Where is the proper thread for this? Seems whatever I do to ask gets deleted. Where do normal people go to make suggestions? Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! |

Beware all new seti forum posters....even if you make new benign postings you are subject to censorship...... You need to be careful where and WHAT you say. It is subject to censor.

Of course we need to be careful, as in any forum, and obey the rules. Everyone knows it, or should do, and we are careful, and we do obey the rules. Don't we? Yes they should obey the rules...just like moon and you should ...or the others.. It's essential, son. Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data!

No point. Don't waste your time. Thread deleted. And all without notification to anyone. Direct all comments by PM or direct to setimods email. I too very strongly disagree with certain actions afflicting what I consider is undue and personally biased censorship. Rules are only worthwhile if they are fairly and consistently interpreted.

There have been threads to discuss forum moderation. Every one ultimately devolved into flame-fests . . . and this one appears to be heading in the same direction. |

There are changes coming, how well they will work is anyone's guess. For the moment, I would suggest that patience is a virtue ... though, like chastity, it can be vastly overrated. There is awareness, I think, in about everyone's mind that there is a problem ... the trouble is, will the change make things better or worse? Mods were installed because of problems years ago, the addition of moderators created new problems ... one of which is the "rule of silence", though, the rationale is sound, in practice what it means is there is no visibility of the actions and the behavior ... Again, in fairness, the point is to prevent the abuser of the forum to abuse a moderator ... Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

the addition of moderators created new problems ... one of which is the "rule of silence" Which was specifically ordered by Admin. The new admin may be the greatest guy in the world. He may end up being DLB of Predictor. None of us knows. me@rescam.org |

From another thread 'elsewhere' on the forums which I consider (my own view only) is still applicable: I think there's been a good learning exercise on all sides. You could even include that as part of the science and project research! See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

AH, yes, him ... Ok... So dare I ask for a (very brief) summary of the outcome? Please PM if the comments might endanger this thread! Cheers, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Where do normal people go to make suggestions? After we find them, then we can decide where to send them... ;) (Here's a suggestion: POST BY THE RULES, MOD BY THE RULES.) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

WWJD? He would post by the rules, mod by the rules, and patiently endure persecution from those who do not... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

WWJD? No, he would have gathered 12 friends, then preached his kind of Posting rules then demand change. Join Calm Chaos |
