Transparent Moderation Log & Site Topics - Part II - Page 699

Go forth with my blessing, grasshopper.

i'm with the cold one. but it's not an sf problem but internet-wide. it's something we deal with daily where i work ... read the comments at the end of most newspaper stories and it makes CE look like romper room. as someone who has written for a living all my life, under a byline, it would never occur to me to post something in a public place that i wouldn't want to be associated with. actually that's probably the only thing that keeps me that keeps me from being a raging *sshole. (or even more of one).

Don't ever read the tabloids in England if you love impartial well-sourced information..

yeah, but we don't have Page 3 girls.

Ah, but we do have These are real, right? (The all-natural, fakes-backlash, God-sculpted thread) NSFW.

Don't get things twisted. Frenchy was banned, not timed out, for racist comments, a while ago. I'm not sure how he misunderstood this. If you come back after you are banned, you are already in contravention of all the rules of the forum, and the only reason you are still around is because we exercised our perogative to show some leniency. We were getting increasing numbers of complaints (not from Piobaire, btw) about Frenchytoo, and we aren't going to go out of our way to protect people who have been tossed already, and especially for being particularly offensive. So, the decision to ban him again was a pretty easy call.

Also, j, the founder of the site and the head admin, started the thrift brag thread, and it was his baby for a long time. Just fyi.

Wait one damn minute. This guy claims to "write" for a living, but can't find the shift key. What a turkey head.

SPAM -

Roofing contractor spamming in General Chat.

Doesn't he know that 94 percent of SFers live in condos?

And the other six percent in basements.

but that leaves no room for the 1%

The 1% don't need your stinking maths.

Sorry this is so late, but I was going to reread the Coherent Combinations for Beginners thread and couldn't access it. Then saw that Cobera's posts had the dreaded static avatar that Vox's do. Had to scan back through this thread to figure out what happened.

Shit!!!!

Was Vox offered a "Dubious Honored" title? Those powers were actually one of the things he suggested.

It's hard to express how sad it is to have Vox gone. I learned so much from his posts. Not just his posts in WAYWRN or the threads he started with his own pictures (Coherent Combinations, construction of ties, ect) or the Subjective And Totally Unfair Digests, but also the knowledge he would contribute to other threads.




To me, what he contributed in the past and still would contribute in the future is worth far, far more than the new content (front page, styleforum101) have to pay to be developed (Of couse not including the return of Manton, Foo, Doc, ect- that has been awesome). Whatever we can do to keep this level of poster active in MC should be done. If acknowledging his concerns and making a concession to him that he requested would keep him here, isn't that worth it.?




As an aside, does anyone have a copy saved of Coherent Combinations? I actually thought to myself- maybe I should save this onto the hard drive just in case he deletes all this and puts a period in instead.

I think people here take everything way too personally.

This.

i write for money. shift key gets time-and-a-half. considering the exorbitant rates i'm already being paid here, i'll leave it to the mods to decide whether it's worth the extra.
