Moved to "About Twins Daily" forum.
I banned vodkadave today for his "Fake Liriano News" thread. This was after having to delete several posts earlier this month for personal attacks. I informed him in a personal message what I was doing, why I was doing it, and offered to consider reinstating him in a month if he was interested.Quote:

A sense of humor is one thing. We have several satirical posts, critical threads, etc. Deliberately posting a report as news to mislead the community isn't a joke, it's spam, and destructive spam at that, as it weakens the overall credibility of the community. And we ban spammers.
In that case, I hope the al Qaeda terrorist sleeper cell responsible for Rick-rolling never finds this place. I'll hold you all in my thoughts and prayers that such a terrible fate not befall the site.
No, actually you never informed me in a personal message "what you were doing, why you were doing and that you would reconsider bringing me back after 1 month" First off, one month? LOL slow down Roger Goodell. 2nd off, if you wanted to respond to me directly, I sent you a personal message or whatever you kids call it on facebook.Quote:

Destructive Spam? Credibility?Quote:

The same credible site where people talk about calling up 19 year olds who have never seen full season A ball into the major leagues? Sorry about hurting your credibility with my "destructive spam" which by the way increased your page views about 20x over a 30 minute period.
A: He wasn't claiming that the Twins organization is racist. Such subtlety is lost on you, apparently. It is a legitimate question to bring up and it wasn't totally unsupported.Quote:

Except when it isn't a legitimate question to bring up, and it was totally unsupported (other than a random post on the internet by some random dude with a blog)Quote:

A big league office making moves based on race in the 21st century.
I don't know the backstory, but had I been registered at the time and read those posts, I would have called out the fools too.
Um, just read in this thread for all you need to know.Quote:
