New sub-forum for official Puppylinux releases

i agree that reorganizing would be too much work for john
(who i would like to thank for providing this forum)
i really like this forum
and the people on it
even though sometimes you have to have a thick skin
here is a simple and easy idea
start a thread in the beginners section
that discusses the official puppies
and has links to the various projects
it could even be sticky so it stays on top
people would sidetrack things
but then everyone could post to keep things back on topic
the thread should be pretty busy
so the topic (and flagship puppies) should remain in focus
this could do a number of things
1. people (especially newbies and me)
would have an obvious place to look to see what were
the official puppies
and info on what they were all about
the links to the projects would provide depth
2. you could compliment the various work
so that the creators could have some positive feedback
from the whole community not
just scattered on the myriad of threads
3. many other good things
just to start things off
i am going to make the thread now and see how it goes
if it gets deleted and i get banned tell the world my story

Hi Flash.
come along as partners/co-operators, I might just do that. (Also health
concerns are forcing me to keep my activities at a minimum at this time.)
With all due respect:
Am I correct in assuming that you cannot humanly apply the rules that do
exist on this board because you are the only moderator left and you cannot
oversee everything on this board all the time?
BFN.

Starting a new forum would split the membership. That's the last thing Puppy needs. Not having enough people to test is bad enough as it is.
If there can't be a reorganization, if someone doesn't like a post because they think it is in the wrong place, then they need to PM the moderator. If they post about it on the forum, that should be deleted and if they keep it up, they ought to get suspended and if they do it after that they ought to get banned.
What posts belong where should not be allowed to be used as an excuse to cause trouble.

I think there is a sub-question, though, in your post: this forum is lacking
qualified assitant-moderators.
Is it that nobody is raising their hand and saying to Flash or J. Murga: "Do
you need my help as an assistant=moderator?"
I did, a couple of years ago, but I never got an answer. Never mind me,
I know a lot of people do not like me here. But the principle is still valid:
Or is it that J. Murga and Flash think that the forum is fine as it is,
including the personal attacks?
Or is it that they do not want to train assistant-moderators? For whatever
reason.
Sorry for being so frank. In any case, I am myself side-tracking here,
sorry.
But my position is still: let's jump on this occasion to showcase official
PuppyLinux releases to start a new content-mederated forum -- for the
reasons I have given above.
It may split membership for a while. It will indeed be a test: really
interested Puppyists will go to the forum that provides the most
substance, to the forum that really meets their needs.
Those users who only want to snap at other users' calves and bums will
be filtered out, and that is a good thing.
Regards.

Just saw that animation today and immediately thought of you, and also talking about deviating the thread... well...musher0 wrote:Do not speak in parables, Galbi.Galbi wrote:@musher0: are you listening well?

well my attempt to make a official puppy thread didn't work out
as i found it was redundant
and actually distracted attention from the proper source of the info
mavrothal
i dont know how the software for the forum works
but maybe opening an "empty" subforum
for official woof-ce puppies would not be difficult
one could ask
no harm done
then you guys could put the official puppy threads there
and the puppy derivatives could be for puppy based projects
and the puppy projects could be for non puppy based projects
everyone could move their threads voluntarily if they feel like it
anyway its time for me to stop annoying people
and go back to my box
good luck

Mm...
Probably not my place to make any kind of comment here, but (notwithstanding all the arguments over moderating/additional sub-forums/administering/forking, etc.), it seems to me that each and every one of us could play his/her part in helping to keep the forum better 'organised'.
Quite simply, it boils down to this: put a wee bit of careful thought into where a thread should be posted, before doing so. (And no; I'm not painting myself as whiter than white here; I'm probably just as guilty of past misdemeanours in this respect.)
I do agree than John does not need extra messing about. He's kind enough to host the Forum, and cover the cost of doing so out of his own pocket. We all, every one of us, owe him a huge debt of gratitude for that.....and such generosity should never be forgotten, or overlooked.

Tell me, Mike, what kind of generous soul tolerates personal attacks onMike Walsh wrote:Mm...

Mike
the users of his forum?
As far as i am concerned, I owe the man nothing,
1) in as much as I contributed enough topics and help and scripts here
to make HIS forum interesting and worth visiting. You too, and a lot of
other contributors here, if we stay in that logic. We have paid him back
in content.
On another level, I owe the man nothing,
2) because I had to defend and prove myself numerous times against
any "personal attackers" he did not find fit to weed out or cut short.
Is he tolerating this because:
-- it is spicing up the action on his forum OR
-- he hates Francophones generally (the French Puppyists bore the brunt
of his free-for-all policy and major Francophone Puppy devs have now
left Puppy) OR
-- he hates me personally (although I don't think he would have reason
to since we never met).
That is all I will say on this subject of his free-for-all policy for now.
About the cost of maintaining this forum, of keeping it up, it could be
next to nothing if it is in the "hidden" part of a business site J. Murga
would have. If so (but we do not officially know), the costs of
maintaining this Puppy forum would be -- at least in certain jurisdictions
-- deductible from income tax of the company site. Therefore, close to
zilch overall.
BFN.

We have to admit the moderation is rather lax. But sometimes is enforced on the wrong people: e.g. people arguing with musher0.
I guess no one else has to right to defy the rules.
This man (or troll should i say), is known for attacking and degrading people out of the bue, then when he is in the line of fire having a taste of his own medicine, someone will pay the price, and it's not him.
When he is not Pelo'ing or Hamoudou'ing, he seems rather normal, but it's just a masquerade.
And then come the accusations of raycism, out of the blue he'll accuse you of having something against french canadians, because you're a Nazi, even when you're darker than black, so you have to play along. All because he saw the english slaughter the native french canadien and forced him to learn the language. The forum users have to pay for that.
Even now we see his delusions of grandeur and nothing happens.
