Raise up, ye heroes!

I have a very special announcement regarding the argument currently happening on Seattle's thread, but I don't want to hurt her or her sister so I will say it here.

I, for once, and it is very painful for me to say this, totally agree with MacRua. On this issue.

I don't mind kids posting stuff, ergo I have no problem with them posting in a thread that I don't visit.
What probably would cause an issue here - as it does in real life - is when kids 'encroach' into arrears that contain profanitys and everyone else is asked to 'tone it down' on account of children being present (like you get in pubs) and the 6 year old's are asking what does "Fucknuckle" mean?

"That's how your mother and I met."

Now that McRua is championing the unregistered, I make the following constructive remaks knowing that I have his full and certain support.

1. In my humble opinion (I'm not one for IMHO's), McRua, you are a shit stirring bollox, to put it mildly. He are an elected moderator here, with a mandate that has seemingly gone to his head.

2. McRua's attitude to contibutions from certain users, and treatment of same, borders on facism and as a result is nothing short of blatant bullying.

3. May I suggest a review of who moderates here. Maybe a new election. Having a Shane site did wonders for McRua's rep last time around. I'm pretty sure any new poll would result in an overwhelming rejection. Maybe McRua would do the honorable thing and withdraw his services, however, I doubt he has ever heard the word, let alone abided by it's principles.

America voted for change, how about Medusa follows suit? Lets have a poll. McCain/Palin = McRua/Zuzana anyone. Although the bitch in the latter partnership is a male.

So thats it. Thankfully, due to McRuas support and backing for the views of the minority here, my contructice critism will have his full backing.

Oirish, I usually have some sense of what you are on about but I don't have a clue this time.
What's the problem? Could you respond in short words and short sentences please? Pretend you're talking to a three year old eh?

[mike1]

I think I can make out the words and sentences, but like Soulfinger I have no idea what you are referring to?

- trash beeoin' toilerated, thats what oim talkoin' aboiut.
- so called "guests" jumpoin' ointo threads all oiver the place woith oinly purpoise - to oinsult.
- oi soimply doin't care oif tois' maccurrency, macdeputy oir any of theoir poiseurs behoind thois.
- these self-appointed admoins oinly knoiw to do "theoir joib" when oit coimes doiwn to censoirshoippoin', deletoin' legoitoimate messages, choippoin' oiff doiscussions & bannoin' regoistered & hoinoiurable members of the Foira.
- oinstead of beeoin' treated as spam oir at least alloiwoin' foie oiption agaoinst "guests", admoins actually proimoite trash and declare oit as legoitoimate, althoiugh tois' clear as day foir what they stand foir - persoinal attacks & oinsultoin'. trash beeoin' toilerated, thats whats doisgustoin'.

- oi doin't read any of the trash, but oif can be blessed woith usoin' foie oiption oin oirder to avoid woirthless surface textual rubboish froim oines who by pure statoistoical erroir goit oin boiard the wroing raft, then oi surely woiuld loike to have the very same same oiption foir so called "guests" and theoir poip-up ruboish oin froint of me eyes.

Keep Medusa clean !
Broing oiut the trash !

- I don't read any of the trash, but if [I] can be blessed with using [the] Foe option in order to avoid worthless [...] rubbish from ones who by pure statistical error got on board the wrong raft, then I surely would like to have the very same option for so called "guests"

The Foes feature, for whatever reason, does not appear to have an option to ignore Guest/Anonymous posts. I don't know why this was omitted, but I didn't write the software. They probably had some kind of reason.

Regardless, I figured out how to hack the database that records who you consider Foes and Friends. Guest/Anonymous is now hidden from your view.

You're welcome.

Thak you DZBabelfish. Much appreciated. I am still puzzled but now for different reasons. Does the person who starts a thread have first call on who is allowed to post on it? I'm off to find that "What jumper are you wearing right now?" thread to say bollocks to anyone who said fairisle or cableknit.

I'm not sure where you got that from. No, the creator of a thread has no more ability to determine who can reply within the thread than anybody else does.

[IrishRover]

Gooid.
