I'd describe what the boards are seeing is a reaction to the cries of "INCONSISTENCY!!! UNFAIRNESS!!! J'ACCUSE!@!" we've had here recently insofar as moderation is concerned.

 

Generally speaking, rules will start to get more tightly enforced in a group like this which is constantly pushing the envelope on what is and what is not acceptable. And there will be people ready to point out the inconsistency inherent in the system and the Mods will really have no choice but to err on the side of overmoderation. Why risk another five threads about how stupid they are for ignoring notifications? Just ban 'em all and let Arch sort 'em out.

 

 

Basically it seems to me that the Forum is getting what it was asking for a couple of weeks ago and there might be some collateral damage along the way. But hey, at least no one is saying the bs word with impunity any longer

 

I have begun notifying the mods of well-reasoned and logical posts. This is the first. I believe they will appreciate my thoughtfulness.

 

Can you add to that, the totally illogical posts where people deliberately mask because their friends got in trouble?

 

I can understand posting a rational statement about why you think it was wrong, but yelling, "HEY MODS, COME GET ME TOO" reminds me of those old war movies I never liked where the hero's buddies ran out and got shot.

 

Of course they were actors, so they weren't really getting shot and a week off the boards is not the electric chair, but still;) :facepalm:

 

Although I think the moderation has been super strict recently, my intentional masking did make the point I was trying to make. It was not "HEY MODS, COME GET ME TOO"

 

They may now be heavy handed but I felt they were at the point that they would only respond to porn and when twenty people hit the button. My point was highlighting that fact if you actually read my post and not just the masking part.

Actually I was thinking of COI, not you, lol...I miss Andrew.

 

I understood you, but I thought you were kind of throwing yourself on a sword to make a point.

 

I think the mods were not responding enough for a while. Frankly, it was getting to the point when I was thinking of taking my own vacation.

 

It ain't easy to get this stuff right as all of you who are parents, office managers, school teachers, just plain people or movie goers must know.

 

It's also not easy to get any work done while discussions are going on;) :ohnoez:

COI had done the same thing so I can't even claim to be original.

 

Now that the butthurt is back in CG and they are locking threads again, I say we owe a debt of gratitude to COI.

So, does all that street cred get you a discount at the local Dairy Queen? When I was at C2E2 and told a couple of fellow boardies you got a strike, the universal response was "Park who"?

I'd describe what the boards are seeing is a reaction to the cries of "INCONSISTENCY!!! UNFAIRNESS!!! J'ACCUSE!@!" we've had here recently insofar as moderation is concerned.

 

Generally speaking, rules will start to get more tightly enforced in a group like this which is constantly pushing the envelope on what is and what is not acceptable. And there will be people ready to point out the inconsistency inherent in the system and the Mods will really have no choice but to err on the side of overmoderation. Why risk another five threads about how stupid they are for ignoring notifications? Just ban 'em all and let Arch sort 'em out.

 

 

Basically it seems to me that the Forum is getting what it was asking for a couple of weeks ago and there might be some collateral damage along the way. But hey, at least no one is saying the bs word with impunity any longer

 

I have begun notifying the mods of well-reasoned and logical posts. This is the first. I believe they will appreciate my thoughtfulness.

 

Can you add to that, the totally illogical posts where people deliberately mask because their friends got in trouble?

 

I can understand posting a rational statement about why you think it was wrong, but yelling, "HEY MODS, COME GET ME TOO" reminds me of those old war movies I never liked where the hero's buddies ran out and got shot.

 

Of course they were actors, so they weren't really getting shot and a week off the boards is not the electric chair, but still;) :facepalm:

 

Although I think the moderation has been super strict recently, my intentional masking did make the point I was trying to make. It was not "HEY MODS, COME GET ME TOO"

 

They may now be heavy handed but I felt they were at the point that they would only respond to porn and when twenty people hit the button. My point was highlighting that fact if you actually read my post and not just the masking part.

 

 

Man I wish I would have worded it that way. :foryou:

 

Then it would've been two people who didn't mean it lol

 

It was only 20% for the street cred and 75% righteousness.

 

So, does all that street cred get you a discount at the local Dairy Queen? When I was at C2E2 and told a couple of fellow boardies you got a strike, the universal response was "Park who"?

 

 

:grin:

 

:cry:

 

You were gonna be my number two once I took over. Now you are heading to the irrelevant list. I may banish you to the Watercooler.
