A heads Up On Something That's Happening,

Besides it might well seem that some of you might well have had a problem with me at the site you have abandoned or have been exciled from? Just how would I know?

 

Flaming arrows might be a strong indicator.

 

Indeed that is so.

What I meant was how did you know what thread I was on which lead you to the chamber?

If you aren't logged in. You can not view threads which are in the chamber.

How did you know it was in the chamber?

Alani. I haven't logged into Historum for a while now and as the thread you're talking about is in the chamber or closed or whatever ? I have no way of reading it.

Even if I could read it. I probably would not be able to explain why you were suspended....Believe it or not, I never bothered to read the rules when I was an acting moderator and as there are a lot more rules now. I'd be completely clueless   

I have no intention of returning to Historum, so I'm afraid I can't help you with this.

 

 

This forum at its height outstripped Historum, the question is whether it can rise again. With the number of quality original and recent Historum members coming here some of whom as you well know were responsible for building Historum, further encouraging more of their old friends to join, there's a real chance what you say will happen.

 

Myself I have no gripe about what's happened at Historum or what it has recently become. It's a free forum, never look a gift horse in the mouth and if you don't like it the burden is on you to make something better, not to whinge. I think the owners of forum can do whatever they please with it, sometimes I see owners make dumb decisions, there choice, sometimes economic based decisions and sometimes very profound ones. It's up to them, as my opinion of them is up to me. As for the moderation policy, I'm oblivious to it, never read a rule on any forum I ever joined, never will and will post the same as ever till hell freezes over. If people like the way I post, so what, if they don't so what too. Just as how the owner run the forum it's none of my business,  the burden of action fall upon the staff to do something about it not me as what goes through my brain is none of their business, if they don't like it their problen, their burden to act, I'm not listening, I'm a posting constant.

 

Myself my main gripe about Historum nowadays is not ownership, moderation but membership, you bother to take the time to make a well researched post and 47 people reply within 4 mins making assinine comments not having even bothered to even read the OP. Why did I bother? It's become more like a social board than a history one. There's an intelligent post about Seppuku describing the nature and historical context of this ceremony. A load of people replied, swamping it with one sentence ignorance of  I'm against suicide it's morally wrong. What braindead morons. Do they even know what history is? I see these type of members increasing by the day and historians leaving.

Righty ho, then

Just for clarity, I would like to point out that my main gripe with any forum when it gets heavily populated, is the way they tend to close, remove threads whenever a troublesome troll enters the discussion. My view has always been that the troll should be removed or punished or whatever ?

The problem with closing or moving threads is that it encourages trolls rather than deterring them.

If someone dosen't like a topic, for whatever reason. They cause a bit of bother and a mod closes the thread.....Troll wins.

That's why I came up with the idea of the time out room.

As for the new admin at Historum. I wasn't a moderator when they arrived, so I can't really comment on how good or bad they are...

I was referring to other boards I used to participate in, but no longer do because they got so large they became de-personalized...

If I pm'd them and dictated to them how to run a their forum, they'd rightfully ignore it and delete it. If they pm me and tell me how to think, I'll rightfully do the same.
