My post correcting the grammar and punctuation of the OP in the "The Only Thing Worth Discussing" thread in philosophy was removed. This was directly related to the selfrighteous nature of the OP. There was no cursing or calling of names. Simple grammer corrections. What gives?

spidergoat:

Philosophy. The study of...stuff and things, how we relate to it, what's it all about, the meaning of life, ect. Don't curse excessively no matter how good it feels, and let me know of any improvements you would like to see here.

Not deleting posts with ironic content that is directly related to the topic.

Fuck.

That's not excessive. Only one.

Ban list update:

superluminal.
Reason: Correcting grammar.

Am I irritated?

Fascistnating.:p

Wait. That won't happen. You're way too nice and restrained.

Ha! I have an infraction for insulting other members. Bet you never got one.

Besides, I don't care if my posts are deleted. I'm not interested in posterity.

Wrong. I have one for inappropriate language. And it's not about posterity. My style involves using irony, humor, and sarcasm as well as reasoned arguements (as you well know). There was ZERO offensive in my post. Why bother writing a post if it can be summarily deleted? Let us all become like the air-hockey robot. I hear and obey...

Sorry about deleting your comments on language, I only meant to remove the stuff on HTML, as it was off topic.

Well I had to throw in the towel, in the interest of decency.

But, but, it's my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, that, and I remember Xev admitting as much, that a moderator can delete, yes, but also undelete because moderators have access to a secret door to the forum backstage where you get to play around with weird and neat shit like a check box that will "delete" or reinstate a post.

posts deleted by users or moderators are still stored on the server and can be seen/restored by mods. i think only admins can completely remove posts.

is this thread for mods only? or can a humble little insignificant little/no-worthy member participate in this discussion too?

Yes this is correct. All deleted posts can be viewed by moderators.

So, Dragon. Just to let you know, you do not need to quote offensive posts as proof that it happened. We can see them. However, if they are deleted it's likely the original poster realized his/her mistake and took care of it themselves.

:)

Yes this is correct. All deleted posts can be viewed by moderators.

you mean to tell me that all the posts i deleted becaused i really didn't want them public can be read by the mods? :eek: :( :bugeye:

Oh yes. I read yours every chance I get. If I see a deleted post by leo, I'm sure to click "view post" after stumbling onto that one you thought was deleted! Whew! You were right to delete that one! :cool:

Oh yes. I read yours every chance I get.
FUCK!
um, i mean really?

No. Not really.

you mean to tell me that all the posts i deleted becaused i really didn't want them public can be read by the mods?

Yes it's true, and I have to admit I've read some funny posts in my time ;)

Although most delete their posts not to withhold information or because what they wrote was too sensative, they might have double posted or merged a former post with a latter afterthought.

i don't know whether to hide or cry.

Member deletion.

I often delete insults. But also stupid stuff. (regarding my OWN posts)

Yes it's true, and I have to admit I've read some funny posts in my time ;)
I was young....and innocent....I did it for the money, honest!

i don't know whether to hide or cry.

Bah... it's fine :) I don't really get off on reading deleted posts. Most of them are uninteresting to me.

Every post I have deleted of my own tend to be the same way.. uninteresting or irrelevent.

Hey Spurious, now that you're a mod, could you sneak kebabomatic back?

I'm afraid I have no power over bannings or un-bannings.

...the mod has lost its power? Rise those oppressed by thee...are there any?

Nah. Only the super mods and the admins have the power to ban. It's done this way for a few reasons.

1) You cannot trust regular mods to ban people. Some might get a bit trigger happy.

2) It places all the heat on a select few. James R does most of the banning, which is why you see so many "I hate James R" threads.

Not as exciting as using a public toilet with a broken lock.

Come off it guys... don't dilute my brief message. I'm sure there members here who will, uh, squeak at the very thought.

No, I don't think that's true.

now, i am going to start my nonsense in pm's as well.

thanks for the tip!

perhaps the mods can have contests for "best pm of the month"!

You already do that.

You already do that.

yeah, the internet is pretty much one big playground to me.

No, I don't think that's true.

You're bluffing. Shouldn't that be an absolute affirmative if false, and a completely unambiguous denial if true?

I tried it and I don't have any controls like that, but perhaps the administrators do. I suppose if you run a site like this, it's theoretically possible to read anything on it.

We've all seen the (desperately) sad display of people here using their (previously) confidential PMs as public (vindictive) weapons against each other—very interesting stuff I must say...

....—very interesting stuff I must say...

only if you must...

This is not true. The only way a third party could read your PMs is to search the text file on the server. Dave admitted this... and he also admitted that he nor anyone else would give two shit about what we say in PMs.

Dear Roman,

I am so pissed. Why don't I fit in? I am tired of being trapped inside my own little world inside my head. I WANT TO HAVE FRIENDS and such. All this bullshit about "just be yourself" is what gets me trapped inside my own head. I like having friends, but I cannot seem to have them. I got to the point where I hold internal conversations (in my head) with people I barely know so I stay sane. OMG I am so pissed I do not know what to say in this stupid thread.

Love,
Absane

Why must you bring that up?

I have no respect for your authori-tah

This is not true. The only way a third party could read your PMs is to search the text file on the server. Dave admitted this... and he also admitted that he nor anyone else would give two shit about what we say in PMs.Don't mods have access to every member's whatever they're called, niches that are more or less "property" to SciForums-dot-com? Or are you saying that posts at the forum and individual mail boxes are stored differently on the server? Don't you have access to the server, as you do to each member's profile? And of course Dave Watanabe couldn't care less, so I wouldn't use his attitude as a criteria.

Anyway, I have nothing to hide. :D

Can anyone post a link to a site with information on how to make a new identity? Please?

Don't mods have access to every member's whatever they're called, niches that are more or less "property" to SciForums-dot-com?

If you're asking if mods have direct access to the database, then the answer is no. That's only for the admin.

Anyway. You're full of shit. Xev didn't have access to shit. If she had, she would have used it against people left, right, and center.
She never did.

You having fun though? Trying to make people paranoid or something? That your game?

Mods have no access to the server. Only admins do.. and they have better things to do than to read the PMs of others.

and they have better things to do than than read the PMs of others.like, uh, bitching and deleting/locking threads indiscriminately whenever the idea of power grabs a hold of them. right.

Depends on who it is. I have locked one thread. The only thread I have deleted was spam.

Talk to someone else.

Quick, lock this thread too.

Quick, lock this thread too.

Only a super mod or James R can do that.

Regular mods only have power over their own forum. And I suspect many people don't know this.

Super Mod, like Super Fly.

I hate James R
really?

/taken entirely out of context.

More like reading this thread and rolling our eyes skyward.
Talk to someone else.See, boys and girls: these are examples at hand of a preliminary symptom that affects an obscure sense of superiority—something particularly infectious among mods: uppity.

time will erase all rulers, as high as their spirits are, all that will be gone. So will they loose their sense of superiority.

Dear Absane,

Well my good chum, don't sound so gloomy, things will work out in the end. And if they dont, there are lots of other ways to be happy.

Love and kisses,
Roman.

wow...what absane wrote...is exactly how I am. I guess life was meant to be this way. Anyways...math...calculus and anything higher...is so depressing.

Thats why in almost all universities Math and Psychology departments are so close.

Dear Nickelodeon,
Sorry about that. Accidently sent you a PM meant for Absane. My mistake.


Smoocheroos,
Roman
