Does the deleted thread take away from my post count? I'm trying to reach Senior Member by the Spring thaw and I have other important schedules to keep. Actually, no. As odd as it seems to me, deleted posts do not reduce your post count. I can change the count, but rest easy, Sulla , you're still one post closer to your lofty goal. YESSSSSSSS! Thanks for all your help, John.

I would suck as a mod since I would only concern myself with the obscene or blatant rule breaking. Sounds to me like you would make a great mod. You're way nicer to listen to all requests. Eventually I would probably have to ban myself for saying shut up too much.

Hello RFS people. FYI: I deleted the entire "Why do christians need scientific proof that homosexuality.." thread because we couldn't keep up with the flood of reports coming in from it. I'm sure most of you remember my promise of minimal moderation for RFS. I am perfectly willing to let you guys do whatever it is you do, and I'm trying my best to stay out of the dramas here, but you're making it very difficult with the way you're all reporting each other. We've been tossing a few bones for RFS here and there, but if you all want minimal moderation, you all might consider minimal reporting because I can't stay out of your way if you insist upon dragging me (and the other mods) into the middle of your family feuds. -John John - I think a policy of let things be is a good one. That said, I think a few of the troublemakers from the first INDB board have come to this board as well. These would be: a) The serial reporters b) The trolls c) the hate mongers
Is there some way to kick these people off the boards?

jackbrockAs far as I'm concerned, everyone who comes here comes with a clean slate. What ever they do, did, say, or said on any other board does not apply here.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will always hurt me. I think unless there is doxxing or porn spamming all the threads and posts should stay. Which posts are being reported? If someone uses someone else's irl name are those posts being reported, for example. Maybe a mod could just edit some posts tho it would take more work.

Oh yeah, shock/try hard trolls (the fuck you posters) should be banned. I think that goes without saying.

At what point should a troublemaker be ejected from the crowd? Is he an occasional troublemaker or is that all he does? Are the FU's justified? What is the context and intent? The porn spammers and doxxers are simple cut-and-dried cases. But the others? Not so much. It's really not as easy as it may seem.

unfortunately, there were some deep-seated blood feuds on imdb that may have been carried over to this new board. on occasion the old board would resemble a nursing home for wayward children. and when i say children, i mean children.
i was hoping against hope that those involved would graduate and join the human race. . .
ftr: i never report posts and RARELY even argue here.

You couldn't pay me enough to be a moderator; your job is so not easy! I can't imagine what angst this board causes you. and want to say that your efforts are appreciated.
I learned on the other board that reporting a post on the basis of bad language simply tends to make the obnoxious poster more obnoxious. I never report, either, I just don't respond to that poster anymore.
PS, I have no idea how I managed to change the font size of this; I'm not used to this format yet and clearly hit the wrong button
Edit: weird, it looks okay now that it's posted. I am so not good at computers.

Not a reporting kind of person myself... May I suggest, if people are reporting offense to religions, then ignore it... If people are reporting homophobia, racism, etc, then do something about it... People have rights, religious ideas don't. Boo hoo hoo. Jack, permit me to enlighten you on something. All people have only one right, and that's the right to a death. Other rights are just a paper illusion. You seem to be like the kid who wants to hit the other kid and then run and hide behind momma's skirt. It's most disgusting.

Before the accusations start flying I want to make it clear that I didn't report anyone on that thread. I'm not going to name names, but I will say that it wasn't just that one thread. We have received more reports from RFS than all of the other boards combined. How am I supposed to honor my promise to you all if you all won't let me? I know it must be irritating to receive all those reports, but just because a lot of people have reported a post it doesn't mean that any action needs to be taken. Or you could sanction the serial reporters, perhaps?

Firstly, there is no right to death, it just happens inevitably because medicine hasn't advanced to the point where society can literally force your body to live forever. Secondly, the notion that rights are a 'paper illusion' doesn't excuse actively trying to block freedom of speech on an internet message board by filing abuse reports about everything you don't agree with.

Firstly, medicine will never advance to that point. If something is made of atoms, it's going to pass away eventually. Secondly, who decides what is to be allowed under freedom of speech? FYI, I didn't report anyone last night. I saw that thread but may not have even clicked on it. I started a thread of my own and was about to go to sleep when another was started, so I posted a couple of times on that. It's absolutely sickening how you guys really think you can follow people around on the Web and put all manner of offensive crap in their faces and then cower behind the concept of "free speech," yet you childishly want that which offends you classified as "hate speech." It makes me want to puke, actually, that anyone could be so immature.

Firstly, medicine will never advance to that point. If something is made of atoms, it's going to pass away eventually. Well my point is that death is not, and never has been, a right. It just happens inevitably (mercifully). The clue would be in the term "freedom of speech". Which means that all of us should be grown-up and stoic enough to be able to handle the existence of opinions that we may disagree with. Or if we can't grow a spine, then put the offender on IGHNOR. The admin has an obligation to delete posts which are in direct violation of the Terms and Conditions, otherwise someone could report the forum to ProBoards and have the whole thing removed (I think that this happened, or at least was threatened for another board of which I was a member). So that unfortunately means that the onus falls on us not to be so sensitive; unless a real violation is occurring, such as someone being doxed, someone's bank details being posted, or child pornography being posted. And I am completely against 'hate speech' laws, for your information. I also did a poll here concerning people's attitudes towards hate speech laws, and the majority of those who voted chose the option that hate speech and blasphemy laws should not exist.
