a sequel to the “Let our people…” series.
Yes, Jothar, this is for you!!!
I think we all have different definitions of fun . . .
Agreed 100%.
Just make sure your fun isn’t harmful/dangerous.
How about, let our people discuss Torah. If you feel the need to LOR people, fine. Why does a normal thread have to close to non moderators?
ZeesKite,
Please, let it rest. You are generating much more disruption with this issue than Jothar is.
As far as a phone-call verified screen name, I personally don’t think that it would be feasible. In general, security and usability are inversely proportional, so a proper balance needs to be attained. Also, I feel that providing personal information such as a phone number to a Web site is in itself a security threat for the user.
I think the best path for greater security lies in the existing features of the CR: the posters and moderators. Posters should guard their personal information more closely, and moderators should be on the lookout to edit/delete posts that may compromise someone’s personal information, especially if the poster is young.
Avram in MD: +1
It is only a disruuption as much as you take it as one.
Avrum.. you are just as fishy as Jothar. Are you the same???
I think in the name of Jothar, this site has a new problem!
WE’RE TIRED OF MODERATING NASTY COMMENTS. LET’S KEEP THE TONE COOL. LET’S RESUME TO PLEASANT POSTING AGAIN. (and no, I’m not Jothar)
You are not moderating fairly.
You had to close two threads today due to machlokes, and it was the same person being difficult and not a word to them. Not even a thank you to say we appreciate your efforts, but we got it under control. But with my post, oy, an intervention. lol
I stayed out of a few new threads today where people were less than their usual selves and unable to socialize in a relaxing manner. Please try to moderate fairly and dont delete and manipulate the posts to the benefit of one over the other. Its not right.
WE DO TRY. IT’S USUALLY THE POSTS THAT GET WRITTEN WITH ANGER TOWARD OTHER POSTERS, THAT GET DELETED.
BTG – I`m with you on that post you just posted that got removed already. I also got a mods comment on my post.
Thank you real-brisker. They can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
Moderator, I am not so sure how you can distinguish anger versus a serious view in my post, but I have seen less than gentle comments made to posters by various moderators. Nonetheless, not one comment to the person ruffling feathers for the past two days, leading to those threads to having to be closed.
I was enjoying the CR earlier in the week and decided to stay out of it what was annoying me. Then others, by the droves, started reacting to a certain person in the same way I was and not only was there no comment from a moderator to that person who had their topics closed, there was even cooperation from moderators as the person called out their requests to the moderator.
Hmmmm.
Thank you for your effort in replying, though.
DIFFERENT MODERATORS HAVE DIFFERENT MINDS AND DIFFERENT RESPONSES
BTG – You gotta have special eyes.
That is true. Let’s let all this gunk go and have a great Shabbos everyone!!!
BTGuy,
Despite the fact that I really like fish, I am not Jothar. I just happen to agree with one point he has been making: that users on this site should be more careful with personal details, and moderators should be on the lookout for suspicious behavior. Nothing more than that. I have no other intentions.
zeeskite, you are a nice person. Jothar is a nice person. Everyone here is nice. I mean that! Some are wrong, but all are nice..lol I like the CR and everything everyone has to offer.
The security issue is very important, but the security issue was being handled in a way that has become divisive even when I backed out of it. It is the topic which should have been moderated and not those expressing their dissatisfaction.
If the site develops new policies, and wants our phone numbers; fine. But to make it a daily, multiple topic matter, clearly, is not too popular, to say the least. If I never said a word on this, it was still an issue that stuck out like a sore thumb this week. There is nothing moderate about moderating with bias.
Good Shabbos and let’s focus on Achdus next week maybe!
As my mother, A”H, used to say, “When fun is fun it’s really funny, but when fun isn’t fun it isn’t funny anymore” Good Shabbos
and i always say “its funny till someone gets hit by a truck”.
