Matt
"""It aint happening in the current suggested form. """
OH okay, you already consulted with others. Must have been a long nite for you. Okay
"""Basically, a lot of folks want *ALL* deleted posts to go to one board so they can review the trash."""
Yes, that is so. Now were they all trash, and in whose eyes, and it was said that it would be discussed by posters if it was trash or not. Heck, some good things are thrown in the trash and people are making thousands of dollars taking things from the trash can. That would lead me to believe that when trash is thrown in the trash, it just might not be trash, but it is trash in the eyes of the one who threw it in the trash.
"""No way."""
OH, another decision that was discussed with others whom you consult with. Okay
"""What happens with that?"""
In your eyes and those you consulted with in the middle of the night
"""1. Channelling (people posting links to the trash bin where their post is)"""
Make a rule stating no link to. BUT allow them to tell them to go to the Deleted posts thread or wherever then.
"""2. People having an incentive for posting the way *they* see fit because they can still be heard."""
that is what you and I are doing. You can only bottle up my opinions and thoughts so much,people
will start to wonder why you are bottling up my thoughts, whom are you protecting, are you really unbiased, etc etc etc.
"""3. I'm sure more. I haven't had my coffee yet."""
Hope it was not too strong and you have had it already. Gotta go get mine soon. <<gg>> and with a dunkin donut as they do not have Krispy Creme here and I so want to taste one one of these days.
"""The way the system is right now, a post gets deleted and I am the only one who reviews the post."""
OOPS...thought that you consulted with others. Gee Matt, even Jesus talked to the twelve apostles about things. I am sure he appreciated the input from those that he felt were so much wiser than him. Jesus was a humble man, wasn't he.
""". If it should be restored, it gets restored."""
Okay, you have the sole power then and that is not fair to you Matt. I think that administration should give you a break as that is too much responsibility for one man to have and you are too young to have a heart attack and also should be out having more fun and not have to have to be put in such a position that will take up days and nights.
I think that will be changing as Anthony stated in his post #2485...""""gest that this should be explored by Matt and the people he consults to see if it would be feasible."""
"""Now, I am open to something like this: When their is a contraversial post -- like there was one *major* one a few weeks a ago, I would come on to a designated board, say my/this Q&A board and post the message. Say "this message was removed" but I would like to open it up for discussion. That way, people are learning what is acceptable and also get to take a peek at what gets deleted. Who knows, the rules could change because of the discussion."""
Oh Boy!!! here I go again. How can a post be discussed when a post is deleted and no one saw the post so they cannot discuss it.sheesh....
"""I am very against letting all posts that are deleted go to a certain thread for review. If that happens, I see my deleted posts ratio doubling or tripling"""
Totally disagree. The posters who posted posts that were deleted will be out in the open. My GAWD man, let people think for themselves and make their decisions(with some help from smarter folks during discussions). You are making the decisions, not your posters, as to what is a good post or bad post, and that is wrong. Let posters decide who the jerks, pumper and dumpers, hype artists for personal gain,etc etc etc., posters giving recipes that have arsenic in the recipe(<g>. Now someone might not know that arsenic can kill you, and would make the recipe and die. See what I mean. Monitor the recipe thread if there is one here also.
There are sooooo many deleted posts now.
"""But, it will be at my discretion, or else every person that gets deleted will want to open it up."""
Darn it, I should have read the whole post before I started answering your post....sheesh...I see it has already been decided. What a waste of my time this was. Hope they have enough coffe left and did not eat all those donuts. 10 minutes late for the gettogether.
"""Thoughts?"""
This takes the cake Matt. Your post tells other things... Oh Boy, im outta here now
