You can run but you cant hide, we will find you and when we do , we are going to watch you eat crow from incorrectly predicting that BP would not make its budget back and not get to a Billion BO.
shareHe isnt going to show up man. He already went back and attempted to edit those posts he made. Funny thing is he missed a post.
shareLooks like Lando's status just went platinum with this call out.
shareHey furious, here is what the Moderator of this board had to say about this:
[–] Moderator5 (313) 6 days ago
Why are you reporting these? Your trolling was pretty funny at first but it's now getting ridiculous.
For the record, before I delete the OP and thereby lock the thread:
landofree's original post stated that there was no way BP would make it to $1 billion. He then changed it and a number of others to make it seem that he predicted the opposite. And now that it's devolved into flaming and fake reports, it's gone.
Lando just went Plaid with call out as well.

^^^^^
worth noting I've never seen this before...
I've been a regular on boards like this for 8 years now...I've seen countless Trolling fails
I've never seen a Troll fail so horrifically that The Moderator JOINED in on Publicly Humiliating the Troll
thats what happened here...In wasnt enough for the Moderator to simply delete the thread, The Moderator wanted to JOIN IN on Humiliating The Troll before Deleting it
this IMO takes Landos thread...from just a Bad Fail to AN ALL TIME FAIL
I wasn't trying to humiliate anyone and it's now clear to me that I erred by wading in. There was already ample evidence in that thread of what really happened and there was no need for my comment.

^^^^^^^
but You did!
you couldnt help it.
You were so Stunned by The Trolling of Lando...Instead of deleting thread immediately You posted his original post and called him out of his pathetic trolling...
you may realize now that you were wrong(I dont think you were wrong, sometimes A Troll can do something so stunning you cant help but be human) but the facts are you went Beyond what a moderator is supposed to do(again I give you credit)...
but you did JOIN in on Humiliating Lando...You wanted everyone to know BEFORE you deleted his thread what kind of pathetic Troling he had done...
I get that as a Moderator you now feel/realize you were wrong, but the facts are you did it.
You did Intentionally Try to Humiliate him, other wise you would have deleted the thread immediately and never said anything...
again I give you credit for this, I applaud you...But the facts are I've never seen this done before, Not in 8 years on being a regular, this to me, speaks to just what kind of FAIL Landos thread was...
for you as a moderator to JOIN in....makes Landos FAIL an ALL TIMER...
dont feel bad or feel you were wrong...It truly was A Stunning Trolling Fail that caught most of us by surprise, The extremes and Lows lando went to by going back and not only changing the TITLE but also changing All the replies in the thread is almost unprecedented, You simply like MOST of us were Stunned by what you were witnessing and acted HUMAN
I think you got it wrong Bill. Moderator wasn't joining in the humilliation of lando. He was defending himself. You should check the thread. Lando went crazy and stared calling people conspirators. He started to call me stalker and accusing me of harrasing him even when I wasnt talking to him any longer. He then proceeded to call out the Moderator and acussing him too. The first thing the moderator wrote was that there were enough evidence of lando ruse, only that. Just that. But then lando went mad and started calling out the moderator. I always beleived lando had delete the thread himself out of pure shame, until days later I noted the Moderator's second message stoping his rant and calling his trolling. Had lando behaved like a man and taken what he knew was coming, then the mderator surely hadnt intervened.
Also, lando humilliated himself by trying to pull this ridiculous stunt...
it doesnt matter....my point still stands, I've never seen a Moderator do this...
If the Moderator didnt like what Lando was saying about him...The Moderator should have just deleted thread immediately...
instead The Moderator intentionally Pointed out how badly Landos troll thread failed before deleting it....The Moderator is even now admitting that it was a mistake.
The Moderator may not want to admit he tried to humiliate lando, because thats looks bad on him as a moderator buts thats exactly what happened...
like all of us The Moderator was HUMAN and was stunned by what was happening, it was just such an odd and pathetic attempt at trolling, The Moderator Couldnt help but JOIN in....
whether it was defending himself or Joining in...The Moderator made the decision to ADD to the Humiliation of Lando...
at least for me, I've never seen this done before....
and again I'm in no way saying this as a negative on The Moderator...I applaud the Moderator, It was an ODD Situation, A stunning situation, Lando kind of caught us all off guard by the depths of his failures....
The Moderator simply saw a troll being SHOCKINGLY Pathetic and called him out on it, Like the rest of us were doing...
PS
If your right about Lando deleting the thread himself thats even worse because that means the Moderator NEVER deleted it instead leaving it there to Humiliate Lando until Lando finally deleted it.
It means the Moderator PURPOSELY didnt do his job to Humiliate Lando..
Landos posts officially became "NOT MOVIE RELATED" the second he changed the title and proved he was trolling and it was a troll thread...
if the moderator was doing his job correctly, It should have been immediately deleted the second the Moderator noticed it ....
but we know the moderator didnt do that, instead the Moderator posted this-

which means the Moderator didnt delete thread immediately, instead made a post that added to the Humiliation on Lando...I believe the Moderator deleted the thread shortly after...
But if your right and The Moderator didnt delete it, thats means The Moderators intentionally Left A "NON MOVIE RELATED" troll thread active where he himself added a post that made fun of lando...
for The Moderators sake...I hope your wrong because if it didnt delete the thread...that truly means Lando was forced to delete the thread out of shame, but also means The Moderator completely threw out his own rules of only "Movie Related" topics to Humiliate Lando...
There no justification for not deleting Landos thread the second The Moderator realized Lando changed the titled and replies....if The Moderator never in fact deleted the thread like your claiming/suggesting and Lando was forced to....then The Moderator Intentionally didnt do his job, Intentionally Left a NON MOVIE RELATED thread active
for the record I dont believe that, I do believe the Moderator deleted this thread...I think The Moderator correctly made the decision to delete the decision as soon as he realized what lando was doing, But I think he was HUMAN and decided to join in on making fun of Lando shortly before deleting the thread
I think you are not understanding me, with the Moderator's second post, the one you keep quoting, it is obvious the Moderator was the one who deleted the thread. I just didn't realize it right away... I no longer believe lando deleted, because Moderator already accepted doing it in his second post
I do participate in forums where the moderators take sides and it is awful. This is not the case here. However, I still believe the moderator did what was expected from him. He hadn't taken any side if lando hadnt gone crazy. Moderator first post was just a warning. He probably wanted the amusing thread running. Lando couldn't keep it quiet so he brought this to himself. Moderator just didnt give him another chance. For, the record, I am one who do not believe in closing threads at the first sign of problem or confrontation. Lando had a chance to relinquish, didn't take it though...
I still think you should read that part of the thread, in which you were engaged too, in order to have a better context of the situation.
I understand everything your saying...
I just have the opinion that I believe The Moderator absolutely knew he was going to delete the thread, but was so shocked by Landos trolling, that He made a post before deleting it to make sure everyone knew the depths Lando sank to...
the moderator may have never made the intentional decision to "Humiliate" lando...but for me its clear, the moderator was so disgusted by Landos trolling(Like all of us) that before deleting the thread he wanted to make sure everyone 100% knew what Landos original post was....the only reason to do this, is to make Lando look bad, To show how badly he failed...
again I chalk this up to being human, I just think the moderator Knew he was getting ready to delete the thread, but was so stunned and disgusted by lando behavior, He couldnt help but get a Jab in before deleting it...
Technically, though...deleting the OP doesn't lock/close the thread itself, just isolates the OP. I can reply to replies, just not to the OP.
shareI do not think you participated on lando's self humilliation. I really appreciate what you did there. I am not completely aware of your duties as a Moderator, but as any person with some power, I think one of your first obligation is with the True. If by avoiding more conflicts in that thread you had to call for the true facts, then more power to you, moreover when the troll was calling people liars, conspirators and stalkers. You did yout job, and must be OK with that. Any lesson learned there will help you to do it even better next time. THX
Also, by telling the true and exposing him you avoided days, if not weeks, of needless confrontations between troll and the rest of the participants...
My first comment in that thread was ok, but the second one was unnecessary. So many people had responded to his original prediction that anyone reading the thread would have figured it out, even if they were a little confused at first. But I thank you for your support.

I'm also in complete support of you...
I know it sounds like I'm not but I complete agree with what you did...
unfortunately to make fun of lando...To properly explain why I believe Lando threads is an ALL TIME fail, I have to bring up you....I'm sorry
I'm not doing it to be mean to you or suggest your not a good moderator(I actually have MORE respect for you now)...I just have never seen A Moderator do what you did, and for me personally that elevate Landos Fail to An ALL TIME fail!
You have my full support...Keep up the good work!
Thanks, bill. And thanks for your ongoing box office posts, which are like a masterclass on the subject. Very impressive analysis.
shareI never read the exchange (frankly this movie's board is pitiful and has succeeded in putting me right off watching it) but I think moderators *should* be able to do their jobs with a bit of humour. You're not robots!
shareLandofree is a cautionary tale, that we shouldn't let these movies, or these forums get to us so much...
I can't imgaine the psychological pain he suffered by being so emotionally attached to this... He deserves our pity, as much as any scorn...
