I was inclined to put this mod business to rest once and for all. I've been on SSP since 2009, and last year was my 5th year. This has been an educational website where I have learned a lot, and taught a lot. This is a site for knowledge exchange, which is beautiful. YES there are some mods who abuse their powers in certain major city threads, and then there are mods who are wonderful (KevinFromTexas, iamhydrogen). But a forum is a representation of a society's people, and a society's people are a representation of a society's government. When you bring
science into a thread, you are called a conspiracy theorist.
Then I get caring wonderful private messages from people asking why I was banned for bringing science into a thread (circa 2012).

Have NO idea. Really, it caught me by surprise 7 days, ago, AND I couldn't ask anyone since I couldn't access the forum.

Wow.. That seriously sucks.. I'd be wanting my happy ass to know why they suspended me if I was you.. They banned me for like 3 days because I cussed out (mod name) (Cool, right?) And then they unbanned me? It was weird.
|
I don't want to ask anyone why I got banned, because the only people who have the answer to that are (mod names). Rather than ask them, I ignore and continue on this SKYSCRAPER forum, and talk about what I love. If I ask them they will pick on you and pick on you, UNTIL you say something which they'll use against you JUST to ban you. Weird site/forum, I KNOW. The unfairness is just crazy, and unjust at times.

Agreed. The admins/moderators act like they run the place in here-- And I have no problem with that. BUT, the way they are doing it is as close to despicable as it gets. I have never seen as much censorship on this website than I have seen with others.

I also have people privately thanking me for bringing science into an engineering forum.

Stay well my friend!

Even my fellow Canadians, who should be able to be more objective, roll their eyes at me when i get all "blasphemous" on them!

When you say something negative about the gov't in the Skybar, you are also 'grilled', even though the gov't has lied to the public before.
If you say facts about Ebola you are grilled, because those facts don't match the facts of mainstream. Basically there are many things that could be fixed with the mods on SSP. They can't abuse their powers, BUT the forumers can't push the mods either. It should be a friendly forum where mods don't harass forumers, and forumers don't fight back. To the mods BEHAVE. To the forumers, if mods keep picking on you LEAVE until they forget about you. For the most part, outside NYC threads, the mods are absolutely wonderful, especially Chicago. Back to reality -->
spend time with your family, stay happy, and stay safe.
Anyways, this building is doing for San Fran, what the Hudson Yards is doing for Manhattan's West Side. Game Changer. Although the silhouette of the Transamerica poking out as a peak will be missed.
