Astacio is hideous, HE HAS A WHOLE NOTHER ECO SYSTEM GROWING ON HIS FACE.

I second that. After I saw his pic, I didn't even need to look at the others, my mind was made up.

And you know what? that's not nearly as scary as he looks up close.

They only use non-hd cameras to film him.

That's why he can't get my vote. To me, it's akin to being deformed, which is way different than being ugly. Having a deformity is cheating in an ugly competition.

 

Now Mossi, that's good old-fashioned ugly. He doesn't need a second head growing out of his face to be jaw-droppingly hideous. He's just suiting up and coming correct with a classic, triple-fugly mug.

Believe me, had I heard of Mossi prior to making this poll, he would have been the #1 entry.

 

I voted for Gaetti. No votes for Zane or Weathers?

Jay Gibbons... YUCK!

"That man is ugly!"

 

".....Thats Greg Maddux's brother"

 

"Oh,"

 

(He knew Greg Maddux is my idol)

I can't believe you left off Otis Nixon!

 

A little visuals to support my contention that Nixon is indeed the ugliest baseball player.

Exactly, that was one ugly human being, not just an ugly ballpalyer

Okay folks. Enough is enough. This poll is completely out of hand. I’m posting this announcement to let you know that this contest should be over. This is open for discussion or debate. The contest should be over.

 

What started this winter as a rather quiet distraction very quickly became an all-consuming monster.

 

Not only have the pictures been out of line, but many of the comments were inappropriate, anti-ugly and completely unacceptable. This is a family site, welcoming to kids and to women. It was made clear after initial objections surfaced where the boundaries would be -- effectively, a PG rating.

 

However, the content of these threads was most decidely not PG, nor was it family/female friendly.

 

The mods hardly attempted to monitor the various threads. However, very quickly complaints and concerns -- as well as the content itself -- did not overwhelm our ability to police these threads effectively and in a timely manner, apparently because you're all sick. Merely editing the offensive portions of messages, deleting inappropriate pictures, and/or removing offending posts clearly failed to happen in this situation. Inappropriate pictures were not removed by a mod, only to be re-posted anyway later in the day. Rude commentary was encouraged, repeated and applauded. Indeed, these threads quickly turned the polls forum into a locker room and reduced otherwise intelligent, capable members of this community to a bunch of Neanderthals, leering and drooling over pictures of half-formed men.

 

It is apparent that you cannot and will not control yourselves and maintain even the slightest amount of decorum and board appropriateness.

 

This is a baseball site dedicated to the Cubs. We all appreciate that it is the offseason and we’re bored waiting for the 2006 version of our beloved Cubbies to be revealed in all their honor and glory. However, that doesn’t mean that it is acceptable to while away the winter viewing an extended series of polls crudely objectifying men – be they baseball players or otherwise.

This poll should be locked, it offends me because I am ugly and am a male, plus I think it is mean to make fun of people for their outward appearance.

Any public mocking of moderators on this board is unacceptable. Please stop. Immediately. Thank you.

Actually that was directed more at the people who complained about the polls to the moderators, but I'll leave them alone too.

Good idea.

In all seriousness, are you saying then that outright, undisguised and unashamed public mockery of the appearance of others is compatible with this being "a family site, welcoming to kids..."?

That's neither here nor there as regards whether or not mockery of the appearance or others is compatible with your site policy.

 

Or is your site policy that a problem only exists if someone actively complains about it, or enough people actively complain? In which case, may I suggest, your site policy needs reviewing with regards to objective and consistent implimentation, which ought to be a defining property of every set of rules or regulations.

Not true. I believe the intent of your first post was to mock the moderators on this forum, which suggests to me that this discussion has a similar intent. I suggest you bring in up with Tim if your concern is an honest one, either via PM or email.

I'm pretty sure Ezequiel Astacio is going to win this thing.

That's because Don Mossi wasn't an option.
