xxyzx and Morbius Spam Buttons Removed

Post by johnnygoodman » Mon Oct 16, 2017 11:47 am

Howdy,

xxyzx and Morbius no longer have spam button privileges on CPAPtalk.

Ideas should be worked out in thread, not through the spam button. The spam button is for things that are clearly commercial spam.

The mission of this forum is to help people with CPAP issues - peer to peer. The means we use to accomplish this is honoring the ideas of libertarianism and low censorship. These ideas are not proving to be self correcting. The level of discourse has more and more frequently degenerated into personal attacks. Quit it. Use respectful ideas to win. I'll sooner change the forums precepts than do harm to new CPAP users. We're nearing that point. Please change course or risk being the first act of a more involved CPAPtalk moderation team.

Johnny

Well then don't allow the insults, foul language and attacks anymore. To allow them to occur under the guise of "freedom of speech" is a lame excuse for laziness. Appoint some moderators to keep the board clean and flowing smoothly. You know tons of people have left because of the discord. If you are really interested in helping the CPAP Community then run a responsible board.

I have been picked on by several people since day one. Since this forum is not moderated, if removing spam buttons stops harrassment--I'm all for it.

Why wait till it worsens? I would love a moderation team. It seems like no matter what the post here, the comments almost immediately go off topic into squabbling.

Any Internet method of group communication (going back to BBSs) is going to have trolls, rude people, stupid people, and a whole bunch of good people.

The choices are to start banning the trolls, rude people, and stupid people, or to allow the good people to grow a bit thicker of a skin.

Words cannot physically hurt anyone and I would hate to see any group be run by folks with a "victim based" perception. Don't read it if it offends you and surely don't comment on it.

The only thing worse than having obnoxious people in a group is when yet another group starts acting like offended 5 year olds.

You would be doing your forum a service Mr. Goodman if you banned this individual. That I can tell you with a certainty. The amount of discord this guy sows is just unbelievable.

Wrong! Again and again.
Non-registered posters (aka "guests") don't have "Report Spam" buttons.
And, none of the rest of those folks want to risk having their privileges removed.

You keep trying to act like a knowledgeable person on so many issues, only to then post questions which only would come from a person who had no knowledge or experience about this therapy. That's truly frustrating for some of us.
You've been the one that keeps stirring the pot with your name-calling. STOP IT!

I REALLY DON'T want to see this forum moderated like some are. I'd rather see people suck it up and try to be better members.

Most of them had their buttons removed long ago. That is unless the also have alter Ids which may indeed be the case and part of the problem. Now that is something Johnny can work on to mellow things out.
Morbius hasn't been posting so is he posting under another name, is he xxxyzx or another regular here? Was Morbius part of that big SPAM attack? Is he trying to drive business to another site? Morbius probly has more IDs on this forum than anyone. What motivates a person to behave this way? What kind of disorder is it?

If it were moderated like most other forums, guests would not be allowed to post.

Looks like someone is spam removing stuff in this thread.
LSAT just posted this and now it is gone except I see in when I do the reply thing for viewing.
