I'd like to see -MODERATED-...
Again.
-moderated-
At least AW.net is keeping their threads to a minimum.
If these means banning anyone who doesn't support C=USA then no, we don't.
I think when we have certain members demanding the banning of someone and then threads appear to see if the site can do it without upsetting the regulars then we have an issue.
It is nice to see how C=USA has managed to rip this site in wto with the help of a few drones.
At least AW.net is keeping their threads to a minimum.
Still, I suppose C=USA and their minions would love to drive away the non-supporters...
Let me put this another way, if Franko goes then I go.
Edit - Added C=USA comment to my signature to see if Franko really want to address every comment.
Nah... you need to change your sig there's nothing secret about it... :D
Changed.
Hah! Active moderation at work!
Good. Now send me my warning.
Everyone was warned in the post right below yours.
Now what about personal attacks? How can we eliminate those without cat calls of favoritism?

As the above comment is totally off topic then why haven't you moderated it yourself and given yourself a "1st informal warning" as it's clearly off topic from the topic of this thread... ;)
Doomy may have won an award as "Most Modded Ever"

In person.
But I would like to see the insults and personal attacks come to an end.
Shame... as he seems to be quite rational for a loony over on his YouTube Channel... :)
That would be nice. Sadly, some people are very polarized over this CUSA issue.
Quoth Monty Python "You're a loony!":roflmao:

Yup... I've been certified in the past and I'm pretty sure it will happen again sometime in the very near future... :)
If most people in this world consider themselves sane, then that may be the only valid way to be. 'Cus someone around here's nuts.
@ Plaz
There are still some left here on the forum and having read them and the stuff he posts on YouTube and other places these days I think he's either mellowed out a wee bit or on medication to keep him calm... :)
The only thing that worries me is that you're actually seeking them out. ;)
What's up, looking to out doom the Doomy?
Plaz
I am really slow. I just figured out what this all about Franko. You've just decided you can't stand that green bar of activity to ever drop below 100%. :)
Plaz
though there is an old portuguese saying "you can't claim a dubious penalty unless you pretend to be fouled."
Nah... it's only ever at 99% these days, Iggy post's more than me that's why he's got the little medal beside his name you only get that when you achieve a 100% posting rate... (the bugger)... :)
I've just got a faster computer than you Franko.
Darrin
Say what you will but the best player and the best coach in the world are both from Portugal (ronaldo and mourinho)
Actually if you follow my post history
Never had one post on moobuny..
Would you like to see the TOS more strictly enforced as in the past?
This whole 'banish CUSA' thing is silly. Even the idea of 'banish CUSA off the front page' is silly. If CUSA is not 'Amiga' enough, then neither it s OS4. The original Commodore didn't make it, and never made anything for the PPC. So, MorphOS is out too. The MiniMig is certainly not a 68000, and RetroReplay isn't a real Amiga. Nor is Natami. We can banish Amithalon as no different than CUSA, since it was just Linux on an x86 with emulation and some integration. And we can't forget to banish UAE. We could give AROS a pass, but only for the 68000 as that is the only version that runs on an actual Amiga.
By the time you banish everything that wasn't produced by or for the one true commodore, you have very little left.
Amiga.org is in the unfortunate situation that it has a few members who go out of their way to troll the board and insult other members. The moderators don't want to be over zealous, so those individuals get worse. It isn't hard to figure out who are doing it just to be disruptive, and who isn't. The worst offenders periodically will openly brag about how good they are at causing problems on the board.
That would be nice. Sadly, some people are very polarized over this CUSA issue.
The TOS have never been oppressively enforced on this site, that's why we are here.
There are bunch of "New Users" who don't get that A.org is about users more than some lump of plastic and metal... We all have a common interest and that's brought us together, but we stay for the social!
Well then remove the problem that is fancy cased overpriced Linux based PCs as news on an AMIGA forum ;)
My PSP runs UAE....should we have announcements about PSP 2 or PSP phone on here too? :roflmao:

What's a "New User"? :confused:
I just got a medal! Iggy you can suck on this CENSORED!
You Bugger... I've been posting like a madman all night to try and get that... it's a fix, a fix I tell you... HEY MAW... Kesa's nicked Iggy's medal that I've been trying to nick all night... :cry:
It's because my activity bar is 100% but yours is only 99.
Notice how i deliberately did not put a % after your number therefore making me look big and you smaller.
Anyone in particular in mind... :)Actually no, I'm just making a point that we have a lot of new members of the past couple of years and only now has the moderation of this site become an "issue"...

Really, we all have different views and opinions, and as long as we express these using civil, reasoned arguments, any debate can be fun.
I purchased a copy of XCode 4 last week and I'm really enjoying it.I've found Xcode4 to be a pain in the wotsit... But only because I'm so used to xcode3... I do like Interface Builder integration... And I'm sure I will see some LLMV benefits in time :)
no....but PSP UAE would be fine! forum/Amiga Emulation
Hell, you could have threads about the PSP in some of the coffee house forums.

But not in the official news announcement section then? ;)
What are these bars for anyway? and why does your title say banned? should I even be speaking to an outlaw? ;)
I hate to say this, it could get me flamed, but as someone in the "Don't Support C=USA" category, I'm ashamed of the behavior of many of those in that same category.
This has gotten sad, very very sad...

If you are not an iOS or Mac Developer Program member, you can purchase Xcode 4 from the Mac App Store.I just shelled out the £2.99 for it. Perhaps I'll not hate it as much as XCode 3.2.
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.

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

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...
Oi... don't blame me cos he's toddled of the deep end... :(
Was it me ?
I will.
Despite my asking nicely, more than once to desist, you went out of your way to goad him, implying he's been "bought off" by CUSA etc. All based on the evidence of various emails you claimed to have received but, I might add, failed to produce any evidence of and then acted as if he was in the wrong for reacting negatively to this criticism.
If you think I'm sticking up for him because he's an oldboy pal, you're wrong. If you think I'm defending him because he's been here a long time, you're wrong. If you're thinking he cried for help, you're wrong.
If you think I'm peeved because someone old enough to know better behaved like a complete tool for half the evening, then you are getting warm.
I thought we were all a bit more grown up than that. Imagine my disappointment.
:bitch:
So my question is.. at the moment,what separates amiga.org from moobunny?
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.

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 don't know if this forum should be child friendly, i'd probably say not.
As an old timer like me you know Wayne always been intended to be family friendly. Whether it should or not is not my call but would be the current owner's call. I guess some of the newer members and "new to the interweb" members don't know this and do not appreciate the heritage. Some seem downright shocked a TOS exists and anyone would want to enforce it.
Right now the poll shows about 3/4 favoring stepped up moderation and almost 1/2 want strict enforcement of the TOS. Strangely only 3 people think polls are stupid:lol:
I don't really care what Wayne thinks any more, his lasts set of posts had him acting just like the people who need moderating.
You do realise that Wayne is no longer in charge, right? If he's become a bit more "free" with his opinion, that's to be expected: since selling up, he doesn't have to try and please everybody anymore.
Sure I know it, I watched Jens flounce off when no one would tell him who the new owner was :)
I just found Reds comment amusing: wayne wanted a family friendly site, and some of the newer members don't get it...and Wayne's one of the guys spouting! You couldn't make it up ;)

Anyway, i'm all for a bit more moderating. It won't need to be hands on forever, once everyone get's 'smacked with the hairy side' a few times, they will know what's allowable and what isn't...which means you'll have a sore arse franko :)
So we can be adult, but not specifically child friendly, which should be good enough.
You misunderstood my point completely. Oh well...
What about if your 14 year old was studying sociology and/or psychology? :lol:
I am against enforcing the TOS strictly around here. What's the matter with you people!? This is an Amiga forum and we should not really care about the Atari TOS. :P

oh, darn! I wanted to add tags about socks! :roflmao:
i may overlook that... Especially if there are gratuitous sock references to be had in said threads ;)done!
I liked it better when this site actually talked about the Amiga.
Shut the mother %rt45rtrtrt up. Now see what you've done. You said the Kill word. Right lads tea break over, back on your heads ;O)
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

This is all an AmigaWorld.net conspiracy to drive more users away from A.org!!!!
Get this aw.net guys, you didn't beat us then and you won't beat us now!!!
The answer is in the source! :rtfm:
Lol... I'm just teasing but it does feel like 2003 all over again... The Aw.net guys must be laughing at the state of A.org right right now:roflmao:
You could always turn yourself in, like in "A Scanner Darkly" :lol:
And you've only just noticed... ;)
Yup... I've been certified in the past and I'm pretty sure it will happen again sometime in the very near future... :)
Hmm lets see... yup I was right, log off wait a few minutes then Red issues me with two infractions, soooo predictable.... :roflmao:
Infraction number 1 = Insulted other members
Infraction number 2 = Insulted other members
Moi... insult someone... never... you aint seen nuthin yet if you think those were insults... ;)
Going to log off again now and wait for the ban... gawd this is pathetic... :rolleyes:
Love how he wishes you all the best at the end, nice touch that... :roflmao:
The Aw.net guys must be laughing at the state of A.org right right now

Ironically, a cursory glance at the site seems to suggest they're all taking it a lot more calmly than people here.

Moderated myself. I'm awful. Just plain awful. :lol:
Hi,
@Darrin,
I have one question?
What is a wto?
smerf
Moderated myself. I'm awful. Just plain awful. :lol:
I moderate myself by not slinging shit in the first place, pretty simple solution if you ask me :idea:
J'accuse! You used rough language.
Keep that shit to yourself.
I'll have you know that stands for Tramiel Operating System!
This might well be the only thing you and I will agree on now.
You will never have a chance to "MODERATE" me again. Since it seems that any thing we say will be considered a "personal attack", and nobody is talking Amiga anymore - I guess I'm gone.
You might have very empty room to MODERATE soon.

YES! All this profanity sucks :( Most people don't like to read that trash talking rubbish, and people who do should find a nice trash talking forum.
Freedom of speech doesn't have to apply to privately owned forums. Same goes for homes: Sure, you have freedom of speech, but don't expect me to allow you to say everything you want in my home.
This is NOT the streets.
This is a public website where you don't need to register to read posts, even more public than the streets in a way.
I think people tend to become rascals (or juvenile) when you police/moderate them, on the other hand, if they are responsible for what they post without getting banned or have their posts edited they are on their own, and there's no moderator around to save them when arguments don't hold water.
I'd point you to moobunny to evaluate that theory ;)Just checked it, and that's certainly not what Amiga.org needs.

I can point you to my site (http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?name=Forums&file=index), where 271340 registered users get along just fine (most of the time).
Open up an Amiga section and see how long that lasts! ;)
I wouldn't worry Thorham all this CUSA stuff will end soon enough and the site will get back to being a place for great advice and fun once again... :)

One problem, that is not an "Amiga" community site.
Only Sweeney I've seen is Sweeney Todd.
