1054 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Welcome back! So you're on here, but can't PM? Or has that been given back too now? This place confuses me sometimes (I admit that's not a difficult thing to do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm not. It's your phorum and your money. We don't all have bowling alley money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We don't all have bowling alley money. yes, because we're so rich. ROFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Not sure how a forum based on Christianity can't see the irony in this. Speaking of ironic.... What is unChristrian about expecting a tone of civility when posting, expecting a sense of forgiveness when offended, expecting a bit if humility when debating, expecting a modicum of charity when disagreeing, expecting a certain level of loyalty and obedience to the Church if posting here and representing oneself as Catholic. Personally l think your manner of questioning the Christianity of pushing for better behavior a little ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Welcome back! So you're on here, but can't PM? Or has that been given back too now? This place confuses me sometimes (I admit that's not a difficult thing to do). Hang in there. You got involved just before the phorum starting going through some management structure changes. Things will be less confusing soon. This happens every once in a while, but then things settle down for a bit.

Winchester Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Floating an idea: For any report, the reporter will share in the punishment meted out, although it may well be a lesser punishment for the person who reports than the person who is reported. This will discourage some of the whiniest people, since a suspension from this site would probably mean a serious dent in their social circle/attention fix. And it lets someone share in suffering, which is redemptive. But really, it will probably alleviate petty complaints. One way or the other.

I have scarcely reported anyone here, and you want me to be punished for reporting someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reports I've seen come through, for the most part aren't whiny. The biggest issue is that at times when things are blowing up in a thread, you may get maybe one person reporting. Or -- a mod notices it. How about changing the Winchester Line so that it is clearer and enforceable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I go away for a few hours for the LOH and then Novitiate and when I get back I see I have missed all the fun of the purged board! Was I purged too? Phatmass hasn't been this exciting since the great debates that led to the exodus and formation of the Sub Tuum board. Wow! Happy, happy, joy, joy! :) And no, I didn't report anyone because the people who sent me nasty emails were anonymous and I won't accuse without proof. I would do so if I got a nasty PM, but some people like to make their attacks in sneaky ways, and I am not up to seeking out IP addresses or dealing with VPNs or other things like that. I did assume however, after some unadmiring comments about me in VS that I would get nominated for banning - but I missed the results so now I'll never know! :( Anyway, does this mean we are all now one, big happy family again?????

cmaD2006 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Nunsense ... from what I can tell you didn't get "purged". :) You missed it by MINUTES. (the change back of the former purged to non-purged was about 10-15-20 minutes ago). Edited August 1, 2014 by cmaD2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmaD2006 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 So more of us should report? My personal opinion -- yes. If there is a problem (even a perceived issue) hit the button and explain why you are reporting it. But that's my opinion. dUSt? Your turn :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
