So long
 

I think I've had enough of BF behaviors, not excluding some of the mods. For the rest, it's been fun. Happy trails.

Moderator, ban me please

I think it would be unfortunate for many of us if you left.

I agree, some of the so-called moderators work hand-in-hand with the bullies and trolls.

When they appear to officially enable the racists, it gets pretty ugly. I applaud you for standing up to it.

For the time being, I'm just spending little or no time in the P&R and other places where the discussion goes that way. I'm tired with the proverbial "wrestling with the pig" stuff. Bikes, gear, training, bike racing, etc. are the reasons I cane to bf originally and the reason why I'll stay.

Maybe at some later point I'll reenter the more contentious fray.

And as we all say, YMMV.

But anyway, bon voyage and happy trails.

always enjoyed your posts and good luck

I was thinking the same, and will work to limit my time here, especially when I feel I contribute a lot more than I get back. My life would certainly improve.

Now if the weather would do the same, it'd be easier to get offline...

NO Need to be Banned.

If you are having issue with any of the moderation team, I would appreciated enlightenment so it can be handled. But since I didnt get any notification, I cannot fix what is broken.

It's not necessary to ban you, just log out and if you dont log back in, your account will go dormant.

Yes, the trolls are handled if we are aware of them and a lot of times the ones that report them ARE the trolls themselves who want to get the person they don't like in trouble. With each report we go back and look at history so if it seems like it's not being handled, it just takes time. And every one on my team are volunteers.

As for enabling racists, it's really hard to do since most of the team are people of color and would cause friction on the team. I would love for you to send examples of that to me , so it can be addressed. This is the first time I've heard of racism happening amongst the moderation team.

Since he will be leaving, this thread will be closed because we do not allow discussion regarding former members, especially if they cannot reply.
