I'm still operating on the old steam driven kit since the new laptop won't "play ball" unless I can persuade my brother in law to to work out what the problem is.<br />To be fair, he has done me a lot of favours regarding my ignorance of all things technical and sorted out my computer links which I could never have achieved.chekhovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579841013364541334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-84926773591304116772010-09-07T00:27:13.131+01:002010-09-07T00:27:13.131+01:00chekhov

Only two...How high should the bar be on moderation? Only two instances should merit it - outright libel and unqualified abuse. <br /><br />So "you're a cunt" should get deleted. <br /><br />"You're a cunt because..." shouldn't get deleted as long as it goes even half-way to establishing its case.<br /><br />A mod should be able to discriminate between calling the author into question and calling the article into question."You're fucking stupid" should be deleted. "Your article is fucking stupid" or "Your viewpoint is fucking stupid" shouldn't be.<br /><br />Nothing should be moderated because because its unpleasant but true. Pulling a number of out my arse just to contentious, if someone says that 90% of muggings in London are committed by black males, it might be an underpinning or justification for racism, the poster might be an obvious racist, but if it's factually correct, it stands. No exceptions.<br /><br />Nobody should be banned/premodded for complaining about a deletion. That puts a questioning of moderation judgement up there alongside outright abuse which, even to a 20-something Oxbridger in skinny jeans and on not very much money, should be an obvious nonsense.<br /><br />It seems to me that the more sensible starting point when a mod gets an itchy trigger finger is what disqualifies it from deletion, rather than what qualifies it. As more than a few people have pointed out, at the moment if you just report a post - any post - the mods just appear to delete without reading.<br /><br />My money's on no perceptible difference in the quality or frequency of modding. Natalie might be sincere and enthusiastic in her intentions, but she's basically got a bunch of monkeys being paid peanuts enforcing the policy. They'll delete according to their own prejudices.RapidEddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066395034929484320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-78829935269439978832010-09-06T23:42:07.047+01:002010-09-06T23:42:07.047+01:00cheers heyhabib, but got to go ta bed... anagrams ...cheers heyhabib, but got to go ta bed... anagrams ?<br /><br />Michael Gove = "I am an-ill tempered little duck-billed twat"Bitterweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290137850441509784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-7212342820376908502010-09-06T23:39:43.546+01:002010-09-06T23:39:43.546+01:00If hank's around, see there's been a big b...If hank's around, see there's been a big betting plunge on his man Paul Weller to win the Mercury prize (not that prizes mean a damn thing).

Shedload of money came in in one 90 minutes spell at the weekend.Nice if you got the big price.<br />Mind you having looked at the current odds, there's the most godawful overround with that book, in the region of 180%.
