I guess on a strict filosophical plane there are 4 types of them
The receivers that like to get said kisses,
The givers that like to give said kisses,
The Viewers that like to see the kissing,
and the ones Imagining any interaction with bottoms.

Most people know that each and every forum has guidelines/rules.
Why should this place be any different?

Because here we are going to do something different Stephen...
It is not the Mods vs the Community.. The Mods are Part of the community.

Wait until someone suggest out of nowhere that Mods in such an important forum for humanity should be elected by the community..

On a personal Note, we need to forget the incident that happened this weekend.
I suggest, One Thread was never posted, Your and My edits never happened...
We just only imagine they did, and what they could have caused... So we could ponder, If it was really worth it?

btw, "Crystal Clear" is REALLY a good piece of music. If you haven't listened to it yet, You owe it to yourself.

And eh, bottom kissing men.. Bend oooooh.. NM*

Finding safe places, information and resources for building communities, site suggestions.

if your going to narrow down whats aloud in general discussion to those few things perhaps you should change the name of that section. general discussion doesn't seem to be very general.

Hey I never said "bottom Kissing Men types"
Kissing a mans bottom is not something I would want to do but each to their own

I said bottom kissing yes men.

Carol I'll try to stick around to make you smile but I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before I fall in front of the moderators mighty ban button
Either that or they bring the subscription ban in and we all get banned

In that case, you can walk the plank from this ship of sanity on the net shivering in fear, or dance, jump and perform on it, like you don't fear to dissapear in the waves of bits...

Well either that, or your subscription will $10,000,000,000 A month and rising a couple of % a day. I think paypal and other electronic money transfer programs can handle such <electronic> amounts of fiat money. I would be more worried about to get that wheelbarrow of paper weight home each day after work.

Oh, I need a and a

That, is a very good point.

Lets see if the idea takes, its certainly worth thinking about.

Oh for goodness sake, these guys give me a laugh at times and I certainly darn well need a good laugh in this day and age. There not being overly nasty, critical or mean, lighten up Camelot for our God,s sake.

Just sit back - Take in several very deep breaths

Then just take a look at the Camelot Mission statement page !

Could well be the reason why most of us are here ?

and the Truth Is ? ? ? Out there somewhere ! We just have to keep on chipping away, I guess......The MODS and the ROCKERS...together !

Hiding is for wimps. I plan on sitting on the trampoline... or lying down on it under some blankets staring up at the stars. Life is good if we let it be.

Ahh Swanny, folks make assumptions and act on them as if their assumptions are real... subscription isn't even decided and if there is one pretty much everything will remain the same except for a special area for the subscribers.

As for falling in front of the mighty ban.. for the most part, it happens for a day or so.. except this automative system is doing strange things so who knows. Jenny is going on vacation for a month and we have new folks learning the ropes.

Seems to me your good to go for as long as you wish.

Thank you, Carol and other mods. I, for one, prefer a peaceful community!

If Avalon represents in a virtual sense some of the issues that will be raised in actual communities, then this has been a difficult but good lesson. Thank you for taking on this enormous house-cleaning task.

2nd this. . im sure when we get into communities or groups then the base politics will rear its ugly head till all get settled.. this is indeed good practice.. i feel calmer knowing someone is tightening the site up

i was starting to lose it a bit on occasion..

before I fall in front of the moderators mighty ban button

This is what it comes down to in my view and experience. I was personally beginning to find one or two others with a spirit of inspiration for true living, the seed of action on this forum. Some began to speak out something. Then all threads deleted and me and others banned and my pm banned. Luckily my ban was a break. A break from being naughty or something....I didn't think I was naughty just realistic as I could be.

This announcement was a result of one or two things. People leaving in disgust because of what I saw as new energy of the forum which seemed to conflict with the original standard and upset people the direction it was going in (which I found was getting more relevant to the actual description of the forums purpose) and others starting to rebel because of realizing censorship of this true direction.

I don't want to cause any fuss but that's how I see it. You always find one or two level headed people on these kinds of forums. When they start speaking together it's seen as dissent. They are like a needle in a haystack.

If I get banned or moderated for saying it, hey what can I say got to make my own forum to be on level playing field.

Most of the stuff posted doesn't interest me. I've found out General discussion is closely guarded because subjects that did interest me were more or less wiped clean. "cleaning the forum up".

It depends how you clean it up that determines it's direction. You can use the guidelines and justify but it all depends on who does the interpretation not on the guidelines themself that have the power to moderate.

Cheers

Hi Dean,

Try Off Topic in Camelot as that is where most of the threads are being moved to. Not gone, just being sorted into the forums that relates to them.

You can also go to your own home bio page and check your statistics to check and see if the thread has made it out of the review area as well. Just click on your name and it will take you there.

[Dean Plejaren]

Hello Carol.
I've searched for them they are definitely not avaliable from what I can see. I couldn't see any review threads in statistics. Everything got lost after the cleanup. Including people I was contacting at the time.

[Anchor]

Dean you raise a good point. Note what was said: "are being", not "have been". The process is on going. I am currently involved in the review of those threads we moved from the public forum.

To clarify, some threads are being marked for permenant deletion, other threads are slowly being repatriated in the most appropriate place on the forum. Personally, I have repatriated approximately 8 threads and marked over 40 for deletion - these threads will not come back into the forum, and the overall process is taking a lot of time and effort. In some threads, overtly argumentative and/or off-topic posts are sometimes being deleted before repatriation.

The goal of this forum remains as first stated in the OP. "Finding safe places, information and resources for building communities, site suggestions."

A..

Hi Dean,

If you remember the thread title, give it to me and I'll get if for you today. This goes for anyone wishing a particular thread they don't see and would like to see returned to the open forum sooner rather then later. Just PM me or post the thread title here and I will personally handle it.

[Carol]

Update 11/24/08

Over 400 thread were moved out of the Thread Review holding area to Camelot Off Topic Forum today. So please check there if you are looking for something and/or please use the search function. There were a few threads that I didn't have time to review yet but they should be in Off Topic in the next day or so.

In addition.. it's time to clean up the General Avalon Forum again only this time everything that is not in alignment with the Avalon Forum guidelines will me moved Camelot's Off Topic forum where we will sort the threads from there so that folks will have access to their threads during the sorting-out process.

If your thread is Avalon related it stays in the Avalon General Forum. Any thread that is not in alignment with the guidelines on the Avelon Forum will first be moved to the Project Camelot OFF TOPIC Forum.

Avalon General Discussion topics are to be on the following: Finding safe places, information and resources for building communities, site suggestions.

Thank your for your patience.
