This site has officially gone down the tubes...and yes I hold the so-called moderators of this site responsible.

 Ever since Josh and Krobe left (we all know the reasons why they are no longer here, so I'm going to go into that here), the site has drastically gone down the tubes.

 You have users with multiple accounts (in some cases, so many dupe accounts it is getting tough to keep track of who really is who) who don't get deleted or they come right back and create more accounts (and yes I'm talking all of you Havertown idiots who still haven't figured out how to create dupe accounts without being obvious about it).

 You have users post links to porn sites in TD arguments, the TDs are removed after a couple of days (happened on the weekend) but those users are still here.

 You have a user tell me to kill myself in a comment in my profile (comment was deleted but not sure by whom) yet that user is still here (favrefan21, riceowls75 whatever you are calling yourself today).

 I make a comment questioning a user why he didn't challenge a pretty much bogus TD (http://www.fannation.com/throwdowns/show/20604) to the same "user" he just did 5 TDs with in which he forfeitted immediately to (padding stats for his newest user account?) and it gets removed....yet that same user can tell me to go kill myself and doesn't get deleted....and when I responded to the email I received notifying me that my comment was removed, it bounced back. 

How can you receive an email from the "mods" yet when you try to respond to find out exactly why it was deleted it gets returned to sender.  What kind of customer service and support is that?

 

I long for the days when Josh and Krobe ran this site and issues were resolved in a timely manner, you could actually find out exactly what was wrong with a comment, blog or TD that the mods removed and all of these issues that we have today were pretty much non-existent (at least not at the level they are at now).

 

People wonder why some of the best members have now moved on to other sites....it's because the so-called mods have completely dropped the ball.  I would be willing to do their jobs and not even get paid for it.  Hell, sometimes I think a drunk chimp could do their job and be better at it.

 

Come on fannation, speak up before the mods delete this blog, because we all know, you can't speak your mind on Fannation otherwise the thought police will come after you!  Feel free to save a copy of this blog as well and pass it to your friends.

August 12, 2008  12:07 PM ET

Viva la revolucion! Nice blog, Stowe. You're exactly right.

August 12, 2008  12:08 PM ET

I agree 100%. The random enforcement of rules is utterly ridiculous.

August 12, 2008  12:09 PM ET

Reported!

August 12, 2008  12:15 PM ET

Have I crossed the line in a comment or 2...we all have, but I have never once told someone to kill themselves or used any racist or sexist terms or anything like that....

guess people don't like getting called idiots no matter how obvious it is.


the truth does hurt I suppose

I am really rstowe. Just thought I let you know that I am his dup account. Cat's out of the bag now.

August 12, 2008  12:18 PM ET

I don't know who Josh and Krobe are as I joined early this year. Someone enlighten me.

August 12, 2008  12:21 PM ET

Krobe was the user mod - he handled a lot of user issues.

Josh was one of the main mods, he handled the big things with the site.

Here's the comment from my profile that has since been deleted

These guys don't hold a burnt candle to the original mods, it's true.

August 12, 2008  12:25 PM ET

Mods suck.

August 12, 2008  12:27 PM ET

They outsourced the customer service didnt they????

August 12, 2008  12:28 PM ET

my information says it is 3 interns who couldn't tell a sports website from my space....all while they are working on turning this site into more SI content driven and less user content driven

August 12, 2008  12:29 PM ET

Agreed, rstowe should be mod, in favor say I!

Home sick from work, but I've GOT to weigh in on this one... actually, I already HAVE weighed in on this one...

The problem exists in many places. From moderators who don't feel like MODERATING to fans who feel like being more FLAGRANT than fanatical to cliques of people hating on one another, this is a deep-seated problem. Did it not exist before the departures of Josh and Krobe? Hardly... these problems have been around ever since I joined the site. However, the departure of competent and active moderators has EXACERBATED the issue...
