if someone complained about DANGERBABY in the title, please point us to this post. 

No one did, I just thought it was childish as hell to have on the main forum page, I mentioned that already.

DangerBaby is so incredibly overrated… and honestly I think I see that largely because I rated him so highly.

 

I thought he would basically go undefeated through the series. Aside from potentially first turn issues which might drop him back to scraping in to a podium finish. 

But he doesn’t look to have improved on last year. Last year he was incredibly impressive. Was consistent and aggressive with a willingness to push the pace and keep it under control for the most part. I figured with a full year under his belt and the Lawrence boys moving up. The 250 class was his to dominate.

users claim otherwise, myself included. and, as was your predecessor's downfall, if you want to edit things...ok. Just explain WHY when you do it instead of making us call you out for it.

If it's a concern, users can ask I'll freely answer as I always do. Again, you'll survive. I've realized with you everything is a problem or an issue, so there's no pleasing you.

I’ve actually had a post edited before without my knowledge. This was a while back, but I remember I went back into a thread, reread my post and it was definitely different from what I had written originally.

At that point, just delete my post, don’t change the words that came out of my mouth.

Wow! What a bunch of shitheads!

This had to have been two or three years ago, at least. Not sure who did it or why, can’t remember what the topic of conversation was, but it was definitely odd to see.

The last guy that ran this site regularly censored posts and banned people, especially those that didn't fit his political leanings. Haven't seen that at all since ML took over.

ML is the best thing that has happened to this site in a long time.   Nobodys perfect,  so he may misstep now and then.  But Im grateful he is the bossman around here.

RandomUserName....   Vital is nowhere close to how it was moderated before, not even in the same solar system.       Chill man. Cool

 

On a side note....

The mob mentality here is every bit as bad as social disease media....

Just because YOU don't like his answer, doesn't mean if you keep asking you'll get a different one.

You're definitely a "problem for every solution" guy. 

Move on, or move out, if you are that bothered by it.

I like DangerGuy. it delegitmizes the "brand", the "character"**, without being overly pejorative. 

**gypsytales interview..., no brands are going to think you're "cool" and are going to make their product "cool" when you're throwing tantrums and making cheap moves.

Deegan is the brand, sold through social media, his consumers aren't riders, they don't care about his tantrums or cheap moves.

Okay....that made me laugh out loud.    Damn funny!Grinning

FWIW - I made my peace with Mr GuyB.    

Moderating is a shit show for those doing it (speaking from experience).     It's hard to find people who A.) want to put in the time and get repaid in abuse, B.) aren't going to let the power go to their head.   (never EVER bring someone on who volunteers for the job....that's a red flag).        

Mav and ML have pretty level heads on their shoulders.

forums are an unfiltered look at what a target market is doing, brands can use this forum to literally read the minds of their customers. Wouldn’t it help for Dipshitboy’s camp to see what sort of response they are generating in the most core segment of their market???

This is the most sensible post ive read in a while! 

You could have the winning rider every weekend, but if the fans dont like him and want to emulate him by buying his endorsed bike/kit/products then theres no point in having him. 

The last place rider is a better bet if the fans love him.

This forum has been much better ever since you started moderating, Michael. You've taken a much more hands-off approach, and we appreciate that, but you're inching into the previous guy's territory here. 

You edited the title not because it was offensive, not because it was political, not because it was bigoted, but only because you found it to be childish.

Most of us recognized the title for what it is: a funny poke at DangerBaby's nickname on a weekend when he was acting extremely childish. 

I hope you will continue to moderate this forum in a manner that allows us to have good, clean fun talking about moto.

Like DV said on Matthes show, Deegan is what he is - before, now and in the future. Barcia is the same, he was dirty and unenlightened at the beginning and he pretty much is the same today. Deegan will be the same douche in 10 years

The moniker "Dangerboy" really is not that much higher on the less childish scale, than "Dangerbaby", Michael.

I do hope he  and his family decide to drop that , but, they have so much invested in it, for so many years now. So, I'm not expecting it happening soon.

Haiden : get your 'palmeres' from just that : your record of Achievements, and get rid of 'clicks' attained  though controversy. It's got a longer shelf life : Achievement, I reckon.

So cut out the tantrum when bikes were tangled and then cut the ‘hard’ pass for 7th BUT keep in the look back and ‘confrontation’ showing CShock as the aggressor.

This is the 1st of ‘their’ vlogs I have watched and am more than happy to say it will be the last.

So, DangerBaby Daddy says if you don't like us, fuck off, at the same time someone is hunting down thread titles on Vital to change them? I bet they do care what we think. A lot. 

@ML512 was it you and the mods who decided to change the title of this thread on your own or did you get pressured?

I changed it over a day ago of my own regard. It seemed childish as hell to put dangerbaby. I’ve been very critical of him on our pods lately so I get it, but drifting into childish name calling is just stooping to internet swamp level. Basically the same as people are accusing him of if not even farther down the hole.

You do a good job, but it’s a bit questionable to start clipping comic parody, however biting, or “childish”,

This is a young man, a professional, who refers to himself as dangerboy.

I doubt you would advocate clipping such parody throughout media, around the world. Why do it here?

He is an 18YO child that has been programmed to act/be a certain way. Does anybody remember the movie Short Circuit? He now has RW Input to base his life decisions on. There is little benefit to anybody by continuing to lay it on. 

We all know the past never changes from what it has been. Let’s give him the opportunity to grow (not that I think there is much hope) from this just as you would your own child from their mistakes. See if he can become his own man as Brian 2.0 just ain’t workin’. Part of the problem here the bedbugs laid it on too thick on the way up and payback is hell. For certain he will be dealing with the repercussions of his recent actions for along time.

Much better ML moderating based on empathy than GuyB based on politics.
