Would this be considered that thread? Sorry if i'm missing something but if you check the first post of this thread isn't it set up like other front page article threads?

Nope, this is a comments thread only seen on the front page. For some strange reason, there is a thread for most front page articles in the OS Content thread in the forums. Those threads are for people who rarely visit the front page but may be interested in reading a specific article.

Its also a place where a lot of discussion is made about articles.

Oh ok I didn't realize there were two threads for front page articles.

If you don't know who Adam or OMT is you have not spent enough times on the NCAA boards to have such an angry response to criticisms logged regarding the increased restrictions of certain moderators as of late. One need not look far to find devs requesting threads locked and such. OS is a top notch website for unbiased sports gaming news and conversations, lets keep it that way with limited censorship.

Great points.
To say you dont know who Adam and OMT are, how in touch are you with OS in general? Hard to find a thread where they are not saying something not to mention the pair of stickys.

I think the solution is simple. Columnists/Writers shouldn't have mod abilities. And mod shouldn't write articles.

The reason is simple, when I did a few reviews for OS back in the day, I would get ripped apart for a few. I also had mod powers. Like anything, sometimes it gets personal, when someone writes a post saying you didn't play the game, you don't understand a sport, or you a fanboy. How can you not get defensive?
