I walk my cat on a leash.
When it stops raining, she is headed to McKinney Falls.
Mr. Hundrup... I know what your post said, and I agree with it.
I merely used it as an example of "where I was getting this 'delete' stuff from," since rrrAdam seemed to have a problem understand the basic gist of this entire thread.
Sorry for the confusion.

I agree about not deleting Cody. Let me share something with you that I posted in the Moderators & Editors Forum a couple months ago. Tell me if you agree...
Quote:
Attn, all Mods...
Posted: 2002-08-14 01:34
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's try to show a little patience and leeway with our users. Let's not get too picky, and try to cut our users a bit of slack.
There are several threads being locked or moved to Archives that could have remained "as is".
Not so hardfast guidelines:
Redundant thread... if original was recent, reply with link to original, then lock. If not, let it go. The search function is down, so we can't ask them to manually search each page prior to posting. There are almost 100 shoe threads on this site, and more will come.
Profanity, vulgarity, or flame in any Forum other than Community... This needs descretion, please use it. A little is OK, a little. If more than a little, PM the user politely, then prune the thread by deleting. We're not nazis. If it gets out of hand, move to Community if there is a good topic that went astray, or Archives if it's just trash.
Excessive profanity, vulgarity or offensive posts or replies in any Forum, including Community, PM author, politely, then delete/prune as needed.
Let's remember that the new users are the ones who need the most Moderating, and they don't know any better. We need to train them to post accordingly. If we beat them over the head, we'll just lose them. We were all new at sometime, and I for one posted many in the wrong Forums when I arrived. I needed to be trained.
If you have any questions, please PM me or nikegirl, as she is the most tactfull here. I have learned a lot from her, and still bounce things off of her before I act.
Or you can just post your question here. We should all be consistant and on the same page.
Our jobs will all get much easier when we switch to the new Forums (phBB2).
You all are doing a good job, and I'm putting you all in for a raise.
Thanx,
~Adam

Honestly...
I disagree with locking duplicate threads.
I disagree with deleting most threads.
I even think that a hidden,locked forum would be a great repository for the too obscene threads. Then, the site could make money selling a bathroom book entitiled "So you want to flame rc.com..."
I think that moving threads and pruning out pornography is cool.
Other than that, let people talk.
Oh, and don't try to "train" new users. Move threads if you must, but don't think everyone who joins is as stupid as you... most people will lurk for a bit toget a feel of what's right. If they don't, you can generally tell.
Switch to the phpbb2. It rocks.
Other than that, good post. Looks like you were trying to cover your ass while that doosh character pushed your modability to the limit...
He was wonderful.
I think that covers it, except for this: I never attacked your stance on deleteing stuff. To a point, I agree with it. I have spent a few years on various messageboards, and I have seen all levels of moderation. I feel that an online community should feel comfortable to it's members, and based on my own experience, I have a pretty well thought out philosophy on what makes people invest themselves in a group of peeps they only interact with over the computer. Key word: INTERACT.
I didn't attack you about your stance on deleting, I attacked the fact that you asked "why are y'all discussing deleting, Trevor doesn't like deleting." Regardless of the head honcho (I reserve The Boss for Mr. Springsteen and a belgian friend of mine...) opinion on banning, that subject has been discussed for 7 or 8 pages here. The fact that you cannot see that enough troubles me. the fact that you can't see that and choose to ask why we are talking about hte thread topic troubles me more.
And the kicker is, when I told you WHY the point wasn't moot, you responded not by agreeing that deleting was worth addressing... you responded as if I had ATTACKED your stance on the subject.
I like a lively discussion as much as the next guy, but I wish that you would at least try to maintain some shred of coherency through your contentions.
I feel mired enough trying to explain to everyone who asks me to "compromise" my deep-seated philosophy that I feel this way within myself based on my experience, and their vision of a utopic forum is just THEIR vision and a little selfish and they shouldn't impose their vision of trained noobs on other people...
I feel mired enough in that matter to want to deal with your wildly divergent inanity.
I feel like being really condecending right now, but I will spare you the "if you can't run with the big dogs" post. I'd just really appreciate it if you could internalize what I say enough to compare and contrast it to your own philosophy and note the difference on your own. I would also appreciate if you don't take everything I say as a personal attack.
I think I am overt enough about THAT already.
Jesus I type fast.

Cody,
I didn't take anything you said as an attack on me, please reread my above post, as I don't see how you think I posted as a rebutle to an attack.
I posted that to show my stance, as it appears to be very similar to what you have been saying for 7 or 8 pages. Well, less the "attacks on me" in those 7 or 8 pages.

Just curious.. This site have "rules"? and where can they be found?? (i assume there is something other then the FAQ page. If thoses are the rules, i see mod's breaking them (ie. profanity) all the time. Good for the goose...

rrrAdam... you posted this:
Quote:I posted that to show my stance, as it appears to be very similar to what you have been saying for 7 or 8 pages.
You are "shoeing your stance" or whatever,
The fact of the matter is, that stance does not agree with what I have been saying post after post.
So, WONDERFUL.. you want to SHOW YOUR STANCE.
Why not, instead of asking ME what I think of YOUR STANCE, just post your stance and demonstrate how it is either similar or different from MY stance, which I have posted numerous times to this thread.
Suer you posted what you think... you copied something old and asked me what I think.
I think (pay attention) that you could read my posts, discern my poisition and then either disagree or agree and post reasons why.
Instead, I have to deal now with you getting uppity because our "stances" kinda match and that was the point you are trying to make.
Whooopee for you, man... you kinda agree with me.
If that is truly the case, you could write: I AGREE WITH HEADCRAK, HE IS A SMART BASTARD.
Instead of: Headcrak, here is a post from many months ago, do you agree with it ?
Any idiot with half a brain can figure out where I stand on this issue, as I have said it AT LEAST a few times.
my main point was: while we kinda agree on shit, our viewpoints differ signifigantly.
Since you can't see that, or choose not to address it, I will assume you concede those points to me.
Thanks... I agree now with not only rrrAdum, but jhundrup. Where does that leave me ?
Above all your petty bullshit.
goodnight.

Rock on rrrAdam.
Why can you not understand the reason for having moderators in the first place, headcrak?

Like I say.
(jesus f---ing f--- s--- dumbass bullshit OMFG.)
Moderators should move threads, prune porn and work for the overall good of the entire community...
They should not work towards creating the perfect forum by forcing people to post topics in the manner they choose or training people to post how they want.
My viewpoint is adequately expressed in many posts... why can you not see that, chuffwit?

Oh well, in referrence to the above quote...
I AGREE WITH HEADCRACK, HE IS A SMART BASTARD !!!
It's apparent that you only wish to split hairs with me and attack me regardless of what I say, as evidenced in all your replies to me. So I think it's prudent for me to remove my end of the fuel for the fire, as you and I cannot hold a reasonable and logical debate, as we seem to TROLL each other... And that is counter productive.

You didn't say the same thing I said.
The post you quoted of yourself says something TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
You are looking for corrolation where it doesn't exist.
And I already explained how our two viewpoints don't match up, I am not going to do it again because you are a drooling idiot.
I also explained why I thought it was stupid that you questioned the subject we've been discussing for 9 pages. Since you didn't refute that, I will assume you concede it.
That plus the fact that you agree with me makes me slightly happy.
Which is the first time in our interaction I can say that about you. Thanks, dickhead.
