Gillette, although your edit job is amusing...
On the other hand, I had already reported the post within its first minute. If we hadn't engaged in the banter, it probably could've just disappeared, and no one would've even known it was here, save, less than a handful of us. As I wrote, I get that people want the whole free speech idea to flourish here, but I just feel that there's a difference between an actual member voicing dissent, and someone random, who is just popping on here for a second, taking a textual dump, and then running away, leaving the rest of us to deal with the stinking pile.

Now I have questions about how much power Moderators have, for editing.

Do ALL of you have the ability to alter posts and subject lines, remove photos and links? Do you act independently or collectively? Do you consult with each other first and/or talk to an "Administrator" before hand?

Perhaps I've gone off topic, when actually, all I really want to do, is eat out Novice_Bottom's ass, but, it would be interesting to know how much access and ability the Moderators have here, as individuals, to completely change the point or subject of a person's post. I ask as, so obviously lately, many long-time and new members are questioning whether LPSG is a "democracy".

Hopefully, I won't be put on the LPSG "CO-INTEL-PRO" list for asking.

OK, on THIS note, I'm SO out of here. I can feel the conspiracy theorists, critics, and shit-stirrers just salivating at the thought of pouncing on this one. :rolleyes:

Even as lovely, and flattering as...
...actually, all I want to do, is eat out Novice_Bottom's ass...
may be, after the last couple of months here, I'm trying to stay in the Drama-free zone, as much as I can, anyway.

P.S. NOT saying you, or anyone else isn't free to ask, Onan. I'm just a bit burnt out on all of it lately.

Have a good night's sleep, Novice... I am not a conspiracy theorist, I don't have time for such things. My questions are completely legitimate, as an interested, caring party and as a paying member.

Whether or not this thread is deleted... because of Gillette's total reversal of it's OP's intent, it will have no meaning other than to those few of us that caught it early on... therefore no one has gained in our strive for understanding.

Now, I know, she can also completely alter my statements here with no one else knowing but her.

Isn't that of concern to you?

Arrrrrg, you're right. I AM lacking sleep, and apparently it's effecting my writing, so that my intention is being confused in several threads.

I did not say, or mean, that YOU were one of the theorist, or causing trouble, or anything else. What I meant, was that, as honest, legit, and possibly even needed, a question that you're asking may be, I just foresee it sparking OTHERS, who live for these openings, to jump in, and start grief for the entire site.

Whenever there is a mention of admin powers, general policy, or circumcision (cue dxjnorto and chico8, in 5, 4, 3...), it's usually the signal that the thread is about to get really ugly. :rolleyes: Just an observation. It was NOT, in ANY way, meant to be a jab at YOU.

Novice! I ORDER you to turn off your computer and go to sleep!

You have a plane to catch for Portland in the early afternoon. I'll be picking you up at PDX. Please do not wash your ass with soap before hand.

you REALLY should have just deleted the thread instead of of rewriting the original ranting hateful post into mush. It's a mess of confusion now, and no one will understand the nature of the responses slapping the OP down. Sigh. :rolleyes:

Oh, I think we are getting the general idea.....:tongue:

Let's grab her and give her a pink belly first, before she runs away. :tongue:

Perhaps a mega-wedgie as well? I understand it helps with bunched panties. :wink:

Aye. Too bad we can't send her a reverse virus where instead of the blue screen of death her computer plays an infinite loop of fudgepacking videos.

How come I never get the good viruses!! :mad:


Cripes......all I did was go to sleep for several hours. I always miss the fun stuff!!:biggrin1:

At least someone, sorta, agrees with me here... Because it's been completely edited by a Moderator, in a Oh-So-Funny-PC-Way, it's lost all meaning to the folks that wander into this and wonder what the issue is.

It's up to you, I guess, Gillette, are you now going to delete the entire thread so no one has any more questions about it?

Onan

PS: Rex? Is that what you meant by "Canadian"?

Sorry, Onan, I missed this when I went to bed. Yes, we can edit posts. I had assumed that you would all be able to read that it had been edited by me at the bottom of the post. If you can't that means my not so clever pun is lost. I did post in the thread that I was making the edit for clarity.

We need to be able to edit posts because of instances such as when underage nude pics of a certain actor with the initials D.R. are posted, we need to be able to remove them as soon as possible. We can see where and when a post has been edited by another and I can assure you that we police each other to prevent undue tampering. If I were to change the post of another without cause you would very likely see the word "banned" under my name by the following day.

Remember this thread would have been merely removed as we don't tolerate hate speech. I was hoping to keep the fun that had started going by tweaking a few words so that it could remain. And now it's raised an issue so I'll consider it a good thing.

I'm hoping that this doesn't become a huge argument again so I'll answer this from my own perspective rather than a voice representing the site. So, my unofficial answer is that LPSG is not a democracy. It is a privately owned website that is required to follow the laws governing it's operation in the district it is hosted. Because the site has paying members as well as members who support the site through contributions of content (posts, galleries) I would look at it as a business. From this perspective that makes us customer service representatives for the site. As a customer (user) of this site if you have concerns bring them forward. The site is slow, tell us. Certain functions aren't working, tell us. Member X is trolling, spamming or posting nudes of minors, tell us. Site performance goes to Rob_E. Forum and chat issues mods can respond to directly. If I see someone flooding the chat room with the same line so that no one else can post, that can be responded to immediately. Ditto for posting nude images of minors. Other issues can require fact finding missions and discussion before action, if any, is taken.

The moderators, from my understanding, were selected as a representative sample of the membership. Not a perfect sample, of course, as that would mean having at least one with photoshopped pics claiming an 18" dick. But we are members first. We're you, just standing on the other side of the counter. (with an employee discount card:wink:)

Have a good night's sleep, Novice... I am not a conspiracy theorist, I don't have time for such things. My questions are completely legitimate, as an interested, caring party and as a paying member.

It's a fair concern and I hope I've addressed it to your satisfaction.

Nope

I'm hoping it's more in reference to defusing a problem in a lighthearted manner. Hell, even heavy handed can be funny, did you see our Prime Minister grab an abusive loud mouth by the throat? Shocking but still pure comedy.

Thank you, Gillette! Yes you answered my questions to my satisfaction, and it is good to know more about the Moderators' work and powers here. I regret using the word "democracy", as I'm well aware that it is, after all a business.

I still think it would have interested people to see the kind of hate messages that come in and get people banned from the board. Especially as the original post was so pathetic and laughable!

I still remember most of it if anyone is interested. It was a rather pathetic homophobic X-tian female's drive by shitting sputtered with predictable errant spelling, spastic grammar, flaming CAPS and emphatic exclamation points!!! Almost formulaic. :tongue:

I don't want to restore the original just because it was so hateful but I can give you a handy key for translating.

Never in my life have I seen so many gorgeous guys and fabulous older women in one site. This is definetly the best site I've ever seen. Unless ur afraid of fabulous people. All you guys that say ur straight goin around on this site looking at other guys dicks. I love you!! Delete my account cause I'm not coming back on this wonderful site anymore. YOU ARE ALL GONNA GO TO HEAVEN FOR UR SIGNS!!! Backpackers!!

'Gorgeous' was originally a synonym for happy.
'Fabulous' was originally a word that rhymed with phat.
'Best" and 'love' and 'heaven' were originally their opposites.
'Wonderful was something else entirely, 'signs' had one less letter and it's safe to say there was no mention of backpacking in the original OP.

Hope this helps.
