PBH is funny

I have noticed for a long time. That when Gib or I are attacked on here nothing happens and the post is allowed to continue. But the moment we defend ourselves the post gets demoted to demote hell. I just wonder why that is.

I'll make you feel better by attacking Steve McClaren:

Steve McClaren you wanker go to hell you don't know what the hell you're doing and you have ruined the hopes and dreams of 48.000.000 people because you are clueless and there's no excuse for such ineptitude you failure bombast git.

I have to get that off my chest.

Hope it makes you feel better.

Nati, coincido con vos. El tema de los favoritos es algo que pasa en la mayoria de los foros. Acerca de tu deseo o lamento sobre no haber guardado los comentarios, tranquila que se pueden conseguir, a menos que los hayan eliminado o editado. Pero sino, vas al profile de los "favoritos" y tocas donde dice comments, y ahi estan uno a uno todos los posts que hizo esa persona.

Maninred, amigo...segui descargando la bronca, que te va hacer bien. Un abrazo.

Vischere, I hope you have an answer to your claim. The freedom of expression is one of the most important right and is protected by the Constitution.

john_stark says on Nov 21, 2007, 20:08:

I have often made the same point to the moderators, that they allow some people to say anything they want, even to making personal attacks but other people who are on their sh*t list, they delete constantly. Lisa Zee is one and Miquel Clavo is another - they can attack all they want and nothing ever happens to them. I say "Boo" in return and I get plastered.

Tinto (Moderator) says on Nov 21, 2007, 20:31:

Or... in the case of the demoted post Vic is referring to, this moderator didn't feel like spending time deleting 10 comments of childish back-and-forth from at least three participants, which would have resulted in 10 complaints along the lines of "why were my posts deleted," and then a resumption of the insult trading...so he decided to demote the post.

All the antagonists have been around for a while and know the rules but I will restate them anyway:

- be civil, even if you disagree with someone
- use the ignore button if you simply can't stand reading another person's comments
- if you are incapable of following the above and you insist on 'cyber stalking' someone on the site (following them around and adding numerous worthless comments right after they've written something), your account will be deleted.

"maybe they sense track records better than you are giving them credit for. It's like the better longterm pitcher in baseball getting the benefit of the doubt on calls from the umpire."

Excellent point Cdawg. I for one, was thoroughly enjoying the thread Vic is refering to, but I can see where the mods might have had to take action.

of course most taxis would jump for joy to rent out for the whole day...cause they get paid for being stopped when your are shopping or whatever ...usually you have to pay the driver lunch and maybe dinner...don't know in Bogotá but here its running 100,000 per day I would guess maybe 150,000 in Bogotá?

One final rule to add to Tinto's list.

If the moderators delete your post, don't repost it several times more. Defiance of the mods will result in your account being deleted quicker than you can say "my nmae is pow wow".

Unless we become part of the privilege list, our point of view will not be respected or edited (which for me is the same) I'd rather my post or my comment to be deleted than to be edited... unfortunatelly.

Man Tequila says on Nov 22, 2007, 07:07:

The moderators are thanklessly volunteering their time to look after a bunch of kindergarten squabbles, on a board that costs people nothing. I think they do a good job. I do not always agree with that they do. I would not want to do it, but if I did I would be firmer than they are. They're pretty laid back, and this thread would have been long gone on most other boards.

My advice? Suck it up and get a thicker skin. Ignore people if they bother you. Don't take what you read on a computer too seriously.

Colombiche says on Nov 22, 2007, 07:51:

I try to keep track of as many threads as I can, but frankly there are too many of them and there are certain things I don't see. I do this on my own time, while I work my 8 to 6 job.

Whenever I spot an open attack I delete it. Whenever I spot a comment too lewd I delete it as well, but with 60% of the stuff posted here being of a vulgar nature, it becomes difficult to zap everything. I try to be as much of a sport as I can.

There are members who complain of being constantly attacked but they also love dishing it out and attacking other people. You get what you give . You can't expect that you are going to walk around the playground instigating and then have a virtual mommy following you and fending off the bullies and cleaning up your mess 24-7's.

That being said, please work with us. If you guys get insulted and you notice the mods are not deleting it, please PM us, Peter, Tinto, Desi, myself, heck PM me, point to where the attack was and I will delete it right away. I have no interest in seeing PBH become a warzone. I don't see everything so help me out.

Thanks!

Billyb, sobre tu consulta acerca de que otras palabras se utilizan como sinonimo de bronca, bueno podes decir: Que bronca, estoy furioso, que rabia. Digamos que bronca, furia, rabia, ira, colera. Cualquiera de esas.

"the board can use more guys like you", gracias Nati ;) Yo me hago cargo del cumplido...dicen que somos arrogantes, bueno entonces a darles la razon...En lo que te pueda ayudar, a tu disposicion.
