Editing of live Feeds Posts.., whats your take
Turgon | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:10 am     First off id like to thank everyone for working so hard and sitting there typing for endless hours so we can all keep up to date. thank you, thank you. I do have one little complaint/question. Im wondering how you guys feel about posters editing what is said in the house. I dont think editing should be happening AT ALL. ok maybe i can understand the cuss words or whatever but, not posting something just because you find it offensive i think is going to far. After all if i get to sommthing that isnt my cup of tea ( like the marcellas sex talk ) ill scroll down. I just dont think it should be your job to police everyone, post it and let people make the decision on their own what they want to read. just curious how others feel about this im sure this has been discussed before. thanks again everyone |
Gina8642 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:19 am     Well, I don't think it's our obligation to type up stuff we find distastful. If they want to bash Gerry, they can. I don't have to type it. |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:21 am     I agree with Gina. I don't think it's truly necessary to include the graphic descriptions of the HGs various sex acts. A general statement as to what is being discussed is sufficient for me. I do not feel that I have a prurient need to read all the detailz; if I did, I'd subscribe to the live feeds myself this year. |
Lauram | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:24 am     Turgon: There was a lengthy discussion on this subject a couple of weeks ago, and if I was any good at searching I would direct you. But I'm not so I won't. Anyway I think that it is so difficult to actually listen to these foul mouth HGs, that it would be above and beyond the call of duty to ask LF poster to transcribe their actual words. We all know what horrible language this group of HG's uses, we dont need to ask anyone to actually type their words unedited. (Plus I don't know that I actually want to constantly read or hear the details of their various behaviors or positions) |
Ellenkats | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:27 am     I don't expect anyone to type out graphic gross stuff either. Though I do appreciate someone mentioning that such a conversation was taking place while not sharing details. |
Tweepee | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:27 am     I wouldn't care if it were up to each LFP and what he or she is comfortable typing. What I would dislike is if there were RULES that you had to edit. We all hear the HGs swear day and in out, so I wouldn't understand the logic of not being allowed to see the same words in print. |
Countrymeadow | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:32 am     I believe it would be almost impossible to transcribe word for word the conversations that go on in that house. First off, being an adult, I dont feel the need to read about every graphic detail of Chiara's sex life. I change the feed when she starts babbling about her escapades. Why would I then want to read it word for word? The feeds aren't being policed. If a poster doesn't feel comfortable in typing word for word, then they will make that comment. It doesn't change the outcome of the game or my perception of it by leaving out insignificant conversations. The posters here do an EXCELLENT job and if they have to PP occasionally I don't have a problem with that. |
Off2cthwizrd | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:32 am     I personally am thankful that those people who DO take the time to do the live feed posts do them. I can't type NEAR fast enough to keep up or I would try, too. (Heck, I have trouble just trying to keep up with LISTENING to the houseguests and follow what they are talking about. ) BUT, I would be one of those that would NOT type things that I was uncomfortable with. (In other words, there would be very little descriptive sex talk in my posts either.) I don't think anyone edits so that OTHERS won't read the "junk" parts - I think they are making a choice for themselves...which I applaud. No offense intended, Turgon, but just as you make the point that you can "scroll down" if you don't want to read something, the LFPer's have the right to "not type" when they choose to as well. They don't get paid to do that for us - they do it cause they want to - it is their choice. There seems to be a shortage of live feed posters this year. Do you think that posts like this may be why? Ok, I'm off my soapbox. But one more thing...isn't there a specific place for LFP discussion? Thanks to all the live feed posters - your efforts are appreciated no matter what you choose to include or exclude! |
Crazydog | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:49 am     Turgon, I love this board, but when I recapped live feeds I found it hard to limit my comments to only what was happening. E.g. whenever I saw Gerry waddling around in his dirty thank a teacher shirt I couldn't help but comment on it. This board does not approve of recapper injected commentary. Also this board seems to be a little prudish and I know many of the members here don't want to read about all the sex talk. So I posted my recaps here: Another recap site This site is the pretty much the recap site of Television Without Pity, which took their recaps off their board because of server problems. The people there pretty much recap everything, including graphic talk. Hope this helps. I read recaps on both sites for completeness. |
Whit4you | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:38 am     Well ya we had a in depth discussion about this 2 or 3 weeks ago would be nice if anyone knew where to find it...I wrote up a very lengthy answer there so will skip that here.. just intersting to see *this* time the orignal poster didn't get jumnped on by the masses, she musta worded it slightly different so it didn't appear we LFP'ers needed defending this time hehe. Anyways anyone got that link....save us the trouble of 're-explaining' it |
Auntiedotcom | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:01 am     if you don't like the way the LFP people post, then pay real.com the bucks and get the live feeds yourself. it is very difficult to do the live feed transcripts, sometimes it is mind-numbingly boring, other times they are talking too fast to get all the convo. plus, most of us have a life! this is a VOLUNTEER position. we pay the money and then offer our time to let the rest of you get the goods for free. if i choose to say personal parts instead of dick, or don't bother to rehash a sentence that is being repeated ad infinitum by someone - with a note - "repeat of previous rehash" or something like that, what are you going to do? fire me? lol! |
Minkster1973 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:02 am     I've stated on several threads now how much I appreciate the time that posters put into keeping me up to the minute on what's happening in the house. I definitely cannot say it enough. However....don't you hate that???......this morning when I came to work and was reading about Gerry, Lisa and Roddy sitting out looking at the sky last night, I felt there was a lot of opinion in those posts about how Roddy and Lisa were looking at each other. I cannot read people's minds and I don't believe that the posters can either. Blah blah blah....I don't want to be a whiner, I'm just saying that you should leave out what you don't feel comfortable reporting, but maybe the personal opinions and mind reading should be kept to a minimum as well. Just an opinion...please don't attack me! |
Turgon | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:03 am     wow this filled up quick., thanks for all the responses. i didnt want to start anything, i was just curious what the sentiment was out there. thanks everybody i just want to reinerate that i love all the LFPosters i dunno what i would do without this place. thanks again |
Ravenly | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:16 am     I would like to add that I do not think anyone has much of a right to complain about a wonderful service that is FREE and enables me to put my 25 bucks elsewhere while someone else pays for it and gives me the low down inside the house. I am extremely grateful for those lfps, and could not even imagine bringing up the tiniest complaint to any live feed poster. They are doing us a FREE service while THEY shuck out the bucks. I also don't think we should "expect" them to have lfp's 24/7 or get irritated because there hasn't been an update in awhile. I am extremely grateful for every update adn do not feel I have a right to tell someone else that they need post MY way. Auntiedotcom pretty much summed up the rest of what I was thinking/feelign at the time. I would also like to tell the live feed posters thanks a MILLION and I am very appreciative of every single update adn I think you are doing a *perfect* job |
Moderator | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:28 am     If you have any questions or comments pertaining to live feeds please post here : Live Feeds Suggestions/Comments closing thread (cw) ---------------------------------------------------- I wasn' the moderator (above) that closed this but I am sneaking in this post to re-post the 'general guidelines' that are listed in the LFP area. I appreciate every Live Feed Poster, and I know 99.9% of the folks that read this site do as well This post is located HERE : Want to post?? Please read!! -Ryn First of all THANKS for your interest in posting to this area, or for your wanting to read the posts. This area took on a life of its own a couple of weeks into the first US show in 2000 and was/is amazingly popular!!! Everyone that watches the live feed is encouraged to post the details of what is going on but PLEASE keep these things in mind when posting. Why do you want to post here? The reason should be because you want to help others that want to keep tabs on the show when they are unable to watch. If you find yourself posting comments every time you post (eg: Calling the HG's names, inserting your opinions), then maybe you would be better suited writing in the General Discussion area where others can discuss a specific incident. Its not fair to impart your feeling about a particular HG here. To quote our wonderful admin from the 2000 round of Big Brother, "The idea behind this place is to report what you see, and sometimes what you see in the 'minds eye' is not what you're seeing with your physical eyes...so I think you should report both. But if you want to tell the world your opinion and make personal comments galore, use other discussion areas." Please try to write more than one or two sentences before posting. Its very difficult to scan through a list of 30 posts where each one is only 1 line long, you have to constantly switch your point of reference from post to post. One post that is 2 or 3 paragraphs long may take 10-15 minutes to write, but it is MUCH easier to read - and thats what we are all here for right??? Everyone poster has a profile, in many cases you can find their e-mail by clicking on their name. If you want to start a dialogue about a specific post, or something that happened - drop them a note!! If you cannot find their email then look in the members area for a place to post to them or post a note in the live feed suggestion/comment area and maybe they will reply there. Lastly, just use good sense and think of what you want to see on this board after you have been away for 12 hours. If you are like me, you want simple, concise posts with as little editorializing as possible. Once again, thanks to all those that post & thanks for reading as well!!! -ryn (moderator) SO you read all that? GREAT!!!!
