Psychology Experiment

[Power Metal Dom]

Ahhh the influx of retarded unreg posts. How I missed thee.

Unfair moderation? On my interntes?! I refer to you this thread:

Like flames on fuel...upon metal I drool

Yes, I rather thought the same. I don't think foo's moderation is unfair - strict, but not unfair. I still think we should look for a different solution instead of any "drastic" action: that way foo (and others) don't have to deal with these kind of posts, and the psychologists (and anyone else) can have somewhere to promote their studies. A new "Ways to Make Money" board, perhaps? Something linked off the main page? But I forgot - this is the internet, where people come to complain mindlessly, doubly so here.

...then again, that is only my opinion.

Why is The Sinner allowing all these stupid unregistered posts through? They don't contribute to the discussion in any way.

[Senethro]

Remember that foo is the one letting those unreg posts through, and they do a pretty good job at showing that some people are idiots.

Therefore, I believe they were written by foo himself to make him look good.

Seriously, calling names is like secondary school level trolling and we're supposed to be a world class institution.

In this particular case it was me who let the posts through, although remember that 9 times out of 10 it won't be me.

I let them through because, although they are ill-structured and offensive, they are people's opinions on this discussion and the offense was aimed at me. I would not let through a similar unreg post aimed at another user.

In general I apply less strict rules to posts on a current thread than to those creating new threads. The reason for this is that new threads cause clutter on the board, whereas new posts don't. (unless its an ancient bump - none of those were me, except where they add to the discussion)

If you want to have your message board filled with cut and pasted messages such that you can't utilise the site for its intended purpose, let me know. I'll be happy to stop doing this job.

When the last session of abuse was hurled at me I ask Oli to remove me from the moderator list. He convinced me to stay on it because that would leave the sinner without an active moderator.

In reasoning over this, consider the fact that you very rarely see any of the work I do in ensuring this site is human readable and not filled with spam.

A moderator's job is thankless, yet important. If anyone wants to take my place, please e-mail admin@thesinner.net.

"The entirety of these definitions lie outside the gamut of the sRGB color space — such a pure color cannot be represented using RGB primaries. The color swatch to the right is a desaturated approximation, created by taking the centroid of the standard definition and moving it towards the D65 white point, until it meets the sRGB gamut triangle."

Thank you!

Thanks from me too! You should already know that I appreciate the work you put into the site to help keep it free from spam.

If any regular users are keen to help out, and step forward as moderators of the site, your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
