It's easy to mistake the threads on mobile. I know it took me a hot minute last year simply because the Rangers weren't relevant for so long and their thread was never at the top.

I emailed staff to complain on ketch's (and everyone's) behalf. Doubt it will do any good, but I feel better after a sternly worded letter... haha.


They look very similar if you are going at a quick glance.

All because they are soft and babies.

Absolutely. Happened to me last year as well last season during the playoffs.

12 month ban for accidentally posting on a thread. Wtf is wrong with mods.


Mods probably misinterpreted his winky face emoji as a troll.

Doesn't make it right. Just saying what probably happened.

I clicked in their thread and almost hit post on something I was typing last season. I happened to see it was the wrong thread. Saved myself a ban.

His post was the one about Verlander talking about his arm, but McTaggart tweeted about the farm. He edited it said sorry and then posted on the Astros thread.

If mod is true to his word about being an Astros fan, he should probably ban himself for posting on the Rangerette's board being that he is an Astros fan and is trolling just as much as 2015 was. Hell, he intentionally posted on that board, so that might be a perma-ban compared to what 2015 did.

1st offense - 24 hr ban
2nd offense - year ban
3rd offense - chemical castration?
4th offense - carpet bomb your neighborhood?

Absolutely insane.

Pretty simple, frees up fun money for something more fun than dealing with Hall Monitor Ag

Great decision which couldn't have been done without these baseball board mods help

Farmer or Nguyen-

Please consider starting the season thread title with something other than " **** Official... blah blah blah" wording. Make it something different so we can keep these damn threads straight, if the mods are going to be this militant about mistakes.

HOUSTON ASTROS ***TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS***

ALTUVE IS STILL YOUR DADDY

Whatever, just something a bit different than a bunch of leadings asterisks.

If you boys are gonna get permabanned for accidentally posting in the other thread, at least tell us all before you do it and then pron bomb it.

Get your moneys worth.

But tell us first. In the interest of science and all.

Did they delete a bunch of posts over there? I went over there to read and it was pretty mild to me.

I can't believe MLBPA is ok with this. Or the other owners. It's one thing to play a couple of games in Mexico City or Monterey at a MiLB stadium. It's another to okay two full seasons. The clubhouses won't be up to par. The income stream will be diminished (but that's on the A's). I'm sure the media capabilities will be worse affecting broadcasts. No to mention travel and amenities for players.

If the A's can't get to Vegas for 3 years they should suck it up and play in Oakland for 3 years.

Are the A's even going to move? I thought Oakland had upped the ante a bit. I mean it was kinda sad seeing 12 people in the stands but kinda cool hearing that dude banging on the drum and those Ricola type horns. What do you call those things anyway?

On some forums, this is an instaban for "bypassing the profanity filter." I don't get it. I don't really care one way or the other but the inconsistency is difficult to navigate.

T&P for all the cooks who will be working overtime to keep Vogelfat fed with poutine. Between him and Vlad Jr that is a load at 1B.
