    If WOV put it on the front page that moderators also can use their personal opinions of issues to control a forum board, then no one would or could complain about her moderation. She'd be the top, the best. You're spot on about no issue if only insults were removed, but that's not what bbb does. No forum board I know has it in their rules that a mod can do that.

    But every single forum site using unpaid moderators WILL have that happening. It's impossible for humans to be robots without emotion or prejudgements. The better mods just stay away from the action and let mods like bbb take the heat. bbb should just resign as she has no control over her personal agendas while acting like being unbiased. It's clearly not working.

    If any of that is true then it wouldn't be a stretch that bbb may have some sort of royalty deal with mike so he allows the thread and her actions to continue. If money is involved, rules don't mean a thing.

    How long he waits for his ROI is another thing.

    WOW, we must know the same guy. Reminded me of this guy, however this was when I first started and didn't know any better. I didn't show him everything, but I was responsible for creating a big monster. He was usually nice, but I stopped dealing with this guy as soon as he started doing dumb shit. But it was too late. Others kept dealing with him for personal gain and paid the price. Do you remember(I'll PM you his name) He's well known by other AP's and you definitely would've ran into him as all the guys you have mentioned know him. I haven't seen the guy since Aliante first opened.

    Barbra certainly isn't among the the mathematically gifted socially awkward group. She may have some issues, but that's true of most people, especially females. Look around at this forum there's plenty of people that seem to have some serious issues. It would be 10 times easier to count people that seem more normal than the abnormal ones.

    Most of the people I have meet on WOV haven't been in that group. At least not to a significant degree. There have been a few people that are definitely strange.

    Being that I don't really judge or run from people who are different from others, I have known and been friends with some very strange people, including some very intelligent ones. One common thing I found with people like that is that they are very unforgiving. Something a normal person could easily forgive, forget and work out, they can't seem too.

    My dad's life long friend (My Dad kept the bullies off his back in the neighborhood and school )was very, very intelligent, musically gifted and highly educated. IIRC at one time he taught electrical engineering or something like that. He could fake or be somewhat normal for a short period of time. At 30 something he was living in an old van on my dads property for years helping my dad with engine work. You just never knew what would offend him. What I remember most.... his name was David, but went by Dave. He suddenly decided he didn't want to go by Dave anymore. If you accidentally called him Dave he wouldn't talk to you for 3 days. I was helping him deliver parts an a two day trip.Part way trough the trip I called him Dave. He didn't say a word to me the rest of the trip. Then suddenly after a few days it was as if everything was fine.

    I don't know much about her game. However if what your saying is true it would be even more impressive she got it placed.

    Beached Whale to smoothgrh in the "Low Roller Visit Dec2016 thread: I don't know what the edit time limit is". Zuga made it 12 hours. Originally he said one hour but all the babies who can't construct a simple sentence started crying. Then the APs started. What if the casino sees something? What if it's sensitive? Oh no! Our lives will be over! The 12 hour limit applies only to posts made after 10-21-15.

    You got that, Beached Whale? You're welcome...dumb ass. Yeah, you get what you pay for with these mods. Let's not kid ourselves. The mods continue to do as they please breaking any rule they please with their 'do as I say not as I do' attitude.

    Try watching the video eating a bowl of cold oatmeal with some strong seasoning, maybe some lumps of bread crumbs soaked in water and put into the oatmeal. Then you can really feel close the WoV mods....................:) :)

    so tell me again what this has to do with a bitter morbidly obese socially backward woman who works for free for a profit making company as a customer service agent.

    If you are saying that 'dave" is not the type of person who would do well in a customer service position......I agree. As I would with most socially backward folks. I am not claiming that beached whale and manboy are the only socially backward people on the planet. I am suggesting that socially backward folks like them are not a good fit for customer service jobs....and customer service decision making. Hence the hundreds of pages of "discussion of the suspension list" and the nukes that ensued just from that thread. Socially backward, psychologically damaged people cant handle when other folks are on the wrong side of the issue.

    Thats all. There are jobs out therefor socially backward psychologically damaged folks that are a perfect fit for them. A customer service position....not so much.

    however Face has proven that there can be an unpaid mod, that has no problem engaging in a debate rather than trying to referee the content of a debate via punishment

    he lets the debate play out...even if the side he prefers isnt doing well. He is not one to tell the munchkins that enough is enough if his side of a topic is losing.

    Wizard/manboy earlier today: "After much thought and money lost, I have decided to retire from proposition bet making in the NFL". He goes on to blame it on everything but himself...rule changes, better kickers, more competition from other bettors. Then he tells everyone they are on their own as far as football betting goes. Finally some good advice.

    Sounds like he lost quite a bit. Oh well. He can always go the tin cup route... again. The munchkins would fall all over themselves to donate...again. What do you think the last tin cup was for? Food? Kids? Maybe "models".

    This can't be true. I was advised by AxelWolf himself that the fucken shithead MIKE S. was gifted when it came to football. If I wanted to make some money I should pay attention to his picks.

    Okay, so he sucks at AP, and now we found out he sucks at sports betting also. Think maybe he gambled himself and his family onto his balls, and had no choice but to try the tin cup?

    Lucky for him off shore gambling people saw value in his sites to recruit new customers, or we wouldn't be talking about him and his pathetic ways anymore here.

    Seriously, we don't have a suspension list at DT. However, it has become quite a part of the identity of this site, for better or worse.>>>wiz


    recently when asked to take down his wall of shame suspension list....................above is the manboy response.

    Isnt that sick. I told you that there are 2 major kinds of people on that site. Sickness that likes to punish......and sickness that likes to see others punished.

    This response is stunning. The response actually backs me up. Its says punishment and the infliction of "shame" is part of their culture.

    He actually thinks it would hurt the site to take down thewall of shame which is intermittently used right now.

    And no one challenged him on this...it seems everyone agrees.. Even the person who initially asked him to tear down the wall, slinked away and accepted that it is indeed part of wov culture. How can he argue with that?.....................and he didnt.

    what manboy meant to say is that he gets joy out of thinking that he can actually inflict shame. So although very few mods use that list anymore HE still needs that outlet to feel good about inflicting shame.

    Nothing wrong with inflicting shame, at least not if it is deserved.

    Fuck those who want a PC world where all of us get medals and nobody ever loses.

    Gee LarryS., you like to "shame" others: not so much "shame" perhaps as "insult and put down."

    Maybe it's time for you to construct your own "wall of shame?"

    Open your eyes.....I dont , and never have claimed I shamed people in my business setting.

    As a manager of a business for my entire career.....I didnt feel the need to shame anyone....nor did I support any policy of a workplace where that was part of the culture.

    I never even posted someones bounced check in the window .

    Can a customer in my store say something to shame someone else. Yes. But I dont go by those rules....you know if a customer can shame someone in my store then I must have the right to shame someone in my store.

    There are different standards for customers ad managers.

    Customers with no self respect think otherwise.

    I suggest that the Wiz's so-called "Wall of Shame" be torn down: I don't care if Mexico paid for it.

    It hasn't been updated for weeks: what purpose does it serve?

    I assume the mods agree, as their inactions speak loudly.

    Tear down the wall.

    It serves no purpose if it isn't kept current.

    Moribund?

    Tear down the fucking wall!

    Oh, I said nothing about you insulting in your business, as I know nothing of your behavior in that setting.

    I was referring to how you insult and demean people on this and other boards.

    Not that I don't do the same thing myself: I just don't try to cloak myself in the Robes of the Just.

    I'm often an asshole, and I admit it: you should try doing the same.

    COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES

    MANBOY, a manager of a business finds the act of shaming by management to be part of the culture. Its acceptable to him.

    Again, if you are going to use me as a comparison to show hypocrisy then u must compare me with my managers hat on.

    You cant.

    There is no comparison

    As a manager I never shamed

    there is different code of conduct expected from managers/supervisors/customer service reps/ than the customers they service.

    A customer in an ice cream store can come up to me and tell me I should lay off the ice cream I am eating pointing to my stomach and shaming me.
    Thats his right and what can I do. That is equivalent to me talkng to you and others on a message board.

    But if the manager did that....I would never go back. Who the fuck is the manager of the ice cream shop to shame anyone....especially a devoted customer.

    Now I still insist that manboy or beached whale have really no power to force shame on people. Shame is something people have control over. So posting the screen name of an anonymous person on a list does minimal shaming. But in the mind of manboy and whalegirl they get the warm feeling of inflicting shame.....and according to manboy this wall of shame is an itegral part of the wov culture.

    he insists its needed.

    Trying to inflict shame on people has nothing to do with kids getting trophies for coming in second or third.
    Shame would be inflicted if the kids names were listed on a wall of losers. The analogy is obtuse.
    Its has nothing to do with PC. By not giving kids second place trophies is not a shaming tactic. Its just playing by preset rules that onlythe winner gets a trophy. Everyone knows upfront.

    The act of NOT shaming when shaming is arguably due is PC.

    The Wall of Shame serves as a deterrent.

    The munchkins shiver and quake in fear when they view it, fearing for their internet lives.

    It ain't the yellow brick road: it's the blood-splattered Wall of Shame.

    Oo-rah.
