

I'm working on a set of rules (sad huh?) that will get us ready for the season. Several nice guys and great posters were put off by the events that transpired last night and in the wee hours of this morning, and I don't blame them. It was ridiculous. This board is phenomenal most of the time - let's work to keep it that way.

Go ahead and post your thoughts here, good or bad, or send me a PM if you feel like cussing me out...

Modding is a thankless job. Thank you for all you do.

I really don't see why you would get any heat for what happened. I like the guy, but his banning was deserved. I've sad this many time NDinLA, but you do a great job as a MOD and really keep this site together.

Thanks to LAX, it is now a thankful job. Maybe he can do some community service so you can let him on the team before the season starts. Oh wait, he is not going to impact our ability to win or represent us in the NFL so I really don't care if you kick him off campus or not.

For the record I really like the person that got banned (assuming it’s just one). However, this was the ugliest thing I have ever experienced on IE (including some ppl antagonizing the situation). Sad really.

As far as NDnLA you did the right thing to clean this up....and we ALL appreciate you and what you do. Cheers.

It's more of a period of time now, than an event. This has happened several other times since I've been here, so at this point, those of us who like the person in question should understand. Don't fret NDinL.A.

FEEL goddammit! Sorry I had to :) Thanks for the explanation, but as a previous poster mentioned, none was needed. You guys all do an excellent job with this board and sometimes the tough decisions have to be made. It seems like you guys gave every opportunity possible to right the ship, and were essentially disregarded. Left you know (Hi, GBdomer) choice really.

It's a shame but appreciate your efforts. I've always felt the internet and email tend to give people a freedom to voice opinions in a manner they would probably never do in person.

Good stuff starts tomorrow, can't wait!!!

Can I get a two sentence summary of what transpired?

Talk and debate turned lively after staff told Schutt no room at the inn for him. Neutered got nasty.

I actually never saw any of his posts, so I don't know what all was actually said. And then there was the butt cheek incident that Georgia just mentioned. That's never cool.

Actually, I made that part up about the cheeks!

I wasn't on here last night, but did it go something like this:

Sorry, I am home sick today and bored.

All kidding aside though, all the Mods do a great job of making this a really fun place. We all understand what had to be done and no one should give you any heat for it.
