Return to a more strict TOS enforcement?

[TheBilgeRat]

I'd like to see -MODERATED-...


Again.

[TheBilgeRat]

So this thread has turned into a -MODERATED- mess as well.

[TheBilgeRat]

Dealing with Troublesome Users        Can I block posts, emails and messages from specific users?
  If there are particular members that bother you and you do not want  to see their posts or receive Private Messages and Emails from them,  then you can add these members to your 'Ignore List'. There are several  ways to do this:
  Through your User Control Panel: User CP, Settings & Options, Edit Ignore List.  Then, type their name into the empty text box and click 'Okay'.
  What if I see something offensive?
  You will find 'Report' links in many places throughout the board.  These links allow you to alert the board staff to anything which you  find to be offensive, objectionable or illegal.

redrumloa, you need to calm down.  this is hardly moderator behavior.  You modded two of my posts as personal attacks and claimed to have "warned me."  Enough, man.  You are acting just as bad as Franko.  You need to take a break for a bit.

[TheBilgeRat]

Oi... don't blame me cos he's toddled of the deep end...

Well, the big difference between you going off on rants and tangents is that you don't have the power to moderate other users posts.

When a mod starts slinging mud and tagging his posts with personal attacks while moderating others "personal attacks", its time for that mod to take a break.

At this point I could give two fecal matters if CUSA stays or goes, red vs blue, or any of the other stupidity that passes for rants on this sites.  I originally came here like a lot of us "newcomers" did - because we feel a personal connection to a (now defunct) brand of silicon.  I voted moobunny on this poll because this poll honestly has nothing to do with its stated purpose.

[TheBilgeRat]

I added no tags.
 
I warned early in the thread the TOS would be enforced yet you broke the TOS. If you feel I overstepped, please file a complaint with Transition/Pyromania.

Please provide a link to the TOS, as I can't seem to find one on the main page.

EDIT:  although it seems you did remove a tag.

EDIT x2:  I wear big undies.  I have never had a beef with you until now.  I do feel you have overstepped, or at the very best are trying to prove some point that has nothing to do with enforcement of the TOS.  I am suggesting as one person to another that you chill out, remember you were given the mod power for your trustworthiness, not to use against people you think are attacking you personally.  Especially when they aren't.

People who think it's funny to add stupid tags to threads should stop to consider that although it's not displayed to users at large, all moderators can very easily who added them.

That tag was not added by any of the moderators. The guy who added it knows who he is. And so do I, now...

My apologies, then, redrumloa, for thinking it was you who added that tag.

I have a picture for that....

Have I ever told you about the barnacle?

[TheBilgeRat]

One more thought to add.... as CUSA rolls out it's 64 and later it's Amiga, chances are the average age of the crowd interested in visiting here is going to drop, perhaps dramatically. Though we have some younger users here now, my perception is that the majority of frequent poster are older duddies like me and the tone is set according.

A.org needs to think about how the forums play in the future. Will it stay the gruffer version where I can learn about barnacle appendages and how the apply to computer thread topics (which I though was funny actually), or will it try to smooth out the rough edges for new visitors?

At this point if my 14 year old who's interested in science and computers wanted to research Amiga info and history at Amiga.org, I'd seriously consider putting it on the restricted list based on the recent activity. Food for thought.

Plaz

What about if your 14 year old was studying sociology and/or psychology? :lol:

But seriously, you bring up good points, although for the life of me I can't see anyone coming to this site via CUSA that isn't already an old fuddy-duddy.  The truth is that these pedantic arguments we have over "teh real Amiguh" only matter to us old enough to actually remember what a real amiga is.

[TheBilgeRat]

So whats the difference between thios site and moombunny
 
Seriously though they are not even similar.  This is site is generalyl moderated to a correct level.  No anon posting .
 
Its a masasive over reaction to compare  this site to moombunny.
 
But do we really want to get so moderated  so hard that everyone leaves like a certain other Amiga site I could mention

I would say we're more like regretsy than moobunny.

[TheBilgeRat]

I'll have you know that stands for Tramiel Operating System!
 
/me waits to be moderated for being OT.

You could always turn yourself in, like in "A Scanner Darkly" :lol:
