Just curious. Is the site in need of mods?

    Well, I think you should be banned too, but only because you exhibit a preternatural tolerance for fans of other teams.

      It is but when it does happen, rules need to be consistent and punished equally.
      How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

        I didn't even know any of this stuff happened.

        I wonder if that poster I thought was a sock puppet was really SM?

        FWIW I think the mods here do a great job. Thanks for doing a thankless (and I'm sure unpaid) job.

        I appreciate that you're being transparent in the mod thread.

        I think it's silly if whatever is campaigning to be a mod.

            Transparent?
            Mods won’t respond to any inquiries. Nobody will say who the mods actually are and How did they get their position.
            Everything is cloak and dagger behind the scenes setups.
            It’s amazing how many posters here don’t have the morals to admit what’s right and what’s wrong.
            What, Too afraid that you’ll be out on the naughty list?
            If a fan favorite was wrongly banned, you’d lose your mind. Seeing that it is a guy you don’t like, you justify it different rules for different people.

            Besides, what job have you seen the mods do that you think is ‘great’?
            Give examples, please

              I had no clue either.

              I thought we were just all collectively bummed about the state of the team and some guys were either so depressed they stopped posting for a bit or they just got busy during the holidays.

              I tend to think everyone does the best they can. Posters and mods. Everyone has a bad day or struggles with something from time to time or all the time. And I just assume people are doing 100x better than I would in their shoes dealing with whatever they deal with. I tend to like everyone and just try to focus on the positives everyone brings to the table.

              I?ve never actually read the board rules or thought much about them, but if they are too hard for folks to understand, maybe they could make them simpler like ?be awesome? to keep it positive or ?don?t be a douche? for those that need negative reinforcement???

              and then assume people are being as awesome or not as douchey as they are capable of.

                    I assure you, I’d much more readily hang out with you than some pretend Steeler fans here. I have no doubt you like the Steelers more than they do.

                      There's only one team I like, but I do respect what the Steelers have done over the course of many decades, starting in the 70s.

                      And there are a number of teams I really dislike (Jets, Colts, a couple of others). And some others I don't respect, but don't care enough to dislike (Chargers, Commanders, several others).

                        Believe me you LIKE the Steelers more than many here. They have the Steelers in the LAST category you list below:

                            This site doesn't need more mods. It just needs people to act like adults and stop calling out each other at every turn. Life is too short to worry so much about what people on a football fan message board think.

                              Exactly.
                              But when that does happen, rules should be followed equally and fairly.

                                maybe if everyone would worry more about their own actions than the actions of others and or consequences of others (unless you are the "other" in disguise trying to have your ban revoked) and get back to football the reason this board was created .... then this place would be better for it ?? just a thought ...

                                Maniac is gone and so is his bullying attitude and threats be happy about that and be happy something was done .... the mods took a shot over the bow of every poster and let them know enough is enough ... time to move on and be BETTER posters
                                @dwinsgames on twitter .... Kenny Pickett is who I thought he was ....
