baddessi: It wasnt meant as a bait towards you. I was only pointing out to Bry that both harley and yourself were monitoring the board, and it is your right as the moderators to run it the way you choose. If you do not think a subject is off topic then it is not his place to say anything, unless he thinks that you are not doing your job correctly by allowing the conversation to continue! So, he either overstepped his boundries as a global moderator or he thinks that you were not performing your duties well enough and had to step in to help you, its one or the other! But I can see that you have stepped in line, I am just curious why you waited for someone else to do it for you?

baddessi: I am very new to this site and only playing a few games but already i see people acting childish and trying to antagonize not only me but what looks like other prominent long term members too. This is rather embarassing for them and I hope they realize how they are perceived in the eyes of others.
*shakes head at the shame they must feel*

Czuch Chuckers: Czuck, since you brought my name into it here, I will point out on here rather than in PM that your post could be understood as a bait towards me.
Is it not you who made that suggestion? Not Bry.
I agree with Bry.
What started as a conversation about what happened on the board has been addressed, and now it seems to be moving into a more 'chatty' manner... more appropriate for GC. Please take it there and keep this board as it is intended to be "about Brainking, it's structures, features and future"

Bry: How is talking about members being effected by filthy posts on a public discussion board off topic?

Arent you overstepping your boundries, since individual board moderators are allowed to run their boards how they please, and it looks to me like they are watching this board right now? Or is Baddessi in line for a spanking from the globs for not doing her job correctly?

Wow... filth can be found everywhere you look, if someone finds something offensive on BK and are not seeing it anywhere else... then I must be crazy.

Now... oh, thanks Bry, as I wanted to say that this is a pointless topic, Bry pointed it out...

Thank You!

And this Board is not the board.

Please, can we cease this conversation, take private or to General Chat.

Thanks.

SafariGal: Just to clarify, for yourself and anyone else wondering what happened....he referred to another player on the site using the 'f' word and another word for rectum.
He was well out of order, but the situation was handled very well....end of story :o)

SafariGal: I can only send you what he sent to me and others in PMs.... maybe we need to have PMs eliminated as well? What if I had been a youth who received such a filthy private message???

Czuch Chuckers: It's part of real life too! A young innocent person could walk past some graffitti on a wall near where they live saying exactly the same thing!

It was handled very well, promptly & efficiently....end of subject, in my opinion

Get on with life :o)

Czuch Chuckers: are you suggesting that one person would not get to see this elsewhere on the internet? All I am trying to say is, lets not blow it out of proportion !!

btw I never saw the posts so I can only speculate. If you care to send me a copy I can at least make better judgement

SafariGal: He infected many public boards with his filth, and all it takes is for one innocent young person to be effected for it to be a bad thing....

Czuch Chuckers: there will ALWAYS be inappropriate stuff on the internet. I hope you are not going overboard in trying to describe the importance of one rogue poster on an indiscriminant little board such as this. Cmon now, lets not exagerate. People will start to think you are bi polar or something

SafariGal: Well, there are plenty of mighty people here who disagree with you.... This is a family site, and protecting the youth and the most sensitive of our membership is one of the top priorities! However, I believe this is a lofty goal, and can only be obtained by completely eliminating all public boards. Otherwise, we end up with what happened recently, where inappropriate material was on these boards allowing for the corruption of our youth and sensitive adult members!

Czuch Chuckers: robbing youth of their innocence? How can anything, no matter what, be really that bad on a tiny little message board such as this when we are exposed to beheadings and all other forms of cruelty in this world. All these boards are is just a bunch of harmless fun. Some men obviously go overboard to make up for small appendages , granted, but who cares, the joke is on them.

conxhans: that does seems strange that they can still invite you to a tournament, but you can always decline, and go to the tournaments link and choose the ones you want.

All in all, it's a fun site, and I love to see new users come here and learn the site and play.
To me, it's the most 'user friendly' site I've ever seen and for the most part, the friendliess,most helpful people I've come across at a game site.
Have fun and enjoy it : )))

rod03801: thanks .i didn`t think so. not posting to much .its hard to figure out exactly the purpose of this category. i guess whatever you wish to yak about.but its all disjointed . well i guess you have topost more regularly than i do ,to know whats going on. anyway thanks for the tip mook53lhd regards to nirvana,playbunny,1peter,+ et al wh have all been helpful at 1 time or another

baddessi: another thing is that blocked users stil can send you invites for tourneys, should not be possible as well. at least, if I read the text right :-))
The idea is a cute site, I just wanna play, I honestly don't have to win, oh, I'll try, but if not, no problem, whatsoever :-))

regards,

Hans

rod03801:

mook53lhd: Just so that people don't get the wrong impression from the other answer you got, the poster was shut off within 15 minutes. The boards were pretty much cleaned up within another 15/20 minutes. It is pretty doubtful that the youth of the world were all converging upon these particular boards at that particular time.
There really is no need for getting rid of the discussion boards. Don't worry.

CRY ME A RIVER: oh very good. Yes, you can look for tourneys with time control and also those with 'no days off'

baddessi: Also time control.Which i just found out.Playing a game with a long time player on this site.If this method was used in a tournament,there would be alot of time outs,and alot of very unhappy players

conxhans: thanks- very good point.
People should pay attention to the amount of times per move and also to check and see if an opponent is using 'auto-vacation' which can hold up games for a very long time as well.

conxhans:

sorry, i had used the name of the player involved. But important is that you get the message, if you want to play reasonably fast, just accept games for 1, 2 or 3 days maximum per move ....

mook53lhd: There was a lot deleted, but since it took so long to delete many of the offensive posts, many of our younger members and the sensitive adults have already been exposed and there is no turning back the clock from this type of mind numbing exposure, robing our youth of their innocence....

conxhans: 5 days is OK. There are some who take 14 days to move in 7-day-per-move games.

some players are a complete waste of time according to me. on my blocked users list. for a move in a game of ludo, she takes 5o days. one of us doesnt come from this planet, and it isnt me. So NEW USERS, be aware of the time-limits before accepting games.

best regards, and loads of nice games on brainking.

Hans, from benidorm.

mook53lhd: i am curious too. what happened that was so bad? this is only internet chat board cant be taken too seriously surely

Czuch Chuckers: what is exactly happening ,that would make you suggest a closing down of the boards. i follow the board .you don`t really have any subject line ,so i don`t post much. but i would like to know what the catastrophe is that would prompt your reaction. thank you mook53lhd

رضا: Maybe at least only one pawn account from any one IP address?

haha

furbster: O.K., O.K. . I take my suggestion back. Maybe Fencer should offer any new member an extra account himself

It's awkward to do it through ip addresses and such as family members for example, me and my mum and dad all play from the same computer.

baddessi: Well at least the chances are reduced!

رضا: I think he has, but people can go to a different ISP if they are desperate enough, can't they?
How can anyone control that?

رضا: I totally agree!!!

Czuch Chuckers: I guess Fencer should do something to prevent people from having duplicate accounts.

too late... the damage is done, and is irreversible! Maybe the discussion boards should be dis banned all together?

Too much spare time!

well done harley and rod and Bry

dctanglulae #26518 has foul language

The account has been pretty much disabled now.

Lamby: He has sent me about 20 pms before i blocked him LOL

Lamby: He can't PM any more either.

He has sent the same message in a PM to one of my friends aswell!!

We're working on it, he can't post any more, now we just tidy up :O)

Harley and Rod are online, I wrote to rod a bit ago about the sports board, and still nothing done there.

Andersp: Well I've just noticed the troublemaker and sent a message to the 3 online globs at the time. Only now have I come to read this board and undesrtand what is happening but I've already received a response from one of them

Harley is online too. Rod was too, the last time I checked and so was Bry.

رضا: Ive only seen one glob on line and he has been browsing main page last 30 minutes..
