Ok cool, although the problem with that is you can very rapidly turn delusion into just what appeals of doesnt appeal to your sensibilities.
I dunno im pretty much happy with the way it is, you really have to give voice to everything ultimately, even if its stuff you dont like (creationism, religion).
I think you have to do this otherwise its a very steep slippery slope tomorrows total dogma which im pretty sure none (most) people dont want.

Yes, if positions are patently foolish, it will come out in the wash.

spidergoat,
i also feel that all assholes should be treated equally.
i'm still waiting on your list of acceptable assholes.

avatar,
thanks for bringing this thread back on target.
i forgot what the purpose was.

 

...following than...

So, you would curse in church? :bugeye:

 

What do you mena why? By definition, maybe?

Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it illogical.

Implicitly or explicitly, it's all the same. You suggest that the problem is too hard, so we should find ways around having to ask the question.

 

It must be the nicotine withdrawal.

 

He's a [ENC]Myuu[/ENC]nitarian. It's cool with us.

 

Avatar, choose in which direction "you" want sciforums to go, then ban/kick all that does not conform. It might be harsh but if you want to mold your community you have to make a choise and follow true.

It is a simple question of the level of control you wish to enforce, do you allow the user to drive or kick the user to the backseat and assume control yourself

 

Crowd control can be subtler than that. :bagpuss:

 

translation:

Sniping people's IP's out of the system

 

what, or whose, definition would that be?

i believe i asked you to explain it it to me so that i could see how logical it was.

i never said or implied any such thing.
i DID say the riddle of life hasn't been solved.

 

Just don't call a member that.

 

i sent a PM to sam telling her what you did.

why don't you sent her a PM and ask her what she thought about it.

so, i guess by your response that anyone calling anyone else an asshole in the forums you moderate will get an infraction. right?

 

Yes, but ass-wipe is keen.

 

It would be nice if SciForums was properly moderated again. The forums are better when the the threads aren't polluted with nonsensical posts and one-liners from posters who obviously have nothing of value to contribute, but simply can't stop themselves from posting anyway.

Have you considered limiting the number of posts per hour? It might help the members to be more selective in which threads they choose to participate. Just a thought. Good luck Avatar. It wont be easy.

 

But of course, with x number of posts per hour, few of Skin's and James R's opponents would make longer posts, for fear that all that work would be deleted, the Stalinist-like moderators' dilemma, what will they do

 

I could ask sam what she thought, and she would probably not care. That's the way she is. I don't find it acceptable, and I hope anyone called that or other vulgar names would bring it to my attention by PM.

 

HEY SPIDERGOAT,
you gonna respond to post 94?
are you a mind reader or something?

 

this doesn't answer the question "will anyone calling another member an asshole in the forums you moderate be given an infraction?"

i'm going to be honest with you spidey, i believe you went stupid because of my participation in this thread about the origins of life.

the above will be confirmed when and if another asshole is mentioned and that asshole doesn't get an infraction. i'll be watching.

plazma,
what happens to moderators that discriminate?
