Some Changes Need to be Made Here

As I wrote in the thread:
EFIKA and the "not publicly know OS"

====================
I just love how all coloured trolls are allowed to come and go as they please on AmigaWorld.Net


This really stinks, and has gone on for waaaaaayyy too. long.

From messages in their sigs, to their avatars, to their nicks, to their "From:"s, etc. etc.
====================


When is AmigaWorld.Net going to quit allowing deliberately controversial and provocative statements to be placed into all of the above????

Go to morphzone. Do WE behave like that????????????????????????????????????


They HAVE THEIR PLAYGROUND!!!!!

AOS4.x's is HERE!

If not here, then where? Give me an URL please.

I agree.

I think AW.net is in the same situation as amiga.org was a couple of years ago. When I found out about AW.net I left amiga.org. But now I feel the same as I did a couple of years ago and now I’m hoping to find a new “AW.net” that has the same philosophy as AW.net had when it was fresh. If I find it I will probably leave AW.net.

And you're going to clean the house now? Is this AtheistWorld.net now?

BTW you wrote:

I'm NOT a "masochist".



Just to put light on what you really said...

Absolutely true. The site currently is overcrowded with unrelated topics, something which made me visit less Amiga.org and now I visit much less than before AW.net as well.

@drHirudo/Atheist..

The majority voted on this long ago when one of the mods put up a poll. Guess what.. The "Trolls" won that poll. Where were all the people who are so against MOS talk then ?

@Atheist

Any sensible person would disagree with what you just asked for. If you want to ban a very small number of people for their misbehavior, then why don't you talk to the moderators instead of starting your own trolling thread, which is what THIS is. You are no better than them and any fair moderator would ban you along with them.

Five for fighting!

ps: I'm sending drHirudo to the penauly box as well.

Hi pixie,


Uuuhhh, yeah. I suppose that it's just hilarious that at least 2 people have avatars that read "Blue Troll" (and they are splashed across moderators' backdrops), and Darth_X who openly insulted Bill McEwen in his signature for a loooonnnggg spell?


Whhheeee.... come to AmigaWorld, anything goes!!!

That’s why Atheist is asking for an URL

That goes for me too. If we are the only OS4 people left here then where is the OS4 site.

URL please!

@fjudde

I have a bigger problem with most of Atheist postings as they seem far more aggressive and red vs blue warmongering then anything the blue side is doing.

Claim that the blue side is doing that on purpose fine. Don't take the bait.
Don't want to see MOS threads on the front page ? Don't post in them. No post no active topic no MOS topic on the front page. Easy huh ?

And don't respond to remarks you find trolling/offensive. PM a moderator. Submit a Abuse repport. Let them deal with it. If they agree whippee. If not bummer, better luck next time.

This thread is just as bad as what it's supposed to get rid of. Trolling. Fire with fire eh..

You don't know, but... 'trolling a troll isn't trolling'... in Atheist world that is...

Hi pixie,


No, I'm sorry pixie, but because of the way things are between our 2 groups, I see the moderator like avatars as insults.

@Atheist

And you can be wrong can't you? Are you grown up enough to assume that *sometimes* you can be wrong?

@Seer

Some of the polls you may be referring to.

One in April 2004 here

One in July 2005 here

and one in February 2006 here

Each poll seems to show that moderation is generally seen as good here, but the July 2005 poll seemed to be pretty spread across the board, leaning slightly towards 'happy families'.

Personally, I can see where Athiest is coming from. I for one, don't go to MOS sites, AROS sites, or any other sites for that matter. I come here because I want to see OS4 news. If I did go to a site for any of the above OS's, or any others for that matter, I certainly wouldn't use my time up causing unnecessary friction. My 2 stamps.

Hi Seer,

And if the state doesn't have the facilities to hold all the miscreants?

Execution, murder, almost the same thing. As long as it is real "justice" being delivered, good.


"Just like murdering a murderer isn't murder ?"
Yes, not necessarily.

Do you see AROS, UAE and MOS as part of the "amiga community" or not?

Seems to me you guys won the polls, so if the trolls are winning the polls.. who are the trolls?

I can agree to that. But.

I think that if you went to morhpzone and posted your opinion on OS4 vs MOS or about A1 hardware people there would be far more polite towards you then the level of politeness Atheist is showing them here. Even if you post the "Same" stuff there in every thread related to Peg hardware or MOS questions. (And that's the "real" problem I suppose, the "fact" that "blue" trolls show up posting "their" sollution to "our" problem)

Call it spammig the site with "unrelated" hardware like Pegasos and Efika, call it trolling. Attacking isn't the way to deal with that.

With that said. I should have ignored this thread in the first place.
