I wont speak for all the mods, but it looks like I'm the first one to the thread.

Since the late 90s when Chief started, the mods have been pretty consistent in their actions. Any discussion that concerns leaking the game in any way gets shut down to keep an even playing field. That includes the time an image repository was accidentally public, any (serious) manual cracking discussion, people breaking into SNHU, and even discussion about the time some kid went into the rock climbing place across from HQ to catch a glimpse of the 3rd floor.* Now that I think of it, this kind of thread is pretty common too, if you go digging.

Kickoff is my favorite of the FIRST events because everyone is in the best mood they will be all season. Noone's crabbing about rules, or who did what to whom, and everyone is well rested and optimistic. HQ has done lots of hard work all year long, we can wait a couple of days.

If you have an issue I recommend you speak to Mike Martus directly, because airing of grievances won't get you far. It never really does.

*(Ok, that one wasn't discussed, but it happened and I love telling that story.)
