minx Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 how many people do you think have been banned lately? what do you think they've been banned for doing? strident opinions won't get you banned or even moderated, especially in spray. how much moderation do you think is going on in this forum? answer-VERY VERY VERY LITTLE. other forums definitely have tighter behaviour requirements AS THEY SHOULD! pointless vulgarity will get your post deleted. repeated offenses might get you banned. MIGHT and not by me. opening spray and having to go talk to my boss or HR becaue of something that was posted is REALLY irritating. Particulary if it was posted for shock value. Face it sprayers, you're not shocking anyone any more. IN CLOSING: SHUT UP AND QUIT WHINING ABOUT STUFF THAT ISN'T HAPPENING. GO WHINE TO YOUR IMAGINARY FRIENDS B/C THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE GETTING BANNED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj001f Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 other forums definitely have tighter behaviour requirements AS THEY SHOULD! Why? The rather loose behavior requirements of CC have made it one of the busier climbing forums around! Look at any number of the heavier moderated forums - there ain't no life there! Of course it's up to Jon & Timmy to do what they'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badvoodoo Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I think you're on to something here, MisterE. What Spray needs is a color-coded Spray Alert Level. Posted on the outside of the Spray forum, moderators must keep it up to date as conditions change moment to moment, but in the interest of avoiding offending people, they must be vague with their reasons for changing it. Here is my proposed level guide: Grey (Low) - Little is going on in Spray, probably because it's a nice day or the weekend. Aquamarine - Some light mention of politics or banning. Language is light with some swearing. Mauve - Heated but isolated debating. Past threads and banned members referred to on occasion. Regular use of offensive language and references to male and female anatomy. Chartreuse (High) - Widespread threads based on or generating long-standing personal grudges, most likely centered around banning or a devolved thread from another forum that has been relocated. Extensive swearing, personal attacks, and possible posting of porn. Remember, spray awareness is everyone's job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Remember, spray awareness is everyone's job! I am aware that I am spraying on every post. Feel free to ***you are ingoring this user*** for those that dont like what I have to say. Hey! Make a list of ***you are ingoring this user*** for your own benefits! What a simple solution for *most* complaints. It's spray. It's noted here that it is not for the faint of heart of thin skinned. FUCKING DIE MOTHER FUCKING SHITHEAD FUCKING CUM GUZZLING ASSHOLE DICKNECK spray haters. Thanks for letting RIGHT wing to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i just want the spray to go back to the way it was: when the vulgarity involved some shred of wit and the pointless debates were argued with a fervor normally reserved for a baptist minister's sunday sermon.

Dru Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 unban pope and dwayner then cause them, fw, mtn goat, j_b and mattp are the only ones with enough lack of ADD to actually write a 15 paragraph post. it's one-liners for the rest of us, quality vs quantity.

Lord_Bosco Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Lord Bosco has taken the time to review this whole issue of cc.com over-moderation and bannings which has really changed the nature of this place, a little for the better, but in my opinion, mostly for the worst. As someone pointed out, the sheer number of moderators (18+?) (perhaps also maintaining additional "avatars"), with the power to ban, edit and expunge creates an environment of camp guards monitoring inmates. Some of these "moderators" are themselves really quite poor examples, and themselves participate in the vulgarity, name-calling and other negative aspects I found the following comments interesting in a recent post by Moderator Minx: MM: "how many people do you think have been banned lately? what do you think they've been banned for doing?" LB: Nobody knows the names or numbers. Perhaps the "bannings" should be publicly announced along with an explanation so they won't appear so arbitrary, and perhaps give site-users an inkling of what's "acceptable" or not...although there seems to be a lack of consistency among the moderators. Or are the bannings arbitrary? Reasons for bannings? It keeps lots of people guessing but probably for being smartalecky and sometimes vulgar on the site or in forums where "the rules" are ambiguous and subject to a wide range of interpretations by various "moderators". MM: "strident opinions won't get you banned or even moderated, especially in spray." LB: Nonsense. At least one individual, "Dwayner", was banned for his strident views about bolting and sportclimbing. That perhaps combined with a dislike of him by one or more of the site owners/moderators. His buddy pope might, it seems, have been thrown out for similar reasons(or was he "reinstated" and then left?. MM: "How much moderation do you think is going on in this forum? answer-VERY VERY VERY LITTLE. other forums definitely have tighter behaviour requirements AS THEY SHOULD!" LB: Apparently too much as a number of people seem have given up unhappily and are leaving voluntarily. MM: "IN CLOSING: SHUT UP AND QUIT WHINING ABOUT STUFF THAT ISN'T HAPPENING. GO WHINE TO YOUR IMAGINARY FRIENDS B/C THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE GETTING banned." LB: Classy coming from a moderator! Just some observations. - Lord Bosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
