Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - Seacrest v. Bigfan

I haven't always agreed with Seacrest but he seems like a straight shooter. IMU seems like a evil, smarmy little shit. Just MY opinion.

I view myself as more of a Robin Hood type.

Seacrest has been fine as an Admin so far but BigFan was lauded as a great Admin for many years too. He cracked after many years.

Message board administration is a game of time and repetition. Check back in 6 or 7 years.

does Seacrest buy drinks ?

What are some examples of "all the bullshit" board admins have to deal with? I'm honestly curious.

I'll give you an example I've shared before. He eventually mellowed some, but towards the beginning of my March Madness tournament, Panther would pretty constantly PM bigfan complaining about it and how he was being treated in it. He gave bigfan a few days worth of grief because I broke a tie between him and Nas. He then "most likely" created a ton of fake accounts to make extra votes when I still did it with poll voting. Then, in another year, he kept on trying to get bigfan to let him "buy" the tournament so he could run it himself.

Basically, a whole bunch of petty behind the scenes BS because people got way too worked up.

And since when did being admin on a board full of people you seemingly hate become a thing? I guess if you need to feel empowered, it doesn't matter over whom.

I don't think being a board admin has changed Seacrest at all.

The fact that this thread is still here answers the question.

Seriously, if Seacrest was like BigFan, you would be gone and no one would miss you

BigFan was a fantastic moderator until he got sick of dealing with all the bullshit here, snapped, and started acting like an asshole. It's understandable for anyone who's had to deal with malcontents in a labor of love type of engagement. Over time, those types of situations wear on the person and eventually they change their demeanor and the way they act towards the people involved. Seacrest has always been a great guy and remains so as a mod. Check back in 5 years and he might be an asshole as well.

Editing a post and then needing to create a story behind the edit in order try to convince the board that it said something different than it did, even though MANY people saw the original post. That would be a hassle.

The problem when you start deleting shit becomes, why this and not that? And then you are making editorial decisions. And also you may not see something. I don't know if Nas and Seacrest read every thread, but I don't. Someone could threaten to kill all the living U.S. presidents in the basketball section and I would likely never see it. You guys should police yourselves. Don't doxx anyone. And don't be douchebags. It shouldn't really be that hard.

If someone sends me all these whiny PMs about non-serious stuff like that then I'm not going to lift a finger to do anything.
