fern Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 as a TR forum moderator I aim for something like #3. But I try to take into account things like the humour level of the original TR and whether the solid beta there is still going to be useful in 5 yrs, or it's only of short term use. One one level this is a circus and on another we are collectively building a huge database of climbing info that would ideally be searchable and usable by anyone without having to shovel through a deep layer of junk posts. other mods may have slightly different ideas about where the fuzzy lines are. we are all pretty much on the same page about spray that degenerates into insults, or TR responses that are discouraging to the continued posting of TRs of any route - hardcore or beginner - by any user, 40 000 posts or 1.

Dechristo Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 On one level, this is a circus and, on another, we are collectively building a huge database of climbing info that would ideally be searchable and usable by anyone without having to shovel through a deep layer of junk posts. It appears the posts of congratulation and encouragement are an acceptable form of spray in TR threads. Though, there are few who do not enjoy this positive form of spray, it is this type of post in TR threads that creates the greatest volume of non-"climbing info" that must be waded through to find subsequent posts of related information. Â Perhaps a stock photo should be posted to inform that further messages of congratulation should be sent as PMs. Â Â The previous message is intended as appendage-in-cheek and should be received in like manner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I hate your post and you are clogging up cc.com I could have made the post in 1/8th the time. Not only that, but I would have passed you Eurostyle and then made it back in time to take your girlfriend out on a date in Leavenworth and then did karaoke with her and then cuddled. Â In short, I rule, you drool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dechristo Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks, Oly. Â It was a tough route and I'm pretty sure it was an FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I climbed that back in the 70s, but we did it in much better style than you did. We left a Queen of Hearts on the summit in a dime bag (they were much bigger back then). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Crosspost from elsewhere: Â "I also think that if people were honest about their experiences and emotions, quite a few of the TR's here would read quite a bit differently. There's clearly an editing process that goes on in people's heads in order to ensure that they don't expose too much of themselves and leave themselves vulnerable. That's certainly understandable, but I really think it's a shame, as the experiences that people have are way more interesting, varied, and genuine than the subtle-chestbeat-with-just-a-touch-of-faux-modesty-and-self-referential-irony that's emerged as the default tone for any TR here."
