Moderation Discussion (branched from Nishy's Farewell Thread)

Bogeyman · Friday July 15, 2016

Just to show those who bemoan moderation of how insane an unmoderated forum can be I shall post a link to a political U.S. forum that is literally & figuratively no holds barred, anything goes & loser leaves town. Warning: not for the timid.

http://www.liberalforum.org/index.php?/forum/44-no-holds-barred-political-forum/

P.S. I am not a member there, but I often get a chuckle from some of the.....uh...'candid' replies.

There's a forum I have visited on occasion which is pretty much self moderated. If a thread needs derailing they post boob pictures until the protagonists get bored and go away. I think goldfish and pants are much better for TSR.

Bike Chat Forum (BCF) is unmoderated. It's a mad house.

Must have missed the bit about members wanting TSR unmoderated .
Tea anyone

nick_s · Friday July 15, 2016

Tea, strong, white and one. Merci beaucoup

The only posts mods don't agree with contain personal attacks, aggression and the like - or ones posted deliberately to cause problems or ignoring a mods comments. Hm! and ones considered likely to bring TSR into disrepute. I'll stop thinking about it as the list might grow and then be quoted back at me as not containing the latest reason I don't give.

Poking mods with a cyber stick is not recommended, either.

Fuck! if JohnnyO can avoid being moderated it shouldn't be beyond the wit of us all to avoid it as well. A good day for me? Nothing needing moderation. I'd very much like to get back to enjoying a relaxing, fun time on TSR.

And So Say All of Us. Have a good weekend Carl.

Coffee please I'm at work, I only drink tea at home.

And in the meantime, there is a charity raffle being totally ignored here. The prize generously donated by @Hone Andrew and all proceeds going to the TSR charity.

Oops! just removed a few posts albeit a tad late in the day. The reason I gave was 'Play nicely please'.

One poster is well known for his 'disruptive behaviour' and I'm left thinking, "Dear lord, when will he grow up?"

Exact opposite here.

It takes less time to train a minion to make a relatively decent coffee than a good strong cup of cha - the coffee machine does most of the work.

I get around this by specifying 2 bags to a mug. Not 100% foolproof.

I was the minion who was trained ... Not that I couldn't learn, just that choosing not to ensured I didn't get too many coffee or tea making duties.

Ah in my Domain you get sent back to try again until you get it right.

Not sure an endless stream of boob pictures could ever make me bored
