If you are to be objective and do your job as an impartial judge, the idea that you should be allowed to post opinions in favor of one side of an argument or another flies in the face of the idea that you are an impartial arbitrator.
And beyond that, you guys are not really that good at your job. I had this discussion with Chris a while back via email. He said that you have so much going on that you could never read all posts and stop violations of your rules. Really? If you have enough time on your hands to post your own opinions, then why don't you have enough time to do you jobs? Would it be acceptable to you if I called you a cunt? Didn't think so. You guys have let some of your regular posters use the word, which is objectionable to all self respecting people I know.
So why do you let that sort of thing go? Or even allow the use of the word?
Sooo... please.... don't lecture me.......
You and David2 should start a club.
I post here and have been a member here longer than you. I occasionally post my thoughts or opinions as well. This is not a job, I don't get any perks, and I don't read every post. I have a real job, and I work very long hours at said real job, and I can assure you that eGriz is not nor will never be a "job." I don't want to read every post on here, nor do I have time to read every post. On my site, WyoNation, my moderators post freely just like they do here.. and they do a great job of being moderators as well as posters on the board. Why can't moderators wear both hats? Would you rather I moderate under another screen name like they do at AnyGivenSaturday? You don't get to say what I can and can't post, and Chris is in total agreement with that.. if I want (or any of the other moderators) to participate in a discussion then I will. Being a moderator isn't reading every post, it's cleaning up some of the BS that people on here post.. and we get rid of a lot more than you could probably wrap your head around. Go find me a sports message board where moderators aren't regular posters as well and we'll have this discussion again.
