MissHarlet -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:02:34 PM)

Ok  Im gonna look uninformed here but what the hell ... why are some posts " awaiting approval"  and some not ?? and why are they always " awaiting approval" for some posters and not others ?

They're on moderation.  Some longer than others.  Their posts won't show until the Mod approves them.



MissHarlet -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:07:11 PM)

thanks ... makes a bit more sense now ....



laurell3 -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:07:46 PM)

You're welcome.



kittinSol -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:08:50 PM)

Oh boy...

"Awaiting approval" means there is a period of latency during the moment a moderated member posts and the moment they're 'published' during which the moderators review their posts and deem them worthy or unworthy of 'publication'.




MissHarlet -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:12:32 PM)

 


thank you also ... I suppose because of prior disapproved posts ? or unheeded slaps on the wrists ?

And I warned you I was going to sound uninformed .. I was !!!

Not a problem, really... Rumours fly about this... I never really encountered the facts (has anyone?), but it seems as though it takes three strikes, and you're out on the moderation limb.

No, there have been new people that come here and post INSANE things and get put on Mod right away that I've seen.  I do think usually for the regular posters you get a few warnings from what I have heard.



NorthernGent -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:28:18 PM)

I never felt Mod11's visits to my door were anything more than an attempt to keep discussions civil. It never entered my head that they were anything to do with politics; perhaps there's an element of the persecution complex in the OP. Good to see you've seen the light, Firmhand, and you're on the straight and narrow. And, that ain't a flame; it's more an arm around the shoulder of a old sparring partner and a quiet word in his ear, "it's only a forum, you see".

Miss Harlet; perhaps this thread will clear things up a bit more...

....You might not agree with how things are handled around here... I might not agree with everything, but I'd be hard pressed to make the intimation that we are given no respect.


And how exactly would you know that unless you were privy to every word ever written by the mods?


lol... And how would Sanity know, either?

My point was that Sanity's comment that "we should be treated with at least some respect" made it sound as if we get no respect whatsoever.  I disagree.  The very few times I've heard from Mod XI, she has been very polite and respectful.  To the point, perhaps, and in a tone that brooks no argument... but respectful nonetheless.



Alumbrado -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:38:13 PM)

Someone who has been on the receiving end of something is in a better position to know if there has been any, than someone who has seen none, and claims that therefor there has never been any.



Sanity -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 2:48:55 PM)

I said that's not always the case, KY. You're changing the meaning of what I wrote.

It's obvious that it isn't always the case either, when she refers to everyone posting in a given thread as children, and what Alumbrado keeps trying to tell you is accurate.

At the end of the day I want to know what I've done wrong, not just get insulted and be left clueless.


I do understand your irritation, TM, and I do agree that sometimes it can be a little confusing as to exactly why something we've said earns us censure. 

Then again, when we signed up for membership with CollarMe, we each indicated that we had read and understood the the site's TOS and agreed to abide by them.  We are also adults and hopefully responsible enough to have taken the time to read the guidelines for posting in this forum. 



Sanity -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 3:02:57 PM)

Okay, I just looked it up, and under their logo on the upper left hand corner of their web page the Free Speech Coalition claims they're "on the front line against censorship".

That makes sense to me, that if they're a free speech coalition, then they'd be for free speech. I'm not demanding the right to say anything I want with impunity, which is a pretty shoddy strawman argument on your part. What I am saying is that it would be nice to not have to feel like we're walking on eggshells all the time, and that it would be great if we weren't made to feel threatened here if our political speech isn't just so. You know, easy on the insults and intimidation.

Yeah, it's a free site. So? Why can't we give them some feedback. Why do we have to feel that if we speak our minds that it might be the last post we make here?

You could have at least looked it up, Sanity.



Crush -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 3:06:39 PM)

As I tell my students....it is the "football rule"

---When a bunch of people get together to play football and only one person brings a football, who makes up the rules?    The person with the football, of course!

Forums are perfect examples of the "football rule" in practice....CollarMe brings the football and makes up the rules.  If you can't play by the rules, you are welcome to go get your own football (forum) and set the rules!

That's you you get free speech...you set up your own "publication" ... bring your own football to the game....




Sanity -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 3:09:26 PM)

But everyone attending, invited over to play, should feel free to discuss the rules. No?



MissHarlet -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/3/2008 3:17:17 PM)

It did and caused lots of laughter too !!
