In response to "well, unfortunatly, judging by recent events, some things are going to have to change." by groiny

the thing is, st is unable to police itself

Posted by tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) (aka Truman) Apr 17 '12, 08:16

it never has been, and things start to fester.

there are times when it does really seem like we need moderators.

i really dont know what the answer is, but just letting things be doesnt really seem to have helped.

we used to do a better job policing. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 08:17 34
- i'm not sure that has been true since ST started. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:22 33
  - Plus, I'm not sure what Bery or we should police here. - Inigo Apr 17, 08:28 2
    - honestly, i dont know - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:30
    - well, we see how well the pact worked, someone new just gets pulled into it. - groiny Apr 17, 08:30
  - ST doesn't need policing. It needs people to act like respectful individuals to each other - oblique Apr 17, 08:24 21
    - i couldnt agree more, but too many of these things have festered for far too long. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:29
    - well, good luck with that. - groiny Apr 17, 08:27 18
      - And no one has the respect of anyone in the mix, so really.....it's the answer. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 08:30
      - to each their own, but fundamentally, that's chicken and the egg problem - oblique Apr 17, 08:29 16
        
        I like you oblique, but this is bs. - groiny Apr 17, 08:32 15
        
        can i just say something - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:34 2
        
        because people are not held accountable. - groiny Apr 17, 08:35 1
        
        i hadnt really thought of that. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:38
        
        keeping to oneself != respect, imo -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:33 11
        
        i know what you are saying, but, if it's the best way to keep the peace for the common good, i would say that is a respectful move. -- nm - Andie Apr 17, 08:34 9
        
        It's semantics, I know. It keeps the peace and is a nice thing but it doesn't really solve anything - oblique Apr 17, 08:36 8
        
        the thing is you can't police how someone feels about something. only that person can. all anyone can do is control their own actions and feelings. - Andie Apr 17, 08:37 7
        
        I'm not really looking for policing options but as Spawn said, food for thought and hoping people can make those internal changes - oblique Apr 17, 08:40 2
        
        stop saying that, its making me hungry. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:41 1
        
        totally, what's for lunch today? -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:42
        
        true. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:40 3
        
        forced rolls might do the trick. - znufrii Apr 17, 08:46 2
        
        maybe, but how many times have seen see a fresh roll spoiled by spillover. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:48 1
        
        then you keep rolling it until whoever's involved gets the f*cking point. -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 08:52
        
        As I have said, I am *trying* to show some respect for ST. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:34
    - this. -- nm - decline Apr 17, 08:26
  - An alcohol ban on ST might be a good first step. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:23 7
    - That's just silly and downright unenforceable. -- nm - Inigo Apr 17, 08:29 1
      - As are anything this thread produces. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:30
    - *quits* -- nm - half of ST Apr 17, 08:24 4
      - At first it seems like that. But for example if you think about it, you never see drunk texty Dawson on ST. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:27 2
        
        to say that the majority of the issues are booze related posts is not accurate -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 08:29 1
        
        Historically, agreed. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:29
