Title: news moderation
Post by: tokai on June 13, 2004, 10:27:30 AM
Hello,

I submitted 3 days ago a news item which was also approved:

Quote

Hello tokai,

Your submitted story "CPU Monitor 1.3 (MorphOS)" has been approved at Amiga.org.

You can view this link here:
http://www.amiga.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=4123

...


when I checked one day later it was removed without notice. I send a pm to wayne for some clarification. I didn't got a reply until now.

I submitted the news again. It wasn't approved until now, but some other news was approved in the meanwhile so I can expect that my news will not show up.



Is there something wrong with my news? Or are MorphOS releated news are generally not allowed anymore on Amiga.org? No problem, then I will ignore a.org and post my news only on other sites, but it would be nice to let the user know at least.

regards,
tokai

Calm down calm down :-)

I think this is the first time ever that this site has been accused of being "anti MorphOS" :-P

The news item is currently in the list awaiting approval, but as I don't (ever) usually do news item approvals I'm not going to start (screwing them up?) now.

As for the disappearing news item, I'm looking into it.

@mikeymike:

thx. for looking into it.



and I didn't said it's anti-morphos, but it could be that where are reasons for not 'advertising' MorphOS. These days you nerver know what's happening behind the scenes. :-)

tokai

Aw, quit yer cryin' already...

Don't you have some apps to code, PNG icons to draw, cool websites to put up or something?!

Jeez, the nerve of some people...

BTW, before you get your testicles knotted, this is Cyber2th from IRC, and I'm only kidding. :)

Cheers, matey. ;)

So it did get published and then it was removed?

I sure like to see the outcome of this. I am sure it is a simple thing. Right?

before someone understands this wrong (on IRC someone already did): I meant there could be (legal) reasons why MorphOS news can't be allowed anymore on a.org (I'm refering to the problems ann.lu had with links to morphzone.org and morphos-news.de). It wasn't meant aggressive towards amiga.org. Sorry if someone has interpreted it that way.

I noticed some other news items disappearing over the weekend.  Maybe someone has a cached page.

That's bull when that's the case. This is just a news item about a program being done for MorphOS. It's not company related.

C'mon you not. You posted a news item, it got posted and then it is gone again.

So nobody has been able to figure this out? What happend? I don't want to be a pain in the ass but this really needs to be cleared of. If there is a simple reason even that should have been brought here right away. This kind of thing is not helping much.

Hi,

People, people! This is taking to long. This is a serious thing and if you just don't want to give an answer then tell that.

This stinks!

I'd like to know what happened.

How many times must we state "we do not know" before you will be satisfied?  I know it's not the definitive answer you want, but it's all we can offer.

Post it again.  If it appears again, we'll approve it.  If it disappears again, I don't know what to tell you, or anyone else.  Maybe someone got access to an account they shouldn't have?  Maybe someone hates tokai?  Maybe it was a simple mistake?  Maybe the site needs to be rebuilt as I've proposed?  

Dunno.  Don't really and truly care.  With all respect to Tokai, there are simply more important things going on right now than a flipping MorphOS story disappearing from the front page of an Amiga support site.

No.  What doesn't help is this type incessant whining and thinly-veiled accusations.  Here's your explanation.  {bleep} happens.

That you like to call me a whiner I already knew from a previous post.

You attitude is not helping you much Wayne. I know you get a lot of {bleep} over you all the time but I thought you knew better when questions like that come from me. Your driving people away from this site. You make less fun to come here and post. You should be better at taking critisism then this.

I am not getting upset or take something like this a bit to much but I am about to do just that.

Have fun with your site Wayne!

@wayne:

Your statement makes me very sad.

This actually makes me a lot more sad than your amiga.org retirement statement end of last year. When I read your info that amiga.org will go offline on 1st January I was really shoked, because that had meant that probably a lot persons would finally leaved the amiga market (considering that amiga.org is one of the pillars which still helps to let the amiga market breath). That statement has ruined New Year for a lot persons including me. And we all who knew about it were very happy and thankful when we realized a week after NewYear that amiga.org still was alive and you changed your decision. Amiga is for us all (no matter of red, blue, black or whatever camp we're part of) a bit more than just a hobby.

And now you just tell me that you really and truly do not care?  

Wayne, that really hurts!


Besides that it hurts, you don't really want to tell me that when someone else might use a hacked account, mabye one of your news moderators uses his administration powers for a own agenda or something is wrong with the system... that is no reason for care?

Wayne, with all respect I can't believe that.
