No offense to anyone, but this is exactly why I am not so sure TTTony would be a good candidate as a moderator. I think it is more important to have him WITH his strong opinions posting exactly how he wants to. Being a moderator would cause a lot of members he may rub the wrong way to go wild...

BTW: a two or three week ban.....I view that as giving someone time to cool off where they can't come on the forum for a little while. I don't really see it as a public scolding or humiliation. I feel like, with a lot of the flame war stuff, if people wrote what they wrote and waited 24...

So, you think, after I asked Zeio MULTIPLE TIMES, to stop going after BB and that what he was doing was making BB worse, that his answer was "No, I enjoy doing it, it is exciting," (basically F-You), he was right and he should be allowed to harass someone? I am not going to defend BB. I can...

If I could make mods, there are several people who already would be. :) I believe everyone who was ever a mod is still one. But those people are not really on the forum any more. Maybe they come back and take a peak once in a while. But, much less frequently than me. And I am on here much...

I am actually still handling the spam. You guys just don't see it. But yes. That was me....me and for a few seconds maybe someone else helped.....but, maybe not so much.... With incidents like when Zeio and Broken ball were going after each other and both were acting like babies and I...

I have more time. :) Nah, I don't think the important person has thought about that.

Yeah. I agree with you. But time is an issue. For the past three months I have been moving my kid to an apartment and moving myself to an apartment while trying to sort stuff I need to keep and would be better of without. If that was just my stuff it would be easy. But I am saving stuff for...

I have asked Dan to onboard some other moderators. I gave him a list of people who I thought might be good for helping the site. I did this more than once and for at least a year. Personally, I try and leave as much alone in the interactions as possible these days. I do a lot about dealing...

Actually, I just gave him a stronger warning than this.

You have been slipping more of these kind of things into your posts than anyone on the forum and you have had more reports against your post than anyone on the forum. I am going to ask you to clean this up and stop doing this or find a different forum.

GM3r, you can't say personal insult things like this to people on the forum. Even if you are mad, you have tone down the aggression. This has nothing to do with the conflict between you and the person you are having the heated conversation with. You can't call people "low IQ, intellectually...

If your only goal was to keep using the rubber, then, that goal was not met by your experiment. But, you already could not use the rubber. So in my opinion, we got valuable information from you doing the experiment that may be more useful than a few more weeks using a rubber that had already...

Did you boost the sponge? Or no? In the post where you describe the effects, it sounds like you did try to boost. But I am not sure. If you boosted the sponge, I actually think this may possibly be part of why. But clearly part of why is wrapped up in why the topsheet was so much larger...

And when you use it, you can tell us what the results are.

It is good you did not do this. As I said in an earlier post, if you had expanded the sponge and then glued the topsheet on, the sponge would shrink when the booster wears off and the topsheet would be too big for the sponge and the but glued to the sponge when it was bigger. Think about it...

The good news is, technically the rubber is toast. If the experiment goes badly, no harm done. If it goes well and you can use the rubber again, then you get extra time using a rubber that was otherwise done. So, in a sense, you can't mess up. I think mineral spirits might be a solvent that...

Totally agree with JJ Ng. 1) Get a new rubber. 2) Use this rubber to experiment and see what happens when you take the topsheet off and reglue. Note: it will not be easy to take the topsheet off and keep the pips whole. Try not to break the pips. Maybe use solvent as you are taking off to...

Look at the stills I posted. Read Tony's post.

Not really audition tapes. You look like your technique is pretty okay. I would suggest you may want to post actual match footage. Also, match footage vs someone who is pretty close to your level. This is you playing vs a robot. It shows your strokes. But it is not really all that...

It is not just a video. I have to see the person play. But more importantly, I have to see the person comment on footage. The idea here is, the comments in this thread should be by people who have posted video so others who are posting have seen them and have an idea of how the person...
