Junk Drawer--June 10, 2009 (MOM! edition)

Here it is--the Mean Ol' Mod edition of the junk drawer.
We all love the Junk Drawer. It's a place to hang and post random off topicness that wouldn't otherwise fit around the site.
A lot goes on in these threads that might not fly elsewhere on BE. Sabonis4Ever asked for leniency in the junk drawer, and I approved heartily with a rec, as did a few other members. However, we've got to realize that the line must be somewhere. It's hard to tell where sometimes, but I (and some fellow members/moderators) felt that yesterday's JD crossed that line, which ultimately led to its demise.
The junk drawer is one of the first things that visitors see when they come to Blazers' Edge, especially when rec'ed to the top of the Fanposts every day. There's no problem doing that, but it also means that the subjects have to stay in bounds. Talking about the things talked about in yesterday's thread (i.e. ideas for a Bachelor party) are completely fine--but when we get into details about what goes on at those parties and all that, pretty soon we end up crossing that line that's so ever-hard-to-find.
Yes, part of it might just be Portland culture, but there still is barrier, a wall that needs to be maintained. It's really not a good thing for Blazers Edge to spend an entire thread (or at least, half of one) talking about strip clubs, where the best ones are in town, and what goes on at them. There are other websites for that kind of stuff. Remember, we're trying to keep Blazers Edge accessible for fans of all ages and walks of life. A number of moderators and commenters discussed with me how uncomfortable it was to have a junk drawer that talked about what it did.
All in all, this is not a repromand nor is it a warning; it's simply a reminder that BE is to be held to the highest of standards; we're not an average blog, by any means. The community atmosphere around here is awesome; most of you all don't need anyone to say that even :-)
In the week or so since mods have arrived, there have been relatively few issues to deal with. The level of conversation, which was already incredibly passionate, thoughtful, and worthwhile has seemingly increased to an even higher level, if that is possible. It's great to see people are arguing ideas instead of people, even passionately. That is wonderful to see.
There have been a few warnings here and there, but they've been relatively small in number and have been generally well-received.
We appreciate any flagging you guys do; it makes our life easy. Aside from some folks flagging for "lameness" or similar silliness, it has gone quite well having the community help us out. Keep it up!
As I mentioned in yesterday's junk drawer, hopefully you guys see as as protector cops rather than "traffic cops" who are looking to fill a quota of warnings and tickets. As Dave mentioned last week, moderators
"...are tasked with keeping community conversational standards fair and high, welcoming newcomers gracefully, and resolving any difficulties that may come our way creatively but authoritatively."
Obviously, that goes for everyone, not just for a select six people. We are ALL responsible for keeping conversation standards high, and you don't have to be a moderator to welcome a newbie to the fold.
Remember, the goal of the junk drawer (or any thread on Blazers Edge) is to bring something useful and worthwhile to the community--so whether it's here in the JD, out on the main page, or elsewhere in the sidebar, let's try to be posting for the benefit of more than just ourselves.
Anyway, just wanted to clear the air after deleting yesterday's junk. Now, onwards to today's junking!
If you have thoughts about the moderation of the site, feel free to email me or any of the other moderators; you can find our email addresses by scrolling to the bottom of the page. Dave's contact info is also there, if you feel the need to get a hold of him.

what’s the deal?
did the mods go on a banning spree?

nah, i think site issues might be slowing people down.
it’s been lagging and double posting for me quite a bit as of late…seems to be better tonight. The only banning I can think of was a poster who went major ad-hominem and foul language all at the same time. Bannings are quite rare at BE; hopefully it stays that way.

Ben with the hilarious report
To protect the guilty I’ll leave names out of this vignette but it was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in the Blazers locker room over the past 13 months. A media member was in the locker room stuffing a can of Coke into a travel bag. A high-ranking Blazers management official saw the media member doing this and looked at me incredulously, as if to silently say “Did this media member just pocket a Coke from the team supply?” Rather than let it go, this management official called out the media member and jokingly asked if the whole bag was being filled with stolen soda. The management official then left the locker room and, shortly thereafter, a higher ranking management official came back, pretending to be in a huff, and opened up the media member’s bag to reveal the soda. This mangement official then reclaimed the soda, cracking jokes along the way. At this point, I couldn’t help it and busted out laughing, probably ruining a nearby television interview with LaMarcus Aldridge. This did not faze the management official or slow the gag in the slightest. The management official, against the media member’s protests, then placed the purloined soda back in the players’ refrigerator and exited the locker room. Shortly thereafter, the media member, with a head shake, once again took back the soda back and exited the locker room..

It wasn't much
Twiggs said she saw some Blazers at a strip club last year and I guess some folks freaked out over it. Everyone else was just talking about the move The Hangover and sharing a few bachelor party stories. After that it went off topic and folks were talking about their favorite childhood memories from Sunday school. Maybe it’s a case of separation of church and BEdge.

I'll take the liberty of posting what Dave sent via email:
1. One good rule might be that a junk drawer topic also has to be able to stand like any other topic in a Fanpost. It need not be related to basketball but it needs to be site-appropriate to the point where you wouldn’t be embarrassed to see it on the front page emblazoned in the title. “Peas or Carrots: Which is Better?” could probably stand on its own if we allowed it to. “Which Portland Strip Clubs Are Best” would probably get deleted. So it should probably get deleted even in the Junk Drawer. The JD is not a haven for inappropriate topics, it’s a gathering place for legitimate off-topic material.

What I mean is that the JD yesterday didn’t break any of the rules. No swearing, no ad hominem, etc.., and yet over 1000 comments get deleted the JUNK drawer has adults conversing about their bachelor parties? I understand that this is a sports blog and all, but there is also a community of quasi friends that along bantering. If that part of the site is gone, I for one have little interest in it during the off season. I’m disappointed that this is where things are going. What’s worse is, this comment isn’t even supposed to be published, since it’s about the mods.

it was a tricky call, I admit. You'll notice I posted in the drawer for most of the day myself
BE is absolutely about leniency and having friends and community—no question. Just talking about strippers for an entire thread crossed the line of what is proper conversation.
That is all. The thread has not been “deleted” per se, although it has been hidden.

I think the reason the JD was deleted
was because users were complaining about it. If there had been no flagging or complaining about that JD, I’m not sure it would be gone. But since there were users on this site that mentioned they were uncomfortable with it, it raised red flags and the mods were forced to take action. At least, that’s what I think went down.

There are a lot more kid BEdgers than you might initially guess
(somebody poll it up in a future JD just so that we have an idea)
Making this a welcoming place to Blazer fans of all ages seems to be the overarching goal of all of the conversational rules. This is a stricter standard than simply “don’t swear”. A discussion about places for a adult entertainment doesn’t seem like a very appropriate topic in settings where a 12 yr old can wander in unannounced, especially if his Mom happens to walk behind him while he is reading about it.

Let me just start by apologizing for putting that JD on a slippery slope...
and I totally get that you had to do what you had to do. But I skip over talks about feminism, peoples beefs, stuff about star trek, and tons of other stuff every time I come on here. They can skim over some fairly lighthearted talk about strippers.
And I get it, it’s tough to moderate and I posted a topic that was borderline and had potential to slide further. But I seem to remember Dave saying that he wants the feel of this site to be much like a bunch of people hanging around a sports bar and chatting it up. So if you’re not into crazy kinky fetish joints or chat rooms, where are you supposed to talk about bachelor party plans.
I mean honestly, the point of that JD was that my buddies and I were coming up with ideas and I figured, “What the heck, why stick to asking a bunch of Salemites about how to have a good time in Portland when I could pose the question to thousands of Portlanders that are scouring the streets for fun every day.”
I also get that the post was pretty much there for my purposes only, so it might have come off even worse looking like a self centered borderline post. And for that I apologize, maybe I just should have slipped a comment into the JD rather than created a whole drunk drawer based on it so the title Bachelor Party Ideas wasn’t sitting at the top of the page. So for that I do apologize. I just figured I would get a lot more readers and a lot better ideas by making it the point of the junk drawer. And I also thought people would have some fun talking about it, which many did.
But alas, we’re a society that is very uncomfortable with sex. And with the booming readership these days, I understand that maybe we need to clean up the act a little (Conan moving closer to prime time.) I’m just a little disappointed because people actually did give me some great ideas and I was gonna come back tonight after picking my sister up from the airport and jot those ideas down to formulate a game plan for the night. And despite what you say about just hiding it, it’s gone. None of the links to it work, so I have no access, and therefore it’s gone.
So whatever, it’s no big deal and I’m not gonna start a mutiny or anything crazy like that. I get it, BE doesn’t need a post about bachelor parties to be the first thing people see in the sidebar. I’m just let down that I can’t have my midnight planning session.
Also, thanks to everyone that did give me great ideas. I can at least remember the gist of most of them. I’ll put that ideas to good use and knock one back for each one of you that helped me with my planning. Cheers!

Your post was what a JD is about
The author gives a topic, and people can chose to ignore it or discuss it.
by Sabonis4Ever on Jun 10, 2009 1:00 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, that's what I thought
But most people can’t stand talk about sex whatsoever. And I think the main point was that the bachelor party headline was flying like a bright red flag atop the sidebar all day long and people didn’t want that to be what BE was all about.
So whatever, I don’t post here that often, I mostly just come in and try to devour whatever info I can from this site when I have the time. So site discussion boundaries really don’t bother me that much. Most of the time by the time I’ve read through everything in a topic it’s been hit from every angle and there’s nothing left to be said. So I was kind of having fun seeing that I was hitting a new angle and some people were taking the ball and rolling with it.
I hope no one thought I was being trollish or anything though. I just thought it was a fun topic and I really did get a lot of great ideas out of it.

Naked sushi is a bad idea. Hot bodies and sushi should never be combined until it enters your body. That is all.

Chinese officials have shut down many of these “Nyataimori” restaurants when they started opening in China. They claim it violates health codes and employee dress sanctions, but I suspect that they just don’t want anything Japanese infiltrating their shores.

Will do... I'm curious
didn’t have an opportunity to visit yesterday and missed what appeared to be a HoF edition of the JD. By who else nonetheless?
From what I’m reading tho about it, I have some concerns. Were site rules violated? Was this simply a judgement call? The JD has always been about off-topic material designed to keeping basketball related fanposts from being saturated with non-basketball related goofiness. I’m all for taking out the trolls and rule-breakers, but to penalize the author via cencorship seems off-base.
As JDRCC Chairman, having been given no opportunity for input, I must protest. I will review the facts and then send my respectful thoughts to the mean old mods just to opine.
Frankly, I thought TiHa was impervious to such cencorship. ooops, I gotta wait.

Yesterday's JD was not obscene--it was pretty tame.
I think the issue was the entire topic and tone—probably 1000 comments, and the title, all centered on Portland strip clubs and bachelor parties for the most part. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t want my mom to read, but it was the polar opposite of what Dave is trying to do here.
There may have been some specific, crazy comments that were deleted, but for the most part, not bad. Even Blazerfan1 wasn’t really offended (I don’t think), so it seemed to pass the Sophiometer.

At one point I posted “only a picture of the dead David Carradine could get this post closer to deletion”. I can understand that it touched some topics people might find offensive, and some comments that better would have been cancelled (I cancelled at least 10 in that JD myself to not make dirty jokes). But DID THEY EVEN READ IT?! Just kidding.

Although I was kinda tempted to post some angry tirade filled with as many cuss words as I could plausibly fit into one post just so I could go out in a blaze of glory. I wasn’t actually mad at all, but everyone loves a good martyr once in a while, and that would’ve been the perfect opportunity.

Beckett pitched 6 scoreless innings, bullpen cleaned up scoreless too.
Nick Green (Who? a Triple-A call up if you don’t know, which is understandable) went 2-4 with a homer. Ortiz got his eyes checked and hit his third home run of the season. Red Sox win 7-0. WOO HOO!!

As for Jimmy Fallon, anyone who can’t control himself from laughing at his own jokes should not be on late night television. I feel like he is the worst at that.

Convince one of your friends to get into it
that way you can go watch some episodes with him from time to time. I got one of my buddies into it and since I already knew what was going on in the show I proposed that we play a Wire drinking game over one episode. The game was simple, drink every time someone cusses, and finish your beer anytime Clay Davis drops his classic. Needless to say we were both fairly belligerent by the end of one episode, they cuss a lot.
Other than that, just take joy in watching wire characters showing up in random roles in other TV shows and movies. Like when McNulty was in 300 and everyone cheered when he died, my buddy and I booed as loud as we could to try to save McNultie’s honor.

Yep
a good second best is when McNulty is driving drunk and rams his car into a pillar, gets out, surveys the corner, backs up, tries it again, same result, backs up, treis it again, and finally makes it.
The best part might have been that it had nothing to do with the episode. They just wanted to show that McNulty was getting hammered again.

Dave Berri is the WOW guy who values rebounding quite a bit so the fact that a dude like Othella Harrington is the player of the game would be heart warming over chuckers like Spre, Houston, and Davis.

That's good enough for me.
You’re 100% that Dave Berri is the Wages of Wins guy who has a figurative hard-on for rebounding — which isn’t necessarily a negative thing, except for the fact that he overvalues defensive rebounds in comparison to offensive rebounds — so kudos there.
I wouldn’t exactly call Allan Houston a chucker, though, but Latrell Sprewell and Baron Davis certainly fit the bill.

So many memorable moments in the Boston game I put up one of my first posts with a bunch of "greater thans", most all from that game.
91 > 86 (the score)
Blazers – Roy > Boston
3 Rooks > World Champs
Twin Towers > Three Amigos (1st time twin towers used, Oden & Przybilla)
6 man play > technical foul (this is easy: 2 > 1)(keep this one in the playbook)
Oden’s grin after 6 man play > barking dog (camera panned to Oden, he had a very big grin)
My Dog > your dog
Blazer Spirit > Celtic Swagger
LMA > KG
Ike > Baby Davis
Travis > Any other 6th man
Pryz > Perkins
Pryz > All other backup centers
Sergio > Eddie House
Rudy > Ray Allen (a little poetic license)
Batum > Pierce (poetic license)
Blake > Rondo (The Truth)
Our DNP (did not play) > your DNP
Roy This Year > Roy Last Year
Portland Rainwater > Boston Tea
(If you didn’t see the game, the ball knocked over a beer and got wet, the ref tried to dry it off but you could see the ball was still very wet, Batum took a sniff before he inbounded the ball)Beer soaked basketball > Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy (So I’m a little giddy)
Batum sniffing beer soaked ball > KG smelling Travis’s armpit when KG got posterized
Blazers bench > Celtic bench 29 to 9
Blazer Rebounds > Celtic rebounds 44 to 29
Blazer Points in Paint > C’s Points in Paint 12 to 6
Fastbreak: Bayless to LMA Dunk > allyoop to KG
Greg’s coming out party > Than riding the ball drop in New York at New Years Eve Party
(This game was played just before the new year, Dec 30)
Blazers physicality > Boston physicality
Nate > Doc
15=16 > You Ever Dreamed
Oden’s whack on KG’s head > KG’s elbow in LMA’s rib
LMA’s slap on KG’s head > KG’s elbow in LMA’s rib
PTB Stock > Dow Jones (hmm, the way things are going Enron might end up > Dow Jones)
Allen’s Wallet > Most third world countries
Blazer Tenacity > Refs bad calls
Portland beat Boston > Heat beat Cleveland (Heat beat Cavs on same night)
Blazers Edge > Celtics Blog
Pritch Slap > an Ali Punch
homer fan exuberance > NBA fan objectivity
