If you're going to move a topic, ...please show us the courtesy of at least including a link to where you moved it.

Thank You

Which thread of yours did they move?

I made the same comment about the link when 240 was having issues with being bullied. One of my threads was moved today but a link was provided.

dear coug, if you're going to start a thread . . . don't.

LOL

Some of her threads are good, we all start bad threads sometimes. I can remember opening the General board and seeing 6 or 7 threads of yours in a row. It was like you went on a thread starting bender.

Actually effincardio, I was referring to your thread that he moved.
I wanted to see what others might have said, ...but it was moved and there was no link.
How difficult is it to put a link? The option is there automatically. It's just plain lazy & inconsiderate imo.
...either that, ...or he's holding a grudge that you got to the wierd sex story before him.  :P

Hmmm, I could have sworn there was a link. You're right, there isn't one.

He didn't do it for the 240 threads he moved either. I don't think the thread should have been moved but it's really not a big deal. If he wants to play nazi mod then feel free. It's interesting that none of the other mods have this issue though, that psycho jimmy idiot's threads notwithstanding.

what thread?

The one where that Reverend strangled himself in a wet suit with a big rubber dildo up his butt.  ;D

The general thrust of the post (pun intended) was about hypocrisy of authority figures, ...not religion,
so imo, it belonged on Political more so than Religion, ...but hey (http://www.jaguarenterprises.net/images/em/shrug.gif) ...could've left a link.

Is this a pattern of abusive behavior with that 'move' option?

what thread, subject, etc?

BB, what rule did she break that warranted the major move of deleting/moving a thread?  We have a small number of members here.  Removing a thread by one of them is a pretty big move.

Are you freakin kidding me??  Look, I merge threads every week on this board and move threads on occasion when they have absolutely nothing to do with politics. 

For example, I merged two last night, both of them duplicate threads, one involving a general criticizing Iraq and another involving Gore winning the Nobel prize.  I consider it a general clean up.  Do it all the time. 

Regarding the story about the pastor dying with the dildo up his butt, I couldn't give a rat's butt (so to speak) whether you want to keep on the Politics board.  The story has nothing to do with politics.  But if it's that important to you, either ask Stella to move it back from the Religion board or post it again, assuming Berserker or Ozmo believe it has some political angle (I don't).

That's not the point Berserker, and you know it.

...and as a matter of fact, ...it WAS difficult to find. It's only at the top of the board right now because my comment bumped it, but there has been a lot of discussion on the Religion board. All we're asking is the courtesy of a link when a topic is moved. It's not a federal case, no need to make it one, ...just a little moderator courtesy that every other mod on GetBig is able to muster.

I don't really care, it's posted where it was moved to.  A link is nice but hardly enough to spaz about if not present.  The story could have easily been kept here had you put the right angle on it so it's your fault it got moved.  It's a valid move.  Had you pointed out something of the reverend's political stance and hypocrisy of his autoerotic secrets I doubt it would have been moved.

It's common practice to leave a link when a thread is moved. You can dismiss it all you want but you only look like you're making excuses when you do. This is a board full of adults, we don't spam (except for Jag) and we don't overly flame. If you're going to move a thread at least leave a link, I said the same thing when 240 was getting bullied.

Then why didn't you move the thread? You posted in it before it was moved.

I know, and I'm not sure why he didn't leave the link.  I do know it's not worth getting bent out of shape over.  I would be more upset over no record of its move because then you might just think it got deleted.

No one is "spazzing out". A simple request was made to include a link in the future when items are moved.
YOU Berserker, are the ONLY one who appears to be spazzing out over this.

I don't know if it's just that you're having a bad day, ...or what, ...and quite frankly I don't care.
Just try to be a little more objective, and not so damned rude & defensive over what is clearly someone else fault.

Jag, you never really give insight or opinion so why do you care?  You either post a link/article, chime in like a lackey backing up certain people, or try to bait people into anger.  Is your last name Jackson or Sharpton?

As far as moving topics, this seems to be the only board where a mods actions get questioned non-stop.  Beserker is right in his support for BB's move and despite any one-on-one issues I have had with him, he and BB do a good job.

guys, there is actually very little deleting or moving in political.  We set it up to be that way and from what I can see it's still that way and that's the way I want it to be.  The other major forums on getbig do way more merging, deleting and moving by far.

Berserker and Ozmo both posted in it and didn't move it. It was moved to the Religious board to kill it.

I'm curious when is the last time those guys had any issues with moving threads? I can't quite remember anything other than that psycho Jimmy spamming the board with nonsense.

Is there any reason you're not addressing what I told you?  Whether you like it or not and no matter the motive, it's a valid move.  You can so easily remedy this with what I told you.  It's so easy.  Go to the thread, modify your original post adding the political angle.  Ask Stella to move your thread back and I bet you won't have a problem for one single second.  Had the political angle been posted, I would be siding against BB right now.

You still haven't told me why you posted in the thread instead of moving it. No offense but I find your fix to be absurd, a moron could see the political angle of the thread. Making me post one sentence is ridiculous. We are all adults and we're all able to debate without idiotic one line sentences designed to appease power hungry mods.

This board has always been open to great debates without the censoring, why change that now?

i don;t think I've ever actually moved a thread.  I've deleted quite a few though.   ;D

But really everyone.......


Chill out.   lay off the red bulls. 

Everything is going to be fine.  No need to make mountains out of mole hills.

I posted on that thread when it was on the religious board and i could care less if it was on either board. 

In reality it should have been on the pet board.

You know I respect your opinion so I'll let it go. Although I find it telling that neither Berserker or yourself either moved the thread or would have moved the thread. This board has always been well behaved and not overly modded, hopefully it will stay that way.

Also, why would that be an absurd fix?   I expect that even of myself!  As I told you, I am mindful when posting that the post be made in such a way the political angle is obvious to all.  When the forum first started, I had to really make sure of this.  Why on earth would that be hard to do :-\  Seems like an easy fix to me, it's not like anyone is asking you to lose a point.  It's not a "score" against you.  I would like to see the thread brought back.  If it happened to me, I would not in the least bit be put off and would have no problem adding a line pointing out the political hypocrisy of the incident and having Stella move it back.  In fact, you don't even have to do that if you don't want to!  BB said if you want to move it back to go ahead.  I  point out the fix to prevent future threads from being moved.  Not everyone is going to see what you and I do or 240 or whoever.  It's not a big request and it's fair.

OK, this will be my last post on the topic.

It's an absurd fix because anyone without an agenda could see the political side of the story. In fact you yourself saw it. Forcing me to change something in a thread that two mods had no problem with is ridiculous.

As I said, this has never been a board where the mods did much policing and because of that the board has thrived. In the last few weeks that has changed, I'm hoping it isn't a new agenda. Time will tell.

It's not a new agenda, I still think over policing kills the forum and should be kept to a min and just last week you saw me side on that matter.  Please keep in mind that there is more to making a political point than just appeasing BB or me.  It's also for the benefit/respect of the other forums like religious.  If we did not ask this of the people posting here, our mods would have no grounds in asking that political threads be moved here.  As a general rule of thumb, it would not hurt to post political angles when part of the topic has to do with another forum created for that area.  Such as a movie.  If I just up and post about V for Vendetta and said what a great movie and assumed people know why I think so, that's not fair to the Entertainment board.  So If I posted about V I would point out why or make some point that makes the posting in political obvious.
