Moderators Needed for the New Philosophy Forum Group on A2K

@Zetherin,

Yeah, I got a "not found" (404) error when I clicked on it from that link.

Again, I think the group isn't ready yet so what we can see/ do is probably limited until it is ready. However, the main question is answered (the thread exists and can be found on the new group, which will be ready and accessible at some as-of-yet-indetermined point in the hopefully-near future).

@ughaibu,

Oh really? That's cool.

I'm worried I opened a can of worms though, I noodled around and turned up the thread people were worried about so thought I'd share, but everything I've seen Robert say is that it's not ready, which means he probably doesn't want people messing around with it yet.

@ughaibu,

Next time, try clicking on the Contact Us link at the bottom of each page. The moderators probably have access and tools to more easily search for missing topics. This will be especially important when the groups function goes live since members won't have access to those groups to search for you unless they are members of each group.

Okay.

In February I joined a philosophy forum, A2K is emphatically not a philosophy forum.

This is rather unfair. You're complaining about the content of a forum's topics not being strictly philosophical yet you aren't using the tools available to navigate to the list of philosophical topics.

If you use the New Posts list, of course you are going to get the whole alphabet soup of subject variety.

If you want the more narrow philosophical subject matter, use the tag system and click on the Philosophy tag to navigate to the Philosophy forum list of topics. Doing so gives me these first 10 subjects that are sorted chronologically by latest activity:

Can Nobody Exist?

No, I was expounding on a point originally made by Mark Noble, and that point, as far as I understand it, is exempt from any question of "tools" available to members.

Hi Caroline!

Salima is not a "They".
What do you mean?

Your post said 'The spammers' spammERS! This implies more than one.

I have no idea what this means, I don't understand.

I was one of the suspendees.

If you pm'ed me with a good site for (whatever), in the making, and linked me the details. I would not cry 'spammer' and I would pass those details on to those I am friendly with.

If I was told or asked not to do so, and I wasn't! I would comply with the site request.
It clogged the board and they ignored messages asking them to stop at ten. What would you consider spam?

I never clogged any board - I sent a dozen or so, weeks before this became an issue. And James sent less (4 I believe).
And I received no warning that I was doing anything wrong.
Neither did he.

But you re-emerged the subject.
And as you have probably guessed by now. It is me and Sun you are referring to when you say "Spammers", in part.

And we are not, nor ever were.

Have a lovely day Caroline! And please excuse my crappy attempt to copy/paste this.

@mark noble,

I wasn't implying you or sometime sun. I was implying those who knew what they were doing, those who tried to brain drain. I don't want to re-address it because it's nothing to do with me, I just thought that you hadn't read the phil check in thread, it was explained why they were banned.

Haven't you noticed how few of the Philforum members post here? Even Kennethamy goes a day without posting. It seems to me that this is more likely to be a consequence of one event, the relocation of the board, than a coincidence of events, the personal circumstances of all the now non-posting members.

I agree.

If I wanted a game of table tennis, I doubt I'd go to a snooker hall.

Actually, I could not even find this site for a few days. Whenever I tried to go to the old URL, all I would get was, "under maintenance". It was purely by diligent searching that I found the address again. I will never understand what the point of all of this was, and why the other members could not just join the present site. It is a complete mystery to me what the fuss was all about, and why Robert had to bother to do what he has done. I imagine that some people are, to put it kindly, eccentric.

@ughaibu,

Robert's creating a group that will be in the vein of the old philosophy forum, aesthetically and functionally. You're aware of that, right? I mean, you're posting in a thread that's concerning it.

Yes, but the question is: Will we see you as a moderator for the new philforum group? Smile

@Zetherin,

Yeah Khethil, that would be nice.

@Caroline,

And what about you, Caroline? You had your hand in the mix before. Why don't you send Jgweed an e-mail?
