amigamad: I think you've been told to simmer down..please do so.

Wayne is doing a EXCELLENT job with this site. After the A1 is out, software is out, I see this site growing to a huge # of users. And yes, the other mods are doing excellent as well. I havent seen a mod step out of bounds but this is a great way for Wayne to dictate work to the rest of us that way he doesnt spend all day monitoring kids throwing hissy fits when they dont like something.

If it were not for moderators, you'd have users taking over a forum and turning it into a trashy site that nobody will ever want to visit.

What do you mean simmer down all i posted was the results of the ip address someone claims someone using my amiga.org nickname has used on ann i just posted the results of the scan to prove it is not me as i dont want people to think its me making the  comments .

your all doing a good job there was nothing ofensive rude or any personal attacks just trying to clear up the fact .

with the morph os users and amigaone users the site will be massive  :-? the amount of new users each day proves that.

I first ran into the moderation in the thread about the Ben Hermans interview, and I think it's great.  I especially liked it when only parts of a post were deleted (like one maked "personal attack"), the rest of the post was worth reading so the partial moderation was better than nuking the entire post.

It's funny that it's the known trolls that are complaining the loudest (hi Paul_Gadd!), everyone else seems to welcome the idea.

Wayne, this is a Good Thing (tm).  Just make sure you have reasonably neutral moderators (and enforce giving a reason for every time a comment is changed), and it should improve this site a lot (you have to admit, it was getting pretty polarized lately).

A moderator's own values and ideals should be exercised in the common good.  "Neutral" or otherwise

you have to admit, it was getting pretty polarized lately).

To admit that, I would have to believe that this is a situation where there are really two different sides.  

In the end, if you put away all the BS surrounding the legally questionable activities of Amiga Inc management, you would probably understand that we are one big crowd and we all want the same thing.  A new, fast, fun-to-use machine based on the principles of the classic Amiga platform.  Whatever "color" you believe that makes you should not matter in the slightest.  I'm fairly sure that most of you aren't racists.  Why are you all acting like "computists"?  Our little world is really just varying shades of purple.  There is no black, no white, no red, no blue..  Just computers.

Judge a platform on it's merits.  Judge people on their actions (not their words).  Whatever you want is cool by me, but just realize the bigger picture please?

ust make sure you have reasonably neutral moderators

Will Chaotic Neutral do?      :-D

@Wayne:

Sorry, but you just have to look at the "Alan's reply to Bill" thread to see that there *are* two sides.  The saddest part of it is that the arguments are 100% ideological (either Bill is right or Alan is right, "just because").  There are a few ppl left who still try to use their brains (SlimJim comes to mind), but most are quite comfortable sitting in their battlements.

I used to be what some would call a BAF, mostly because I believe in the Friedens and the rest of the Hyperion crew.  Now I'm just disillusioned with the whole sad situation; I would be surprised if the amiga "community" hasn't torn itself apart by this time next year.  I don't care who's fault it is - I doubt it matters by now.

Yeah right a troll for stating an opinion, maybe you are a yes sir person but not everyone is like that.

[CodeSmith]

Ah, freedom of speech - the troll's only claim to legitimacy.
