Re: Forum Moderation - Hugh Brechin - 21-06-2013 He did for some time, but I believe it's now defunct. Links to it don't lead anywhere any more, and apparently forums that are suspended for 25 days or over (the link's been down for longer than that) get deleted. I could easily be wrong, and it's definitely possible that Andy stored the data somewhere, but it's certainly not up in its original form. Re: Forum Moderation - David Deary - 21-06-2013 Ahhh well, I guess we'll never know definitively. Re: Forum Moderation - Andrew McHarg - 21-06-2013 The original intention was to get backups of the old forum database and populate the new forum database with them. From the old host there was a cost involved in getting those backups, and I think the decision at the time was that it wasn't worthwhile. It's a shame if the old forum was deleted by the host after a period of time. It would have been good to archive it somewhere on our website. Re: Forum Moderation - Phil Thomas - 21-06-2013 David Deary Wrote:Phil Thomas Wrote:David, David, I am not on trial here. Mainly because you are accusing me of things that are not a crime. Did my memory come up with the wrong answer this morning? Did I talk to the moderator rather than contact my accusers directly? As Jacqui wrtote late last night just be amazed that she and I still have the will to post. The right to self defense is a universal human right. That right does not get removed by a series of vicious attacks. Please explain to the chess world why you and your team mates at Greenwood find it so necessary to keep me off the notice board. Please try to do better than Pat McGoverns' attempt last December. I can't be bothered looking up the details I'm sure you guys have it on file. Re: Forum Moderation - David Deary - 21-06-2013 Phil, you don't half talk a load of tripe! I tried to engage you in a reasonable discussion and then you come out with nonsense like that... Congratulations you're now on my foes list. (For Andy McCulloch's benefit this means I don't have to read Phil's posts on the forum ever again! Woohoo! ) Re: Forum Moderation - David G Congalton - 21-06-2013 Phil Thomas Wrote:Please explain to the chess world why you and your team mates at Greenwood ... Whilst I accept Phil's statement may be factually correct, in that both David Deary and Pat McGovern are Greenwood players, I would like to refer the honourable gentleman to a response I gave some postings ago. Me Wrote:Hi Andy McCulloch, when you say "Greenwood all..", I play for Greenwood and was not aware that we were targeting anyone, other than possibly Kilmarnock for next seasons Ayrshire League title. By targeting the Greenwood Club you are targeting all it's players, regardless of which side of the debate they may or may not support. This only serves to unnecessarily antagonise. Re: Forum Moderation - Alan Jelfs - 22-06-2013 When moderators do delete posts, could they please at least leave some evidence of the fact in the thread, such as "Post by <so-and-so> deleted by Moderator" So those of us who read something one day then can't find it the next, do not have to question their eyesight/memory/sanity? Kind regards, Alan Jelfs Re: Forum Moderation - KevinCampbell - 25-06-2013 It seems that the most contributed to threads on here generally have very little to do with chess. At the end of the day, if people disagree with each other it's all good, but when people start falling out and having spats over a public forum what is the point? As to moderation, it is fair enough that anything insulting/ offensive/ inappropriate be removed. Any "flaming" should be deleted too. I don't know if any posts have been deleted which don't fit these categories, if this is the case then the mods would have there reasons. No biggy. They are doing it on a voluntary basis. It would be good to have a forum where people discussed chess, or whatever they wanted, bit of banter, in a good humoured way. If it's just all political and people having arguments (in an unconstructive manner)really there is no point to having a forum. Re: Forum Moderation - amuir - 25-06-2013 I have had a post removed now so I am going to lay off the controversial topics. The AGM is a suitable place to raise these issues. Re: Forum Moderation - Patrick McGovern - 25-06-2013 Golly gosh one has to be quick on here to read all the posts, I've missed another one! |
