The Thinking Space Room Problems

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn

I turned her logic against her to point out her childish behaviour. Then I get told by a moderator to behave better while the post I responded to didn't get reprimanded at all.

@NeoNeoNeoNeonPrune - Again I say it is more fruitful to focus on oneself than on the behaviors of others.

You replied: I turned her logic against her to point out her childish behaviour.

But why? Why "turn her logic against her"? Is this a contest? Why point out someone else's behavior and in so doing behave badly ourselves? Where's the value in that? How about demonstrating adult behavior?

Then I get told by a moderator to behave better while the post I responded to didn't get reprimanded at all.

Sounds like your plan to "turn" something "against" someone kind of backfired? Why does it matter if she got reprimanded?

How about trying to find constructive solutions to problems here and putting less energy into winning and argument or trying to make someone else look bad?

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn

Because it's the best way to get my point across. On top her first offense the only offense I made is just tit for tat.

Even if you disagree with me you still haven't shown any regret for the moderation in this situation or that you take my critique serious, which to me gives an impression that you are just here to put me down and defend Anamolia and don't really care about giving your honest opinion on Anamolia's moderation just now.

@NeoNeoNeoNeonPrune - As I responded before, I gave each of you a 'warning' so to speak. Because I edited a different post of Aly's, I felt it was redundant to comment again on this one, whereas I had not already sent a reminder to you. You are welcome to disagree with how I approached the situation, and if you would like to talk about it further, you can PM me directly.

@WilleZurMacht "tit for tat" is exactly my point. it is unproductive and goes nowhere.

conflict for its own sake is not the point of this site.

@Anomalia as far as I can tell explained her moderation just fine.

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn. Be good if you could take your own advice and be that example

@NeoNeoNeoNeonPrune - You can also notice that I edited one of her posts below for unsupportive comments. I didn't feel yours required editing/deleting, but felt it still warranted a reminder. No double standard, just me posting as I feel appropriate to keep tones civil so that we don't fall into nasty arguments or personal attacks down the line.

If you wish to discuss further, you are welcome to PM me.

Ah yes, one of the reasons I left the very room we are discussing...because people can't resist calling me childish....mmmm

"and it's against the rules"

Yeah if a site can't enforce its own rules it's a poorly managed site. Sure, continue joking about me. [edited by Anomalia for unsupportive content] That's why I'm here on this forum and not in that room anymore.

And I mean if jokes about specific members are considered okay then I guess I signed on to the wrong site. And the wrong damn planet lol

If you want a place where you expect everyone to be all tough and not sensitive, you can claim the rest of the entire, vast internet for that.

If you think joking at other members is something that should be ok, I suggest you take it up with the founder of the site. It would be interesting to see what he would have to say. Lol.

I mean, unless I missed the memo and somehow this site is owned by and run by the members of thinking space...who only come here to be entertained by people who are hurting and have been rejected by every other place of society.

I feel bad for any weak newcomer. I guess thinking space practices a little bit of social darwinism...tough it out or die.

Did tumblr and 4chan and reddit really get too boring for y'all? I'm really, really not understanding why people chose this site to get their thrills from.

@Alystem

I saw, yet you're not locked out of the discussion, my original account is.

I'd like an honest answer, i was being very polite.

I don't know what I'm answering since the posts were removed

@Alystem

Incredibly dishonest of the OP to warrant a discussion about what goes on in Thinking Space, just to censor when legitemate criticism to the statement is given.

I'm confused...

@Alystem

I am as well, i would like an explaination from whoever erased our comments.

I'm not entirely sure if it was intentional. If someone was "censoring", many of my more ...deserving...comments would have already been removed/modified by now. Idk. This site has so many glitches, I wouldnt even be surprised anymore if it was in fact just a glitch.

@SuperDuperBrutalityChan - OP can't delete posts. only forum mods and admins can.

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn I see, is it logged when someone actually "cleans up" a forum thread? i'd like to know, i didn't do anything wrong.

...which is why it might have been a mistake or glitch, because it makes no sense for those posts to have been deleted.

@Alystem

Doesn't hurt to check, it feels too specific to be just a glitch.

@SuperDuperBrutalityChan - logged in a sense. it's like journaled data so changes can be filled back.

whomever moderated the posts ought say why I believe. often the post is left but edited to remove unsupportive content.

not sure who's been modding around here today.

I have admin privilege but rarely use them, most often to fix a typo or two.

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn

Hmm, how does that explain that Alystem is fine, but PentagramSuperstarChan got locked out? very strange.

@SuperDuperBrutalityChan - I don't know how or whether an account was locked out but there is an antispam mechhanism on the forum and when a new account posts too many times too quickly it is treated like spam and removed.

This prevents ads for ugg boots or whatever from filling up the forums.

@SuperDuperBrutalityChan If I am not mistaken, when someone removes or edits a post, they are supposed to PM you or notify you in some way....so maybe it is a glitch.

@mscoxie

That is correct--this is the rule. Can you confirm this @MonBon?

There's a difference between lighthearted chat and picking on people.

And another thing, I didn't realize that the supportive nature that's encouraged on this site is supposed to be shut off once people enter a lighthearted room.

I guess I'm slow learner, derp!

And I mean its not like the other rooms have had much of a good reputation either. They're basically a watered down version of TS

Well, let the ship that is 7cups sink, like I've said before, I have no plans on going back into the group chats. I guess people will always be inclined to brush things off and turn the other way.

Keep trolling

And if you really want to deny that everyone's all buddy-buddy hive mind in there then fine. Not my loss. I'll just sit back and watch the wreckage from over here.

Not everyone needs a psychologist.

Some people just need a sense of belonging in this fcked up world.

I'm intrigued to know why my (As PentagramSuperstarChan) comments were removed?

Some of mine were removed too.

@Alystem - I suspect the initial posts got caught by the spam filter (new account that posts too much to forums gets posts deleted) and your replies went with them.

My account isn't new, I've been here for months and posted in the forums plenty of times...hm

@SuperDuperBrutalityChan @Alystem - I've addressed below the best I can without knowing exactly what was deleted.

Hi all,

I can't speak to why specific comments were removed as I didn't see them, but in general, our goal is not to delete unless a comment is wholly unsupportive (e.g., being abusive to another member with no other content). If points are being made, but with abusive language, comments may be edited to remove abusive content but leave the meaning behind the post.

I have made one edit in this thread, which was to remove the long tangent about 'Boo Hoo Hoo' because it was about 10 threads, all seemingly attacking different individuals or just expressing confusion as to what was going on with the 'joke' and it didn't add anything to the conversation. As I said, I can't speak to the other posts that have disappeared. If you remember any specifics, you're welcome to PM me directly and I'll let you know if I have thoughts on what may have happened.

In the meantime, I'll continue to follow this thread and ask that those who have been monitoring it be very careful about what you are editing or deleting. If you're not sure, you can always PM me first and I'm happy to take responsibility for it.

And a reminder to everyone - the forums are a great place to have discussion. We don't want to censor anyone's opinions as they are all valid, but please do remember to be respectful to each other when expressing them.

@Anomalia

Thank you for clarifying and explaining this!

@Laura @Anomalia - I don't think anyone moderated forum posts. I think one of the thread posters was in a new account and exceeded the number of posts in the amount of time new accounts are allowed to make (as a spam defense), triggering their deletion (they can be restored by asking @devTeam) along with any replies attached to them.

That's my working theory, anyway.
