Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

[EPrado]

Well....judging by the overwhelming support on here I would hope Baron would give it a shot. I know myself and a lot of the older experienced guys would be back. Hopefully he's cool with the idea and can implement it.

Quote from R. Raskolnikov:

That is why this discussion, along with the extremely popular recommendation of giving the OP more policing duties, is so vital. The riff raff, broken record types will not be tolerated and real traders, seeing a better environment for healthy discussion, will make their way back. Most people will be better off with only a few unwanted hooligans discarded to the wayside.

Give the thread starter the ultimate big stick. Even the threat of it would deter idiot posts and keep a good thread on track.

No it would only turn this place into a hostile camping ground for trolls like marketsurfer.

You might want to reconsider your stance. That wackadoo Bwolinsky agrees with you. If Hershey agrees as well you will have hit the lunatic daily double.

Actually if those two agreed with me I would remove my support for the idea and check into Creedmore and start shock treament immediately.

Quote from marketsurfer:

Ok, man. I'm burned out on this topic. Best wishes and peace to you! Surf

Responsibility of speech goes with freedom of speech in any civilized community. Does that mean not saying something others will not like? Does that mean not saying anything that goes against the group? NO, it means backing up what you say with substance.

I disagree because, here is my evidence, here is my reasoning, it means claims backed by something not just assumptions from people with "a handle on psychology"

Some may be happy with the total freedom to be an ass without consequence around here, its apparent many more are not.

The freedom to respond is just as important as the capacity to.

There is no support for your idea, EPrado.

This thread's appearing to be about moderation and not the updates it needs.

The chat room is too regulatorially (sp? HA! this isn't a word, I know) problematic.

How would it do that?

Let people think what they want about your response. I am an idiot Savant for being here in these discussions, but that also means I'm a genius and many here probably do have IQ's and capacities to draw their own conclusions and it is this attitude that people like the ones that need this kind of moderation do not need help with to deter the misunderstanding that can ruin lives the way individuals who "derail threads" have and will continue to do in the future.

We don't need much more moderation than to cease responding to certain individuals and that solution is all that's required than barring the folks that might try to stick idiotic statements into threads that will probably be edited later anyway and I don't generally request moderation unless they are personal attacks and my opinions don't need to be the center of attention if they aren't completely so problematic as to not make any sense at all the way marketsurfer/emg failed logic no encouragement attitude is.

You are too far off the reservation to converse with. Please please put me on ignore.

Maybe the big indian dude will throw a toilet through the wall and you can escape the facility.

You make Gary Busey seem normal.



I'm here all week

You may be a genius but it appears you are not so good at reading the obvious.

Looking forward to announcements on the future direction.

He would be very normal and entertaining to the people around me.

The reason Baron's not going to do it is because he isn't asking how do we make people shut the fuck up he's asking how do I programmatically improve the functionality of my website and I don't think your discussion along that line of thinking is doing him any good in drawing any conclusions about what's required for him to make any more money on his website.

Google search engine and facebook engine visibility linkedin youtube and those sites alone will do more to make him money and increase traffic than any of the other suggestions and while I liked the chat room I'm afraid there is too much of an issue with regulation which shut it down before I think anyway.
