Moderation in Moderation

Recommended Posts

I wish I could pin this in moderation forum :(

 

But I will have to put it here.

 

I have received my final warning from another chat site and am about to be banned if ;

 

I tell another obscure joke, post a poem, or a picture or a link to a picture. or if I debate or question anyone else's opinion.

 

(How the hell do I tell what is obscure to someone ... you guys seem to get my jokes and puns straight away ... and sometimes trump them . :)

 

Also they said if I FEEL this is too harsh I will get a 2 week suspension.

 

I mean ... WTF ... I can change my behaviour to comply with restrictive and dictatorial censorship but to be told I have to FEEL a certain way about it I get a 2 week suspension ! :blink:

 

Also no notification is given there within the posts , and no talking to a mod about a decision.

 

WOW! Also they have banned me from answering posts in details and putting up evidence to show why I might think something is incorrect .

 

I am putting this up to (well, okay, bitch, but also to) applaud the liberal way the mods run this site and the intelligent effort they put into it.

 

(and the way they seem to handle my honesty)

 

The other site (and the mods ) are not that intelligent ( perhaps due to banning of intellectual approaches and evidence based criticism ... I mean even my warning from the Mod is badly written and partially incomprehensible)

 

Coming here I feel like I have come from North Korea to Australia.

 

Thanks guys its a pleasure to be here.

 

I know sometimes your mod approach might be hard and take some time and work

 

but it has made this place a great site ... and a place I can actually LEARN things from and INCREASE my development and widen my outlook by coming here ... so thanks to all concerned for that too

(and they got really crappy old software where you cant post an image or a vid or have a post / edit control box .... :P )

Hehehe. I was a member of a forum and, most here know how I express myself according to conditions. Well, I was warned twice for suggesting a naughty word. In my world, two strikes and you are out. I got my two strikes and left the forum. (I wouldn't give them the pleasure of suspending me for suggesting a naughty word.)

You registered in sept 2013. That's the reason why you feel this way. A short time before, it was like North Korea here, I was a mod :).

Hehehe. Came to my mind what it was like here before there was any moderation except for Sean now and then.

yessss ... if you dig back far enough in the archives, you'll find discussions that would result in mass bans today. But the site was much smaller then, and there was a lot of "competition" out there, most of which was strictly moderated as I recall.

But even back then Sean would get tired of the insults and especially the threats of physical violence and would ban a member in a heart-beat.

HOW many times have i gotten in trouble here in TTB...? :lol:

Funny. I haven't been keeping track.

 

It's nothing, im sure. What is the value of staying in a community you are not allowed to express yourself in?

Exactly. I do live by that. Not only on the internet but in my real life as well. We need to be able to express ourself as honestly as possible.

It was medieval China in my time. And we nearly banned Sean.

There was some early insanity. One of the founders went by the handle Ron Jeremy, was quite the practitioner of crazy wisdom and that cut both ways. When he'd get angry he'd lash out IN FULL CAPS RAGE swearing and posting pornographic pictures at the object of his scorn. Good guy normally, but without restraint when angry.

 

Bad begets worse and creates multiple flame wars. These days they're put out very quickly. Maybe too quickly. But the site has thrived. The mods and administrator are always looking for the right level and its not easy. Its a hard volunteer job done with love, patience, humor and exasperation.

We actually used to be able to start threads in The Pit if we knew they would end up there anyhow within a few posts.

 

Now we have to be either naughty or go waaay off topic to get moved there.

(the other one, if you talk about a moderator decision - 'not allowed' , if you complained about it in a post - suspended )

 

See .... thats what I like about this site. Here even the Mods can take or give a joke.

 

Like the above joke .... even a bad joke ...

 

even a bad and really insensitive joke :glare:

Would you prefer two weeks of suspenders?

 

 

I always wanted to do 2 weeks work experience as an underwear fitter and designer ;

'Thee' reminded me .... one of the things I got into trouble for (and banned from posting anymore poems) was this.

 

Said hamlet to Ophelia

I will draw a sketch of thee

what sort of pencil shall I use

2B ... or not 2B ?

"You are banned from posting anymore poetry ! "
