Listen man, I am sincerely trying to help you people. I am doing it because I want to go back to having fun pointing you libbies out. With the hooker scene as it is here the political sparring is the best this site has to offer most days. My problem is that its not fun anymore because its too damn easy.First. I’m republican. Just not to the extremes seen here. The sandbox gets plenty of the far right circle jerk, so I give the occasional moderate view.
I’m not even telling you to listen to me. I am telling you to listen to HD, he gets it. I bet if you PM him he would be willing to do private lessons even. Or listen to WD, that fucker has forgotten more about getting points than anyone here besides Bam and Tatas ever knew. Originally Posted by AmishGangster

Second, and for about the 100th time, the problem isn’t understanding what or how things need to be worded (playing “the game” as you put it). It’s become obvious to at least the 15 or so guys here plus others that the Pittsburgh forums aren’t moderated evenly.

Debate on topic. Tie back any diversions where you're baited. Don't react to the vague poke that you're reading as a personal insult with a personal insult.You want this to be cut and dry, but it’s very easy to get dinged for going off-topic by replying directly to what the other person said. The OP veers off SLIGHTLY away from the topic of the original post, you reply to that reply, and BOOM, off-topic infraction. And I know that those people are getting infractions for going off topic, because they do it every day, in every thread.
Remember, there's no instigator penalty.
And remember that you were just talking with an admin, not a mod. He gave you some pretty specific advice.
