Mods, is it really appropriate to move something that is making headlines about a Miami Dolphins star player to out of bounds? Dozens of pages of discussion and this can't be discussed anywhere? How about move it to whatever forum you feel it's appropriate in and let the discussion continue. To not allow the discussion to happen on a Miami Dolphins forum is a disservice to both sides of the debate, IMHO.

This is absurd and a trend every time any topic vaguely connected to homosexuality comes up. We can have a JESUS LOVES YOU subforum, but any discussion of LGBT rights is stunted.
What the actual ****, guys? -
its inflammatory. I don't think it's anything personal.

We have tried to leave those type of threads on the mains but it always ends up in out of bounds or closed because members are not mature enough to talk about the topic without resorting to personal insults or espousing personal agendas.
We just dont have the resources or the inclination to deal with it.Its a sports forum .This is more of a political topic.If you want to talk about it I suggest you do so in a political forum.
Caveat ...Po Fo Mods may not want to deal with it either and I dont blame them.I repeat.This is a Sports forum and our staff are unpaid volunteers.They dont need the aggravation.Boik14, 305, WhiteIbanez and 2 others like this. -
Just curious about the Mike Wallace threads.
Why were they moved to Out of Bounds? It is a relevant topic about our starting WR that is now in the news, yet it was moved to out of bounds and closed. Even more relevant to the point the organization had to release a full statement on the matter. Yet some mod keeps moving these threads making it seem like the subject wasnt talked about and yet causing other threads to pop up.
Yet another clear cut case of over moderation. There nothing wrong with the posts and it is discussions that need to be had. Ease up, mod. -

Kind of inconsistent moderation today. First there were several moderators defending Wallace. Which is their right. They were engaging in a civilized debate. Then you decide it's not allowed to be discussed? Questionable decisions all the way round. First a valid comment on the issue was made by a member here, and it's put in the rant forum. Now into Out of Bounds. So are all the media outlets that have this story ranting as well? It's a sensitive issue regarding one of the Miami Dolphins star players and you decide not to let your members discuss it? All the intense debates around here and this is somehow off limits? It's your board, your rules. But it's very disappointing to at least this poster how this was handled today and, IMHO, shows a lack of tolerance towards certain viewpoints.

I moved all 3 from the main forum to OOB because the first one strayed from people having opinions to it being personal. Secondly, gay rights and gays in sports (or any facet of society) where they are not currently accepted is a political topic that has no business on the main page of a Miami Dolphins forum even if a Dolphins player is the one who made a stupid post on Twitter for which he then apologized for it. Gay Rights is a political movement and Gays in sports is a part of american society not really a part of a Miami Dolphins forum. If anyone wants to start a thread in POFO youre welcome to but those were moved because its not for the main forum and the other ones were moved before they followed the same path.
Sorry if that offends anyone. It wasnt meant to.MonstBlitz likes this. -

....and dont say the Hostess company has agreed to send all the orders by over-nite Fed-Ex. That kind of volume will be noticed. -
Funny thing happened today. I'm getting a hair cut and I always talk football with my barber (Cowboys fan, poor guy), he then says something about Wallace. He was surprised I hadn't heard of it and told me what he had tweeted and said Dolphins apologized and all that. I'm thinking man, how did I miss that, and now I see why. :lol: So yeah, I might rely on this site a little too much for all my Dolphins news.
edit: I read the first page for one of the threads, think I'll stop there... -
But it's in the past. And luckily Wallace did the right thing and apologized and the story died a quick and merciful death!Boik14 likes this. -
Two reasons it wasn't moved to pofo...
The first thread was already filled with bs. And the other two threads started off no better.MonstBlitz likes this.
