Rules already exist for this site, unfortunately a select few continue to ignore them.
It has NOTHING to do with being butt hurt, at least not from my perspective.
It is just pretty annoying to keep seeing posts removed which at times makes the subsequent replies confusing and meaningless.
Just my opinion....

Can't argue with you there mapman! |
@ebm
Not really sure what you are trying to say here, rules will never happen??
We live in a world governed by rules for better or worse, without them you descend into anarchy.
Now if you meant rules will never happen on here, well they are not "my" rules at all.
I am only suggesting a possible update to the rules that already exist here.
Nothing more, nothing less.
And .....sooner or later change is inevitable just like time. To think no changes may ever occur here on these forums is a little outdated.

@jmcgrogan2
No I do not condone censorship and I am not conflicted...I think..lol.
Moderation is what I am referring to, maybe more layers but not censorship at all.
I am trying to get across the principle that self censorship or moderation is the key element here. In other words it really needs to start with poster, not rely on a mod to clean up their act which in certain cases is too late as we cannot expect them to be watching 24/7 and reacting to every post.
Of course there is always the viewpoint that ANY moderation is censorship |
@geoffkait
And I would prefer to see that fixed where it starts, having the poster just not do it at all! Rather than waiting for mods to remove which is then too late for some who will have gone off on a tangent already!
And that may be achieved by member timeout possibility...or it might make zero difference at all
Who knows...
As they say...common sense is the least common of all senses |
Oops my bad
Somebody did mention censorship but it is not something I was reaching for or condone
|
@geoffkait
Exactly, well put.
NOBODY ,certainly not myself ever mentioned censorship as part of this deal.
But maybe a further layer of moderation would not go amiss.
@stereo5
Do you not think it would be better to not HAVE to skip over the derogatory posts? Would it not be better to just get to the meat without so much extraneous fat and gristle?
Again, just my thoughts.... |
@georgehifi
Quite an admirable sentiment, however as they remain faceless we do not know whether any actually are?
@jmcgrogan2
I also believe they are doing a fine job...up to the point I have brought up of course.
As to an OP self moderating....nice thought but sure it would go too far the other way as most OP are severely biased towards their own thread...lol. Now as far as I am aware the OP can delete their own thread at any time, all posts included.
I still think that heading off the silly and irrelevant posts at the pass would be the better way...but of course...I am biased........ |
Absolutely....😱
Watch the attack of the mad axe man |
Let me try another way to explain my view.
What defines civilised society?
Following rules and regulations.
You may not agree with them but you follow them and are fully aware there could be potential fallout if you do not eventually.
Why should an online forum be considered any different?
We can all make our points and views known without succumbing to name calling and open hostility.
Maybe I am being naive but I guess that’s a result of my mother’s upbringing and one which I am sincerely proud of.
If you do not see it this way or agree I completely understand, modern times have modern morals which possibly just go against my grain.
If the mods see fit to close this thread so be it. |
@cleeds
Yes of course we can report posts but surely it would be better if there were far fewer posts to report?
That is my point,I know we all can't play nicely in the same sandbox at times but no call for outright hostility.
@stereo5
Yes if that is what it takes .......
|
Of course I cannot know that for sure , maybe a mod will actually chime in and explain.
But from what I have seen so far, certain members would be LONG gone, and they are not, so at this stage it is my assumption only, nothing more, nothing less. |
