TBCB Photos - OOTP Developments Forums There are tens of thousands of boxing photos in there. I had a huge collection myself and those that had been posted on the TBCB board were dis-organized and scattered. Several of us decided to clean up and organize the mess. The project turned into a white whale and only a few people were dumb enough to play Ahab to the bitter end. I'm one of those. Last edited by CONN CHRIS; 04-22-2009 at 11:56 AM. |

Hmmm - you said it, not me - How observant? Well, it's over 21,000 not just 11,000.

N00bs who act like people get treated like this: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...0-netbook.html N00bs who come in making arrogant demands or behaving badly in other ways get treated the same way that existing members who behave that way get treated. Creating a preferential class is inherently wrong and discriminatory, and will also encourage all manner of bad behavior in N00bs, because they will have read this and feel entitled and protected accordingly. This is the worst idea I have ever seen on this forum, and I have been here since there first was an OOTP forum, because it will directly and positively encourage bad behavior. Now we have Political Correctness, and a protected class who can behave badly at will. Worst idea ever.

They most certainly have not.

That's been the OOTP official standard response from official spokesmen to that question for years and years. No one is going to get into any trouble here for repeating it unless the mods have finally lost it completely.

I'm not addressing this to BruceM, but to the forum members at large, since I've seen this in another current thread:
Posts have numbers attached to them. When referencing posts, please mention the post number, not the page, and most particularly not the position on a page. Why? Because there are many possible settings for number of posts per page. Mine is set to 50, which means this thread is still on the first page, and BruceM is refering me to a page that doesn't exist. I have no way of knowing how many posts are on one of BruceM's (or knockahoma's, or RonCo's) pages, so I have no idea which posts he's trying to bring to my attention. On the other hand, the post numbers are universal, so if I refer someone to Post 33, he'll go to the same post I'm looking at. Simple and elegant. Quote:
"…we'd like to make a public request to the veterans of the forum to treat newcomers with respect. We're having all too many cases where new forum members feel attacked or belittled by aggressive forum vets." And later, "…we really can't afford to have new forum members getting a bad impression of OOTP because they were heckled on our forums for failing to use the search engine or asking a question deemed unimportant by forum vets." Those tend to put an impression in at least this reader's mind that new members ARE being singled out as a protected class. On the other hand, "So, effective immediately, we are asking ALL [emphasis added] forum members to follow that old adage, 'If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.'" seems to make clear that, while the impetus for the new rule is to protect new members, this 'no hunting' zone applies to even the oldest crustacean in the forest.

I don't get that impression at all, and maybe some other readers don't either. So your universal use of readers is wrong. Refer to yourself since that's the only one you can truely speak for. I don't see a lot of senior members speaking down to each other, but I do see senior members speaking down to new members. I think the rule is justified. I see it as they are trying to do something positive to improve the forum, not single anyone out as protected. If you see it that way, fine, that's your perception of it. Nitpicking at the wording isn't productive. Anyone who reads the rule hopefully will get the gist of its meaning - be nice; period. I don't think that's asking too much at all. Instead of trying to turn this into something it's not - namely saying it shows preferential treatment, try to apply the rule in general - be nice to all forum members, whether you agree with them or not. I'm guilty of that myself in the past and have been making a concerted effort to improve. I hope others will follow along the same path.

If a newcomer breaks a posting rule and the moderators are notified or see it the issue will be dealt with. This thread addresses the situation where newcomers are treated quite rudely by a forum vet with no other apparent rule broken. It leaves a poor impression which OOTP wishes to avoid. This creates no protected class; it merely addresses an issue that is important to the long-time community (based on the volume of post reporting that we have seen) and is also important to OOTP. |

This I agree with. What would be the alternative answer to that question? Since nobody but Markus knows, maybe just ignoring it and letting it fall of the page would seem less pitiful?
