Clearing up avalon

wow at the bans, scary

Carol · 11-10-2008, 12:44 AM

The first 44 threads have been moved. There are over 9 pages of threads to go through as the entire Avalon General Forum is being sorted out.

Please remember all of the missing threads are in the review section. Some of the threads are just fine as they stand but in the wrong sub-forum. It will take us a few days to sort this all out so please be patient.

Mahalo Nui Loa,

Carol

The only people I see being banned are those who communicate in an abusive, disresptful style. There may be things I have not seen. Often someone takes offense by misinterpretating the other's intent.

I don't see people being banned for disagreeing, but for the abusive manner in which they go about it. These are often (not always) the people that get banned from one discussion list or forum after another, and they never get it that it's not the ideas they present, but the personal attacks and choice of words, like "You are blind if you think that." You are ... is the hallmark of the personal attack. Try using I feel, or I think ...

Thank you to the mods for cleaning up the forum.

Having been a moderator in a large discussion group, I'm well aware of the far-out plots that some people ascribe to the moderators who volunteer their time to keep the list/forum from descending into a flaming war of words.

The key is respect. And do not slam the volunteer mods for doing their job.

I hope this helps explain it's not the ideas that get you banned, but the attitude.

Wow - You really know how to wield that broom, eh Carol?

All these conspiracy buffs can't see beyond their noses!

Great job.

30 more threads just moved to the Review Area.

sounds good to me!

where do you go to read or post stuff that isn't survival or gound crew oriented???

i live by the woods and know a lot of peeps that already for the past 40 yrs have lived in small communities that self sustain each other...these are wonderful things for sure!

i am here for the more spiritual posts rather than the survival issues stuff...does this mean that all of that stuff is now gone???

i surely do not want to disrespect anyone and i can find another forum i am sure that i can find info on spirituality,quantum physics, timewavs zero, 4d shift, etc etc etc....

just let me know!

thanx and om shanti!

i am sure you have a lot of work on your hands!

peace and love to you all....

THERE ARE MULTIPLE SUBFORUMS WITH ALL THE INFORMATION YOU ARE SEEKING, AS WELL AS THE CAMELOT FORUM WHICH ALSO HAS MULTIPLE SUBFORUMS.

Nicely put Heart and I'd agree that some firm application of rules at this point is no bad thing. The forum should be a place where something that is ultimately positive can grow (in my view). Even if some of the subject matter that is discussed is by its own nature negative in outlook.

I've not joined a forum before, so I'm slightly surprised that something so positive in aspiration as avalon can attract posts that are devisive as they have been.

I for one want to see positive change in our world for positive reasons. If that can't happen in electronic space with complete strangers, then it won't in real space with real people either.

Let's hope this clearout will mark a change in vibe too.

P.S. By real...I take it that you are all a figment of my infinite ego ;0)

this is great news. clean the house.

lotusflower · 11-10-2008, 02:37 AM

That answers my question about where my post went---but not the original question asked on my post..."If you were running for the presidency, how would you go about doing it?" Play the Game or have sign on your back saying "I am against TPTB"

ghglenn · 11-10-2008, 02:40 AM

Clean the House!!!

You have my blessings

On a more serious note, Thanks for your time.
I hope the result is a positive one.

Carol · 11-10-2008, 02:46 AM

Just a heads up, over 50% of the threads were moved and did not belong here. Others that remained still need sorting but I do not have the time to open several hundred threads to check on this.

If you truly would like to be part of the solution.. you can help by taking a look at what is left and let us know where you think the thread should be moved to.

At least now some of the Avalon info is more easily found. If you post a thread non-Avalon related, know it will be moved into the holding area until we have time to sort it all out.

We are currently short on mods and have a new team starting in the next few days.

Mahlo Nui Loa and thank you everyone for your support and help.

Carol
