It would be great to have a thread on the physical and neurological health ramifications of using the subjective proactively vs. treating it like a necessary contaminant or artifact that your five senses have to wade through on their way out. However we're on the topic of threads getting locked without mods claiming responsibility or stating their reason.
I don't feel like that's a good direction for the site to go in, especially when PPR is already something like brawling with a certain etiquette and when the moderators themselves are often part-and-partisan in the debates. In that situation moderators would want to, if nothing else at least for image and appearance, put a closing blurb on the thread when they lock it to spell out the infraction properly. Without that it starts looking like it's happening either haphazardly or along certain peoples' whims.
I was just surprised to see that without anyone saying anything and when I looked further down the thread at some of the other locked posts I noticed that it's a corner that's getting cut with a fair amount of frequency.
"Remember, this is a family friendly community"Most of the other mods are much older and female, so I can see what you mean, and they have less communication difficulties than us, but got a chip on their shoulder and make putting head and shoulders above the rest a tougher chore, when they passively cast people out of being true.
I actually get the feeling that a bat and a ball has been placed in the centre of a ring and if you get upset and retaliate back, you’re given the Trunchball treatment.
Unlike the other faults previously mentioned, you’ve obviously put a case across that sounds plausible, but whilst we/I know threads are rotated for various reasons and others are not, it is more down to the outer framework and not the core where we relapse these issues.(rather than deal with them).
If anything is being violated, it is through not having a simple agreement on the terms that all members must adhere to, whether they’re marked disabled or not. If you don’t make yourself comply, then make yourself leave. That’s easier said than done. If you’re having a hard day, do you moan about it, hold a grudge or begrudge other people? If you’re careful, you don’t drown in defeat.
The fact here is, if people can hack through each thread and post consistently bad or negative comments, then they’re capable of much worse.
I’ve witnessed it all before, when I was last a member and matters relating to the forming and posting of threads were a lot harder to ignore. As the new site has brought ‘new light’ to the forum, it has dissuaded some individuals from making a snap reappearance and have instead ploughed through their own backyard to find answers there.(should picking bones become more a fear factor).
I was recently informed by a random moderator, that on a forum this shape and size, you can’t go through everyone’s mishaps. Well, Cornflake did. (Even with harsh tactics instilled). The message he gave out to other members is, you can’t go around doing this, you’ve been told twice before, now you’re banned. Trouble with that is that everyone develops a bad impression of each other and fears "bugging" them again.
This often included some innocent members unfortunately. How can there be a just reward there then?
I think there is a difference between making a general comment and calling it an opinion, sharing useful and helpful information or conspiring to make that person look even worse.
I’m noticing a rise in the sexual nature of most of the threads in L&D and random sectors where most if not all of the threads are governed by various male members. Who gave the message out that its “ok” to demean and denounce women who can’t find their way in life and are having a hard time not of choice.
There’s talk of feminism etc, I don’t see any.
Oh well, what you can’t poach in person you won’t have a hard time doing on a forum.
Sorry for the blunt choice of words.
Oh, and I'm on the threshold of another massive tidal wave, Tsunami, that I might need to avoid. Soon.
Bye Tech:)
