A real liar.
Brojos, it really comes down to what kind of environment you want to have.
As it stands, people are free to post insults and degrade others with no consequence.
Mandatory registration would change this and seems like it is overdue.
If you are proud of a website where members of it's community like myself are degraded on basically a daily basis, I feel you ought to be embarassed with yourseleves.
I keep saying I won't be coming back but I do because I know I can contribute and block out the negativity.
It's just a sad state of affairs the behavior the website tolerates and ignores.
Think about if you were having a party after a track meet.
If someone was going around hurling insults, you'd ask them to leave.
In this place, they are more than welcome to stay. And you guys profit off that.
Throw a party where people have to be accountable for their actions.

Michael, you are an example of a poster I'd like to block out. Please don't repsond to me anymore.
Brojos, I don't want to have to deal with this guy on your site. On Twitter for example you can block out users. If this were a party, I'd just ignore this guy. I don't want to read what he has to say, don't care for his perspective. I'm an adult and can make that decision for myself.
Greg stop harassing me please
Thank you

My last post was deleted and I was banned from posting on the thread. My post was in line with the premise of this thread. It was my understanding that posts on here WERE NOT to be deleted.
wejo, just curious to hear the thinking behind deleting the thread discussing Alan Webb's deleted Twitter account.
https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=10382015&page=1
I thought it was kind of newsworthy, even if some of the individual posts (mine included) weren't particularly respectful.
Lots of posts contributing to the thread/discussion in this thread got deleted today:
https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=10405325&page=1
People take time out of their day/life to post in a thread just to have it deleted by someone who doesn't agree with their opinion.
If this is how it's supposed to be, at least make it so each deleted post shows up as:
"Deleted by (insert mod name here)"
so there is transparency about what's happening on the site.

I would also ask that in addition to Phil's suggestion identifying the mod, there should also be a reason like, "Personal attack", "Profanity", "Unsubstantiated claim", "False/Misleading information", etc. It really is confusing when blatant trolling and personal attacks are allowed and those threads never die but, a reasoned and factual argument or opinion that doesn't align with a mod's views gets deleted.
Why did they delete the "President Joe Biden" thread yet there is a thread about a (((Jewish))) conspiracy to occupy Fanueil hall in Boston on the front page.
There must be a mod that works with a political slant at this point. It's obvious. Up to the mod team if they think this is ok...

What would a thread be without claims of anti-semitism?
Why are Alan Webb threads not allowed? How is that anything but hypocritical given what threads are allowed?
Because you guys are bullying his family, and not even for athletic reasons.
1) I have not bullied Alan’s family and I fully support deleting any posts that do.
2) The Gwen Berry threads are not “for athletic reasons” just to name one of many, many, many examples.
How is this not hypocritical? This is supposed to be a thread to discuss moderation policies and I asked a fair question politely. Instead of receiving any answer, I received a ban.
Even worse is the BroJos claim they 'don't know' who is deleting the threads.
Moderators are out of control.

Come on. Alan made a public vlog posting specifically to bring attention to the fact that he felt like an aggrieved American colonist, He believes that the colonists had their freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom to care for their family's health taken away by the British crown, politicians, health care professionals, economists, and corporate executives. In the late 18th century.
Many here agreed with him and felt that they had been stripped of these rights by the same powerful groups over the past 18 months (which includes the final year of the trump administration, notably).
Others sought to correct the record of what it was like to be an American in the late 18th century, and pointed out that Alan speaks quite freely, is a proud practicing evangelical Christian, and can do pretty much whatever he wants for his family's health --including refuse to be vaccinated or wear masks-- despite the fact that we're in the midst of a global pandemic.

Also banned re harmless Webb threads a couple days ago and asking why they were all being deleted. Emailed rojo asking what the rules are and haven't heard back.

Which Mods are out of control and are the Brojos doing anything about it?

So are we allowed to start threads about Alan Webb or not?
