There was another thread here not long ago about a Mod having a personal vendetta against a poster and then unfair containment/harassment. I actually don't know too much about that case, but at least there is a "voice" here where the aggrieved can be heard. It is not even about justice or retribution. I am open to a discussion.

The problem is the same people come over here and it is OOT Containment: ATF Style.

I actually get 27offsuit's severe problem with me. I am profiting off his misery. He obviously has a severe case of allergies and I can't imagine how inconveniencing that must be. And to be trapped in the air with no escape must be horrifying.

He has ruled dogs off limits even in OOT Containment. His house, his rules.

golf,

FTR you are the ONLY dip**** banned right now in all of 2+2, aside from a guy who asked to be banned. Let that sink in.
Instead of:

Dear Valued Member,

We appreciate your community involvement. We have received a couple of reports of posting about ESA's in a thread outside of ESA. We want to ensure all postings are related to the subject message thread.

Thank you for the attention and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. We greatly value your continuing contribution to the ESA Thread. Please don't hesitate to reach out anytime and discuss any concerns.

Happy Straight Flushes,

27offsuit has allowed a few posters to repeatedly post:

After EVERYTHING I POST. This is in the ESA Scam thread. Which I am perfectly ok with the title.

I was once a vegetarian. Can I go to the "Cook Steaks" thread and after every post write, "Who cares you ****ing Animal Killer. I want people like you eaten alive by animals."?

Somebody should hold 27offsuit responsible for not performing his Mod duties. He is an active poster in that thread, and shocker, it is his minions that he allows to get away with egregiously violating OOT Posting Rules.

If you don't like a thread subject, do what normal people do and ignore it.

So, I ask again, who Mods the Mods? I would like to see 27offsuit delete those posts for a start.

I am not going to discuss this here because it would be very inflammatory, but the answer to that is also yes.

I expect 27offsuit to start acting like the good Moderator he knows he can be, stop pandering, stop being abusive which sets a poor example, and start by protecting the weakest members of the community which makes the overall community that much stronger.
02-16-2018 , 03:43 PM
Golf is uniquely bad at posting. Possibly a discarded Russian bot that got hung up on ESA's for some reason.

In fact it's funny he says that when OOT has long believed in culling the herd.

Then you should be first in line for being one of the worst ****ing posters period as well as your doppelgänger cs3.

Let's see if 27offsuit has the guts to follow the OOT Posting Rules and temp-ban you for intentionally derailing the ESA Scam thread with the same message over and over.

At least show some creativity if you want to insult someone. That I get and appreciate.

Golf,

I can’t divulge specifics, but I can tell you that some of the things you’ve brought to light are stirring up a real hornet’s nest of arguments between factions at the highest levels of 2p2 leadership.

These conflicts have been brewing for years, but you’ve just finally broken things open with some of the things you’ve posted in this thread that can no longer be denied by some of the mods and their supporters in executive management.
02-16-2018 , 04:19 PM
wow

-they saw cases, asked if they were guitars or what
-he took out pellet gun with scope on it
-people in sauna'pool area saw him through his window holding gun, called police

-police go way over top with their swat **** as usual
-have guy on ground in hallway with hands on head
-all they have to do is go over and cuff him
-start giving him multiple different orders while guy is visibly ****ting his pants
-end up ordering him to crawl to cops, wtf is that?

-guy starts crawling and on like 3rd crawl his sagging shorts begin to fall and he stupidly reaches back with his right arm to pull pants up and is immediately shot like 5 times with AR-15

"Cop" is no longer a cop, but gets acquitted of basically cold-blooded murder. Entire video is enraging, guy was your typical power-tripping douchewad as is shown multiple times on video.

-no excessive alcohol in system, no drugs
-married, father of two
-video was not shown at trial
-asshat cop had "You're ****ed" printed onto his AR-15

So golf, I suggest you just stfu now.
1) The cop who shot the suspect was not the one speaking.
2) The video was shown 100 times at the trial. Frame-by-frame and using different bodycams. Multiple witnesses testified to it.

I don't have a problem with him being wrong. We all can be. It is talking like he is THE authoritative figure, making it seem like I am clueless, and ending it all with an insult using bad language.

So, how does one engage in discussions regarding anything? Does he have so much credibility that he can just completely make **** up?

Here is a Mod who is the Mesa Cop and I am the guy just having a friendly conversation in the hotel room. I am pulled into Containment under false pretenses, shouted at by a bunch of power-hungry people alongside of him, abusive language directed at me, I am confused and I make one "false' move where I was set-up by people asking me about ESAs, and the Mod shot me.

Isn’t aggro chest thumping a Boston thing? I think it brings a certain flare and isn’t a problem in small amounts.

Golf, you're posting way too often and with too many words like you always do. If you have a complaint, take time to organize your thoughts, and then state your concern as succinctly as possible and sit back and let the higher ups digest what you've said.
02-16-2018 , 05:51 PM
Hey golf,

What about Larry and Alobar? Does this mean if I just ignore you like they do I will no longer feel your WRATH?

No, all I am asking is for you not to use abusive language because it gives the impression to others that it is ok as well as hold posters to the same standards of not derailing threads with stupid messages. If someone does not like a thread, there is no reason they should even enter it. If they do, it should be "of value".

Someone replied.
I like the stories, and if someone isn't interested in them, I don't understand why they are even reading this thread.

Should it be allowed/accepted for a Mod to antagonize or insult a poster?

Correct me if I am being too simplistic.

Warning and then a ban if necessary in a professional manner seems straight forward.

Re: OOT Containment Thread, for people who post poorly.
So he complained and you reopened it? Urgh. He probably has a point with people going into the ESA thread and trolling him. Just leave him alone and let people who want to genuinely engage with him do so. Well that's my opinion anyway fwiw.
This.
