I mean, you can twist just about anything to fit under the umbrella of "personal opinion" if you try hard enough enough. Does that mean we don't actually need moderators? Is that the logic here?
And if you're such a huge believer in democracy, why are you venting on a message board instead of heading down to Washington D.C. to protest outside the Capitol or the White House? Go talk to the government directly, don't bring it here.
The chat is generally a bit more laid-back here which basically means if you're going to get slapped with a warning, the insults have to actually sound somewhat biting it’s just that a moderator can't really wrap their head around the fact that some people get a free pass because they're well-liked by certain members—people who could say the exact same thing and get flagged instantly—not to mention all those silent types who just sit there and read everything without ever saying a word
restlesstiger102, look, you're not wrong about that, really, because just because you might have some friendly little side chats or a decent rapport with people on this forum privately doesn't change the fundamental reality that a moderator is going to judge the situation based strictly on what's actually been typed out and how a completely neutral third party would interpret the text itself.
It’s a bit more complicated than just making it happen, honestly, because you’ve got thousands upon thousands of people out there who actually need the help
then I wouldn't be such a favorite around here 😛 But seriously: half the time, it’s just some bizarre network configuration at the office, or maybe the browser itself is acting up, or honestly, it’s probably just the user being themselves...
So, what exactly am I supposed to do with your work laptop now?? I’m definitely not letting anyone else sit in my chair or touch my setup It’s pretty simple—every single time I step away from my desk, I just hit ctrl-alt-del + enter
shtefitze, you’ve officially burned through your entire quota of pure boredom for the season, so I guess you’ll have about a month to recover before you can be tedious again
Mark Booth91, take a breath and watch the tone, if you don't mind my asking.
The whole thread where everyone is busy praising this boat and all those "characters" backing it up is actually just one single person. ok? Because of that, the entire topic loses any shred of credibility, which is exactly why it was wiped from the board.
