re 178: that looks pretty good (the board in the link retains a
compilation copyright so they can archive and distribute, but the
individual responses are owned by the people who posted them).
As to asking or requiring, I was paraphrasing. We should look up
the actual wording used on Grex's web page.

"And lar calling keesan an 'ugly little retard' in the subject line of
his item he just posted isn't libelous? "
It has to untrue before it's libelous,
richard,you are a STUPID COCKSUCKER.

Basically, unless someone comes up with a good way of putting a
leash on trolls like lar, I wouldn't expect a whole bunch of
additional people to come to Grex conferences.
The population of Grex declined sharply with the rise of
systems which took a more pro-active approach to troll management.

The newuser function on the web page is screwed up and staff is aware
of the problem. The newuser you get when you login as newuser@grex
is working just fine. As to the restricted shell and the need for
validation, I agree, that sucks and is driving people away.

lar, I think he's saying that if you wear a leash then it will attract
a certain element to grex

resp:183 That is true. It would mean a major philosophical change for
grex though. I can't say that it necessarily a bad thing. The best
solution would be allow the author of an item to moderate it if they
chose to do so. That could absolve grex of some of the legal issues that
have come up in past discussions of moderated conferences. IIRC, the
issue is that if grex volunteers/staff moderate conferences as a matter
of policy, grex could be sued if something which should have been
deleted wasn't.

re #183 indeed I can think of numerous longtime users of grex who have
long ago left specifically because they felt staff was all but
completely apathetic towards trolls. staff's desire to not have to
delete or close trolls' posts led to the validation patch on newuser
which only punished every other new user. I don't see anything wrong
with requiring that a new item posted by someone be at least remotely
vaguely substantive, saying that a new item posted that just calls a
user names, says "so and so is a cocksucker' has no merit and will be
removed unless the poster can defend his reasons for the post.
Give the user the opportunity to defend his item. "Your item appears
to be just using Grex's conference space to call a user derogative
names. We ask you to defend substantively the reasons for posting this
item in the next 'x' amount of time. If you cannot do so this item
will be deleted."
re #188 I would not allow posters of an item to be moderators of that
item, because inevitably what happens on other boards that have this is
you have an item entered on a political topic and the author of the
item deletes responses in it left and right that he disagrees with.
Limit moderation to the conference fairwitnesses.

re #192 no they didn't want censorship, they wanted trolling to not be
encouraged and they wanted name calling and use of needless derogatory
hurtful language to not be ignored by staff. why do you think valerie
mates left? She was being picked on troll-like by a group of users
mostly from mnet who had it in for her and she felt like she was being
ridiculed, and staff was too high minded to step in and try to do
anything. It wasn't worth it to her to stay around and put up with
mean spirited behaviour in order to read the good posts. She saw Grex
as maintaining a board rather than trying to maintain a community with
good civility. So she left and took all her posts down.

Oh shut the fuck up you dumbass...you don;t have a clue what you are
talking about. She left because she got her panties in a wad over the
parody of her baby item in m-net's agora. slynne,mynxcat and a host of
other
GREXORS posted in the item just having fun.
get the facts straight you lying sack of shit

re #193
why do you think valerie
mates left?
She didn't like dissent.
she left and took all her posts down.
She left and took EVERYONE's posts down in the parenting conference. we
had some legitimate discussions going on. She was very pro breastfeeding
of toddlers or whatnot and some of us differed on that front. So
instead of simply agreeing to disagree or what have you, she zippety
zapped all the items in that conference. And believe you me, I had
volunteered MANY times to co-FW in that conference and was ignored.
I won't dish out my own suspected gender discrimination in that whole
ordeal but I will say that I was displeased to have lost so much content
of discussion (not just of hers.)

I thought staff should have put those posts back into the Parenting
conf but they declined, that would have been 'censoring' Valerie right?

re#196

They all admitted it was censorship. Mary was the biggest supporter
of censoring because Valerie is a "friend of Grex" while the
rest of us are peasants or something.

valerie also used the same little program she wrote to delete her
posts, to also delete those of JEP in one particular agora. JEP had
written I thought very honestly and eloquently about his divorce and
then some time later regretted doing so and asked that all his posts on
that subject be removed. IFRC staff declined his request but then
Valerie, who was herself staff, did it for him anyway on her own. This
action took out the posts in items that a lot of others responded to,
and left a couple of items full of holes with the responses that are
left there now out of context.
These are excellent reasons why if there is a new version of grex, that
it should be stated posts can only be edited or deleted by poster for a
short period of time after posting. After 'x' amount of time, the
copyright reverts to Grex and the item and responses are considered
published.

mary is a total slut...an old ugly one at that. the only one who made
any real sense on staff in those days was cross. fatass STeve and ugly
glenda could not stand his superior knowledge so they got all defensive
and shit. mary was such a commie cunt she made cross resign from
staff..with a little help from naftee and polytarp

re# 201
no dumbass,this is why grex should have backups to restore items like
that and once a root pulls nazi bullshit like popcunt did then the
privileges should be revoked.

Well, if Grex told me that they expect to have copyright of all
my entries in BBS then I would probably stop participating. I don't
want people (including Grex) having the right to steal my creative
works or relayed expressions of my own experiences. I'm also against
having my entries webcrawled to the Internet. Grex has always been
a spot where I can converse freely to whatever set of participants
are listed for a particular conference. I have never seen Grex
as a place to "blog".

" the time limit is important because it would prevent circumstances
like
when valerie mates decided to leave grex and decided to delete all of
his past posts she ever made here going back years."
Your stupidity knows no bounds. popcunt had root and this allowed her
to do anything she wanted. no lame ass bbs block could stop that bitch
just shut up richard,you are a fucking fool
