Michael Hardner Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Let me explain more for you : There have been times where you have removed my posts. Posts that were NOT reported in any way. There have been posts I have reported, only to have both you and CA say 'no biggie' and leave the posts up. Yes. We're not getting through to each other. This additional piece you have posted doesn't seem any different from the examples I posted. So to say that it needs to be reported for you to take action seems to fly in the face of your claim Sorry. You're changing the conversation: this is about us SEEING things. Taking action is a separate thing. and previous actions of removing posts without anyone reporting them. The rest of your post follows from our disconnection on all of this.

GostHacked Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 How do you know whether one of your deleted posts was reported or not? Besides, they read the topics, maybe not every post, but lots of them. If they come across a post they think should be deleted, they do so. I'm confused about why you're confused about the obvious. Because posts of mine were removed I asked Mike and he confirmed he removed them even though they were not reported. Mike sent me a message with all that information.
GostHacked Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Yes. We're not getting through to each other.

Taking action is a separate thing. and previous actions of removing posts without anyone reporting them. The rest of your post follows from our disconnection on all of this. I am not changing the conversation. This has been part of this conversation for close to 200 pages now. You made the claim that you need items to be reported for you to even see them. Which is 100% bull as you removed some of my posts when they have NOT been reported. And even when it IS reported, most of the time, no action is taken. I will ask other posters to chime on on this to confirm what I am saying. Edited June 6, 2016 by GostHacked
Michael Hardner Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 I am not changing the conversation. This has been part of this conversation for close to 200 pages now. Ok. I was talking about how to get us to see things. I'm assuming that part is clear then and moving on. You made the claim that you need items to be reported for you to even see them. No. I didn't, I said I have to SEE them. I constantly hear people saying "Why didn't you remove THIS ?" when I didn't even see it. That's what I thought we were talking about but... This conversation seems to actually boil down to you reiterating that you are not agreeing with our assessments, but what you don't understand is: that's 100% OK. Charles and I don't agree amongst each other a lot of the time either. We're all trying our best here. Thanks for posting. Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner

No. I didn't, I said I have to SEE them. I constantly hear people saying "Why didn't you remove THIS ?" when I didn't even see it. That's what I thought we were talking about but... It's very frustrating even having this conversation with you. You said that in order for things to be SEEN by you they need to be REPORTED. Which is false, and I can verify this from your own private messages to me.
Big Guy Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) What about posting "Post removed- reported by ......".? It would be interesting to see just who has appointed themselves as "censor". I am suspicious that it is those who are the worst "pitchers" become "reporters" when they are reciprocated. Hey - new point system? If you report a post that leads to a warning point then you get a warning point off your record!!!!!! And if you report something that caused a suspension then you get a free "insult wild card". We could also create a "fink of the month" award going to the one moaning and crying the most to get the most posters work off the board? Then, we could ...... Edited June 6, 2016 by Big Guy Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
Michael Hardner Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 You said that in order for things to be SEEN by you they need to be REPORTED. Which is false, and I can verify this from your own private messages to me. Yes, in order to be certain that we have seen something you have to report it. As I said: "If you report it then we will see it." I apologize for the frustration but it really follows the paradigm for pointing out things to other people in the offline world.

GostHacked Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Actually you see things and remove posts without them even being reported, which is the point I am making.

Bryan Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) And you're over-reacting to my removal of a 5-word long status update. Shady wasn't punished, wasn't given time off, wasn't given warning points. He received a polite explanation and a polite request to take it to the thread in the Arts and Culture forum. How is that an over-reaction? Polite request. OK. And if he quietly disagreed with you, and just re-posted the spoiler -- then what? Would you let that go? Edited June 6, 2016 by Bryan
BubberMiley Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Polite request. OK. And if he quietly disagreed with you, and just re-posted the spoiler -- then what? Would you let that go?This seriously concerns you? You're worried douchebags aren't completely free to deliberately ruin TV shows for people here?

bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Wow...who knew that "TV shows" were so important to some folk....especially 'Murican TV shows. I think we can say with a 95% confidence level that U.S. media in general makes the job more difficult for MLW moderators and facilitators, so pervasive it be north of the border.

Bryan Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 This seriously concerns you? You're worried douchebags aren't completely free to deliberately ruin TV shows for people here? The douchebag is the one who expects others to keep secrets for you after the show has already aired. If it REALLY mattered to you, you would have already seen it.
capricorn Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 As I understand, the mods conduct random samplings of posts, as a form of quality control so to speak. In other cases, members report posts they object to and the mods evaluate those reported posts against forum rules and other rules of internet decorum. Personally, I believe posting here is a privilege and not a right. If I cross the line in any respect I deserve and expect to be chastised. I'm OK with that.

If it REALLY mattered to you, you would have already seen it. Yeah, it's not a REALLY big deal, but he only did it to be a douchebag. The only reason for the update was to ruin it for others. It's a popular pastime among reddity-type people. "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

People who are invested in the show are watching at the same time and it ENHANCES their enjoyment of it. Some shows have even set up their own sites and apps for this express purpose.

Fine, but those are specific blogs or twitter feeds that the fan subscribes to. Putting the spoiler on the front page of a general forum is where the problem stems from. There is a section where it should have gone and given the "Warning spoiler" in the title.

There's also a thread on this forum for that where spoilers would be expected. The very reason for putting it in the status update is to be a douchebag. Removing it is just common courtesy.And speaking as someone who probably has half his posts removed by the mods for being off topic, who cares if they remove crap? It's all crap anyway.

Spoilers of all manner are on the front page of all kinds of sites every hour of the day. I don't know man, I've gotta "gulp" side with Bubber here. The spoiler was posted where it could not not be avoided. If I can't come here without seeing spoilers, I just won't bother coming here. I suspect I'm not alone, therefore I think the mods have a responsibility to their site to remove such posts. If there is a GoT thread, spoil away!

kimmy Posted June 7, 2016 Report Posted June 7, 2016 Hey, Bryan, next time a big movie comes out, why don't you go watch the early show, then on your way out of the theatre, shout key plot twists at people who are lined up to watch the late show. "HEY EVERYBODY! KYLO REN IS HAN'S SON! HE MURDERS HAN!" And later on, after you've received the ass-kicking you desperately need, perhaps you'll have a broader perspective on the issue. -k (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

It's no surprise it devolved with a title like that. Honestly, what did the mods expect? i actually didn't find it that offensive and the last few pages weren't that bad. I found it one of the most interesting threads I paid attention to. I guess that tells a lot about me I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.
