Inappropriate comments and their removal

The way to go about it.

from WinCustomize Forums

Frequently a skin will attract 'the idiot element' and receive comments one would 'rather not' have.

With the size of the site it's nigh-on impossible for an admin to catch all of them in a timely fashion...so the trick is to email an admin/moderator for 'aisle cleanup', or if all else fails a quick 'request' for same on the Forum or IRC.

Once 'dealt with' the forum thread can be removed as well....problem solved.

What is less than 'successful' is to engage in boisterous banter with the 'problem' person as that only attracts more unwanted comment.

Some are definitely less adept at snuffing out these issues and actually do more harm than good.

Like grafitti, it's best 'cleaned' promptly....;)

 ShantyTowne  ...I think you are totally oblivious to the 'quality' of comments some people do receive...that warrants their removal.  Those you mention are tame....and the 'low Q' one is quite accurate.  There is a world of images to plagiarise out there for bootskins....and it is better to find ones that DO dither to 4bit well.

I believe you have 'another' task to complete.  It would be 'best' to deal with that one first rather than attempt to have me 'go figure'....

Please pardon me, and clue me in to my uncompleted task least it can be finished.

Also, about five weeks ago I got pissed and deleted a large portion of my library. I tried to put them back on, all on the same day. This amount of uploads grabbed your attention as a "Sea" of uploads and you didn't put half of them back in. Also, now you request that I put the links of origin with my uploads now.

How come it's not required from everyone else? My sweet Jesus man, you make me feel like an outcast. In fact, looking at all of the most recent bootskin arrivals(all with no links inserted) makes me feel targeted by your administration.

Well, hope I didn't get you all fired up.
And around these parts,"go figure" means to merely think about it for a spell. No disrespect intended, sir. Actually, I think you're sort of "cool" with your command of the English language.


Peace and Understanding..

You know the task to which he refers

Seriously, I'm clueless to this comment. I went back and put "3"'s on the ratings I slammed with "1"'s. The same records that brought this to your attention should reflect that I am now taskless. I apologize to any feelings I may have stepped upon.

ShantyTowne ...at last check, Fuzzy Logic found you had NOT 'corrected' your little 'error' entirely.

The 'apology' needs to be to each and every person whose works were impacted upon.

The last person who abused the rating system was removed from the site.  Something for you to ponder.

Well, I give up. I went to the three users I slammed and put three's on all their skins. So I don't know what else to do. Just give me the links and I'll be more than happy to comply.

 ShantyTowne ...the issue is that you are supposed to rate works with a considered opinion, and NOT to blanket-rate them '1' OR '3' OR even '5', for that matter.

Either way you affect them all inappropriately.

This is not about being 'more than happy to comply', it's about doing the RIGHT thing from the outset.

Whatever, this is NOT the place for your soul-seeking.  Email is the appropriate medium.

This thread is actually about "comment removal", so let's get back on topic.

This thread can get back on topic now as Mr ShantyTowne is no longer able to take part...

Yes, see #21 ....

People eventually have their cards marked.

Then it is up to them to determine their own future....

For me to make a derogatory or inappropriate comment/remark, I'd have to be mightily pissed off at someone who greatly offended me (a heat of the moment thing), but as I fail to see how on earth any artist/skinner on this site could offend anyone with their works, I could not possibly leave one and cannot understand why anyone else would
Shoot, we all have bad hair days (had quite a few of my own recently), but still, simple common courtesy/manners politeness costs nothing....just as it costs nothing if you have nothing nice to say and, therefore, should say nothing.

You can solve this kind of problem really easily. All you need to do is require all participants on the site to have a usb dongle attached to everyones chairs. When someone flames, any visitors that see the flame can press the "shock now" button and deliver a nice jolt to the flamer. If said flamer is not as his or her desk then the shock can be delivered on first key press when they get back

Just curious...could I say *#@&*%@* *@$%%^& +!@#*^&?+ and/or <@$^& *@#$?+=, or would it be removed?

Just asking cos I'm pent up with all sorts of negativity and have a nasty disposition right now, and want to know if I'm allowed to say stuff like that to get it off my chest. If not, then I'll go out in shed to shout, scream and swear until it's all out of my system.

Guess what I'm trying to say here is, there's ways to unload without being rude or offensive towards anyone.

You can say *#@&*%@* *@$%%^& +!@#*^&?+ , but I'm not sure if you can say 'dongle'...
