Derailing Posts and Whining about Nancy

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!!

The reason I prefer non-employees refrain from posting in the operations forum is that they are normally not familiar with the terms and acronyms we use or the current atmosphere within the operations division and have little to nothing to add to the discussion there.
 
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.



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

Or just come to grips that you're neck deep in smart asses.

After almost 30 years of listening to SPORH and rolling COD's you don't think I didn't pick up a few terms? You are the only one who knows the secret codes ?....way to go Sky King !!

I think Integrity might be a woman?
She's wearing out the dislike button on this thread.
Bubblehead,

What is not to dislike about some of the comments that might be insulting to some of our female BC members or visitors?

There is place for comedy and sarcasm when talking about certain issues.

INHO this is one of those issues.

Hmmm ... I'm stumped.
Y'alls' little love spat can't actually be derailing a thread titled Derailing Threads.

Damn!

Bubblehead,

I am not going to get into a forum war of words that you have been in with others in the past I am not Tieguy.

I am not new here as you know and while my entire shtick may be a joke to you I think the joke may be more on you.

The punch line of the joke is that you have shared your feelings about my posts in the past (it has been a few years now) yet you have not put Integrity on your ignore list so that you don't have to subject yourself to Integrity.

I don't get it, but to each his own.

Sincerely,
I
 
This thread also needs the corresponding list of holidays we have ruined for the customer.

I don't and won't have an ignore list.
If I don't like what you say, I'll put it right back in your ear.
I can be as redundant as you are.
