BDC Ellis Island: Give Us Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses...

[Youk Of The Nation]

Kimmi and at least a hundred other good posters left BDC in recent years because a poster named Pumpsie Green, who was banned on this forum last year, somehow became the moderator when BDC did not do their homework.. Pumpsie appointed three other mods who sanctioned a forum where everything goes and their fraternity is more important than sincerity, honesty, and being a real fan of the Sox. Pumsie Green has in recent days started a new forum at a freeforums.net site. Once again he is a moderator of a Red Sox forum yet he posts as if he he hates the Red Sox and is only interested in heading a forum fraternity. The flagship forum of BDC was the Red Sox Front Burner and PumpsieGreen and his co- mods there in the last two years chased away hundreds of potentially good new posters. Newbies were banned without making one post. Pumpsie dictated NO NEW POSTERS. Talksox is indeed smart to have Pumpsie banned. New arrivals from BDC should become acclimated and realize how much better it is here where you need not be a member of a fraternity first and place fan loyalty second.

 

Well, this is a new site. We have already agreed not to bring any drama or conflicts from the old forum to the new. While I appreciate your outrage at the idea of an iron-fisted dictatorial moderation team, (being so level-headed and open-minded myself), there's really no reason to rehash any of this. Enjoy posting here and let whatever happened in the past stay there. None of what you mentioned has any bearing on the site, there's no reason to be upset by it here at a fresh new place to post. Welcome!

Ban his ass.

The temptation to wield my power in order to project strength to our newcomers is surprisingly powerful. This must be how the guys working on the Manhattan Project felt.

[CliffKlowers]

Thank you. Had to get that off my chest. Glad to be on a forum with an objective mod who sincerely loves his Red Sox.

"New Traffic Cop" syndrome.

CliffKlowers sounds about 100% like a BDC poster named Pike, who was permanently banned from the forum. If he's true to form most of his posts will be about other posters.

 

You got that right. Good thing this site is properly moderated.

[CliffKlowers]

Proper Moderation??? The moderator of BDC for the last two years ( somehow) was banned from Talksox two years ago. Are you aware of this fact?

Didn't a moderator tell you to cut that out bro? Stop.

Seriously? Am I invisible?

Strange new land...

I always hated to sign in everyday on the old forum and read all the BS from the haters about how this guy sucks that guy sucks, the manager doesn't know squat etc etc..

Oh good, the life of the party is here.

Hey RSDD ... you'll get used to it ... That is what I keep telling myself. heh.

[Kimmi]

Get your mind out of the gutter. I couldn't climb the fence.

 

Ha. Well played.

Hi Pike. I may be in the minority, but I have missed you. Good to see you here. Do not get yourself banned.

[User Name]

Ha. Well played.

 

I'll be here all night

[Kimmi]

Welcome again to all of the new members coming over from BDC. There are too many of you to mention by name, but it's good to see you and I'm looking forward to reading your posts again.

[Kimmi]

I'll be here all night

 

Cool. You are definitely must read material.

[Kingface]

Pike.....seriously stop. We were asked to not bring past squabbles here. Please respect that.

 

BTW..... am i the only one that smiles when he says the word 'squabble' out loud??

It's one of those words that stops sounding like a real word when you keep repeating it.

Seriously King, we're just like the first great wave of Irish Immigrants to come to Boston in 1847. Potato famine refugees, only to be mocked, ridiculed, harassed, & taken advantage of by the Proper Bostonians (Pike). Which is of course why my people started the first great bar on the Cape, The Improper Bostonian.

The important lesson..... Drinking always helps when fishing for Cod, but your line keeps getting fouled by Pike!

Oh, if only we Irish Catholics could come to a new land and not be bothered by the new overlord!

Clever.

 

The overlords here aren't particularly bothersome. Just don't be a complete ass or flirt with the mods and you'll come out unscathed.

[redsoxdirtdog]

Are there hot mods here? If so, the "no flirting" dictum seems particularly inhuman! Now we must stay away from your women? You know the Irish will not be kept down on this!

[redsoxdirtdog]

How do you personalize your avatar?

[soxfan67]

Is pumpsie banned from this site, or the other new Sox forum?

[mvp 78]

This one.

[redsoxdirtdog]

This one.

 

 

Too bad!!! Why?

[redsoxdirtdog]

btw. He really helped clean up BDC when Pike was trying to hijack the board on aa every quarter hour basis!

 

Some other bannings were too much imo, but that board had devolved into chaos with some of the nuts hijacking every thread.

 

i.e. Pike. Who was going as far as cyber-snooping on posters, & trying to "out them" for nutty nothing stuff. Posting the whereabouts of posters in the real world.

 

Anyway. Pumpsie seemed like a pretty straight shooter. ? I say let him in & find out who the problem is. Pike will reveal himself.

 

p.s. Thanks for the nice welcome!

[mvp 78]

He was given a temporary ban for attacking other posters. After the temp ban, he didn't clean up his act. This was during the disaster of 2012.

[Spudboy]

Yeah. And we have been asked by the Mods here not to talk about him or the beach goer.

 

As a rule, there is not much discussion about banned members here. Probably for the better.
