egghead Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Sry, I am a new user. Can someone please kindly explain to me the topics merge rules or the logic behind it. This topic " Ilhan Omar campaign strategist's wife claims Omar is having an affair with her husband" has been merged with "The road to 2020" (2020 United States presidential election). Then, this 3 topics "Snopes is Utter Crap/Kamala Harris is Likely Descended from Slave Owners" and "Bernie Sanders, at 77, Just Learning the Basics - Socialism is an Epic Failure", and "The Squad Trip To Israel Cancelled" have their own threads. In addition, I lost my reply as well. TIA Edited August 30, 2019 by egghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Anthony Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I made a judgement call. Your reply was not lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I find Charles Anthony to be the best moderator I've ever encountered on the internet, even when I think he's being excessive, it's still good moderating in relation to most moderated forums.

So? Can you kindly enough to explain this one please. I don't know, IMO, it is odd that you need to pull up someone history to justify his current act.

I defer to his judgement, frankly, I think his intuition is better than mine when it comes to moderation. If he sanctions me, I just acknowledge and move on, there's an endless number of threads, none of them are precious per se. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) All moderation is arbitrary, it's like being a Ref in hockey, it's a judgement call and the players usually gripe about it, but the Refs just have to move on. I don't like video review, let the Refs call the game, even when I curse them. What I don't like is if there is ideological bias and/or favoritism, but again, in my estimation, Charles Anthony makes a good faith effort to call the plays without trying to decide the outcome of the game. Which is all you can really ask from the Refs in the end. Edited August 30, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, by not making a correct call, Refs already affects the outcome of the game. Edited August 30, 2019 by egghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a board administrator, he's like the director of referees, it's his job to regulate Charles Anthony, I just jump over the boards and play my shift, it's not my place to tell the Refs how to suck eggs. Moreover, as I've seen what moderating is like on the internet in general, so if I was board admin, I would think Charles Anthony was elite, so I wouldn't fire him.

I just wants the two topics unmerged Unless they are firing Charles Anthony, they pretty much have to defer to his judgement as well, it's unlikely that being the moderator of this forum is well compensated. If Charles Anthony decides he's got better things to do, I'd bet we'd get stuck with a real dickhead as the new moderator, so I don't look a gift horse in the mouth, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Anthony Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 SHORT VERSION: Write a better Opening Post next time that clearly defines and limits the discussion you wish to provoke. If you think my intervention is unfair, send Greg, Admin and Owner, a message and ask him to order me to reverse the merger. 3 hours ago, egghead said: It did lost. I am not lying. My reply was "it seems that she uses "some people did something" describe 9/11, not illegal parking" , and it was gone after you megred the topic. Your reply is here: 19 hours ago, egghead said: I think she is safe. First of all, she religiously married Ahmed Hirsi in 2002. Then, she married Ahmed Nur both religiously and legally after she had a religious divorce. In 2011, Omar and Elmi divorced religiously, but remained married legally. In 2012, Omar and Hirsi reconciled (no stoning here) and had a third child. In 2017, Omar legally divorced Elmi, and the following year, she legally married Hirsi. Now, I don't believe that guy is muslim. So, she only commits adultery legally, not religiously. with the note "Edited 5 hours ago by egghead" at the bottom.

Ask anybody you know in real life to read your opening post Ilhan Omar campaign strategist's wife claims Omar is having an affair with her husband and tell you what that has to do with United States of America Politics [Discuss various political issues affecting the United States] and let us know how that works out.

Dougie93 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 So there you go, that's what the Refs in the NHL do, if a player is really squawking, they come over and give you a quick explanation, as a courtesy. All is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news was on nbcnews' politics-news section, Washingtion Examniner's news, inquistir's US politics section. nypost's news section, Huffpost's politics section, national reivew's POLITICS & POLICY section .... If that is the case, you need to merge all other threads (I mentioned) to that thread. C'mon, if you want users not making dems look moralless, just say so.

GostHacked Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeah can someone tell us why these two VERY DIFFERENT TOPICS were merged? This causes a LOT load of confusion for me and Egghead who were both wondering what the hell happened to the thread. It happened, we know it happened, we need an explanation as to WHY and now we need both threads separated again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon give me a break, did you think I would act without fact checked as you or are you thinking people are stupid? look at the time stamp. I went through 3 pages to assure that the reply was gone, and I reposted the reply (I omitted "not illegal parking" so that I knew that it was a repost). As, I said before, it is not a big deal. Just own it. P.S. you can go over the backend db or traffic log, it should show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
