I was very young when I started that Anime thread please forgive me. Im now much older and wiser and to be honest I wish it was locked because I cringe whenever I read my posts in it.

Sorry dude, didn't mean it to sound like I'm placing blame. I think we all contributed to the form it took, myself included. It could have had a much better standard of discussion if we'd all chipped it. That I now think it's unsaveable is no comment on you and how you started it.

Can we change the name of the "Xbox 360, PS3 & Revolution - the next hardware generation" thread to something like "Xbox 360, PS3 & Wii - the current hardware generation?"

Let's not get behind the times, here.

Yeah, mm-hmm, this is all very fine, but I don't really think the last sentence is at all necessary. I don't see that the poster referred to has done much to merit that treatment, you know? And of course, it can well escalate to 'well, why don't you fuck off, actually?', which is actually what I very much feel like posting but amn't. At this juncture.

I'm about to attempt to drown myself in the runny bum gunge that has piled to depths of three feet around the Richard Dawkins thread. Would anyone really object if I locked it, or moved it to the Conversation, or weed on it and set fire to it or something?

Could you explain in what way this constitutes a moderation request, Duncan? Would you like a F,TV&T moderator to edit (I assume) Nina's post?

Lacking the energy to follow and document the fascinating feuds between Barbeloids I do wonder what the previous is between Nina and John. If Der Falke is bringing this up just to start another round of 'the oldies get away with a lot more than newbies would' then I really couldn't care less.

runny bum gunge

Leave it alone for a day or two. See what happens. Lock or berserk-attack-with-adamantium-claws as appropriate.

The "Grammer vs Communication" thread in Head Shop - could someone change the Grammer to Grammar in the title please. Thank you.

I thought it was deliberately left for humour. Can't we leave it?

Greetings mods, and rockers. It has been suggested that this thread be moved to the Switchboard, as it's turning "more Switchboardy." Is this possible?

16:02 / 26.01.07
anyone fancy shunting the lester bangs thread from the conversation over to music?

17:20 / 26.01.07
To be honest, I think it would do just as well in books. I remember we had a similar situation with people talking about Chomsky and the Switchboard.

I'm none too bothered, really- it would fit in either. Mind you, Books could probably benefit from the extra traffic.
 
 
Char Aina
17:27 / 26.01.07
i'm happy whatever the case.
jack'll probably call me an idiot wherever it goes, and with the 'recently updated' page folks'll see it no matter where it goes.

i'll leave it up to the conversation moderators.
 
 
Mon Oncle Ignatius
19:54 / 26.01.07
Books could work, but it still seems more suited to Music as the subject (Bangs) writes about music, so discussion would hopefully follow on his and other writers' criticism of their subject. Or that's how it seems to me, and I see your point Stoatie regarding the Chomsky precedent.

Could some mods move this post to this thread, please? It's not a good fit for the thread it's currently in, but it is a superb addition to the thread I've proposed moving it to.

We can't move individual posts from one thread to another. I suggest you PM whoever wrote the post and ask them to post it again where you want, or quote it yourself.

Is it just me, or did I miss a memo about the Switchboard explosives charge thread being wiped? Or is that the one that was ghosted a few pages back?
 
 
Char Aina
12:08 / 01.02.07
are you talking about the BNP bomber, the bomber what bombs for the BNP?
that was the racist press thread.

if not, care to remind me what you do mean?

That's the puppy. I must have skimmed over it, sorry about that. It's just that the trial is set for a couple of weeks time, I think and I wanted to be able to find it.

I've PM'd Flyboy directly about his post in the BDSM Questions thread but I'm very concerned about such a mocking response to another post in a Questions oriented topic.

Personal histories between the posters aside (I don't know but it feels like something old rearing its ugly head) I'd like to ask a Headshop Mod to eyeball the current exchange. I see Haus and MC are Headshop Mods but again there seems to be some history being poked?

To be clear if some heated words are about to be exchanged I'd really appreciate it if the BDSM Questions thread did not play host simply because that's where someone is posting. Take it to the Armoury please.

DEDI is pretty much a recognised troll, XK. I thought ze'd been banned, but unfortunately not.

DEDI's "previous".

A thread that might need unlocking if we can decipher this.

Um. That's actually a set of rather high-falutin' and archaic Spanish sign-offs for letter-writing. "Yours [using the respectful Usted form], your servent, how I kiss your feet*," etc etc. I'ts a bit pushy-subby and inappropriate, not to mention threadrot of the first order, but it's not actually offensive in the "your mum" sense.



*No, really.

...and like you say, Flybers, Dedi has previous. However he did actually acknowledge that he was out of line and apologised. I'm less bothered about his past history and more concerned that he engage with the board in a productive way in the future.

I'd like to ask a Headshop Mod to eyeball the current exchange.

I've agreed Callsign's request to delete the offending post. I can sympathise with his position though, as I was all for banning DEDI the last time and anticipate another troublesome period if his posting continues in the vein it has in that thread. It's not so much a personal vendetta as a potential troll situation.

I think the phrase "established troll" is a little loaded, and probably best avoided. Having said that, I think personalised attacks directed toward a particular user (the "your mother" thing being a good example) are one of the biggies when talk turns towards banning. I'm prepared to take my lead from Mordant here, though.
 
 
Ticker
19:11 / 01.02.07
Well Callsign was extremely helpful and kind via PM's and I appreciate his throwin in for the intent of the thing. Moreso I'm very grateful that he understood my discomfort.
 
 
Less searchable M0rd4nt
19:30 / 01.02.07
Right, my lead. Basically: when last we saw our plucky band of heroes, Dedi had issued an apology (a real apology, as in "I'm sorry I did X where X = not okay thing" rather than the more popular "I'm sorry... sorry THAT YOU'RE ALL STUPID!!" flavour more prevalent in these parts). As far as I'm concerned this earned Dedi another go of Barbelith.

What I'd appreciate from Dedi now is a for-real attempt to re-engage with the board. This means engaging with the posts, rather than the posters. I'm a bit perturbed that when invited to unpack a problematic post in a more appropriate thread, Dedi chose to get a bit personal with a couple of the mods. Nothing dreadful was said, but we now have a bit of a mare's nest in the BDSM thread.

Nobody is interested in point-scoring or personal feuds here (we've got Livejournal for that). It's less important to get in the last word than it is to contribute to the smooth running of the thread. Sound fair?

Could a Film put in a request for this to be moved to Convo?

Mods - I started a thread about finding a therapist - put it in headshop, but then wasn't sure if it should be there - someone recommended conversation? Should it be there, or in temple or stay in head shop? Thank you.
 
 
Spaniel
10:28 / 05.02.07
I'd say Convo. Therapy isn't exactly a natural Temple topic, neither is finding a therapist really the kind of thing that the Headshop caters for.

Convo also gets lots of traffic so you could get many more responses there than elsewhere.
