My only warning on the old boards.
I never hated Denny. He was more like a meme to me. I just found humor in it. I was told by people who used to be mods on there that the homer act was all for show. So I think that plays into why a lot of people didn't like him. Kinda the same reason people don't like Hobson. People just don't like paid shills.
It seems like bfine preferred the looser moderation of the old boards, but idk if people remember the downfalls of that. We had a lot more issues with trolls on the old board. We had the whole deal with Tigers Blood which damn near broke the board. People were questioning who was real and who was fake.
I much prefer what we have going on here. Very low troll count, and as long as you don't act the fool, you don't get banned. Very fair. Not that we're perfect by any stretch.
But back to Denny, he did spearhead the angry homer side which really made the old boards toxic at times. Not sure if he really was disciplining people for being negative, but I know that myself and many others said he handed out infractions for questionable at best reasons, often claiming it was a mistake.
Now was this something he was directed to do by management? I'd say that's a good possibility, but who knows? Again, I didn't hate the guy. It was nothing personal on my end. I just saw him for what he was.
I think this pretty much nails my thoughts on the old board and this one, well said Shake.
