Keithambrose Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago 7 hours ago, Riobard said: It’s a free cuntry but let's be real. One person apparently predominantly enters 'beer bar' topics arbitrarily and somewhat geographically centric, approaching the level of board tradition, and there will inevitably be a 'red stripe' slashed through the practice by some that find the themes to be irrelevant. So who’s to stop somebody perpetually wielding on any one hill? But if a dozen more were to replicate the pattern, say, Brazilian Report articles and several more thematically centric posts but across a broad range of entry types to infinity the subforum would collapse under overwhelming mixology. What is not lost on me is that one person dictates content through which I must selectively wade and others dictate that such selectivity is everybody's prerogative. Two reaction categories can co-exist and no one preference can prevail. Not this hill. Translation please. floridarob 1 Quote

reader Posted 21 hours ago Author Posted 21 hours ago What @Riobard is suggesting is that members post overwhelming, inane messages in hopes of crashing the site and causing moderator to remove Beer Bar from forum. The above is a example of his method. bkkmfj2648, Riobard, vinapu and 1 other 1 1 2 Quote

The above is a sample of his method. I’m not suggesting that anybody should do anything. I’m merely agreeing that a monopolizer already endlessly posts random topics as if tossing a bunch of newspapers down the stairs and picking the headlines that showed most prominently on the landing, the result of the method is sedating, and there’s no point in attempting to undig that one insistent set of 👠 👠. One can consider giving a wide berth to the territorial girl that has nowhere else to squat. Let her stake the pioneering claim to her own Facebook page here since it’s mostly meta about the MO of posting anyway. Quote

Moses Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago @Reader is boring. The news he brings to the forum is selected biasedly: if he comes across a negative news item about Russians or Chinese, he will definitely bring it, because the news coincides with his opinion about Russians and Chinese. Quite a lot of the news he brings to the forum is copied from pathetic low-budget tabloid sheets and is not trustworthy. I have caught the Reader bringing here "news" from two years ago for the sake of a headline. BUT! This forum has an owner, administrators and moderators. And they are the ones who should determine the policy of desirable and undesirable content. The situation when one user tries to dictate what should or should not be published here is not normal. If a user believes that some content violates the forum rules, he should not play the part of a freelance policeman, but should use the forum function "Report" - the three dots in the upper right corner. Do you think the content is "wrong"? - press the "Report" button. *** When people try to tell me what I should do or not do, I always have 2 replies: Who are you to lecture me? Don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you where to go P.S. pic just for fun unicorn 1 Quote
Members unicorn Posted 13 hours ago Members Posted 13 hours ago I have to agree with Moses here. I must confess that I rarely read Reader's posts, but I was curious because this string had well over 100 views (most of his don't). At least the discussion is interesting, although the original post wasn't, at least not to me. I do wish that his posts would be of topics which could be of greater interest to more people. However, I never saw it as my role, or anyone else's, to tell him what he should or shouldn't post. Frankly, although I wish he would post more interesting stuff, I don't see a lot of other posters filling the void. Quote
a-447 Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago This discussion seems to be a storm in a teacup. Reader always titles his posts, so you can quickly see what they are about. If you are not interested in a topic you can quickly just keep scrolling. No need to "wade through" anything. reader 1 Quote
