But people who want to debate and be civil have NOTHING to worry about.
People who don't conform to your idiosyncratic and self-adopted diktats is what you mean, corky.

It's always the same KT - give little people a little a little power and they think they're God.

And they don't come any smaller than you, champ.

No, more because known promoters of known frauds aren't welcome.
That's always a good guide on any site, champ.

No I mean frauds proven by evidence that you can't refute, like Simon Shack that you actively promote, makes you a liability and not welcome..

Bump.

Give Killtown a mod job. I think it would provide some balance.

What sort of balance is that?
Half way between truth and disinformation?

Killtown would make an excellent moderator, what evidence do you have that he is giving out disinformation?

In some ways I'd love Killtown to be moderating
It would be fair and transparent
However Killtown has a long history of emotion and attack
I dont by any means agree with the aministrators here in every respect but neither would I want to fight with them on particular viewpoints
Killtown obviously would, and if the admins invited him in I'd agree, but well, this viewpoint is getting a showing. So let it be

Inappropriate

Post by TonyGosling »

Glad you came down on the right side, but maybe for the wrong reasons IMO Paul. Posts from years ago would be disappearing. What we need here is fairly simple but honest folk who dont start scraps and have made a real difference in some small way here in fighting their way to the truth.
Killtown locks horns with mild mannered truthseekers, rather like a bad comedian satirising a homeless person.

You need someone to do the "other controversies" area[s]. All the mods support the basic Con Demo theory.

That's not strictly true.

As any review of Killtown's debates will show, he has the reasoning abilities of a brick. He knows how to block and deflect but that's about it.
You might as well make Prole Art Threat a mod - he's just a more surly version.

Whereas I think that Paul probably detests a lot of my views but I would never for a moment think that would be a factor in him moderating me should he ever feel the need to do so.

Trust and respect is a major factor in successful moderating, and I'd suggest Killtown is a long way from having that trust and a million miles from having widespread respect other than within his faction.

What about yourself David?
Why shouldn't you be one?

Yes, I'd just like to say I dont support the Con Demo theory, whatever that is. If it's conventionnal demolition, then I'd support as building 7, but not the Towers. They certainly had a relatively small amount of conventional explosives in from the basements to the top, But that isn't how they were brought down

I was more making a general point than saying wither of these ppl should be made mods. I actually agree that if you take a cursory glance thru posting content in the "alt theories" area you'll find a lot of *really* bad posters who are lumped as being on the minority or kookier side of things.
Whereas I think that Paul probably detests a lot of my views but I would never for a moment think that would be a factor in him moderating me should he ever feel the need to do so.
But you see Paul has a waaaay harder task than the others. Gosling and JW are prepared to simply dismiss anyone or any content that radically opposed their consensus viewpoints. Someone like Paul I bet feels he has to justify his being tolerant of other areas to the other admins here.

You've read more of Killtown's content than me. So maybe you're right. As I said it wasn't specific to one person.

Discussed this with Ian a few months before this board underwent a huge overhaul. I admitted I couldn't do the straight 9/11 material but I did offer to do certain topic areas if they ever got introduced on the forum. On top of this there's the matter of finding time to moderate a whole forum - just doing the day-to-day stuff I do now I'd do without food and sleep if it was biologically feasible - but then I guess I'd look even skinnier than I do at the moment

How come you can edit posts everywhere but here. I have no edit button?

No idea where that duplicate came from above.

Maybe I get these board settings as punishment for not being a "Validated" member of the human race. :( - I blame my journey down the birth canal. Way too bumpy. :(

Something very wrong there - can't edit your own posts???
Anyone else having the same or similar problems please report in here.

Also, just to reassure people there is no difference in the settings for any of the users, settings like this depend on which group you're in.

Well, I can post here, but I tried to reply to a post in articles and got
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /board/posting.php on this server.
Where's that at?

Is this an error or a side effect of not being "validated"?

What's with this new 'critic' tag? How come Telecasterisation is suddenly a "911 truth critic" (?) and Alex V - a definite critic - is a regular poster?
How come Killtown is a "911 truth critic" too? I mean, he's a buffoon with a head full of straw, but Jesus when did he become a "911 truth critic"? What's the definition of this exciting new label?

If everyone on this forum is going to be filed and classified according to someone's whim, might I suggest an attractive scheme of coloured stars and triangles to be displayed underneath avatars?

I noticed that my status changed to "moderate poster" a few days ago and "moderate" is a word that I really don't like. could it be changed to something like "not very prolific" instead? :wink:

and just for clarification, could somebody post a list of all the possible descriptions a user can have under their avatar (moderate, validated, critic etc) and what you have to do to qualify for each?
