Proposed rule change
I would like to propose a rule change. If an admin is involved in posting in a thread they are not allowed to use their admin powers to delete posts, issue warnings or lock threads. This would help stop the situations where an admin who loses an argument can abuse their powers to remove the posts they personally disagree with.

CreaMD, by making the rule change public it helps to reinforce the message to mods and posters alike. Which is a good thing.
You seem to have an idea of a recent mod mistake that might be the one I'm thinking of. I'm glad you appear to agree that the posts should not have been deleted. But they have not yet been restored. Is there a reason why not? |

I would like to propose the following suggestion:
Why not a show-down of the mod's vs. the aniti-mods.
Get a large round table and spread dry crackers all over it. Then whip out your slongs and whomever jizz off last looses and must eat the crackers and has to step down / stop whining according to their standing...
+1 for locking this thread.
and also get sterilized and stop dying... Worse then Falcon Crest at times... |

Martin.
What I said was "He should have clicked the evil "censor" button on the posts starting by yours, and fill in the reason "off topic".".
Which means: he should have deleted them without commenting on them. |

Quote: Quoting Martin PiperPublic or private isn't an argument against the proposed change per se.
From my site it is as you can not expect one running a private site the way you want to have it. You can do proposals but than again if the changes wont happen you have to live with it.
It is a public site that accepts donations. I've donated quite a large chunk of cash in the past. If the site never took a donation you might have a point. But as I said public or private is not relevant to the point.
Now do you have a valid argument against the proposed change? |

So because groepy doesn't like some of us had something new to say, nobody else gets to see it either. ROFL It was a perfectly valid line of discussion, using a rle list to draw spans. The fact a machine that does that was used as an example has got nothing to do with it and wasn't "name dropping" as groepaz called it. |

They were not off topic. So that would be the wrong action to take. |

Martin. Moderator evaluates, decides, deletes, gives a reason for deletion. That is how it works. What new rule are going to propose? That moderators should vote on every "deletion"?
And as far as your posts in that thread are concerned. Be so kind and don't start the whole debate again. It's pointless.
You don't seem to understand how moderation works.

Christ you guys can be condescending. I think everyone knows how moderation works, the problem is when someone is supposed to be modding AND gets involved in or even starts arguments. |

we know EXACTLY how moderation works and therefore know this isnt it.
you can't objectively moderate on thread you are involved in. PERIOD. |
