Sir, if everyone one of your 46 posts is this ingenious and well thought out, please point me to them. There are 45 pieces of sheer gold out there that I've missed out on reading.

Yes, we all know the details and all the information of not only the first patch, which fixes rosters, but also the second patch, which addresses gameplay and other issues. EA has secretly sent each of us this information and we have decided not to share it with anybody else.

"I don't know who Adam is...I don't know who OMT is. I've never had a conversation nor have most of the other mods had a conversation with him as far as I know. And he nor anyone else has never told me to lock or close a negative thread."

We know you don't know them personally. No one implied you do. However it is obvious some mods cater to the devs which is ok to a certain extent as long as it doesn't change the way you treat the community. The part about them never asking for threads to be locked is blatantly untrue. They may not have asked him personally to do it but he is a moderator and the call was for any mods to lock them. This has happened on multiple occasions. Ive even seen where the mods were engaging in conversation with people who were complaining and then the mods abruptly (without any visual to the public messages from devs) shut the thread down. Pm anyone?? However that last part is complete speculation on my part.

In the end it is just a sports game, and this is just a sports gaming website. We all need to relax, myself included. Its not like this is Call of Duty 5 were talking about people!!

What graduate school did you go to, the Opie Taylor Mannorisms Prep Society? The last time someone said "swell" in a serious sentence was back before Elvis knew how much fun pills were. As for sheer gold, you should pull the cord on a See-N-Say to provide yourself with valuable phrases like "This is a pig...Oink, Oink, Oink" then you can raise up a level on the human interaction scale from the "Uses big, articulate words to show intelligence that will hide social shortcommings" level where you preside now. As far as missing out on things, you should cut out a hole in the bottom of your popcorn box next time your at the movies so you can recreate Pee Wee's "Big Adventure" with the "extra salty butter", then maybe you could relieve the stress that causes you to reply to my simple comments with the pent up anger of a priest in exile

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.

Ignorance was about the poster saying dev's get mod's to lock threads...and I suppose towards you as well now. Please show me since I "need not look far to find devs requesting threads locked and such."

I don't know Adam or OMT means I've never spoken with them and they have never instructed me on mod duties.

Angry response...where was there any anger in my post? I'm as cool as the other side of the pillow.

Edit...and everyone please take a look at the previous few messages and now the one below. Once again this is why threads get locked on NCAA and this one will be too if it continues.

You and ColumbusKilled shop at the same store? Well since you too have been defeated by a electronic disc to the point of blowing up in rage after a simple request, your on my sh*t list to. I'm just asking for a possible release date, and judging by your screaming, you could use a date for a "release" too. I'd rather trust your lavender colleague Grimace from McDonald's to educate me on nutrition and keeping in shape than trust you with any relevant information. You need to stop, take a deep breath, count to 5, and remember what Bill Cosby said at the beginning of Fat Albert when you read my posts: "If your not careful, you just might learn something...HEYHEYHEY!!" (the flying paint brush sliding down the fence to paint the exclaimation point, AND jumping up to paint the dot!)

Matt misread your tone. My bad. BTW their really are places where mods requested threads get locked. Im very untalented in finding them and then quoting them in this thread but I'll try. You owe Sir Stuart Scott for stealing his line about the pillow. Would that be down or hypo allergenic? i prefer down.

I've written posts directly in flow of the topic pointing out issues with the game and have seen my own posts deleted. I'm one amongst many. This very thread has several people commenting about "over moderation".

Here is a thread requested to be locked by OMT (people debating what should and shouldn't be addressed in terms of the next patch) very recently:

This thread needs to be locked.

The thread proceeded to be locked with the commentary: "I believe it has come to that point" http://www.operationsports.com/forum...cement-75.html
