x201 -> Site configuration (3/1/2009 5:04:24 AM)
Should this site be configured in such a way that "hijacking" becomes impossible? Should thread AUTHORS (the OP) have the ability to block persons from posting in their threads? If not, why not?

FullCircle -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 5:15:03 AM)
Do people really enjoy talking to themselves and only viewing opinions they agree with? It would not be good for a balanced thread they would all end up one sided with no voice of descent.

DarkSteven -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 5:18:10 AM)
Hey. We're all adults here. When I start up a thread, I do so for the purpose of learning from those who post in response. Blocking others whose views differ from mine indicates that I don't really want to learn. The mods already can remove posts from those who violate the TOS.

Evility -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 6:58:50 AM)
Nope. We have moderators for a reason. Leave things the way they are.

MasterG2kTR -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 7:42:50 AM)
That would be called censorship and violate my 1st amendment right to freedom of speech!

ScooterTrash -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 7:43:33 AM)
NO, that would be overkill censorship. A lot of times the sideline "hijack", whether intentional or not, becomes an interesting and in many cases informative part of the thread.

CatdeMedici -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 8:08:40 AM)
Actually, any one can block the ability to see specific posters. I am sure the mods would love to do this, for a fee, but then this is a FREE site, so it is what it is--and well if I don't want to hear others negative opinions to My posts, I hit the off button.

if you don't like the replies posted on your thread, i have some simple solutions for you: 1) create and moderate your own forum or 2) simply click "hide" on the certain respondees you dislike. lastly beware of Mod XI - enough said

If not, why not? I see your profile was created today; but are you sure you weren't here before, under another name, perhaps [8\|] ?

MsLadySue -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 8:51:44 AM)
I've read several of your threads. They've all been complaints about how CM operates. Many people have suggested changes to this site but since it's free, members' suggestions are taken with a grain of salt. If you dislike this site so much, why are you still here?

If not, why not? If that happened, said "blocked" persons would be very common in a brief period and I, for one, agree with ScooterTrash, (but not about everything, so at least we could start our own thread and have a healthy discussion there, having blocked everyone that does not agree with both of us or divert our boring ramblings towards more healthy sordid matter) mass debate is healthy and fun.

Oh I can just see that working....NOT I dont think there is a public version of any forum that allows that by individual authors... you can assign mods but it would be utter chaos and fall apart very quickly good luck making one or finding one Lucy

kiwisub12 -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 11:48:05 AM)
So .... did the mods take away two of the three threads that you started today? I was really enjoying them when i got called in to work, and they were gone when i came back. sigh [&o]

Perhjaps we should ask the Mods to reinstate them so we can continue the giggle.

kiwisub12 -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 12:01:03 PM)
Damn - i get to miss all the fun!!!! Not fair! I'm going to the corner to pout.

Cali That's not fair ... some of us never had the first amendment right to not have apply, mind you, on the other hand, isn't being ammended kind of similar (ish) to being moderated in certain contexts ... and no one want's to get moderated , do they? so maybe I will accept the situation for what it is, having ones ammendment ignored ([:(] )sounds like something that would not suit me, so not having one to ignore in the first place will spare me some disappointment !

CalifChick -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 2:00:25 PM)
The amendment would be a moderation to the Constitution. You don't get the benefit of THAT either. [;)] Cali

piratecommander -> RE: Site configuration (3/1/2009 2:05:58 PM)
I am pleased to know that my constitution will not be affected because I like my constitution just the way it is, I have no wish to fall ill or suffer impaired "body functions" [;)] Pirate
