Christophillis Forums Squadron Commander USA 688 Posts	Posted - 24 Aug 2003 : 21:29:25 Ok guys, this is getting out of hand. Im sure I speak for alot of the people who frequent these forums, when I say this: Keep Private Arguments/Flame Wars PRIVATE! I personally dont want to have to look at anymore of these flame topics. I for one will be enforcing alot tighter moderation of this kind of thing. If any topic has the beginnings of a flame, it will be locked/deleted, until I am overridden. -------------------- Christophillis- Portable Squadren Commander 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68k Macs Liberated: 6.02x10^23 Or just 6 Number One, you have the helm.

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 25 Aug 2003 : 18:38:41 Besides, outlawing all conversation that begins in AIM, is like outlawing almost all conversation... almost ALL of my good ideas come from AIM.

maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 25 Aug 2003 : 18:47:34 No Cory, they didnt say ALL conversation, just flame wars and stuff like that. Bona fide discussion about -stuff- that is carried over to the Forums (hacks and the like) is fine, its just flame wars and arguments and stuff.

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 25 Aug 2003 : 19:00:45 Penguin, was the one who suggested that all discussion that floats over from AIM, no matter how pertinent it be, be disallowed... I wouldn't mind believing, that this thread itself is even something that may have originated with an AIM conversation..

Christophillis Forums Squadron Commander USA 688 Posts	Posted - 26 Aug 2003 : 11:48:45 I wouldn't say that it originated with an aim conversation. But, my decision was greatly influenced by some of the stuff that has been going on. -------------------- Christophillis- Portable Squadren Commander 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68k Macs Liberated: 6.02x10^23 Or just 6 Number One, you have the helm.

Keep IM stuff and such private. I know this is the lounge, where lots of things go, but c'mon, there are often many a topic that do nothing but cause trouble. Well said, Da Penguin. If the topic is a thing, such your Mac, your bike, your school, your country, then please DO post it. If the topic is another member of the 68kMLA, what they said, what they did, or their personal habits, then please DON'T post it. We all know that people are not perfect, but publically posting one's private dealings with other people is very likely to bring out the imperfections in everyone.

Christophillis Forums Squadron Commander USA 688 Posts	Posted - 26 Aug 2003 : 13:50:54 If someone does get screwed out of a deal, then everyone should have a right to know who did the screwin' and why. I see no problems with that. It is almost like a user feedback. -------------------- Christophillis- Portable Squadren Commander 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68k Macs Liberated: 6.02x10^23 Or just 6 Number One, you have the helm.

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 27 Aug 2003 : 15:15:43 G4from128k read my post much more appropriately... This is one MAJOR reason I would love PM's on these boards. A lot of things aimed at just a few people could be easily taken care of via that. Remember, EVERYone reads these forums, and new comers don;t want to walk into flamebait and other nasties when looking for good ol 68k and mac oriented stuff, even in the lounge. ~The Penguin \| Want free 68kmla email?
