Topic: Don't ever move threads to ESAD.

If any user wants a thread to be in ESAD, wouldn't they put it there in the first place?

Moving a thread there is a pretty clear way to say "Hey, I think this thread is retarded" without actually saying it, and is undermining of the original intent of the thread.


This forum is not at all busy enough to warrant any sort of moderation. Even all the junk threads I just made along with this one aren't going to harm anything, or take up any space that is really, honestly being used.


If a thread is in the wrong subforum and it should very obviously be somewhere else, that's fine - it's a clear cut case of being in the wrong place and should be relocated. But whoever the hell moved this - http://www.blizzpub.net/forums/topic/52237/    Seriously?



I guess the real thing to consider is, why do I even care? >_<

I would so move this to ESAD if I could.

Re: Don't ever move threads to ESAD.

I agree about the whole not moving to ESAD thing.  Thats something I argued for way back in the day, and the admins then even agreed with me (and the other people arguing for that policy), but somewhere along the line people just started doing it again.

Back in my day, us mods had rules but we didn't mind!  We followed them and then even made some more!  *grumble grumble*...uphill both ways...*grumble grumble*.

There's no structure in moderation anymore.

Which would be fine if there wasn't moderation.

But there is, and it's extremely counterproductive to the existence of the site.

We can't win.  The site sucks if we don't moderate it, it sucks if we do.  So what recourse do we have, without shutting down the site?   The current trifecta of crap with Errrrrrrrrr, LC, and Weavist just posting utter rubbish and Killgore just playing into them basically makes this site unreadable.   So I've been deleting posts which are trolls and flames, and when a thread was started with the entire point of being rubbish, it gets moved to ESAD.   Woz has been doing similar stuff, too.

I'm not still doing that, am I? I thought I was making progress =\

Back to therapy for me.

Well knows he who uses to consider, that our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion. Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in a perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition. A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the Assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.

Clearly, the only way to save BlizzPub is to ban darin.
