Exciting Updates to the CGC Chat Boards 15 15

[MyNameIsLegion]

If you use private browsing mode on a mobile device it seems like your log in session on the boards expires much more quickly. I have the same issue too as a result

I get it every time I swipe out of safari, and the “remember me” box is also checked when logging in. Not using private/incognito.

Thanks for the clarification Sharon. As for the video, it was pulled because somehow masks became political. I wasn't even in the video so no middle finger jacket.

I have never had a problem with you personally. I did have a problem with Dena because of her belligerent and condescending style. Maybe the pot kettle thing, but so be it. I did have a problem with your moderation. I did what I did. I won't apologize for it. I got the result I wanted, which simply was to make CGC aware that the moderation on these boards had become a negative PR situation for them. I realize that you don"t want to hear that, and probably don't agree with it. But here we are. So if you wish to rehash it, then by all means have at it. But I wouldn't change a thing.

First of all, I have never seen anything where anyone got moderated for mentioning masks. If that had been true, I would have had a ton of points, I gave away enough masks in the forums.. So I obviously have the wrong post.

2ndly, you can be displeased with my "moderation" all you want, but other than pulling a thread that you started so I could  clean it, not because of you, but because a nude drawing which did not fit in the rules that were posted at that time was posted and people were making comments about "my pillows".  If you think that stuff is appropriate, you are entitled to your opinion , I will disagree. Since we don't seem to have a lot of other women here (I can't imagine why) , I guess I won't have to make a poll to see if any other females agree.

As for you being displeased with my moderation...  I once called you sexist for reasons I felt were valid at the time, and I felt I should recuse myself from making any decisions regarding you, so  I did, except for that one thread. . I figured that one would be ok, because the issue didn't pertain to you specifically..

Call it "rehashing" ...I call it clarifying.   

Stay well.

Under the previous moderation regime, I received a week's suspension for starting a thread talking about my job.

Any time I need to clear my cache, I get a BURRITO SUPREME® COMBO from Taco Bell.

Same.  It's unfixable on my end.

Very strange.  I use android,  so that was my fix.  Perhaps we have some apple users who figured this out.

Considering how the boards have been, by now you may need to update your avatar..

If when you mean swiping out that you are leaving it in the background and not actually closing safari as an app, then yes that would be a problem, but if you are actually closing the app, that’s no different than quitting your browser and the remember me option can’t work in that case.

what I suspect specifically with Apple’s IOS is the recent change is cookie retention that requires a website to explicitly ask for you to opt into cookies. I don’t recall CGG doing this, and Apple may then be opting out of cookies that keep you logged in by default. To be frank the webhosting/web developers for this platform are not cutting edge. CGC would do well to fire them, because all their sites and domains are hosted through them, not just the message board. After the Blackstone purchase, CGC is due to upgrade a lot of things befitting a company of their size and revenue.

Closing the app/browser never caused me to logout in the past and does not when visiting other forums or even my CGC account homepage. It’s only when trying to access these boards.

In the past yes, but that kind of supports what I said above. Every site has to do something with their session cookies on an Apple device, but absent that Apple is going to do something to all sites that defaults to protecting user privacy unless the user has specifically opted into something. That something needs to be configured on the backend. I don’t think that has occurred.

Also, to your point that you are still logged into your CGC account but not the board: the message boards are a completely different technology platform from the CGC website, it’s probably a third party hosted suite and is bolted onto the CGC site. They pass credentials from CGC to the boards for authentication of users, and that’s where this is falling now

I have had this problem happen on a Macintosh (using Firefox), a Macintosh (using Safari), an iPhone (using Safari), a Windows 11 PC (using Chrome), and a Windows 11 PC (using Edge). I'm pretty sure the problem is at the CGC side.

Both make sense, but it’s surprising, and frankly disappointing, that a company like CGC wouldn’t have hired or contracted with someone to fix something like this. It doesn’t appear to be a problem with any other site or forum I visit.

I bet it still works on Windows Explorer 11! 
 

Because IE is a joke, please don’t use IE.

The problem with your summary of events is the description of what led to Richard's "temper tantrum" was pretty much 100% false.

But other than that...

Please tell then. All he originally questioned was why his sales thread was moderated.  So I am going by the complaint he brought up. 

Well, the problems started with your first point - unless I missed a later confession, his sales thread was never a "joke." The fact that it was taken as such was due to a misunderstanding. I would try to summarize, but I wouldn't want to follow up your mistake with a similar one of my own, so if you are at all interested in how that misunderstanding came about, I'm pretty sure Sharon's explanation is still on the board.

And I would like to be clear that I think Richard did, at times, go overboard in his presentation on the matter - not sure I would go as far as "temper tantrum", but I wouldn't argue with it overly much, either. And I do believe he owes Sharon an apology for his blanket reference to the moderators as buffoons, particularly after it became clear what had happened with his thread. I understand getting upset about it, and clearly mistakes were made (a phrase I generally dislike, but feel actual fits in this case), but not backing off on some of what he said in the heat of the moment does not help his case.

This thread delivered way more exciting updates than I was expecting.
