Read this and keep your jokes to yourself. Apparently, the thought police arrived on a.org. For real.


Then, maybe, you could ask them why the first thing they did was to appoint a moderator that has zero connections with the Amiga community and apparently no idea about moderating a forum? A moderator that wreaks havoc to this site in a way that makes DFX's or Mikey_C's moderating styles look somewhat sane? Why is this guy here, and why is he so out of control?

I'll tell you what kind of answers you'll get: "We missed that", "it was a honest mistake", "we're still learning". There's only so many times you can use this excuse until it's no longer credible, you know.

(Disclaimer: Yes, Kjmann, I'm talking about you. I'm disagreeing with your moderation decisions in public. Learn to deal with it. And I assure you, I have tons of very dark thoughts regarding Amigakit, A-EON and you.)
I see that the name of this site is AMIGA dot org!
Not the "dark thoughts" site.

If you want a different site. Put your money where your mouth is and set up your own site.

Thanks for the link: amiga news dot de, I never saw it, till now. What about it?
Here's what I read from that site....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Netiquette


    Be fair, stay authentic (true to yourself), tell others your opinion, but try not to hurt anybody with your words and keep others from taking benefit from the interactive area.

    Please consider that you are personally responsible for the contents of your contribution."



Purpose of the Netiquette

The amiga-news.de editorial staff developed this netiquette to create an environment where as many readers as possible can express their opinion about the relative subject in an uncomplicated and respectful manner, without personal attacks, the spreading of illegal contents or any other nuisance disturbing this environment. This way as many users as possible read the articles and also may create their own contents.

To achieve this goal amiga-news.de puts its faith in the users, who will help actively through their attitude and manner to sustain this environment, and avoid the abuse of the offered liberties, e.g. anonymous access to the comments.

Guidelines

Articles posted in the interactive area of amiga-news.de (forum, comments etc.) will have to stick to the following rules. They will

    respect fellow users and treat them as if they were sitting next to oneself.
    not have sexist, racist, anti-Semitic or neo-Naziistic contents.
    not insult or flame anybody.
    not contain defamation.
    add something sensible or entertaining to the discussion, may it be a question, an answer or an opinion about the subject.
    stick to the subject and not be off topic. In the comments section the subject is given by the contents of the announcement or article. The subject of forum posts is given by the corresponding board (e.g. programming) and the first post to a thread.
    not spread lies or disregard this netiquette.
    not support software pirating or other illegal actions.
    use German or English language, as we would be unable to verify the content otherwise.
    not contain advertising. This also implies that employees of companies will sign their post by their own name and not by the company's name to avoid surreptitious advertising.
    Links to auctions (eBay and so on) are not welcome and will be deleted without delay.


Editorial staff censorship

If the rules of the netiquette get violoated, amiga-news.de editorial staff reserves the right to delete articles partly or completely.

Amiga-news.de editorial staff considers the netiquette not as strict rules but as fundamental rules, that are designed to keep up a communication friendly environment and not to examine each and every article for violations of the netiquette.

Instead, amiga-news.de editorial staff hopes that everybody respects the netiquette and that users do not take occasional violations of the rules as a reason to violate the netiquette themselves and thus avoid additional abusive articles in the interactive section.

Amiga-news.de editorial staff tries, through it's granted possibilities, to avoid the abuse of the offered possibilities and that users, who do respect the netiquette, are not swamped out of the interactive sections by those who do not.

Comments section

Comments section is available for reading and posting without registration, additionally it is possible to login if you have created an account in our forums. Registered users will be marked as such.

If you think that a posting violates our posting guidelines you may notify the staff about this particular message by invoking the "Notify staff about this message" button. A moderator will check the posting and remove it if neccessary.

    Constructive criticism
    Relevant feedback
    Hints to errors in the announcement or article
    Complementary information concerning the article or announcement

Never ceases to amaze. We don't all know what you know.

you may have heard of aminet an amiga-news.de cg and senex are maintaining? its not a site just some twenty people are visiting but an esential attribute to whole amiga community, the biggest repository of amiga and its derivates software, no matter if it is mos, aros or os4..

Doesn't excuse "dark thoughts"
 or rudeness like "get used to it"

of course I've heard of Aminet....never heard of amiga news

I think the mods should stop the rudeness.
I like Amiga, I help Amiga people keep Amigas going.

That had been obvious. ;-) I hope you don't resent me for the previous comment, but given that Christoph indeed has been putting his money (and way more time) into an own website, the suggestion was just too funny to resist, sorry.



As you've read meanwhile, Christoph is the only moderator left at Aminet (thank you, number6, for the impressive link) and co-owner of amiga-news.de.

amiga-news.de used to be the most-visited amiga news-site once, according to Christian Kemp (ANN.lu), followed by Amiga.org and ANN back then. Just that our english forum, unfortunately, isn't used that often, to put it mildly. ;-)



Sure, but without sufficient inducement for a concerted action (like the exodus to AWN back then), any new forum will stay without users and thus useless. There are many examples online, see our own one mentioned above. Sure, it's old and thus not as comfortable as today's installed-in-5-minutes forum software packages, but here "the cat bites its own tail" (a German saying): without demand for a modernized english forum at amiga-news.de, there is little incentive for the amiga-news.de team to invest even more of their spare time to establish such an "update".
It's also obvious I don't know the man. But I thank him for his service with Aminet.
I refer amiga folks to use it every month. I own the entire cd set.

But, "very dark thoughts" and "get used to it" feel like threats, Too scary for me!

I also don't know you and your post could have been more informative...
but I got the "SCNR" so no resentments.

If Christoph has these knowledge and his "net rules" seen reasonable, why did he say those things?
