let's take this to pms.

That post that Mat quoted was the one that imo OP should have just been permabanned for. Life is short. Dealing with *******s takes time. You want to be an *******, go somewhere else. You don't want to be an *******, then man up and apologize and have a rational discussion with whomever you are having a problem with.

So you think you have a handle on the full scope of the issue at hand because you read a post or two?

The existence of deity(s) is.

I'd love for you to start a thread where you can rationally debate the existence of god. You've already provided a ton of lulz, but I'm always up for more.

Here is a great example of lolmodding by jib

He claims the thread was locked because we were trolling him after I bumped that thread. Instead of deleting the "troll" posts, and/or giving infraction points/warnings, he locks the thread. wtf is that?

This is also the thread where he challenged everyone to change his position from theist to deist, and if you look at his post before the one where he threw a mini-tantrum, you will see that he got to a point where he needed time to look into things because he didn't know how to respond. Here we are almost a year later and he still hasn't honored his word about coming back. A lot of people put in a lot of effort into that thread, and he just bails because he wasn't treated with kid gloves when I bumped it.

He will up and leave a thread after going back and forth with someone for quite some time, never to return, and if you call him out on it he busts out the "I have a job, ya know! I don't just sit around all day thinking about RGT!"

This has caused some animosity amongst Jib and several RGT regulars, including myself. If you need more time to think about something, fine, just say so. There's no need to be childish about it and lock a thread when its bumped just because it wasn't bumped with a, "excuse me, good sir, by chance have you had sufficient time to continue this conversation?"

His latest lulz moment was when he recently started a thread complaining about the lack of high content discussion in RGT. Never mind that he barely even posts there anymore. And never mind that when a high content discussion does take place with him involved, he will flee with no notice. Why should anyone start a conversation with him when they have no way to know if he will see it through? If he wants high content conversation, a good place to start would be the "make me a deist" thread that he last left 11 months ago after needing more time to research and think about things (allegedly).

Look, Jib's clearly a decent guy, he's just annoying to have as a mod based on how he carries himself as a poster.

This is one bit I dont understand, to be frank. Without expressing an opinion one way or the other on Jibninjas in particular - what difference does it make if the moderator is a shoddy poster?

This isn't really a good point, it was Jib's thread and he decided he was done with it. If the OP wasn't Jib and he asked Jib to delete then it would have been locked.

**Mat Sklansky** · 07-22-2011, 12:10 AM

i have to agree it seems strange to lock a 500 post thread. i wouldn't mind knowing a little more about the rationale behind that.

Are you sure this is true? I know it wouldn't be true in all the forums.

Are we seriously just not going to be able to stop you guys from defending people for the sake of defending them because they're in your mini fraternity?

**Mat Sklansky** · 07-22-2011, 12:17 AM

you were successful in getting me to look at this. let's stay focused and not pick fights.

Because eventually the shoddy poster/moderator eventually conspires to say, have the rules of the forum changed to suit his desire to practice avoidance from reality. Have you looked at RGT rules lately? That's exactly what has happened. That is a problem and it is rooted in the fact that too many times Jib has proven to be a poor poster.

There is way more where that came from with regard to Jib's moderating. To be honest it's just extremely tedious for me to go back through all of the RGT threads or all of my posts in order to find even half of them, but I'll try since it seems you are being impartial

**Mat Sklansky** · 07-22-2011, 12:26 AM

i would rather we go one example at a time and hear from Jib himself and others who like his modding before you post more.

I don't know that it's a rule as such, but I would be astonished if either madnak or Jibninjas would ignore an OP's request to lock an RGT thread.
