Started at 1st June 2010 07:42 AM by Especially Visit at http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=176940 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 1] Author : Especially Date : 1st June 2010 07:42 AM Thread Title : Why Is This Forum A Lunatic Asylum ? Why is this forum full of silly posters whose only function is to make stupid comments on important issues ? I have today alone received 4 infractions and had 5 of my posts altered/deleted and rubbished. By jumped up moderators who don't know how to tie their own shoelaces. Do they get brownie points and more 'education'. Like traffic cops ? Why is this, in fact, a cynical and sceptical rubbish dump ? A lunatic asylum where the moderators are free to delete, edit, alter, ban, impose their own rules at will. It's a farce. It's not 'education'. It's nonsense. And you are welcome to it. You belong here. And nowhere else. I have moved your thread to the area in Forum Management, where it seems to belong. If you are interested in having it moved to Forum Community, please let us know. This is not an Education topic. Thank you. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Author : Blue Mountain Date : 1st June 2010 07:46 AM It's an "asylum" because lunatics are free to come in and play, unhindered by the immediate bans they tend to acquire on internet sites with less lenient moderators. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Author : The Central Scrutinizer Date : 1st June 2010 07:57 AM Why is this forum full of silly posters whose only function is to make stupid comments on important issues ?

Especially, you're especially not very well known around here. Some of us have had exchanges with you, but not many. Have a stroll around the grounds and see how the other inmates are behaving - the ones who don't get their pudding and garden privileges taken away. (Oh, and the fact that there's a population of lunatics is one of the more endearing facts about the JREF Forums to many of us, so you're not going to get much sympathy there - you seem to say "Lunatic Asylum" like it's a bad thing.) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 8] Author : Agular Date : 1st June 2010 08:30 AM Some 'education'. I just came back and it's the same garbage all over again. It's pretty much always been that way here. You have to wade through the nitwit responses, moronic parody threads, thread derails caused by unfunny attempts at humor that are ignored by the moderators, and individuals who can easily get the answers to their questions by doing a simple Google search (Initials CC), but just want to boost their post count, the favoritism and cliquishness that is shown on any forum, etc. etc. Best bet? Liberal use of the Ignore feature. It really does help. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 9] Author : Agatha Date : 1st June 2010 08:31 AM If you don't like it (and you are on probation, so might consider treading a little carefully), the exit is the small cross at the top right of your screen. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 10] Author : kedo1981 Date : 1st June 2010 08:38 AM Some posters get pudding?

I protest!!!!!!!!!!! Kedo. Calm down. Didn't Doctor Maguire tell you not to throw your puzzle pieces like that? You don't want to go back to the bad place*, do you? You know that the doc said you'd have to go back there if you broke anything else. Now finish putting the puzzle pieces back in the box, m'kay? Big Nurse is watching and she'll report you to the doc if you're not good. *Yes.... the dreaded Humor Sub-Forum :jaw-dropp:jaw-dropp -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 12] Author : Foolmewunz Date : 1st June 2010 08:44 AM Some 'education'.

Althouth it is a complaint and was correctly moved here, there is no FM issue to address, so I'm closing the thread. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from JREF Forum (http://forums.randi.org) at 5th June 2010 04:25 PM.
