The same people who engage in unsavory behavior are the ones being asked for moderate and punish people.
It would be like asking oj Simpson to sit on the pannel to punish Carol Baskin.
maybe keep posting locked until you have a certain amount of searches.
more obstacles… not pay to play
you can access all the useful knowledge on this site without even creating an account, my work computer sits on this site all day and I specifically do not sign in so I am not distracted, I just search and learn copy and paste.
posting comes once you have read and searched.
or maybe if you are under a level X you can only post in the playground. you have to earn rep in the playground by either helping others or searching&reading your way out. once you level up you gain posting freedom.
Yep rare breed. Need that generation of outlaws to clean the industry up. Have a weird feeling crime would probably rise for a few months but the shitbags would be out of the game shortly thereafter. And people think one way diving excursions are steaming piles of alligator shit are just a meme.
Where do you see that (outside of the echo chamber) who hasn’t lost (for a period of time at least) their trust level? If so pm me and I’ll handle it.
This is an open forum, we are not internet police here to stop your feelings from being hurt but to make sure topics and discussion are in the right category.
Please show an example. Not aware of this.
How are you handling patents in china? Any luck enforcing your IP over there?
I would hope with any internet forum where you go to spend money you do some due diligence. Whoever wires money to reserve/buy X thing they’ve never looked at is a doofus and hopefully will learn their lesson the first time. I think we have done a good job weeding out the bad guys.
Flags are extremely important, if you feel a post or user is out of line YOU have the ability to bring it to a mods attention. The forum will automatically hide a post if it catches too many flags as I am sure you know, and we often deny the flags because they arn’t against a guideline, they are just sour someone said something. The only active true mods here are @Soxhlet@Future and @sidco, everyone else is a higher trust level and most the time people are doing the right thing with their powers like putting posts in more fitting categories,
Bigger picture: If someone is ‘trolling’ or otherwise off topic, just flag it as such.
If you are a troll or wanting to split a discussion for whatever reason, when composing your reply hit the little reply arrow in the top left corner and click ‘Reply as linked topic’ to start a new discussion in a more fitting category.
Feel free to PM the user with this info, and help them understand a better way to communicate on here.
I’m not policing anyone. I simply stated some of the irony. I wasn’t asking anyone to do any of that. I was simply saying as the comparison lies whom the beholders are aren’t always the straightest arrows themselves.
Thats not irony. Irony would be you getting covid after you wishing it on terry multiple times. That would be some irony.
Your just bitching because you dont get your way
Irony is like a safety training inspector and specialist falls into a car sized meat grinder. From not wearing a safety harness. While explaining to someone how to use the meat grinder while not wearing a harness.
@tweedledew That’s what the report button is for around here- violating the rules. If someone’s opinion offends my sensibilities, I just read elsewhere. My safe space is in my head. You can’t get in there unless I let you.
The definition of irony as a literary device is a situation in which there is a contrast between expectation and reality. For example, the difference between what something appears to mean versus its literal meaning
