I'd love for someone to explain the decision-making process on these things.

No idea on that one.

We don't like to lock threads, and as far as I know we don't censor. In this case, things stopped or I guess I would have had to PM the parties and warn them, then lock the thread or ban the members for a week. Shrug

That's all I have for you Rooney. Don't know what else to say.

Perhaps PM the Admins. and see if we can set you up as a mod? Then you can help us out a little? It certainly is difficult to do it by ourselves when people are getting bored in the dog days of summer.

I have no idea what you're talking about. What Close Thread Gestapo?

It was the Cap'n!

You are correct and you can look at the last post on there for the reason. The thread conversation couldn't have been further from the original topic. Also Gerber vs. the Blackhawks is a completely irrelevant topic. I don't normally lock them when they become irrelevant but when people start posting pages of unrelated comments they can start a new thread instead.

so anyway, Edmonton's threat seems to have gone by without a response from Heatley or the Sens organization, so I guess we assume they have pulled the deal or was Tambellini trying to play hard ball with Dany, it failed, but does he keep a deal or possibility of a deal on the table?

Wow, that's odd. I thought the founders had decided that mods were not needed (hence there are no mods left). I'm confused but anyways; back to our regular programming...

Depends now. If people are causing issues, then there's no way all three of us can be on all the time. We'll see how it goes forward.

I think as this site grows in popularity, mods will certainly be needed, and mods will need to take action and lock threads, suspend people etc...

A lot of sites have an infraction point system in place such that you get a few warnings that are tracked and expire after time and if you get too many... your account is suspended for a period of time.

It's inevitable.

It is indeed. I would hate to see someone get suspended for any amount of time, but we need to keep the threads as professional as possible.

Just curious, back to Heatley, why in God's name would Edmonton still want Heatley? I dont' get it for one second. He doesn't want to be there, he really doesn't. If he ends up there because there were no other options, how is that going to help the team? They all know he doesn't want to be there, and the fans know he doesn't want to be there. How does this move make Edmonton any better? I don't care if he has had 2 50 goal seasons in a row. I can't imagine that he would produce as much there, and he won't be playing with an Alfie or Spezza there, so how does he make them better?

I would pull out of this if I were them, and go in another direction completely. I think Tanguay would help them more than Heatley (that is, only if Tanguay wants to be there) otherwise, they're screwed and will be at the bottom of the pack once again.

It's actually pretty sad. (I don't mean that sarcastically either)

And, what's to say that Heatley would even stick around for the full term of his contract?

apparently my research from Websters has said it is still pox for singular connotation.

You assume that Tanguay would go to Edmonton? No one else will. That's the position they're in right now.

Tanguay has played the majority of his NHL career in the West with Colorado and Calgary... I see him as being more likely to go to Edmonton than Heatley... but who knows. Maybe no one wants to go to Edmonton.
