Selectivity

Hey Rhymester,

Why do I get the feeling that all she is doing is baiting you into a pointless discussion about things that don't really matter a whole lot? 😛

I think I've seen this before...

The Nut.

You would never have answered:
reason because it was misslead.

You would have trashed the same posts you let through if misslead had posted.

Get a grip.

But you didn't give us chance to answer your question - you answered it yourself even if you did manage to get it wrong.

I said this MANY times before but we just look to see if the post is offensive, pointless, empty, a duplication or senseless (there are posts with just random characters in them). Who posted them is irrelevant. However, it is true to ...[text shortened]... s made by some users who only ever make posts that fall into the above categories.

Well that's obvious.

You said that posts were not monitored based on content but on who posted them.

Why do you ask questions when you already know the answers?

I ask questions so people have to answer.

You sit there bored

stirred up and annoyed.
I'm glad
I could be of service
in helping understand
where you are coming from.

Here is my two cents worth.

In many respects I agree with Linda, the questionable behavour by some people seems to go totally unmoderated. However, as Andrew will surely quickly point out the role of the moderators is to remove bad language or inappropiate comments.

But that role seems to be, in practise, either too much or not enough. The moderators sit on the fence, doing their role as predefined, and allowing material in that is questionable (in my opinion) and removing material that is harmless.

I never have, and never will, wish to be a moderator. It is an impossible job as it is currently defined. The question really is for me where should the line be placed for (in)appropiate behaviour. If you look at my posts in the general forum over the last fews weeks you will probably find where my opinion lies.

Thank you Linda for creating a thread where I could express my opinion.

if only the moderators had deleted the original post i wouldn't have wasted the last five minutes reding what was possibly the most pointless and inane thread in RHP history!!!!!!!!!
