CF Reform being planned

[reformedfan]

Or maybe this is the majority of posters that don't have a problem cause they don't violate the rules ??
No one can safely deduce anything. It is all speculation.

I know many people here that have been here since CF started and have never gotten a edit request or anything. It all depends on how the member wants to post.

or how many busy bodies & tattle tales they attract the attention of. A reported post doesn't nec mean any rules have been broken, just that someone was offended. Some people are easily offended. These people should make use of their 'ignore user' option more than their 'report post' option.

Cupholders! Can we get cupholders?

For some reason, when I read this, it echoed through my head in the voice of ALF.

Just a simple point that adhering to the rules has benefits.
Such as no warnings, RFE's, etc. Right ??
None of this would be an issue then would it ??

I agree with this.



Hey, I have a hypothetical question. If someone logged in on CF as you while you were in class at school and broke some rules would you try your hardest to get those warnings taken away? And when they called you a liar because you have a sarcastic post style sometimes what would you do then? Don't bother trying to get a written petition from eye-witnesses. Cold hard facts just don't stand up against what one chooses to believe based on the past. There was evidence to be given. And did anyone care? Nope.

I honestly doubt that most people who appeal warnings think that they did actually break the rule. People appeal because they disagree with the assertion that they broke a certain rule.

Thats why you never write your ID and password down where it can be found. Prevents all these little hypothetical if's like these from happening.

Not true. A direct violation of a rule and an assertion of such are 2 different matters. Warnings are not issued based on assertions, They are based on fact.

Hypothetically...?

I'd say that members are responsible for the security of their user account, and should be held responsible for leaving it unsecured--either by faulty passwords or by leaving themselves logged on.

But I'm not really sure what this has to do with the thread.

The computers at school had faulty cookies.


There is plenty of other stuff off-topic and you say nothing to them. Does my whining bother you?

Sorry. I can't keep this in anymore. Nobody listens to me, and I'm sick of it. It seems like every time I open my mouth I get told to shut up, or that what I"m saying is useless. Don't you have any compassion? That person would've gone through great legnths to prove his or her innocence and nothing was done. Does anyone care anymore? Seriously. Or is this all just a game boost confidence by making people feel like hurting themselves?

i never wrote it down. Why must you always assume that I do such stupid things? The person left his or her name logged and knew nobody at school went to that particular forum.

Yes, there are folks that care, seriously.

That is why you LOGOUT when you are done and clear the cookies. That is also the reason I NEVER use a public computer. Covers your backside.

 

[Illuminatus]

That is also the reason I NEVER use a public computer.

Some people don't have that option.

 

[Alice the Sister]

Some people don't have that option.

 

[I'ddie4him]

Some people don't have that option.

Then they need to take the precautionary steps to prevent a hypothetical if like this. Not that hard to do.

 

[Alice the Sister]

Yes it is. Not when it's not your computer to change settings with.

 

[E-beth]

Not that this has anything to do with the OP, but I do recall someone a long time ago getting some warnings overturned because someone had trolled using their computer and account. I remember that it was very hard to prove, but since the poster had no staff actions previously, and was a respectful poster otherwise, it was not to hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Can we pleaseeee get back to the announcement now? I think the changes will be good, whatever they are.

this is an unhelpful attitude, this is why reforming the system is needed. I hope it resolves the major concerns.

All you have to do is click LOGOUT and clear cookies in the browser tool bar. 2 clicks are that hard to do ??

.

harder than giving them signed signature of about fifty people sayin he wasn't anywhere near the computer during the times specified on the warning?

Huh?
