scott_harpell Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Your 'football' is flat anyways... see ya! Quote
badvoodoo Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Damn, do you guys work nights? This place was dead all evening last night, now you're flaming every 20 minutes... Quote
jon Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) I just got back from lunch, as much as I didn't want to do it I thought about all of this, because it got my mind off of work. Anyways a bunch of people here think that banning people suck, and I would whole hardedly agree, but in the spirit of being Seattle everyone does a good job complaining about something/everything but never offers a well described alternative or solution. In the 4 years we have run the board I don't think we have had more than a handful of suggestions, and most of them came from people who would eventually become moderators. So in an effort to be more proactive I'm going to invite everyone to send Tim and I an email to tell us what you like and don't like about the website, what your thoughts about banning and moderation are, as well as anything else your little hearts desire to talk about. Please provide possible solutions to things you see wrong. For now you can send them to (climb) @ cascadeclimbers DAT com (not sure why I do this, I don't thinks it's humanly possible to get more spam) and in the subject put "Suggestion Box", and after I read everything I will show selected bits and pieces to the moderators, try to respond to reoccuring things publically, and we might even respond to you privately. From now on complaints will be handled in this manner and not on the board, and while complaining in public is a lot of run, it accomplishes absolutely nothing. If I get more than 5 responses I will shit my pants and post the pictures for you to see. Edited September 28, 2004 by jon Quote
Bug Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Wait! You haven't banned Scott_harpell and Greg_W yet! Is that a valid suggestion? Quote
Bug Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 How about notifying a rule violater that they are on probation and only get 2 or 3 or 4 posts a day that will be subject to edits and deletions? This gives them a chance to present their side in an "acceptable" way while at the same time encourages them to think it over carefully before wasting a post. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Wait! You haven't banned Scott_harpell and Greg_W yet! Is that a valid suggestion? BAN THEM NOW! Quote
fleblebleb Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 How about letting us vote each other's post quotas down? Woo-hoo-hoo, quota wars! Quote
fleblebleb Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Ban that guy Schuldt, he uses too many CAPITALS. Quote
Bug Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Fairweather too! Or give him one three word post a week. Quote
Dru Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 BAN ME BEFORE I SPRAY AGAIN!!!!1 oops sorry. OK for reals now. I think moderators should be the users with the highest post counts. At the moment this would be: Dru Iain [Cpt Caveman would be here if not banned] Greg_W catbirdseat muffy DFA One could hardly imagine a more diverse group than that. Quote
Bug Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 ...and then there were 3. Check again. Can you still post? Quote
scott_harpell Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Wait! You haven't banned Scott_harpell and Greg_W yet! Is that a valid suggestion? Fairweather 2+1=? Quote
scott_harpell Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I hope you are not counting ice_girl... she is in sprayer heaven as well. Quote
catbirdseat Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Trask says (in so many words) that he disapproves of the why in which minx has been "over-moderating". Quote
tomtom Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 ... but in the spirit of being Seattle everyone does a good job complaining about something/everything but never offers a well described alternative or solution.

Bug Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Wait! You haven't banned Scott_harpell and Greg_W yet! Is that a valid suggestion? Fairweather 2+1=? Dang! I thought that once all the conservatives were exposed they would be eliminated. Maybe tonight? Quote
minx Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Trask says (in so many words) that he disapproves of the why in which minx has been "over-moderating". cbs- please send trask my undying affection and then asking him what moderation i've been doing? i haven't banned anybody(not that i don't support it) and in the last month i've deleted precisely one post.

catbirdseat Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I guess he must be referring to posts in the capacity as moderator rather than what you do "behind the scenes". Quote
snoboy Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I hope you are not counting ice_girl... she is in sprayer heaven as well. huh?? how did she reply to my PM last night then??? Quote
ryland_moore Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Minx I thought you were leaving? "You think she's gone? She's never gone!........SEE!!!" (taken and fenagled from What ABout Bob?) Quote
ryland_moore Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 The REAL skinny: Direct quotes from a moderator (nameless) to Bone: Emailed to me by one of the Moderators: "I think you should have been banned during your hate spree a week or two ago. Probably lots of mods agreed with that. It just took a catalyst (Caveman spewing threats) for anyone to actually push the button. Consider it a delayed response." "If it was up to me (if it was my website) you would have been banned earlier. Caveman was not the reason you were banned. I think the sentiment was there already. Caveman's outburst just ended your holiday." Apparently I was banned because Caveman threatened people...go figure... Bone This is total BS. I wish I know who wrote this and then I'd like to confront them at the Rope Up this coming weekend. Not in Gottermurung way, but a justification is definatley required with these comments. Quote
