Privacy concerns from [split] AF Hall of Shame (Post Edition)

I can appreciate why you would feel that way, and I also wish that things would progress faster and that something official would be stated, even while the issue is open.

However, there's a few things to keep in mind. We're in the middle of the holiday season, and people on staff are perhaps not as available as usual. In addition, the staff's physical locations span approximately 8 or 9 time zones from the west coast of the US to mainland Europe. Collaborating on an ad hoc basis under those conditions has it's challenges.

In fairness Tiberius did say we were discussing the situation and we are continuing to do so. I appreciate we've had a far from fast response to the rest of the forum on this issue but we are trying to get it all hashed out, which takes a fair bit of time.

Out of curiosity, do you guys discuss forum business on a separate part of the forum? or is there some sort of IM involved?
On another forum where I'm mod, we used to have a WLM group for the mods and it worked really well... until M$ decided to deprecate WLM and replace it with skype.... Sad
If you have some IM solution... care to share which one? Big Grin

We use a separate part of the forum.

True. I don't mind being complimented on mine but I don't want to be called one.

Thanks... that's what we use on the other forum,.... but it's slow as heck, and we're all in the same tiny european country, over there!

Well I still think lack of communication was the problem--all we got was LPs say on how the mods felt, plus Rayaans pm clipits and Jacobs sentiments that it was all over and he was leaving. Official motions should have taken effect, IMO. Then we wouldn't be here.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

We use a separate part of the forum.

Pidgin could work well for something like that.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It doesn't solve the problem of scheduling and time zone differences. We pretty much have to use a non-real time means of communication.

I considered it more of a commentary, really. On rasetsu's scale, being called a dick is like a 2. If she was really bashing fff, he'd still be feelin it tomorrow. I think we should all just kiss and make up Big Grin

Oh I agree. When I read that I thought she might be hot for him.
