Although gratuitous "warlike" format bashing clearly is unwelcome, I would expect informed, mature debate to be another thing entirely. This said, a major problem when endeavouring to keep the forums free of petty bickering is that there are often those who will drag a constructive debate right down into the gutter. Consequently, there comes a point when an adminstrative decision has to be made that, based on previous warnings to "play nice" constantly being ignored, particular topics are verboten. Just my two pennies. I don't tend to look into such threads/forums and doubtless nemein will clarify whether a decision has been made on format discussions in particular or just the ill-tempered ones. |
Re: The one and only "Why was this thread closed?" thread
As has been mentioned there are threads around in which varying views on formats are being discussed... I wouldn't call those "format wars" myself. To me a "format war" is more akin to troll posting. Make sense? Apologies for any confusion. If you look at the time my post was made, 2315, that was the quickest phrasing I could think of to shut down the thread in a way that would hopefully kill that type of thread/conversation ;)

Add "HICK by Andrea Portes (my wife)" from the movie section to this thread.

That one was at the request of the OP.
The OP should have no more 'rights' to a thread than you or I. If a post was offensive, remove the post and punish the wrongdoer, don't delete the entire thread. |

Complete bullcrap reason in my opinion.

What's funny is that there was nothing offensive at all. A publicity photo of a published author was posted, and somehow that triggered the complaint.

Actually, it isn't a publicity photo at all and Covenant likes to change the story on where he got the photo to suit his side of it. First he said he got it from myspace then in a private message he tells me he got it from a hubpages blog, then in a 3rd email he tells me he found it in a "google search". Basically Covenant is full of Sh!t
And I originally reported the post itself to be deleted, not the thread, but after I saw that thread basically going to crap I asked for it to be deleted. I'll post again when we actually have casting news and hopefully some dumb ass won't find it necessary to ask for pics of my wife and another dumb ass won't oblige him for a reason that is pointless and adds nothing to the thread except to give Covenant something to think about when he heads to the bathroom on yet another Saturday night he spends alone. And not really knowing the particulars, the three different answers given up there could all easily be correct on his part, and not anyone being full of crap. I googled, I googled and saw it on site x, I googled and saw it on site y. All correct even if I omit the 'i googled' sometimes. |

A google search for her name brings up her myspace page as the very first hit. :shrug:

Re: The one and only "Why was this thread closed?" thread
As the "dumbass who asked for pics of your wife", I must say that "pics?" replies to any time a poster mentions a female acquaintance -- wife, gf, coworker, sister, daughter, etc. -- are practically a way of life over here. It's harmless. And believe you me, compared to the rest of the Internet we're practically Shecky Greene. :shrug:

And it isn't like your wife isn't a public figure. She is an author and apparently an actress too, so is just a nature of the business that photos are going to be around the net. And those photos clearly were not personal.

And as to the source of the picture: The first time I googled her name and the book title as a web search I found the interview with the picture in question. Which is the img I linked in my post. I thought it may be from the book, but I wasn't sure. As it turns out the book cover is a head shot only. To prove a point I mentioned in a pm to Crow331 that the picture in question is the first one to come up on a google image search. I never posted anything from her myspace page, I simply mentioned in the thread and in a PM that she/he should lock down her myspace page access if she/he doesn't want people to have access to pictures of an even more personal nature than those in google images. Which I see is still wide open....-ohbfrank- |
Re: The one and only "Why was this thread closed?" thread
I've gotta imagine that this thread in feedback has caused more people to google Crow's wife than the original thread.
