^cry me a river space dork


oh and yea less intervention by the moderators is a +, especially when its not requested by a few users

3/2/2003 4:14:33 PM

there's a difference between stopping a useless, hateful, or multiple thread, and actually limiting the free speech posts on the website, no?

3/2/2003 4:18:22 PM

true free speech is unrestricted

3/2/2003 4:23:02 PM

true free speech is a federal matter... not a private one

3/2/2003 4:24:39 PM

how about you PM bartleby and ask him why he deleted the posts.....he's the only one who runs entertainment

"and spacechicken, does it really matter if 10 posts were deleted? i mean shit i can do anything in this section, ask bartleby"

then later:

true comes out then eh?




and youre right timswar it is a federal matter. the wolf web doent have to abide by that all. but it would be nice if it did (most of the time it does, and more so than any other site so hell yeah!)

if the posts are offensive they should be edited by the moderator to empty rather then deleting them

3/2/2003 6:11:26 PM

strange how in one thread somehting "offensive" is trashed while in another thread the same said actions are left.......assuming thats why it was...

3/2/2003 9:49:46 PM

from http://www.brentroad.com/site_postguide.aspx:

Go light with the insults - It is welcomed to attack someone's ideas but please refrain attacking character.

Stay On-Topic - Try to stick with the topic. If you have something important to say that doesn't relate to the topic, then start a new topic. If you have something useless to say, keep it to yourself.

Be thoughtful/humorous - Hundreds of people browse the message board each day. Before you post something, think to yourself, "would the majority of the users want to read this?". If the answer is "no", then don't post it.

Do not fuck with the moderators - Not really a requirement, but more of a suggestion. A key suggestion: If they contact you in private about an issue, reply back in private. There is nothing that pisses them off more than you publicly broadcasting information meant for just you.

i made a mistake in the thread

cant i make a mistake......i cant do ANYTHING in any sections except for chit chat and the lounge

and even though i am a moderator i can't edit after 30 minutes still

spacechicken, if you read the post i made AFTER my original post, then you would see i made a mistake and clarified

I like the new mods

[Edited on March 2, 2003 at 11:56 PM. Reason : If a post is deleted and no one realizes it, was it ever really there?]

3/2/2003 11:55:30 PM

I concur

3/3/2003 12:56:27 AM

bartleby think of what i was discussing as not insults but insight which was very helpful in determining the legitimacy of smath74's arguement ( or lack thereof)

3/3/2003 3:50:41 AM

yeah i was having fun debating with him and suddenly my posts are gone without any notice...

3/3/2003 7:01:05 AM

that also means you lost posts to add to your post count Smath

3/3/2003 9:45:05 AM

we need more locked threads

3/3/2003 11:03:04 AM

spacechicken, the posts have been deleted, and I've supplied adequate reason for the action I took. If you truly believe it was unjustified, take it up with Jake/Joe via PM. Otherwise I consider the matter to be finished with.

3/3/2003 3:03:03 PM

this is THE WOLF WEB. people talk shit. that is part of the whole experience. we were debating music.

3/3/2003 4:01:16 PM

[Edited on March 3, 2003 at 4:06 PM. Reason : i second that]

3/3/2003 4:06:28 PM

wow this kid just lost all the respect he never had.

3/3/2003 4:35:41 PM

if you are talking about bart, you might wanna reconsider that statement...

Is it me or do some people, once they are placed in any position of "authority" start talking like they are representatives of the fucking phone company

I'm just kinda pissed that I pay for the privilege to post something just to have it deleted. I started boycotting entertainment, I don't like the idea of deleting irrelevant posts, this place is starting to look like those other pathetic forums out there...

3/3/2003 6:07:17 PM

instead of deleting irrelevant posts in classifieds, I just move them to shit chat.

Thats the home of irrelevant posts afterall.

THE THREAD ASSIMILATOR MUST BE CREATED!

p.s. keep deletin'

3/3/2003 11:58:59 PM

ok people, I think it's time to give the new moderators a little bit of slack. I mean good grief, they are new moderators, right? Maybe not new to TWW, but new at moderating, nonetheless.
Give them some time. If you have a bone to pick with a moderator, PM the moderator and ask what happened! Stop whining about it in a thread.

3/4/2003 5:35:58 PM

Some of us haven't fallen victim to the new moderators yet and don't have a specific one to complain to. Besides, if we did just privatly PM them it would keep the highers up from knowing about it.

Wait a minute, why the hell am I complaining? I have been wanting those morons to be removed from posting for ages.

3/4/2003 7:11:51 PM

Hop....there is more than one moderator per section. To PM would be to select the one you think did it. This way, all moderators can see. Either that, or PM all moderators responsible for that section.

3/4/2003 9:18:48 PM

Rather than deleting new threads and posts that people read, how about we delete the fucking 2 billion old threads and posts from 2 years ago that no body fucking reads? Maybe then we wouldn't need this shit.
