On Guard for Thee Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hats off to the moderators for finally taking my advise! Sex subject heading is the way to go. Looks like my prediction about this forum going belly up by 2016 was off! Never thought the moderators here would ever do it WWWTT Yeah, ha ha, and free advice is worth what you pay for it. But ya kno if I want to see a porn sight Im sure I could find one. Do we really need another one here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Unhuh, but this wasn't a back door way of equating me with someone who has been condemned by almost everyone for his anti homosexual law? Equating ? I'm not sure if I was seen as saying your views are equal to those of the governor, but I'm trying to put context and perspective on what it means to question equal rights. This is what I explained in my posts above. Look, you seemed to take issue with being "called out" for questioning "founding ideals". This is what I was responding to. You seem to be taking offense, so let me point out that I have no idea what your personal views are on this but that anybody who posts views that are far from the mainstream can expect to be called out. That's all. The Governor of Indiana experienced the same response, and that's why I brought him up. i don't want to be called a bigot for disagreeing with any aspect of someones interpretation of feminism. Well, you may indeed be called sexist if you state that, for example, women are inferior. Nobody would be shocked if someone affixed that label to you. So facilitator, go back, parse my posts, and find any serous post I've made that is anti gay, good luck, or maybe you could just apologize for making that connection, as you knew damn well what you were doing. I apologize heartily if anybody inferred that I was calling you a racist, or a sexist. What I was doing is explaining that nobody gets a free pass to post whatever they want, while getting their feelings protected lest they be offended.

WestCoastRunner Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) What bothers me a lot and I'm not sure why we can't see members who are private Why is it such a secret to be able to view and contribute to threads but members can't see who they are. Seems highly a pecking order syndrome and provides superiority feelings to certain members. Can someone explain the advantages to this ridiculous perk.

We have members that can contribute to threads but we don't know they are signed in or viewing. They are invisible. They don't have to show up at the bottom of members signed in.

They don't have to show up at the bottom of members signed in.So basically bc can be signed in all day and contribute but we have no idea he is lurking.I just think that adding more transparency for when members can become invisible and why that is a necessity and what are the benefits to the member and to the forum at large? It seems like a multi layer membership to me and I'd like to know the advantages to this if I were to continue posting to this forum?

Ive done it many times. So what?

No one has benefits beyond anyone else perhaps MH does but he is a semi-Mod. Edited April 20, 2015 by Guyser2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true guyser. I'm not a fool.There are certain members that do not show up on the list of members posting even if they are actively posting. I want to know the rules to achieve that attainment. Edited April 20, 2015 by WestCoastRunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyser Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 That's not true guyser. I'm not a fool.Im not so sure about that. Please tell us how they do that when it is abundantly clear one has to sign in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front page may only show who logged in last, it may not show ALL who are logged in. A better understanding of how a website works would be beneficial for you.

I have worked in the IT industry for a very long time. Check out the status of bc and others. They are private members. You never see them at the bottom of the page. I can't believe you haven't noticed this before. Oh well.Let's dispel this and have our moderators add feedback. I will take their feedback for the truth.

bush_cheney2004 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think these 'private' features are only available to American males...who vote conservative. After all, it is an American forum engine hosted in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek 2.0 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Why can't I see them logged in? Are they special? Log out, then when you go to log back in, there's a box you can check to sign in anonymously..........be forewarned though, once you attempt this, you're transformed into a Conservative WASP middle aged male......

BC lurks, trolls as he always does, and he can start updates that stop certain people from posting to. The mods here are rather one sided as has been pointed out any times before . But I think most of us, Shady excluded, have BC,s number and deal accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, posting anonymously is available to any poster I believe. Log out and try it. There are no technical advantages to long time posters here, just moderators and demi mods.
