[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Ecofarm]

Are you equating "successful" with "populous"?

Depending on one's motives, that could be the case. When we observe the US-haters, pedos and terrorist wanna-bes at CFCOT, we can see that sheer numbers are where they operate. They expected to get slapped 9/10 approaches, and live off the 1/10 that react positively. When 99% of the public finds them disgusting scumbags and their only hope is the innocent and naive, they need all the numbers they can get. For all of their excessive moderation, that site is an absolute danger to young people; people like me get banned while real scumbags are the chosen ones.

Want to troll for autistic/aspergers children? Want to discuss how sex between adults and 13 year olds is fine? Want to support terrorists every chance you get? CFCOT is the place for you.

I was banned because I went after the scumbags (especially among the chosen ones) and told it like it is. You see, those excessive rules of moderation allow the monsters to hide under the bed; noone is allowed to look and noone is allowed to point them out.

Who made MikeH a mod?

[Brundlefly]

i havent posted regularly here in about 4 years... can someone advise what is the current policy on photo threads?

[MikeH]

Anything that any of the mods deems to be not safe for work for whatever reason will get deleted. I would er on the side of caution with respect to partial nudity...

Other than that, ok.

[SlowwHand]

It's "err".

Brundlefly, we actually have a babe thread these days (although the novelty wore off and it's sunk several pages deep in the OTF).

I had this same "little talk" with C0ckney when he thought it would be cute to spam hundreds of techno videos one after the other for like 10 pages or something. If you wish to do that, put them all in one post. If you see my post-times they are at least 6 hours apart, when the thread has dropped to the bottom of the page, or when some other people post their vids. Not only are you flooding the thread you are knocking other peoples vids 2 to 3 pages back, where they are less likely to get many views.

Its one thing to post music, its another to blatently spam just to raise your post count. So again why didnt (or wont) you put all those vids into one post?

[Berzerker]

Wow, 5 videos in an hour is spamming? I can put em in one post from now on, but I dont give a damn about my post count (thats even more insulting than your whining). I'm posting music so people who want to listen, can, or not. You dont wanna listen to my selections, dont. Jesus, what a *****cat. Sure, I'll stop in every 5-6 hours and post a song No thanks...

Can I start my own music thread and "spam" it?

And since when does the OT count for anything? Thats why I've been stuck on Emperor all this time, most of my posts are in this forum.

[MikeH]

Berzerker, I've replied to your PM. Suggest we move arguments of why AAHZ and I are a**holes to the Off Topic Moderation Thread.

Off Topic posts count for post count these days, and have for a long time. Over a year I think.

[Berzerker]

Whats with the filter problem you mentioned in the PM? How are people missing stuff because of my posts? I dont understand why people cant just scroll by the songs they dont want to hear, thats what I do and I dont whine about it.

and why are you calling AAZH an a**hole?

[MikeH]

Moved discussion about A Music Thread into here.

Look, it's not a big deal. We're just asking you to take other people into consideration is all. 2 ideas that work for everyone, post a bit less frequently, or combine multiple related videos into a single post. Neither seem unreasonable.

If you post loads in a row no-one will look/listen to most of them, so it's pointless. Give people a chance/time to see what you've put up there.

[MikeH]

Discussion moved to Mod thread.

[MikeH]

And yes, if you want to start your own thread that's fine.
