I have to agree you can't blame someone who's paid to be a chat board moderator for doing his job. I'm sure he is told what posts to remove, and under what circumstances to ban a user. Is he supposed to have some moral objection to banning those that violate the rules? I would think not.

I didn't come close to violating any rule. I just asked what are we to make of all these cards being identified as altered. Anyhow I didn't mean to get off on a tangent, I was just explaining that I was banned by the supposedly good guy new mod and I guess it irritated me that Rich was defending him.

I'm not sure I have ever posted on PSA's boards. As I understand it they're very quick to remove posts that could be viewed as against the company's best interests. That is just what I gather from posts around here though. I have never looked up their rules.

I also assume I would be banned had I spent any time posting there.

I was defending him because I know him outside of CU and I was pointing out the corporate view. I get Peter's frustration but let's also be thankful as long as you put your name on a post, we have reasonably fair ways to express ourselves on 54. As Peter noted, many boards are not that user friendly in terms of other opinions.

Violate the rules???

If an honest, pertinent and stimulating conversation violates company rules and results in banning, then who in their right mind would support such a company?

Never Get Cheated.

The usual rules of corporate behavior have never applied in the case of PSA and even less so now. 4 million item backlog, I am told.

That's not too bad.

If you figure 200 opinion givers, giving 1 opinion every 30 seconds, for 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week, then they are about a month from catching up...

Nope because the inflow exceeds the outflow. It will only get worse.

doug.goodman · #9 02-06-2021, 05:11 PM

Then they better step it up.

30 seconds IS a bit slow I suppose.

And if they hire another 100 "experts"...

I've been unemployed for 335 days, not that I'm counting, so if they want to drop the most recent submissions by Dmitri Young by my place, I can whip those out in a couple seconds because I don't even have to see them to know they are 10s.

If you're still eligible for unemployment checks, I would not quit your "day job". You might actually bring some credibility to your new employer.

I've been meaning to ask you if the outlook looks hopeful for concerts and outdoor venues this summer. Think you'll get back on the road?
