Excerpt

[Lead Moderator]

One of the staff suggested yesterday that we give posting this report a try. Why not. This is a report of those threads pulled or restored yesterday. This does not include in it threads removed as the result of a returning bannee or troll being nuked.

If there are questions about these, I'll be glad to answer. I am not here 24/7 so don't be impatient if it takes a while for me to reply.

I'll use this opportunity to also talk about the effort that has been being made on the immigration threads to rein in the excesses. Simply put, there have been localized successes and some people have been helping out, but overall I can't say it has been a success. The threads are back to getting so bad that some are being backroomed or pulled, albeit at a lesser rate than before we started this effort. Unfortunately, we are starting to have people ask for their accounts to be deactivated because of the crap.

For those who have been helping, thanks. And I am going to continue for a few more days taking random threads on the topic and going through them to tell people when I think their posts were problematic- maybe we can get to the point where the backrooming of threads can stop totally. But right now if things continue, it is more likely that that will increase, not decrease.

Interesting, I was pinged to a "worthless" thread, does that make me an accomplice?

Thanks, I was just curious...

[snopercod]

You guys and gals should make twice what you are now getting ;-)

[Glenn]

Give it a rest, Lead Moderator. We know you are out there. No need to get "in our face" about it.

[Lazamataz]

Can you please make a Laz-Moderated category? Some of my funniest comments are the ones you guys moderate away! ;^)

[Lead Moderator]

Have a nice day Glenn!

[Lazamataz]

Give it a rest, Lead Moderator. We know you are out there. No need to get "in our face" about it.

TOTALLY the opposite intent. Their intent is to help us understand why certain threads went buhbye. I think this is a good service. It will help us spot trends. It's only intended to help the forum, Glenn.

[Lazamataz]

Have a nice day Glenn!

LOL! Don't make me come back there and zot yer a&&. ;^)

[Glenn]

Have a nice day Glenn!

Ignore me. I could care less. I know you are out there working tirelessly with only anecdotal appreciation to show for it. A "report" like this is an ego trip, IMHO. Carry on with it if it makes you feel better. I think a better thing to do is work in the shadows whilst doing your job. You know, be humble but firm.

That's nuthin'. Back in my more daring days, I wuz gonna post a thread with the title ! and NO body. I bet it would have been a 4,281 posr-thread, too, with most of the comments being about Mooses, Cheeses, or Bases Belonging to Us.

(Yes, I had more daring days than this once) =:^o

[Glenn]

Do we really want to see an instant replay of the trolls? Get it out of site (pun intended), out of mind and be done with it.

[Lead Moderator]

"Ignore me."

Oh, I do, even when I reply to you. Thanks for the tip though!

[Lazamataz]

I am still working on the concept of being wise by being silent. ;^)

[hellinahandcart]

This is a very good idea. It will cut down on a lot of manufactured mystery about why threads get pulled.

And who knew so many people were curious about Dean's wife? Sheesh.

[DainBramage]

? would have been a much more interesting thread.

[Lazamataz]

Do we really want to see an instant replay of the trolls?

Absolutely! We might be able to detect a pattern or see something worthwhile in such a summary.

Heck, they even have cameras in banks, I hear tell! ;^)
