Amiga.org and Bias

[System]

If Amiga.org will be consistent with regard to these guidelines (mods themselves includes) this would IMO mean an enormous improvement.

:-)

However often when someone supports Amiga companies at AO they are being ridiculed by others and called names like BAFs. Or even when people bring up AmigaWorld.net positively they are being attacked for being some kind of traitor or being treated with disrespect.

The preference towards a certain platform or company does not make someone a troll, but it's the behaviour of these trolling individuals.

Tolerance and respect for eachother are IMO the pillars for a strong Amiga community. I hope AO will fairly enforce these guidelines.

IMO highly exagerated. However if anyone has a serious gripe about being ridiculed, please contact a moderator and it will be dealt with.

I know what happened in the past directed against directed me personally, Fleecy Moss and lots of other Amiga supporting people. A large group of people seem to feel like this. IMO it's better take their opinions seriously.

I still remember it when you personally started a witchhunt against me, stating that I would lead some kind of conspiracy effort. Your comments at the time were quite heated, disrespectful and insulting towards me.

This is very, very true. Please takes these words to heart at aw.net. IMO it is needed there.

We do. We are very transparent and open with regards to our moderations. Nearly always sharing the reasons for why a comment was moderated.

I would suggest you take the same approach at aw.net.

Everyone is being wellcomed at AmigaWorld.net, including MOS fans (if they can accept that the website is not focussed at MOS). AmigaWorld.net staff is not negative towards this platform itself or its users. People are judged on their actions, not on their preferences.

Sure. However badmouthing AO for the sake of badmouthing AO is bad form and borderline trolling. I really do not appreciate that.

That's not what I am trying to do. I know there are many people unhappy with the way AO has been run of late. I am only sharing my views as IMO they are founded and AO could benefit from discussing these views.

I want both AmigaWorld.net and Amiga.org to prosper. I honestly want the Amiga.org portal to offer a constructive environment to its users. Most people returning to the Amiga community will likely  first see Amiga.com and soon afterwards the Amiga.org website (with thousand of webpages linking to AO). All the fighting is IMO not in the best interest of the Amiga community.

What should a new AmigaOS4 interested individual think when he goes to an Amiga community portal and sees Amiga supporters being ridiculed? I believe many newbies would expect something like this to happen at a MorphOS website, but at an Amiga community portal?

I didn't start anything Mike, you know how the history went.

It was an example. At the time you stated those were your personal opinions, but they were really far too hostile towards me.

If you stand open for discussion I would gladly clear things up with regard to the past, as there never was any sort of conspiracy on my part. I'll send you an e-mail.  :-)
