it quoted a Baltimore city leader (I believe he ran for mayor) saying that crime was a terrible problem and he would declare a state of emergency if he were mayor.
He also said that if crime like this were happening in a white neighborhood, it would be national news.
I want to be clear - this was not a random thread started by somebody yelling about crime. It linked to a real news agency (CBS I think) with a real public figure, offering his opinion.
The stupid mods tried to impose a permanent ban on me for starting a harmless thread about slowing down skin aging. A few months back they tried to do that for a genuine thread about cholesterol tests. The process is idiotic.
Thank you very much for this explanation. I think what bothers me most of all is that quality threads and posts disappear without a trace, and there are no getting those back unless the brothers reinstate it (as they did this thread a year ago). But that takes a lot of effort, and your email may or may not be answered in a timely manner.
Yes, I can corroborate that. When they permanent banned my home IP for a genuine thread about cholesterol testing, the message provided an option to appeal the ban via email, so I did that simply pointing out that the post was genuine for anyone to plainly see, but all I got was seemingly a terse bot reply saying the ban decision was upheld indicating no awareness of any human actually reading anything I wrote.

Rojo is really sensitive about baltimore, that's why he deleted the thread. That's why I'm gonna make my baltimore joke in my next reply so that he won't delete this one

"Why can't I make racist posts on a running board? The article wasn't racist, but I'm hoping the replies would have been"

"We've long stated that coaching threads are the hardest to moderate as people get really fired up. Ivy League threads are probably a close second. Combine the two and it's difficult."
I don't see the point of moderating coaching threads in depth. Delete personal attacks but don't delete things saying, for example, that "[name]'s coaching philosophy isn't the best". And how are Ivy threads hard to moderate?

Coaches should be fair game. They’re professionals, mostly. If someone wants to say “that system sucks” they should be able to. If they want to say “that coach dresses like a nerd” that should be ok too.
Why can't you control your volunteer mods better? Don't they have a sense of humor. Apparently they deleted this thread last night even though you yourself found it be hilarious. Don't you realize people ultimately blame you for their overzealousness?
Rojo wrote this on a different thread and the mods have only gotten worse since.
Micah, the mods were completely out of control last night. Deleting everything in sight. When is your next meeting with Rojo to discuss their performance? There are many people complaining about them being out of control.

This is true. I was reached out to by 5 different people last night talking about their concern over what they were seeing from the mods last night. I told them to call the hotline and report them to Rojo. I believe a number of them called so the mods should be getting spoken to come Monday or Tuesday.

The high rate of deletions is undermining freedom of thought, conversation, and the ability to comment on important running and non-running related matters.
