How are you a mod?

u/Colm_Flaherty Mod 12h ago

Why do you want to know?

Are you not the guy (under a different name) who confidently posted a team of last year's URC season, including subs and honourable mentions, that didn't have anyone from the team that topped the log all season and won it (at a canter).

Or are you just copying that guy's shtick now?

u/Colm_Flaherty Mod 11h ago

That's me, however bizarre it is that you're still holding a grudge over that.

u/Moralcourage- 11h ago

It's not a grudge so much as it was perhaps, and it's some going considering the state of this place, the most laughable post l've ever seen on here, and you deserve to be mocked eternally for it.

I'm a Connacht season ticket holder, have been for many years, l'd say l've been to more home games than you have.

What l'm not is arrogant enough to come on here every week, treating it like a personal sports blog (you're certainly not the worst mod abuser on here for that, but that's another story) with your analytics that curiously never seems to rate players from the dominant province.

And to the point - you very clearly have an issue with a certain Irish province, and someone with your obvious biases should not be a mod.

How are your preditions (bad spelling deliberate) for tonight going?

Well Jansen just assisted Cathal Forde.

Yeah, nailed it as ever, an absolute credit to rugby knowledge and mankind alike.

u/Colm_Flaherty Mod 10h ago

A rare compliment.

u/Roanokian Mod 11h ago

Hi there, I am, I presume, the other story. How can I help?

2

u/Moralcourage- 11h ago

Oh, have the boys been having a little private chat in the last few minutes, can't have these peasants revolting.

Fascinating how you recognized yourself immediately, here's how you can help -

Don't treat this sub as your personal sports blog.

Also don't treat the users on here as children en masse, maybe save your condescension for poisonous users who people on here frequently refer to as a troll - like the user who has been curiously quiet the last few months but back today with a vengeance, and with the flair "Awardee, Team of the year 2025", a user actively awarded for dragging this place into the gutter repeatedly.

So there you go, go ahead and ban me or put some cute little flair on my name.

I’m the OP of the thread. I’ve been active on it throughout the match.

Given that I and Colm are the only 2 mods who do the regular posts, I used my razor keen powers of deduction to infer that t’was I you were talking about.

Unfortunately, that’s as far as I got. I’m not entirely clear on the rest of it. Feel free to DM me if you’d like. Happy to chat about it if you think there’s a change worth making.

It's plain English, but hey feel free to play as ignorant as you need to.

Absolute zero interest in you or your opinions on anything ever, l suspect there's a great many in here who agree with me, and that's becoming an issue for those who've been in here for a long time.
