Why TBN isn't as enjoyable anymore

[riptides]

Editing posts to remove violating content isn't that difficult or time consuming (if done more in real time) and it would send as much of a message as anything else. Again, there are only five Mods that are at all active and they seem to be busy with other things, so not able to devote much time here. When threads are more active than the Mods, things can snowball quickly and become too much to shovel. Some of us that have more time could volunteer (and have) to take some of the load to nip things in the bud.

Eh? Violating Content...Time consuming? I think your on the wrong end of the spectrum. You have to constantly fish for posts to peruse and then apply context to them. Sounds like a job for AI. Or some filtering software with better keyword manglement.

Fixed it for you. People need to spell his name correctly or just refer to him as 'Mr. Christi'. I'd not want to have my name misspelled, I don't believe he does either............

Yes, everyone should spell his name correctly, including you. He may even take offence the way you spelled his last name.

It's Chishti.

Reported posts go into a queue and all Mods are alerted and have access to that. If a Mod is online and gets the alert, the post can be edited or deleted almost immediately. If no Mod is online and a number of people start reporting things, the queue can build up as Moss said.and be much harder to weed through.

Filtering is also built into the platform software so offending words or phrases are replaced with **** automatically. The word censor file is probably limited to Admins though.

It must have been a typo, I generally spell it correctly

But honestly I really doubt he is that vain about his name being spelled correctly that needs to have a poster publicly shamed so as to cause more derision on the site.

That is the stuff that starts the ball rolling that HE is trying to stop

Once again, its ALL of us causing issues!

Shamed for a common typo? C'mon, I agree that it's all of us in turn, hardly just you, friend.

Too many 'balls rolling' over thin skin & causing hurt feelings? I've been on both sides of that! .. You?

btw, if *** was ***** then maybe the ******** would feel a lot better about ***** like me. (Guess one filter is working. :laughing

That's reported. I don't report, and yet a vast majority on the Political forum was in violation. Perhaps the moderators just looked the other way.

I say - Follow the Rules. Don't post derogatory content or personally attack others. You don't follow those rules, you get a strike. And it's with you...forever.
10 strikes and your out.

Good luck I say, finding the happy medium.

Not really, you want someone to bugger your legal name on a publicly viewed forum? I don't, don't think you do either. Has to do with respect and respect is sadly lacking in today's society.

You really need to curb the expletives. You can communicate just as well without them...................I think.
