Cool
Of course, no rush at all. We all certainly want the site up and running smoothly.Honestly, im busy with the upgrade right now. If you bring this back to me in a week or two I'll look at it more in depth and maybe we could get something done.
But I thought it's worth asking/discussing. Is there a way to have a WIW where the poster HAS to acknowledge he's read the rules, kinda like the Accept/Decline thing we see all the time on the interweb? No, that wouldn't work because it's probably the responders who start the fracas that Joey doesn't want to deal with.
Don't count on it Trace. We don't get things the other sites get.
That isn't really fair. In fact, that is part of my concern because we dont have a WIW forum on the other sites, and the minute I do it here I'll have to do it there too.
How about we just leave out the wiw and put in a politics section here on this site since some of the other sites have it. Probably not,
I misunderstood, thought I read the E body site had one.That isn't really fair. In fact, that is part of my concern because we dont have a WIW forum on the other sites, and the minute I do it here I'll have to do it there too.
Last go around of asking for a political thread, we got shot down as soon as we asked. Doesn't matter anymore, the damage had been done.Don't think I haven't thought about it..
What if the WIW forum rules were "Wide Open, Wild West, no Moderation, enter at your own risk, wear your big boy pants, be prepared to melt if you're a snowflake, don't bring a knife to a gunfight, and most importantly--don't report bad behavior to me (Joey) and expect me to do ANYTHING about it."?
Would that work, if everyone knows in advance that WIW is a dangerous, unregulated jungle?
User 1: What is my part worth?
User 2: I'll give you $50 for it
User 1: Great! Sold!
User 3: I would have given you $100! I didn't see this in the for sale forums!
User 1: How come I can't leave feedback for User 2?
Me: Because you didn't have a for sale ad to give feedback on.
User 1: Your feedback system sucks!
That does make sense. I've definitely seen that a hundred times.
You are correct there. I try to do my best which usually means, not everyone will be happy...You definitely deal with a very difficult dynamic being involved with these sites.
