Moderating the "Cool Stuff" thread
« on: January 17, 2005, 03:26:33 PM »
I think it's lame. 2 or 3 comments about a posted link is not out of line. Also, you should have said something about deleting them before you did, which would have prevented more comments.

maybe we should create a new thread called "Cool Stuff Found on the Internet with Commentary" where meta-cool stuff postings are allowed

that still sounds lame. Too much chatter I agree is over the edge, but I think it's out of line to make people find or even start another thread just to say anything.

Well I didn't complain about the page and a half of quiz results for what alignment you are - that's not a link and that wasn't deleted.

However, that policy needs to be updated -- any reference to ninja monkeys should result in a locked topic.

Perhaps not, but they won't have a venue in which to express it.

I want to go to the Sokol, and rummage around The Garage! I want to meet the Orange Peel that I left on the floor and  took the good part and walked out the door! I want to meet the guy who said AHHH! at the Catalyst, and the guy who invented the gun that shoots flowers!

Those are some awesome venues.

as the master of the ninja monkeys can UNlock topics, I expect the ninja monkeys have much opportunity to express displeasure.

As fuzzy pointed out, 2 or 3 comments about the posted links aren't getting deleted. It's the pointless drivel that bugs me.

This is a site for pointless drivel.
