TV ClubHouse: Archive: Goodbye to this Fake Forum:
Archive through September 24, 2003
Juiceman | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:05 pm     This is now a FAKE forum Too bad! I have been a loyal reader and participant for 4 years and sent a lot of visitors here too. After this weekend I realised this site is not real anymore. Its fake. Its a 'presentation' of what Mods want it to apprear as. Seems like two things happened here - Mods developed a false sense of being 'part of the CBS team' since this forum was used in the show. - Since Robert left and BB turned sour, the little 'insider' club in here is trying to do damage control. I saw at least 10 of my posts removed this weekend and probably about a 100 others too. This was NOT because of the server. Despite the fact that Jun and Alison are the only ones left and they are being negative... Mods decided they did not want to allow the natural response of fans.. they deleted almost anyone for 'Alison bashing'. (BS) All the while, a few of the 'insiders' got free reign to mock and ridicule anyone not 'in' with the powergroups version of things in here. Several times I was deleted for 'daring' to challenge the few 'special' posters. Seems only they get to flamebait and no retorts allowed. Too bad this turned into a fake presentation ...just like CBS did with BB this year. Goodbye and I will be removing all links to you just as you removed my posts here. (Good luck to the few good people left in here) |
Monalisahi | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:12 pm     OMG.....I just re-read my post.....I didn't mean 10,001 things to do about hubby and his fun bags......I mean my post on the 10,001 things to do thread....about hubby and his fun bags. sorry for any confusion...lol |
Cangaroo | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:14 pm     Hey Mona...I think that would be a fun thread to start...10,001 things to do with Monalisahi's hubby's fun bags. Some of it might prove to be painful though, so I don't think he will want to read it. |
Kmjm | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:15 pm     Oh wow- deja vu! |
Cangaroo | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:16 pm     Yes, deja vu...do you think he wants us to start the thread all over again? I think everyone has gone to bed, so it may not move as fast as the first time around. |
Woodpecke® | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:18 pm     (Good luck to the few good people left in here). He likes me. He really likes me.  |
Bonzacat | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:19 pm     Deja vu?
 |
Cangaroo | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:22 pm     Oh nutter knockers. |
Kmjm | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:31 pm     I think Juice feels that we haven't dealt with his issues. Well, FYI I had a totally f'n brilliant post (IMHO)in onlyhuman's tremendous analysis thread deleted due to board stuff or perhaps moderation since everyone got hot under the collar again about Elena and Ali and whatnot. I never even saw a response to it! Is that fake or what? Furthermore, I have never been accused of being in the "in crowd" which is totally insulting, even if it is true. I'd leave, but then I'd have nowhere to go! I come here of my own free will. I love it here. If I didn't, I'd stop coming. Would I tell people first? Why would I bother if I wanted to leave? Juiceman, I think you really want to stay, or perhaps I just hope you do. I hate to see anyone leave, since I enjoy all of you. |
Tishala | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:39 pm     Ummmmmm. Is Chicken George digging up secret knockers in the back yard again? |
Woodpecke® | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:40 pm     I've been "modded" to keep the peace. I've been "modded" because I commented on a statement that eventually was "modded" and made my post useless. I've been "modded" because my humor was misconstrued. I was "modded" because somebody thought I meant something personal about them and I wasn't even talking about them. I'm sure I've been "modded" because the mod had different mod standards than the previous mod. And, most importantly, this entire thread could have been "modded" and deleted because the original message contains complaints about mods, which isn't allowed. I hope this thread stays where it is. The mods don't have a special list of favored posters. Trust me, I know. |
Monalisahi | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:47 pm     I was modded for using Jee 3 and stupid in the same sentence  |
Jhezzie | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:50 pm     I'm now confused... |
Carrie92 | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 11:05 pm     Juiceman I hope you stay - I know what you're talking about. I've been scoffed at too, probably by the same poster who has scoffed at you. Sometimes my retorts get deleted, sometimes they don't. Either way, I feel secure that my retorts get read. There is a serial scoffer here who it seems has a tendency to chase people around the board and nitpick everything they say. So I figure they run around to read the retorts too. And it's usually the same people who do a lot of baiting. I just avoid it if I can. Anyway, I hope you stay, I often agree with your posts. Sorry if I haven't told you sooner. And it's a shame this topic is being treated as a joke - when I and certainly others feel you may have a legitimate complaint. Perhaps you could give it another chance and maybe email the mods with specific examples of scoffing and baiting? Note sure if you've tried that yet, but it would at least alert mods to the situation. |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 12:09 am     Wait a minute. Did Superman do his fly around the earth thing and we're now repeating what happened several hours ago so that a different result can occur??? But Bonzacat put out the Bat Signal, why would Superman respond to that??? Carrie92, as the mods have said, questions about moderation should be directed to the moderators via their email address, not via a thread on the board. And, as the mods told us earlier, they haven't received any email from Juiceman. However, perhaps he will choose to email them now. I certainly hope so. I've emailed the mods and, more often than not, will get a response. But, they are busy and sometimes they can't reply back. It doesn't mean they aren't listening. (Like I said in another thread, I wouldn't want the job!) (Oh, and I SWEAR I'm not following you around and scoffing at ya! I logged on, came to this thread because I posted hear earlier this evening and you just happen to be the last poster. Coincidence! Btw, I don't chase people around although it may seem like it at times. *grin* I do read other people's retorts when I'm talking with them; I consider that being polite. They take the time to post, I take the time to read. LOL! Now, if you were you cute like Ranger Dave, well...then perhaps I would be following! LOL!) Oh, and Carrie92, you're an excellent poster. Even though we haven't necessarily agreed on many topics this year, doesn't mean I don't respect your opinion or enjoy what you post. Cause, I really do! |
Efilon | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 03:51 am     Azriel said "Efilon, the moderators might not have ever seen the post. They try to be everywhere at all times, but go figure, that can't seem to manage this feat. Next time that happens send the mods an email." There was acutally a moderator in the thread at the time. Of course, it was said by one of the "favorites". I don't really think there are favorites but I do think that some posters are allowed a lot of leeway, while others who don't post as much aren't. And as to some saying they get moderated all the time, many of them have hundreds if not thousands of posts. Their chance of being moderated would of course be higher than those of us who post much less. |
Chiparock | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 04:35 am     Whew! Glad to see I didn't miss the boat (thread) entirely. It must be on a continuous loop. I just don't want to miss the Golden Power of Poopy and throw in a shitload of naughty words not generally regarded as proper. Tits? Why censor tits when ass is perfectly acceptable? Ah, shit -- when Julie Chen quotes Robert on primetime tv, you know the nation (and Canada) is going straight to hell in a handcart and TVCH is letting us ride along. Wheeee! I feel like a preteen in the backyard with friends, smoking cigarettes and cussin' up a storm, feeling like a rebellious hellion. Mods, I luv ya for allowing us to whoop it up as BB4 winds to a close. Last Tango in TVCHland! |
Sisalou | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 04:45 am     Well, My Goodness! Just when I have to attend to RL business I return and find all heck breaks loose. Posters are molesting key boards and fun bags are being punched about and Woodpecker is going to touch something. Halfunit and Square were even posting over here but as usual I miss everything. I am sorry that Juiceman feels he needs to leave and maybe he will reconsider. ed. LOL Chiparock |
Chill_Town | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 05:03 am     Well I have been lurking for 2 years and just recentally signed up so I was able to post... I have not once been made to feel that I was less of a person because I wasn't a veteran of the board... I've always been made to feel that the more the merrier ( ie the thread welcoming newbies like moi )... So I have to say thanks to all out there, this is by far the BEST board on the web, keep up the good work... |
Queenfish | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 05:26 am     Dang it . I feel left out. I have been here for a couple or three years now and have never ever been moded. I have been ignored plenty but never ever moderated. What's a girl gotta do to get in this elite tvch crowd? Just kiding , I like most everyone. almost. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 05:53 am     Queenfish, we all get ignored, I don't like it either but realize that people probably read it, just have nothing to say. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 06:44 am     I am the worse for that. If I see something I agree with...19 times out of 20, I sit here and nod my head. Unfortunately, to the poster on the other end, that does no good. Sometimes when a post gets a whole bunch of attaboys though, people on 'the other side' of the issue, might feel like they are being ganged up on. That is also no good. So...generally speaking, if you don't hear from me, I agree. (more or less, thought not always.) |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 06:58 am     and sometimes cross never checks his folder either and then the poster who says good morning or something to him gets ignored. when i feel ignored i either talk louder or talk to myself. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 07:04 am     Uh oh, I bet I've done it again. G'mornin Square.  |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 07:05 am     morning cross. and yes you have. |
