Regarding trashed thread
I'd like to start by saying I'm extremely agitated by the action of a staff member trashing my whole thread just because a few members got caught up in an argument. You could have just trashed their posts and those mentioning the argument, which would be like 8 posts max. Instead, you trashed the entire thread.
I feel like you trashed my thread just because you didn't like me or my topic, not because of rules or anything. You know you could have trashed the posts instead. If this were to happen in an important sticky whatsoever made by you, you wouldn't react in the same way. Explain please. I'd also like to know who trashed it. Thank you. |

This has happened in the past, entire threads getting trashed because of the reply of one person, in a few cases arguments between more than one person, I could list examples.
I know that several of those threads can be seen as, or was seen as, quite doubtful by staff and members of the board. But I do think it is wrong to trash an entire thread that has been alive for weeks or months in which a lot of persons participated (I'm not talking about the recent tabloid one, nor the CHAT THREADs), because of the actions of one or a few users later on in the thread. I think that a more appropriate action would be to delete the posts of the trouble makers, and if necessary also write a warning post in the effected thread about what is not wished for. A short "No flaming of other users" or "Please stay on topic", or if the staff member in question got time, a more thorough explanation. I know the tabloid thread isn't a quite good idea, because very few people would be able to follow the points in it. It can also lead to flaming of users, which it did in this case, but as of now I only know one user remaining on AHS who would do something like that. Even though this might seem insensible I find it wrong to trash threads because they have the potential, or slight potential, to attract rule breaking behavior, because if a user would take the opportunity to break the rules that user should be punished and not everyone. I have at times gotten the feeling that some actions taken by staff is because it's the quickest way, as the staff members are doing this on their free time. Please take careful note on that this is not a complaint, I know that I have nothing to do with the rules and policies of AHS, apart from following them, and I also know that AHS is a free service maintained by people working at their free time. But if that would be the case, maybe it would be a good idea to look for staff members who have more time for all the hard work.

I know Immel, they have their own lives to deal with and stuff, but still... ARGH.
At least if you have no time to deal with problems, just post a warning or something like that in the thread and then delete the argument when you're free. |

Actually I don't understand why they finally trashed it. One of the mods was on at least twice when the thread was open, and knew about the posts, yet did nothing, then skal was here, she did nothing, then two lower mods were on, and the thread gets trashed. Were you guys debating or something?
Mad_Cactuar, I'm sorry for saying **** in your thread, I know it's partially my fault, but I was talking to some other members, and we all hope that you go through with your idea anyway, because we all love it.

We do discuss things together and bring up posts that could be against the rules. Unless the rulebreaking is blatantly obvious (like someone posting pictures of sex, as one clear example of when it's alright to act as soon as you see the offending post) it's better to wait for others' opinions before acting in case the rest of the staff disagree with you about what should be done.
I understand that the thread was meant as a joke but in general there's a chance that people will use something like this to go against forum etiquette: Quote:

Sounds great, it is very very nice of you to release this kind of information on how you work and what is currently going on, because when we are left with nothing but the result of your work it can sometimes get very confusing. I appreciate it very much and it also made me happy, as weird as that may sound.
I think that the users who were mentioned in this issue of the tabloid had time to reply and say that they were entirely OK with the idea along the standards of Mad_Cactuar before someone came in to the thread later on and took the opportunity to flame. And thus I think that at least this thread should not have to be trashed, I can't speak for future editions. In future editions it could be an idea to only include users who you know are OK with being mentioned, just to be sure it wont lead to any trouble for you, Mad_Cactuar.

Fish talks! Fish talks!
My thread and post get trashed like all the time. Now, i've come to think of it that AHS members are just silly and sissy princess from the girls scout. That member's pictures thread that i made nut long ago got trashed. But MC, i'm just like you, think they just didn't like me or my topic, not because of rules or anything. I LOVE YOU FOR TRASHIN' MY THREAD AND POST! Get a life. But MC, i want an ecore for that tabloid you done! |

A staff member posted in your thread that it was trashed because the current Members' Pictures thread hadn't exceeded the 500 post limit (even now it's still only at 436 posts). That is reason enough since the policy is that new versions of ongoing threads, like Pictures or the Official Artist Threads, should only be started when the current one is very close to/over the 500 limit.

it would be definitely better if the mods send a message to the thread starter before he/she trashes it.
Come on man, world peace |

it could very well be true that some people "can't handle its awesomeness", but we still have to respect them and their feelings.

Mad_Cactuar, the entire thread just caused fightings in the thread. Don't you think you have the partial fault into it?
Poking fun at people that YOU THINK YOU KNOW them is just simply wrong. For this I won't side with you. I think whoever trashed your thread is simply doing his/her job. Trashing the posts? Well let me tell you, the chances are there will be people kept on popping out and assaulting each other. The whole thread has to be closed and trashed, I'm afraid so. In fact I seriously think moomba and you owe immel, Lucy and emiko an apology. moomba you got your last warning, whether you listen or not it's entirely up to you. I am now telling you guys, I won't allow any fights occur in my forum. You guys wanna fight? Go somewhere else, don't do it in my turf. |

In any case, sorry Lucy, Immel and Emiko.
Regarding my latest infraction I totally understand. Sorry then, micster and the staff. I assumed porn was ok as long as it was fake and pixellated but I guess not really... Skal read my tabloid then I guess. You read it. Last edited by Mad_Cactuar; 8th February 2007 at 01:36 PM. |
