@GMs/BBs:Stop to delete messages that aren't really offensive,but that expres an opinion..."look like a fool" isn't enough offensive to deserve the cancellation of a message

I wrote this two hours ago:

Please refrain from discussing Iranian league or anything else that started this conversation. If you want to do that, start a new topic or use private messages. So don't bother to write anything here becase all following posts about this issue will get deleted.

This is a topic about BBB competition and not about Iranian league or how someone won their league or who is dishonest etc. I don't have a problem with mentioning this here and there, but this issue plagued this topic and suddenly noone was talking about BBB anymore. Four different member of staff already told you about that, so drop it already.

Btw, don't give me the "Freedom of speech" link because it doesn't apply to this case. The only rules that apply here are: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr...).

is it too late for throwing out some other thoughts to this discusion?! ( in half baked english like allways of course :-))

like i wrote for some weeks to Mister Wolph, some of u guys put too much personal feelings in that game and take sarcastic, negative.... forum answers like a personal face punch..
aight, some of Mister "teheran love" answers wasnt cool and smart and that he repeating in every post that Teheran is the place to be is fine for him but lost every time hes repeating again one more piece of tenor BUT what u guys doing if a group of people will judge u "without" a reason
u guys should never forget there u are..in that place most of the time gaijins talking to each other..we never know how old, in that mood or whatever the other user is right now..so, putting out the personal feeling stuff is maybe the first step to reach the funny, ironic, 10 minutes per day relaxin from the damn real world "Haterade Forum World"

what do u guys think about what is the better "human beeing"? that that will win every damn trophy in a browser game and didnt care about other users or that dude that making a other user next to him happy by givin him some extra motivation to stay in that game ( and the most of us has qitting that game for a long time if we must play in a small country without that thrill of competition of the big nations) and let him play BBB with him together?!

for me its easy to answer

btw: i didnt wanna judge about any comments, only wanna throw some Cents..what u guys doing with that i dont care

:-DDD

Cheers

Will

I think moderators are off the trail by judging some messages as of topic in this thread as everything related to B3 participant is on topic in my eyes. If someone judge on topic messages this way I think 90% of all messages around all forums in BB have to be deleted.
Once in a while there is really interesting and active discussion in normally lifeless forum and it has to be stopped for what reason?

During the three-point shooting contest on All-Star Weekend 1986, Bird entered the locker room, looked around without saying a word, then finally said, "I want all of you to know I am winning this thing. I'm just looking around to see who's gonna finish up second." He won the shooting contest.

This is well known anecdote about Larry Bird. And it is arrogant, self confident, maybe childish, bad behaviour, etc ;-)
But it is harmless and funny ;-)
And in this way legend of Larry is greater and I think nobody depreciates he was one of the best player in NBA. And (afaik) nobody complained becaue of these words ;-)
Verbal battle is one of the most important thing in NBA ;-) Therefore many people on whole world love NBA.

What I want to say?
To be funny one of the BBs has this quote in his footer ;-) So BBs accept similar behaviour ;-)
In previous season Misagh Alizade did exactly the same. He went to global forum, opened thread and said: "I want all of you to know I am winning this thing" ;-)
And then many users started to depreciate him, started to cry because of bad behaviour, etc ;-) And in current season we have the same situation.
And.. BBs don't accept these complaints in this topic ;-)
Because of these complaints topic in previous season had to be closed, and yesterday this topic in current season was closed too. If You aren't able to play in funny way so please don't spoil play of others ;-)
Maybe comparision Larry Bird to Iranians is too brave...
But please think which behaviour in this topic is childish ;-)

So let's back to topic. Question is - what is better? 16-0 or 23-1? ;-) Difference in 2nd case is better ;-)

If we didn't moderate the forums and encourage people to stay on topic, why would we need the threads anyway? Let's make only one general thread and discuss whatever is on our mind, right? Instead of this, someone who wants to talk a bit about BBB comes here and finds 100+ last messages about a thing that has very little to do with BBB. Of course it's linked to BBB, but a lot of things in BB are linked at least weakly one to another, so that's really not an argument.

Once in a while there is really interesting and active discussion in normally lifeless forum and it has to be stopped for what reason?

No one is stopping you by creating a new thread called whatever you like and continue to discuss this issue there, so we actually are not "stopping" the conversation in general; we are just stopping it in this thread.

It doesn't matter. Real competition begins today. (And probably my last game in B3 this season :)

It does matter ;-)
All previous ~100 posts don't matter ;-)

Great point. This way you can close any topic that gets quickly 100 messages and enjoy BBB thread with 2 messages per week.
