International Politics Forum Feedback (Part 3)

is that a typo is tigerman back in the ip moderating fold? If so, nice to see you back on duty, though i ate to think what any IP moderators meetings are going to bet like :wink:

Welcome back TM. Good to see you moderating IP again.

Frequently, due to time constraints, mods simply flounder or flame entire posts that are comprised of text that is only partially in violation of the Rules. This type of moderating is perfectly acceptable and mods are well within their discretionary right to do so.

However, I have always been concerned that by doing so the integrity of the thread is deeply insulted. As such, I will tend to delete only the offending text portion of a post and insert a note regarding the deletion.

In this way, I believe that the integrity of the threads will be preserved to the greatest extent possible, and nobody will have cause to complain that they are being censored.

Your understanding will be much appreciated.

Peace

Was about time that I get a henchman. :wink:

Just kidding, Tigerman is of course a co-mod with equal status and I do welcome the help. :slight_smile:

So a post pointing out the similarities between 2 mass murders and their supporters gets floundered? Why?

66.135.38.230/taiwan/viewtopic.p … 03998801be

Isn’t it obvious? You are permitted to post similarities between GW Bush and Hitler…

But, don’t you dare post similarities between Che and Hitler.

I floundered it. It was a stand-alone post that had no real point.
CS, did you perchance hit “New Topic” instead of “reply”? There was no mention of a comparison between Che and Hitler.

Also, please post feedback in the appropriate thread. IP has its very own feedback thread. Please use it.

Perhaps you should have read the thread. Since we were hearing about all of Che’s good qualities from his supporters, I thought we should take alook at one of Che’s historical anticedents. Surely it’s allowed to make historical comparisons under the New Order ™, isn’t it? It’s going to be very difficult to have any type of discussion concerning historical figures otherwise.

I repeat: It was a stand-alone post - there was no other post before or after it. Did you maybe hit “New Topic” instead of “Post Reply”? The two buttons are right next to each other - it would have been an easy mistake to make.

That’s odd. When the post was originally placed, it was in the thread discussing Che. Thus, it was relevant considering the context of the thread.

I split if off because there is evidently no reference to Che nor any indication that a comparision was actually intended. However since I concluded the content of the post is otherwise acceptable for discussion I let it stay in the IP forum instead of floundering it.

(And no doubt, Hitler is CS pet issue)

Typical bullshit response from a lily-livered liberal democrat. Hug my arse. What YOU need is a gigantic cheeseburger with all the trimmings.

I suppose I had better post my question here. If a post is only emoticons (reponse) should it or should it not be floundered? I ask because Mesheel posted a statement with only an emoticon response on her part. In the past, I was floundered for doing so. Just in the interests of consistency, I would ask that we need not flounder her post but then in the future would not need to do so to any posts that I may or may not make with only emoticons?

Regarding your question about the emoticons: Mesheel’s post also contained a quote from a source, thus providing a base for discussion.
Your posts were only quotes from other people (i.e. a duplication of what has been said already) and you responded with emoticons only, thus not adding anything worthwhile to the discussion topic.

Further please take note of the following which you posted here:

Just following orders eh Rascal?

I shall do my utmost to submit to your authority. I really shall.

What is happening to both this forum and site when somebody who resigned as moderator citing differences of basic principles now returns.

Which idiot asked or allowed Tigerman to return as moderator of IP. If ever a case was made for voluntary banning or a Broonale style cryogenic euthanasia then it has now arrived.

this is an ignorant post. you are an inconsiderate person.

Several idiots asked and this idiot agreed. :laughing: Speaking on behalf of Tigerman here, I think that he had difficulty moderating to the standards that his conscience dictated, because the principles I was hoping he would moderate under weren’t laid out clearly or consistently, hence the rules overhaul. Things still aren’t perfect, but they’re better.
