General Discussion / What's the point of apologizing anyways?
« on: December 08, 2009, 02:17:50 am »

http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2007/04/27/send-etiquette-for-apologizing-in-an-email/


Why is it when if you said/did something you later regret and you try to humbly apologize to the *victim*  he/she shoves you aside and doesn't take notice and later considers you still rude if you attempt to further make contact?

I've seen this on all sides/angles but mostly people who are higher ranked/positioned seem to push people who apologize aside as trash even though the actual infraction was small something like a 'Misdemeanor* as a 'civil offense' on a forum.

What does it mean?

Seriously people aren't perfect and we have our days and I certainly try my best to get out of those moments instead of screaming and ranting/name calling with all caps......................LIKE THIS!!! :shock: :o     Doesn't that hurt your eyes?  :?

They are both just as likely, though the single universe theory seems simpler, therefore proving it by Occam's Razor. However, due to new work on string theory, as well as the big bang machine in Europe starting up again, we may soon have proof of a multiverse. Or we could create a point of supergravity, known as a blackhole, here on Earth and suck us all into hell.

I agree with you Irish Reaper about multi-universes as I have looked somoe stuff up even though I am not that advance in mathmatics.

Remember sometimes the simpilest speech is the best speech where the biggest speech can be the foolish speech making one seem smart when they are not.     

    Don't listen to the hidden trolls on here trying to clevery criticise your freedom of speech and I am not naming any names to protect privacy.

Internet threads that are cleverly designed to cause fanboy wars instead of actual discussion on products/intrests.

I absolutly hate it when I see a thread such as from Microbots saying  'Why Microsoft is da best!"  or Nintendromes shouting 'The Wii dosen't suck' when in reality it's wheather games suck not the hardware.

These days we got power-house gaming machines but not very much games that use creativity to the fullest.


I get so nervous that I don't have the heart to read past the third reply and get discouraged.

You know you spend too much time on Chrono Compendium when

1. You can't stop thinking/dreaming of getting the 1,000 post count on your avator.

2. You can't wait to be a mod so you can edit/lock topics for the slightest infraction even though in reality Moderators shouldn't just stick to playing 'Sherriff' according to blogs on how to run a successful forum.

3. You make topics similar to the one I just posted.  :P :oops: :picardno


Any other ideas and remember if it's naughty on the SNES it's naughty on the Compendiumtendo.  * Chrono Compendium*    Eh you get what I am saying right?  8)

What the hell. Not only did she LIE, but she gave us an assignment on freaking Thanksgiving.

I did not need this in that class. I'm doing crappy enough as it is.

Well she will get her jugement when after *The End Times*.    She has it coming to her for trying to ruin Thanksgiving for so many people.

It's not like it won't KILL anybody to not have homework on Thanksgiving.   

There is a time and place for everything.

Thanks for responding  I like your wording on things as it gives me more insights.

I want to know why most forums don't obey the *rules* of moderating?

vgmusic.com is such an example where the forums have a life-less feel to them and the mods don't really give a damn about how people are treated.

The FAQ's have a really snarky attitude which I feel should've been the first clue among many.

   * I'll spell it out for those who are too lazy and stupid to read properly*  :picardno    35 views and no response must mean people are too mental to get it.

Why can't all forums run professional like this one where you have topics that actualy have  a point A to Point B and the mods treat things with respect.


Another one that was debated on Topix.com was a discussion about CityData.com/forums and how people are banned for telling the truth even in a polite because it's ran by fake Real Estate people even though it's the most active forum for relocation topics/things.

The mods at CityData all act emo over the slightest criticism and the topics that exist are usually one-sided.

I find it amusing when forums/blogs are runned by either people who are retarded and don't know how to properly manage their blog or who are Facist and LOVE to edit the slightest comment.

So it sounds like making an archive won't encourage an author to return to their work.

It's only natural for an author of a fan fiction series to feel discourages when their stories are either:

a) on hiatus (mostly because of creative slumps or writer's block)
b) when no one else comments them on it (not even for constructive criticism)

If seeing great fan fiction stories is what you want, then perhaps us authors of such stories need to get out of the slumps and off of our blocks and get back into the fray.

No need for archives or a graveyard of any sort.  Such an incentive could get at least a few of us back to work to tickling the fancy of the readers.


What is the best tactics to encourage authors to return to their work without sounding like a know-it-all/demanding?

I've made the mistake of being a demander because I have been fed up with the system for so long now I just snapped and now I'll never get that author to finish her story.

I hate it when people *who are in the right* complain about Big Brother taking over and wish to leave the country but don't realize IT AIN'T BETTER ANYWHERE ELSE! which they are better off toughing it out and fighting for their rights  :o :shock: :picardno     

In fact if anything it's worse in other countries!

Here it's just a bunch of little brothers joining together a little at a time where we at least have a hue of the constitution left where most countries got nothing/zip.

Whatever the government says you do and here we can fight if we are smart enough and play our cards right. :roll:       You can't fight too soon and you can't fight too late.

I bolded a few important parts on this article from this website about moderating which so far Chrono Compenium gives tone number 1 which is a good thing.   No?

http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum103/336.htm

Moderating a forum is very important because the moderators and site staff basically set the tone of the community/forum.
Let me say this again, the moderators set the tone of the forum.

What is the tone? The tone is the feeling that your forum gives off. Some are warm and friendly, some feel professional, some feel like anarchy and others have no feeling at all.

The tone of your board is SO important because once the tone is set, the members and new members will be people of that flavor.

So how do you moderate without being a moderator? You moderate by setting an example.

I will give you 3 examples:

1) Webmaster World: This board feels professional, and very rich in trustworthy content. Why? The mods/owner are professionals. They contribute to the site useful information, and over time repeat visitors HAVE to have realized that what they say is credible and usually correct.

The members who post at Webmaster World generally present useful information or logical questions that can globally help the webmaster community. Same with responsive posts.

2) Board X: The board I am using here I will keep anonymous but I have watched it since its inception. The mods attack 'stupid' members...Even goto the length of drawing cartoons of them. The site admins remove people's posts without warning, ban people for saying something negative about their staff and finally edit posts. I am not talking about <snip here and <snip there>, I mean that user posts are actually changed to false information.

Now the resulting community that has come about after 4 years is exactly the same. They have been raised that way and will continue in those patterns. People who try to conduct biz on this board get flamed and its all together just a dramatic board.

Basically a community and forum are the product of the administrative team. Its almost like a baby that has to be raised a certain way so that it can mature on its own.

When moderating a forum one needs to think this way and understand that his or her actions are watched and will in some ways be repeated and used as an example for how to act.

Here are a few pointers that will REALLY help you put together an awesome group of people:

-Edit posts ONLY when 100% necessary. People do NOT like to have their things messed with.
-When you take an authoritative stance at someone, do NOT publicly ridicule them, but instead publicly express the act that is in violation. Then take the time to contact the member and explain the situation in a friendly tone. If the offense was critical then of course remove the person and posts.
-Give the members freedom. What does this mean? The environment of a forum should be open and allow members to express their points, no matter what it maybe.
-Listen to members and react to their feed back. It really shows that you care when you consider someone else’s idea and act on it.
-Use a filtering system to create NEW forums and expand the community reach. For example, look at how the forum Community Building area was developed. There were a lot of discussions popping up regarding forums, and BAM the area was created. When you do this it allows people to categorize their ideas and threads more accurately and shows that you are building the community and expanding.

If you have more, please add.



I have gone to Video Game Midi website   and they seem to be a mix/combination of  3 and 4 execpt the music composition section which the members their are decent and generaly get along with each other but the staff are another story and they seem to have a *yes* group with a staff buddie system :picardno

Can someone please set/ the Video Game Midi website *I am sure you know which one I am talking about* their priorities checked?

Their music wish request is a complete joke and chances are high you'll never get a reply which DIDN'T use to happen.

Sorry I even said anything then.  :(   So shoot me. :picardno

I was hoping it would work for someone with good reputation with the staff to contact them about the idea but let's get back to the harsh reality.

I've seen reviews where people go there and they say all the stories are crapolla so here is how to begin the spring cleaning for those who are new and want to navigate/scroll through the pages with pleasure and with a compass.


What do you Compendiums  think/consider if Fanfiction.net finally made a site where they move all the old/dead stories that are on there to an archive server in order to clear out unwanted crap?

       Including ones on Hiatus unless the author makes an update which then it will be moved back to the main server for everyone to see.    8)

I bet you the huge/number count story archives would be down by at least half then currently and this will just be the beginning of the spring cleaning. :shock:

IT'S PERFECT!!!  8) :D




Unfortunatly The Chrono Trigger/Cross section will be down/gone by more then half as most of the stories are either on hiatus or dead and then when the said authors decide to make an update the stories will be transferred back to the main site via archive staff/mods.


Right now the mods there are generally a joke and should not even be dealt with. :P  :( :picardno

If I knew a decent amount of HTML and had references to the staff there I'd try and do it myself but the people in charge are usually/mostly unreachable or act like robot mods when they are.

Disclaimer:   Please DO NOT use this as a VS thread!    I have lurked at other forums and anytime a VS thread pops up it usually results in an endless fight or people being sarcastic with each other and you wind up not knowing facts vs opinions. :picardno

Let's not get this thread shut down all right?





I use Internet Explorer mainly for flash/java activites as Firefox does NOT support Flash or Java I found out but it may be Vista since I haven't add any new drivers since I bought it.    

When I try to use Flash or Java on FireFox after I download it it says there is in error and I can't do anything.

I like how FireFox downloads work faster and FireFox doesn't hang/crash as much as Internet Explorer.   IE acts like it's still in beta mode.   :shock:   *axe falls on Triforce*   http://www.smileyhut.com/naughty/axe.gif
