I realize Purdue might be due for a bounce back having lost to UCLA on the road but, they've never "put-away" great teams at home this year, at least not by 6+ points.

Nebraska
Minnesota plays exceptional at home, even though they suck overall but, Hoiberg is a great coach. With this line moving down 2 points over the last few hours, I have to bite on the Huskers covering. They are a very very good team.

Seton
Depaul sucks. Can't believe this is only 2 pt spread. Seton is coming off 3 losses but they were against good teams >> Depaul. Depaul hasn't beaten a top 80 team all year (0-7). Seton is KP #49.

G. Mason
I have this at a 5-6 pt spread. Getting -1 is a gift.
Mason beat Rhode Island by 11 at home Jan 3rd.

I'm not sure why @Franz555 thread has been locked up. If it's the arguments he was having with Wager about some posts in the in-game threads, that's kind of nuts. I would have expected moderators, as keepers of the forum, would be a little more hard-skinned about being called out.

Although I did not see the posts Franz was referencing, I can imagine what they were like to have caused his response. It's unfortunate that our society has "normalized" some of the BS that is spewed regarding murders and racism. I realize this is a forum so just about anything goes, but it seems the limits on what should be remotely acceptable have become blurred or are being moved to such extremes as to be non-existant. I choose to ignore those threads/posts because I cannot control them. It doesn't mean they don't disgust me when I do see them because they do.

Finally, I understand that moderating is a difficult job. There are tough calls to make but, locking up Franz's thead for the posts I can see, seems overblown. If there is more to this than I can see, I would love to understand it better.

Explained it very well in his thread but he is being completely unreasonable

I will go over it once more….

We do not remove or move every single political post as we don’t like to be overbearing

If a member slips in a political comment once in a while, we will usually leave it, but if it becomes repetitive, yes, we will move them

The member in question never makes political posts, so we let the single post slide

Keep in mind this is the case no matter what side or opinion an unmoved post relates to

Yet this single post was picked out of a 250-post thread

With his follow up comments, it’s obvious Franz did not like that in particular because of HIS OWN political opinions

And I reiterate & stress the fact that we have left many posts that Franz would be in favor of, some made by yourself Tanko (not trying to be disrespectful), which he had absolutely no problem with

Again, we give everyone a pass occasionally to slip something in

One member cannot be hypocritical by picking & choosing what they believe should stand or be removed

Lastly, Franz’s thread was locked because he said he was leaving & to move on from further drama in the thread

Sometimes you seem to be more lenient towards one side of the spectrum than the other. As a moderator, you should be as nuetral as possible. I realize it is difficult to compartmentalize your personal beliefs but, Franz's comments in his thread were no different than others you've allowed without repurcussions.

Also, in general, you frequently seem to turn things into a "political opinion" issue even when they are not. Its like a default used as a hammer. Sure, everything can be made politcal but, some issues are just moral and ethical comments, not political. I'm not referring to the comments in Franz's thread. This is just a general observation.

I know moderating is tough, but in my opinion I think this is an over-reaction.

Tank do I need to pull up several posts you made yourself criticizing Trump and everything going on that we left in the Main form?

Because I can

For example, JJ’s tariff thread was left in the Main form for months and we let you guys say whatever you wanted in there

There were no complaints at all

Plz Do not try to twist this on me

Indeed, it was an overreaction

And overreaction by Franz

You may not know or maybe you do he has had issues here with Sunny, stormy, and others, and always threatens to leave if we don’t take action against them

This is yet another case of that

And I don’t know how many times I have to say it he has never complained about posts that have been left that supports his beliefs
