To Moderator: Perhaps we could get a "No link/URL included" reason

Posted: May 30, 2013

I'd prefer not to use the ad lib "OTHER" for this kind of issue.

Thanks in advance for your consideration of this matter.

[Edited]: Actually, never mind, oops, I see there already is an applicable reason at the very top: "Contains material that infringes on the intellectual property rights/copyrights"

I'll just go ahead and add "No link/URL" in the Additional Comments box for clarity then.

Who cares, just report it. No need to announce it here. - Besides

Nobody on this board is violating any laws.

Wrong. Lots of us care. See link for example of violation FYI. - ptiypasi

[ In Reply To ..]
No need to announce you disapprove of an appropriate concern by a poster.

Oh good grief, just report it if you are that concerned - Besides

[ In Reply To ..]
No need to announce to all you are going to report a post. Just report it. That is of course MHO.

Again, nobody is violating any laws. Now, what post was that that you reported?

I didn't report a post. Is it okay to cut and paste from a source without - a link? NO.

[ In Reply To ..]
Did you open the link in my post? The poster cut and pasted as if it was her/his own words, but it was not.

THAT is a violation.

******************************, and it's okay to cut and past and say, "this is how I feel," AND PROVIDE A LINK, but it is unlawful and a gross misrepresentation of intelligence to cut and paste and claim the words as your own.

Posting 101.

All you do is try to stir up trouble. Troll? - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
You know exactly where those sources came from because of my earlier link that started the whole thread.

Since when are you the board police? I thought the Moderator is the one to decide, not you..

One last thing...I don't know why you hate me, and I'm getting a wee bit tired of it....but because you keep following my posts shows me that I must be doing something right....stop reading my posts if you hate them so much. It's not that hard to do.

isn't that what you're doing? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You posted this same message earlier today, directed at another poster. Now you are targeting one of yesterday's posters with the same set of inferences - of hating you and following you around. Isn't that trolling?

http://general.mtstars.com/350249.html

No it's not. She is not the one doing the trolling - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
A troll is someone who follows someone all over the board stirring up trouble. Responding to trolls who are trolling is not trolling. Sometimes there are different trolls who need to read the message. But if you go by what you just wrote then you would be trolling, cos you keep following after her targeting her specifically.

you are making incorrect assumptions - nm

[ In Reply To ..]

No, my assessment is right on and the truth. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
She is not the one doing the trolling. Another poster is following her all over the place. Funny, we had about a week or two of great posts from Truthhurts without the troll following her all over. Maybe she was on vacation or something, but now she's back and she's going after Truthhurts with a vengeance. Like she's making up for missed time or something.

you are assuming - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
and jumping to the conclusion that one specific poster is harrassing another poster. You can't know that, and it's not an accusation anyone needs to be making.

I have seen it happen where I respond to an OP, and then a few others respond to the same OP, and then the OP rips my face off as if I am responsible for ALL the responses. It's just not reasonable. We all have to put our thinking caps on.

No, I'm following the threads - Pretty easy to do

[ In Reply To ..]
So you DO admit that a poster is harassing another poster. I do believe that is grounds to report.

Thanks for the clarification.

no, I do not admit that - lol

[ In Reply To ..]
I was describing the assumption being made. I see you raise the "grounds to report" flag. I don't play threatening little games, and I'm not going to help you play one either.

thumbs up for thinking caps - nm

[ In Reply To ..]

1. I do not read every post on this board so I did not see your - previous link

[ In Reply To ..]
2. If I was following you around I would have seen your previous link.

3. Everyone doesn't read every post either so it's best to be on the safe side and post links.

4. There was at least one other poster who pointed out you didn't post a link. Is that person also trolling you?

5. Why am I the bad guy when you are the one who didn't post the link?

6. I did not go on vacation. I did read and appreciate and "like" some of your previous posts and links.

7. Is there only one person who responds to your posts? How do you know it's me and how do you know I'm even the person to whom you are responding?

On another board I go to (where adults post), if you (sm) - Abby

[ In Reply To ..]
post more than 40 words of copyrighted material, it is against the law. No one seems to care about that here. I don't know why.

If a site offers any type of "share" function (MANY now do), - permission is granted. PERIOD. nm

[ In Reply To ..]
x

Oh good grief - PERIOD!

[ In Reply To ..]
See I can caps lock too. I can even spell out punctuation EXCLAMATION MARK!

After what was done to the Moderator after her last post - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
What makes you think she is even going to answer? You were all brutal to her and said things you shouldn't have and now you want something? I don't blame her if she doesn't answer.

Don't know why you are posting this here. If you don't like a post then just report it. It looks like reporting conservative posts is a hobby here. :-)

But hey, nice to know so many people are so concerned about breaking laws. LOL

well... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
at least the OP didn't make demands of the moderator that certain posts be removed because she didn't like them and didn't want them on the board. ;)

That's not what happened - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
The poster asked the moderator that when posts are deleted from the board that they not be brought back to the board. But then again, you already knew that.

I have to agree with that poster. Too bad he removed his post. He was right and should not have played his hand into other posters games. If a poster does not want their post up on the board and removes it, someone else should not put it back up again just because they can find it. In turn anyone caught doing that should have their post removed. Sounds like a reasonable request.

yes it is - (?)

[ In Reply To ..]

No it's not. Evidently you didn't read the threads - (!)

[ In Reply To ..]
I did. It was as I stated.

I'm not going to repost it, so - let's drop it

[ In Reply To ..]

In other words you are wrong and won't admit it so you don't want to discuss it - Okay by me

[ In Reply To ..]
I can provide proof.

no. I don't think we should go down this road. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
If you want to provide proof, that's your prerogative. If you want to put words in my mouth, that's you're prerogative.

I'm the originator of that post. Don't think you want to go down that road - The Sarge - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
If you do, I'm here, but I really don't think you want to go down that road. You're losing already.

Right. That's what I said - let's drop it

[ In Reply To ..]
Did you not read the post you responded to? What do you mean I'm "losing already"? I'm not trying to win anything. Why did you bring this up again? (http://general.mtstars.com/350271.html)

I'll go down that road - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You had an issue with this post:

http://general.mtstars.com/349864.html

And this post:

http://general.mtstars.com/349874.html

Which provided A LINK to a previous post of yours which was no longer visible on the board due to the original post that started the thread being removed.

Again... your post was not deleted. It was no longer visible on the board secondary to it being a response to a deleted post.

The second post above quoted 1 line from you because of a question she had for the moderator. Neither of the 2 posts copied your entire post word for word, saved it, waited for you to edit it, and then reposted it to get revenge.

If a poster wants to edit/delete their previous posts, it is up to that poster to be responsible to do so... not the moderator.... not everyone else on the board.

You finally did go and edit your post... but that wasn't enough. You complained openly to the moderator and made an unreasonable request to have any post removed if there was a link to a post that was contained in a deleted thread. Basically, you do not want other posters referencing something that can be found by using the search function on this board. That's unreasonable.

The point is... everyone here is responsible for managing their own posts. Just because a post higher up was deleted, that does not mean all the posts following were... they are just no longer visible on the board but available through the search function. No one deserves special treatment and special rules which will limit everyone's ability to look up and reference posts through a search. I think we're all adults here and capable of cleaning up after ourselves.

No... that's not what happened - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
See link to my explanation that appeared UNDER a post that was removed. It is no longer visible on the board, but SINCE IT WAS NOT DELETED, it's still available through the search function. If I do not want anyone reading it or linking it in future posts, it would be my responsibility to delete/edit it.

No one reposted anyone's post after it was deleted.

http://general.mtstars.com/350016.html

how can you tell the OP's party? - (none of this makes sense to me)

[ In Reply To ..]
What was done to the moderator? What does the OP have to do with reporting conservatives?

The OP didn't ask for an answer. The moderator doesn't have to respond to every single thing. I don't think it's fair fighting to assign divisive meanings to things.

I could tell by the post and especially... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
From the post:

It looks like reporting conservative posts is a hobby here. :-)

Doesn't sound like a liberal to me!!!

you have it backwards - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I was responding to this post: http://general.mtstars.com/350271.html

So was I. I don't believe any liberal would post: - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
"It looks like reporting conservative posts is a hobby here. :-)"

It's just another republican whining about someone reporting conservative posts.

a death in the family? My mom has gone to my sister's home on hospice and it is just a matter of time that she will pass. My mom has been the grandmother symbol for my child.

Why on top of the post about Romney's religion, sending it to the faith board? He is of a faith that has for years promoted prejudice nad all kinds of crazy stuff. Romney says his religion shaped him and made him what he is today. I think that makes his faith VERY relevant to the politics board. I think it's just as relevant as folks constantly saying Obama is a Muslim and arguing about that. Also, why was this post moved, but another left (see link) http://general.mtstars.com/31 ...

As there ar every few nays to this suggestion, I'm hoping for a vote to make this a new category. Everyone, not just MTs, are feeling the pinch nowadays.

If posters continue to call us Tbag, Tpub or whatever I say you allow us to call them Communitsts and Nazi's (at least that is more accurate). Many people are taking great joy in insulting conservatives by calling them Tbags, Tpubs or referring to conservatives as teabaggers (then acting innocent as if they didn't know this was insulting). This is not true. Not all conservatives belong to the tea party. They need to get it correct too. If they want to refer to ...
