Derailing Posts and Whining about Nancy

[cachsux]

Ask Indecisi0n to help you understand.

That would be rim jobs.

Like the saying goes, even a blind man knows when the sun is shining. My observations were backed by experienced, full time drivers.

What is your position again?

 

[Squint]

Are you seriously saying that you don't think he embellishes his stories just a bit?

Why do you even care one way or the other? You just seem to irritate people just because you can.

Someone's ego doubled in size after seeing this thread title

bbsam,

I don't know the specific requirements or obligations set down for moderators on the BC but it is generally accepted that forum moderators have more responsibilities to an online community than you have stated above.

See the following link:

Hoax brought this to my attention. I don't know who wrote those moderator rules but I've been doing this since 1999 and also admin another fairly busy forum.

The author either has 1 fairly inactive forum or their world is like the following:


This is part of my response regarding those rules in our mod's private forum:

All threads should be kept on topic? That means that we have to read all the threads? That's not going to happen.

Maybe I'm just lazy, but keeping all the threads on topic on a forum that's this busy sounds like too much work. That and the fact that the terms have always said that we cannot be expected to read all of the content posted here.

Our staff does not review all of the content posted here. We rely on the members to report inappropriate content so that it can be reviewed by the moderators and appropriate action taken when necessary. Content will not be deleted or altered for the purpose of distorting the pattern of opinion in any given discussion. The sole purpose of content editing or deletion is to remove inappropriate content and enforce these Terms of Service and House Rules.

Maybe we could start a new thing where the thread starter can control their own thread. If someone starts a thread with "on topic" tag in the name of their thread then they can report off topic posts and we can move off topic posts into an off topic thread.

There was a techie forum that I frequented quite a while ago. Every time a thread would become more of a conversation and it would go "off topic" the admin would start deleting posts. That created a good catalog of targeted information but by eliminating all of the naturally evolving conversations there wasn't much of a sense of community

Cheryl, I like that idea. It is kind of disconcerting to go into a thread, and see your posts are gone, regardless of where they were directed.

Give it a try, and thanks for the forum.

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

Cheryl,

That seems like a very good idea.

I appreciate all you have done and still do with the BC.

Sincerely,

So, let me get this straight. Upstate starts a thread.....he has the power then to control it? He would not want anyone who didn't actually work at UPS be a poster in his controlled thread.
I see people going nuts with power and abusing it !!

Derailing is half of the fun!!

Compliments of worldwide:

Your best options are to actually talk to UPS and there are several ways to do this:

1-800-PICK-UPS

https://mobile.twitter.com/ups

https://www.facebook.com/ups

https://www.ups.com/upsemail/input?loc=en_US

This page is not UPS so you will get a range of opinions on a range of topics but no one will be able to take action on your package to help you.

sounds like something "Integrity" would post

You busy this Friday night?

Hey--my wifes even out of town.

Or, you could start a thread and control it. What's the problem?

The OP can request to remove posts that are "off-topic".
Don't be getting too many ideas on controlling posts.

Lucky you.

 

[MassWineGuy]

In another forum I belong to, the OP can request moderators to lock the thread. I think it's a good idea.

We do that as requested and even delete the thread from public view if requested.

 

[brownmonster]

Alrighty then.

 

[Anonymous 10]

Lucky you.

I'm a winner

Wow.
