H2O and all that ...PLEASE READ!!!!! (page 3)

Simon

I understand the need and desire to get the information out there but there is a danger that everything becomes the same. At the moment, there are many forums and web sites each with their own unique personality that will appeal to different people. A lot of the information posted on one site does end up as links or references on other sites but I don't think it would be good to do it for every post we make.

There is a danger that it will look like some organised campaign which some people could be put off by.

Just my 2p worth.

BTW: Re. the assistants - I'm setting things up now and will send out some instructions next week to several people on how to use the new features to help.

Greetings Simon,
Please excuse me if I have misunderstood this,but are you implementing an assistant/moddy feature?
I read something about that in the other forum.
They can delete,remove threads,edit,etc?
Im just trying to undertand,thanks.Tina

Dearest JanG... may you have peace.

Since you are so 'het up' on having folks go BACK to H20, let me ask YOU, please:

A few weeks ago, I was banned, expelled, disfellowshipped, from H20.

About a week ago, I received an email from Rick INVITING me back to H20. The invitation did NOT specify a specific forum within H20.

The day I received such invitation, I posted on H20.

The day AFTER I posted, I received a 'cutting' post from Mod2 and my post was deleted.

I responded to such deletion by telling of Rick's invitation. Mod2 basically said I was lying because he/she hadn't heard of any such invitation.

Initially, Rick was silent, but when challenged by Ros, admitted that he had made such invitation, BUT that it was not the main forum. NO reply from FD2, whatsoever. (Big surprise...)

I informed Rick that his invitation had made NO reference to a specific forum.

The 'rules' say that 'deleted' posts can be viewed in the Deletion Bin. HOWEVER... my post is GONE... is was not reinstated to the Main Forum, not 'moved' to the Underground Forum, nor does it exist in the Deletion Forum. And NO reply from Rick, FD2, Mod2... nobody.

What in the WORLD makes you think that H20... changed... or EVER will?

Now, if you're going to reply, I want you to stick to the issues, the TRUTH, the evidence... and the 'rules'. Otherwise, don't bother, because I don't think either of us has the time to waste.

A slave of Christ, who is EXTREMELY GRATEFUL that those here allow me freedom of speech and permit me to SPEAK... whether they 'hear' or they 'refrain', which gratitude, I need to direct to them... and will.

Yes, Tina - just some extra people to help out. They wont be there to impose opinions - just help protect the forum from idiot posters (porn etc..) move posts to the correct areas to keep it organised and edit posts to help with entering links/ formatting and such.

I've been after volunteers

Hi Tina,

You said:

I didnt like ricks parting shot to me-let alone the silly fpp. Nor did I appreciate the verbal abuse he heaped on my friends there. His parting shot to Ginny was especially nasty and made my mind up for me.

I agree with you. Rick was really nasty to a lot of people before the mass exodus started. Having been on H2O for a long time I got tired of his erratic behavior and in the end I realized that he would never change. The few times I have bothered to take a look at what's going on there, I must say that I find their attitudes pathetic and childish when it comes to their Holy FPP.

A place like this board seem to be totally incomprehensible to Rick. In his world an unmoderated board simply isn't possible. It is the end of civilzation as he knows it. There must be RULES, there must be CONTROL, or everything collapse for him.

I personally got so tired of his erratic whishy washy politics that I simply left and I have absolutely no reason to think it will change in the future. As long as someone else see fit to decide for me what I can read and say, I am not interested. I am a responsible adult and I am perfectly capable to decide that for myself.

Norm.

Simon, thanks for posting.

I would hate for all the boards to be the same too however there are a lot of people here who have so much experience who could keep an eye on the other boards and give answers and support when needed etc

There are also great people here who have articles, items of interest, info like Silent Lambs has, etc who could make sure that the other boards get the info too ...

Someone suggested I do it .... I already do when I have time but it gets to be a time taker when it is so much info. It would only take a few moments from the original poster's time to cross post and then keep an eye out for replies to that article.

I am not suggesting that everyone here go post the same things on the other boards ... HEAVEN FORBID .... it would be too much like the Org! Just some of us make sure that important info goes to all the boards so that those wo don't come here and vice versa do hear about it.

I hope I have made myself as clear as mud again

Hey Hey Hey Jan

Folks might come back if the moderaters would be COMPLETELY honest and stop all the banning crap!

Lets be honest!

Just how OPEN can an OPEN forum be when you govern spirituality just like the WT..BS

Just a thought

JUST A MOM (Kim) who understands moderating "the nasties". But lets get real! How much damage can one do talking about our creator. Whether you hear it or click off, thats your perogative!

AGuest

Heeeyyyyy, Girl-O!

Welcome to 'Macedonia'! Indeed, you will find the 'natives' here MUCH more loving. And as John Lennon said, "All we NEED is love! Love is ALL we need!"

Peace and LOVE to you... and yours! Always...

Your servant, sister in and follow slave OF Christ,

Ooops ..... I didn't realize that Hopeful was still logged in on my Interned Explorer ..... she has been here the last two days visiting so I let her use the puter to use the net.....

It was me, JanG, who wrote this message .....

I think that is fair.

I would like to see as many as possible put the new forum to the test so that the bugs (including over the top moderation) can be ironed out. There is a forum there for everyone like there is here, and there is room for lots of improvement ..... the mods have to learn too just as the owners but no one will earn if there is no real testing ....

Just a thought

Folks .... despite what you may think, my heart is in the right place ... I just want to see lots of SAFE places where people can get help because I think in the next year or so they are going to really need it ....!!

just another thought ................

H2O and all that ...PLEASE READ!!!!!
