Nemesis Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 It was political and we have a couple of posters that insist on being hyperbolic to eachother. If you could get them out of the threads so I didn’t have to address so many reports on them, it wouldn’t be a problem. A bigger issue is that they feed off eachother and then others pile in so I can’t just ban the original perpetrators, I have to shut down the thread or spend more time modding everyone’s posts.

You could make me a mod and I could take care of it. *evil laugh*

There are thousands of other places on the internet to discuss this. With people who actually know and understand history and the the current situation. A Mormon perspective is largely irrelevant and unnecessary. I agree with this. This is just my safe place, I trust no one is too extreme or gullible here and it is way easier to tell myself I have learned enough and don’t have to go looking so I can avoid going down the rabbit hole and losing 4 hours before I realize what happened (I think it was 6 hours the first night…maybe that was the second, but typically my ventures down the rabbit hole last about 4 hours) But it is over the top political among other things, so it is very understandable if it is off limits even if I wish it were different for selfish reason.

I understand. Thanks for letting it go as long as it did.

We have some very intelligent board members who are academically impressive to me. That is why I love to discuss things here too, but it can..well, does get personal unless someone is there keeping an eye on threads and reminding everyone to stay focused like I did on the Covid threads I started (and others helped too). That was likely a lot of work for the mods.
ttribe Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 Is my memory faulty, or did there used to be a board rule that made telling others to leave the board verboten?

Did someone tell you to leave? Not that I'm any authority, but I don't think there was ever such a rule.

There's often a way of interpreting the symbols found in what we call "language" to twist them into pretty much whatever we want to see/hear anyway! Evidence: see the thread on this board trying to decide if wearing garments is a "covenant". It all depends on what constitutes a "covenant". Squiggles on a page and their and interpretation!

JAHS Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I have ignored Pink. Is there any way to not have to see any of the topics started by him? He is overloading the Discussions category. 1

He is overloading the Discussions category. I would love that to be an option, but my guess is not since the ignore option only goes up to posts. Nemesis disappearing threads for everyone seems to be the only option unless there is an upgrade that does it (which would likely cost Nemesis more money). 2
