Why TBN isn't as enjoyable anymore

[5030]

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

It's Chishti.

I fat fingered it, sorry. Being 70 I do that sometimes...

Unlike most, I don't get butt hurt either........

How does one KNOW anything?

No, I'd really like to understand that post. You feel or you know that your posts are being scanned by a particular party?

Thanks Moss for responding to my question and giving us some insight on your duties. Why anyone would want to do that is a mystery to me but thanks for doing it.
I left TNT after it was apparent that some booted from FP were up to their old tricks over there but I've been informed that 2 of the crew were kicked off recently. If true that will help that sight grow and be enjoyable again. So for those who tried it and left, try it again as I will.

Muhammad tries with his limited time and deserves our adult personalities to rise above the crass talk from some.

I think a fair majority of people on the forum bear a level of responsibility, I am quite sure I do.

Even some of my favorite posters have :stirthepot: on more than an occasion.

Mohammad is not going to cut off his nose to spite his face, his choice of "10" incidents tell us that.

His site is an awesome site, but it is nothing without people populating it creating "hits".

I am not sure what the answer is, I know I strive to do better, but then there is the "post police" that try to control everything, or the "self righteous" who thinks their poop dont stink. Or the incessant poster who has been on the site for a year and has more posts than 50% of us who have been here decades.

It truly amazes me as I read through the postings, how many people have commented and see "other" people violations, and how the "other" people may be on Moss's list but never even consider, they may be on said list!

I don't have a list. However, several usernames now appear in my auto text when I'm typing, so that tells you something.

Then you should have stated such. Your subtle attempt at using a conversational abbreviation in a present perfect situation sure sounded and read like a question.

So perhaps, since I am not familiar with your style, I read you wrong.

See how that works. DOH!

What I'm supposed to adapt my prose because of your comprehension problem?...I don't think so...! (don't bother answering)
Perhaps a remedial adult English class is what you need...a good indicator of a question being asked is the presence of a "?" at the end of the query...!

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.

Editing the original post wouldn't be a big deal, its when its quoted 5 or 10 times (and then those replies are quoted) that it becomes unfeasible.

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.

For the last couple years, only Muhammad was the only allowed to moderate the Politics forum (other than spam or someone posting something that was blatantly illegal).

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.

But that would be logical and logic is bad.

Well, my little thread didn't quite make it to a quarter million views but it did have over 6000 posts. I was sorry to see it go, but I suspected in the last couple of days that it might go down the tubes and it did. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did. Didn't make 1 year either. Oh well.

Well we had the frozen drain plug that was quite entertaining.
So be creative come up with say frozen U-joint on a cutter...... I'm sure we can push it to the edge of the forum hill and watch it gain speed on the way down....lol........
Enjoy your week.....:thumbsup: :drink:

Well, when you have an individual who responds to your posts VERY often and when he puts in many of his quotes "REPORTED" it does not take a rocket scientist to KNOW what is happening
