And almost certainly totally made up.

I'm stsarting to agree with you about this poster.... some of the stuff simply lacks all logic and sense... it's getting into WWWTT territory of craziness...

What about election based avatars is illogical or senseless? The only illogical thing I've see him write is about tearing up citizenship of overseas fighters.

I sure hope so, but frankly I am not so sure.

In light of robocalls being largely a few people with a penchance for advancement, who can really discount other scummy actions done by underlings.

Until we have a balanced representation of men vs women it is a real struggle to debate issues. I have not been given a good reason why we can't add sub categories attracting female members. It's all about SEO. Please tell me why we are not encouraging female members to this political forum. Is it because the founding member is not up to speed on SEO or perhaps there is another reason because quite frankly I am left in the dark as to the decisions about my requests.

And I won't give up until I get a satisfactory response. Don't we need legitimate members to counteract the trolls?

Why not create a topic? Ask that women only comment. Why is this an issue? If women do not want to take part how are you planning on forcing them?

Do I need to explain SEO 101?

It's not about women not wanting to take part. It's about women even finding this forum. I found out about this forum through a male friend. I don't know what else to say about this issue. I have given up.

I guess I have given up.

Nobody here even remotely understands why you're asking for this or why it might be a good idea and it doesn't matter how many different ways you explain it because they don't want to understand.

Thank you cyber. It's very difficult for women to hang in there and ask for their rights. We often give up because of the brick walls we come up against. We come up against these walls in our everyday work life so we shouldn't expect less in I the cyber world.

My only request on this forum is that the existing female members become acquainted with SEO

I vote that we have a gender only topic.

Men in there room and women in the other.

Than we can decide which ethnic people can create their own threads.

How have we denied you your rights?

[Big Guy]

To The_Squid - You are probably correct.

But - if during the next few months before the federal election, Rue and BC2004 came out strongly in favor of the Conservatives, how many votes would that guarantee the Liberals and NDP?

See, it would work!

You have missed my point about SEO. It's not about women vs men. It's about women finding this forum.

[Ash74]

We all found it.

[WestCoastRunner]

How did you find it. Seriously?

How about 'women in politics' Or is that too specific

If that's too specific to women than you guys are on your own.

[cybercoma]

Can you guys add the ability to edit thread titles?

[Michael Hardner]

Cyber seems to think it's a good idea and I also think so.

[Charles Anthony]

Can you guys add the ability to edit thread titles?

You can do it through the Full Editor feature.

Click edit the Opening Post and that should open the Quick editor by default. Click on the Use Full Editor option under the text box. From there, you will be able to edit your topic title.

Do I need to explain SEO 101?

No but it would help if you state explicitly what actions you need/want us guys to take. What changes do you want? You have yet to state exactly what you want us to do. I do not understand it anymore.

If you want changes that optimize search engine recognition of "women in politics" here at MLW then perhaps every time there is a post that is related to "women in politics" you could report it to us and we could add a "women in politics" tag to it. It would be extra work but we could do it. Is that the sort of action you want us to take? If so, you can start doing that now and we will add those tags.

If that's too specific to women than you guys are on your own.

No, we are not. There already are women who participate in the forum and there always were.

Until you state your request in the form of an actionable directive or a clear order, you are on our own.

HINT: "Make fire!" and "Bring food!" and "Mow the lawn!" and "Take out the trash!" are clear orders.

Whereas none of these are actionable directives: "I am cold..." and "Are you hungry?" and "Maybe we need to re-do the landscaping...hmmm..." and "Something is starting to stink in here!"

So women are only interested in politics if it concerns other women? With a narrow point of view like that perhaps it's best if there aren't more women posting here, this forum is easily found if looking for a Canadian politics forum.

That's not what she said.
