Amiga.org safety?

[AMIBY]

This is NOT personal attack. After getting that clear I want to talk about something that happened last night.
I was On-Line in an Amiga related forum when someone logged in and wrote that Doomy was using another nick under Amiga.org. He wrote that DoctorQ was Doomy and how he hustled people. I do not know if this is true or not, but it made me think. Since users can open all the accounts they want - we saw that a few weeks ago - And, with the last few attacks on this site where people had been called names and what not, should there not be a moderator available from overseas who could handle the site when Wayne and others are sleeping? With the time zone, when it is 5am here in East Coast US, it is 10am in England.

Or maybe let a couple of trust worthy users in here be allowed to lock threads?

Just a thought.
I probably should had posted this somewhere else, than Amiga General Chat or send it to Wayne, but, well, here it is.

This should be fun.

OK the games up doctorq!! Where's that Picasso IX graphics card and the copy of OS8 that you said was in the post?

[x56h34]

doctorq is most certainly NOT Doomy.

doctorq = DoomMaster :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thats priceless!!! :roflmao: :roflmao:

[Akira]

DoomMaster

That certainly brings back memories

moderator available from overseas

Hey! that's an excellent idea! :-)

I'm volonteer for the job :-)

This is probably the biggest Amiga site, makes sense to have at least one european moderator.

What's the point? If a person is so sensitive that a personal attack on a web board is going to "harm them" then they should stay off of web boards IMHO. I can't imagine having anyone read through ALL the posts every day and filter them. That would just be crazy.

If someone finds something offensive, they should report it to the powers that be and they can lock the thread or delete the post as they feel fit. If it bothers that person that much, the solution is simple... don't read it! I think people take things WAY to seriously. This is a great message board, but that's all it is. I really don't care if someone from God knows where flames me on here. I stop reading if it bothers me that much.

Easy solution.

*raises hand*

I'll do it.  I'm here every frickin' day. At work, at home, weekends, vacations... :-)

@Amiby

Which forum, and, I think we DO have already some Europey type moderators here.

"I have thought it over and I have decided to make peace with Amiga Org. To be honest, I have always admired Amiga Org and it is my favorite Amiga forum.

So, to Wayne and to all of the Amiga Org Moderaters, I am sorry for any problems that I have caused in the past. If you would take me back, I promise to behave myself, to not be a troll, and to at least try to be a valuable member of your forum.

Because, I am the Site Administrator of this forum, I can now see what Wayne and his Moderators have to put up with. I get spammers and trolls every day ! So, now I know what not to do.

DoctorQ? Doomy? I think not, not even close. DoctorQ is an old timer, look at his join date. I also think you will find he is on the other side of the world from Doomy.

I must have missed anything you guys are talking about about forum fighting. We do have multiple Euro moderators, afaik only Wayne can appoint new ones if needed.

[doctorq]

Sorry, I simply can't be bothered defending myself, every time one sad little person can't get it like he wants, and then digs up an old thread that started everything, thinking it is valid information.

Here is my ebay feedback, here is my feedback from the Danish auction site QXL.

@AMIBY

I'm still waiting for you to PM me the link with the info that started all this, or post it here in the thread.

I actually volunteered for this some time ago (I'm in England), but didn't receive a response. So I can only assume they do not think it is necessary.

Um, you did read those recent posts didn't you?
