Report Discussion Problems Here 4.0

Faith seems to have valid points. Rather than have a moderator comment get lost/ignored in the topic in question, let this message be the warning - Get/be on topic and be nice about it.There. Warning done. Suspensions come next.Adminnemooseus

Legitimate? Probably not. But I thought that it truly needed to be isolated into it's own topic. Although, in hindsight, I shouldn't have put it into the "Dates and Dating" forum.NO REPLIES TO THIS MESSAGE IN THIS TOPIC. ANY DISCUSSION SHOULD GO TO THE General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List') TOPIC.By the way, the Crashfrog and whomever was also taking part discussion (upthread) really shouldn't have happened in this topic. Bad, very bad.Adminnemooseus

I've lost track of what the topic in question is, and Cavediver didn't give a link. Anyway... First of all, I don't normally give "Cheers" to messages from the admin mode ID, but I felt Cavediver made a good moderation issue point - "...and others simply can't help feeding the troll.". It's pretty hard for an individual to cause major topic problems without the support of others, be it "feeding the troll" or just blindly "chasing the off-topic" (these may be one and the same). Self moderation by members would be VERY helpful.Foreveryoung has the burden of being of the minority perspective side. If that wasn't tough enough, he also has publicly admitted to having very significant psychological problems. Thus, I am bending over backwards to try to make this place a beneficial experience for him (aka - not banning him permanently). I fully agree (OSLT). An even more immediate solution would have been for others not to post responses (which, since FEY was off-topic, were also off-topic). Sometimes I just want to find the problem message and the chain of responses to that message, and suspend everyone involved. I wouldn't bet on it, even if FEY did stop posting. Others could well carry on without his input.A similar problem is the various other members also chasing kofh2u's "doesn't belong in the topic material".ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THIS MATTER MUST GO TO THE General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List') TOPIC.Adminnemooseus

The topic in question is Off Topic Posts aka The Rabbit Trail Thread.This topic is a spin-off of Heat release from tectonic friction.My moderation message in question in the topic in question is here, where I said: The "Off Topic..." topic was started by Faith because of the "Heat release" topic was badly going off-topic (Indeed, I did also post an "off-topic" message there, and also "Off-Topic" bannered a bunch of messages.I had mixed feelings about the new topic. It very much was needed, was set up with a fairly specific theme, but also left things open to make it a catch all topic. And did bypass the Proposed New Topics procedure and did not belong in the "Coffee House". Anyway, the global warming/energy alternative sub-theme broke out, and I thought that sub-theme and it's (some POTM worthy) messages were way off the real original topic theme and deserved a better home.I hate seeing a good discussion happening in a bad place.So, what didn't someone just start a new "Global Warming / Energy Alternatives" topic?Please, any further discussion should go to the General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List') topic. If so, please include a link back to here.Adminnemooseus

Not going to do anything right now - Maybe tomorrow.Adminnemooseus

Which part of the topic title's (NOT A DISCUSSION TOPIC!!!)do you people not understand?Is it that you think "blather" doesn't count as "discussion"?Any replyer to this message will certainly get suspended. Maybe I'll get to the blatherers in general later.AdminnemooseusEdited by Adminnemooseus, : Fix goof.

In the beginning, evcforum.net was set up as a site for science discussion. If a creationist believed that science supported his/her creationist beliefs, then this was the place to discuss it. The "Science Forums" forums.Things have since diversified from that beginning, resulting in general discussions ("Coffee House") and more purely theological discussions (the various "Social and Religious Issues" forums. Of course, things that belong in one area tend to also slop over into another area.Adminnemooseus

I'm not much up on this topic, but my instincts are that the discussion (at least in the context of this forum) can be narrowed to exclude third world considerations. Just like how we try to keep a more narrow focus in science topics - While things must also fit into the big picture, that doesn't mean we can't try to restrict a topic to considering the small picture.Judgement: Jon is correct in the context of a topic at this forum. Tangle is correct in the context of the real world. OSLT. Jon submitted what he considered to be a forum discussion problem. Even if it isn't judged to be such, he still followed proper procedure.Please take any further discussion of this matter to General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List'), and there supply a link back to this message.Adminnemooseus

I've already filed a message in the Private Administration Forum, having the subtitle "Weird spammer(?)".AdminnemooseusEdited by Adminnemooseus, : Change ID.

Even before this massive spam flood, the spammer to non-spammer ratio was pretty high. I suspended quite a few before they posted, although a lot of the recent spammers just had spam homepages and I suspect they never intended to actually post any messages.I'll set things to approval required, and will review things before OKing.Adminnemooseus

Hey, there's a "Whine List" topic! General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List')Adminnemooseus

NOTE THE SUBTITLE.This must be referring to my message 1007: Most to all of the previous messages (in "Report Discussion Problems Here 4.0"), by LamarkNewAge and others, do not belong in this "report problems" topic. As quoted above, LNA was given a very specific place to reply about moderation issues, which is not this topic.LamarkNewAge suspended for 48 hours.Adminnemooseus

I want to ban Davidjay forever, but Admin wants to "follow proper procedure".I much preferred David Mabus messages.Adminnemooseus

I searched each page of Faith posts at "The Right Side of the News (formerly In the News)", for the phrase "Edited by Admin", and only found one message where Admin had done an edit, which was to change the display size of a youtube video.Might we have a clue where some of the censorings might be found?Adminnemooseus

I don't know what happened at that message, but I doesn't appear to be an action by any admin (Admin, or any other admin).If Admin had edited that message, there would be a little "Edited by Admin" at the message bottom.Oddly, the raw ("peek") version of the message does not seem to correlate with what is in the normal display version of the message.My guess is that there is something odd in one or more of those links, that is causing the wacky display.Adminnemooseus
