What should we, FreeOnes, do better?

FreeOnes should consider getting into the sports betting markets and start a sports betting forum section and hire me to administer/moderate it. I can also be hired to create content for it.

Currently the sports betting forum market is saturated with the same poster protection program police state gambling forums...so something different would attract posters away from the rest...especially an adult sports betting forum...I'm sure FreeOnes wouldn't have any problems securing sponsors from both the sports betting worlds and the porn would to be interested...and if porn stars could be persuaded to post about gambling that'd be another popular forum section...

Nothing better that sex, porn, and gambling. Legally speaking of course. If drugs were legalized then of course include that.

@Petra @FreeOnes please send me a job application form and contact me to discuss terms.

If you're serious, you might consider a proof of concept and start a thread with a friendly sports pool / fantasy league just for fun.
I don't know what the reality/logistics of the gambling side of it would be, but at the very least, you & the users could have some fun, and maybe even score some points with the mods.

I've never been interested in scoring points with the moderators but I am serious...and if FreeOnes is ever serious as well they can contact me.

Can you post the exact post number where you think I did that?
No. Because it's 102 degrees and I've got better things to do with my time, like not melting.

But as regards the argument in question, if you think that you're being harshly treated here because I told you and Mr. Daystar to stop behaving like a pair of tough guys then say so, don't beat about the bush. Everyone else on this forum appears to be able to tolerate each other and have discussions without offering each other out for a pier six brawl or a Gunfight at the FreeOnes Corral. If you don't like the standard of moderation here, also say so. We can take it, we're grown arsed adults.

That pretty disingenuous post from a moderator and especially for someone accusing me of threatening to shoot someone. You should either know the post number that you claimed was inappropriate or don't accuse me. If your going to accuse posters and threaten them with consequences you should prioritize being reasonable above not melting or you shouldn't take a moderating position that somebody else would put more time and effort into.

Also, I already did make it clear I don't agree with your interfering in that argument in my above post #121 as well as made it clear I'm not satisfied with the moderation here in my advice posts #117 & #119...do those posts beat around the bush in your opinion?

I didn't accuse you. I asked you. There's a difference.

I *do* see that you repeatedly called Mr. Daystar a pig (33 times), a coward, an idiot and made a homophobic remark towards him. So I apologise for the misunderstanding!

Just to be clear, it's sarcastic disingenuous people like you in positions of power that are always in the way of progress towards change that would improve transparency reasonableness and accountability...but at least you had time apart from preventing yourself from melting to search through and find so many of my posts that don't have me threatening to shoot anybody...just goes to show that most people in positions of power find excuses to do things or not to do things whenever it suits them to...to abuse their power over others or to protect their favourite posters...to give some a hard time while treating your favourites better than the rest..there's a difference.

It's a porn forum. I'd hardly call it a "position of power".
but at least you had time apart from preventing yourself from melting to search through and find so many of my posts that don't have me threatening to shoot anybody...
Once again, I didn't say you did. I asked if you did.

In fairness, it was 102 degrees here so I think I had a legitimate reason not to do anything.

There's a video I want you to watch relating to favouritism that more or less sums up my positioning on this subject. Then I'm going to leave this be because there's nothing to be gained from it.

If you want to downplay or pretend that online forum moderators are hardly in positions of power and authority over their posters and that indiscriminately abusing power like Dirty Harry is somehow acceptable...well that's exactly why you shouldn't be forum moderator.

I'm not a moderator.
 
I don't have one officially. But I'm not a moderator.

Anyway, this discussion is over as it's of no relevance to this topic and hasn't been for what feels like dozens of posts.
Despite you not admitting to having any job title and job description posters see you as the same as forum moderator since you have the same powers as a forum moderator around here.

I need more butter for the popcorn ...

Speaking of Inspector Harry Callahan ... I liked Magnum Force (1973) the best.

As noted by my liking this scene with Clint Eastwood and Hal Holbrook (rest-in-peace)

 
@Steve-FreeOnes Might I suggest considering putting his mod application to popular vote?
You could then make FO credits exchangeable for access to the Mod meetings - a guaranteed hot ticket item!
