I very much appreciate it when members, acting in good faith, point out to me potential problems in threads that might call for my intervention. However, it is very difficult for me to respond when I am not properly directed to the thread or the post to which you refer. Before you Private Message or email me, please copy the http:// address of the thread in question (on Windows machines, you can right click on the address at the top of your browser and select COPY) and then PASTE it into your message to me. Or, alternately, provide me with the forum (whistle, whistle pub, flute, etc) the name of the thread, the log-in name of author of the post or posts to which you refer. This would be greatly appreciated as I otherwise have to poke around looking for what you refer to.
Also, if all possible, cut and paste whatever actual text from the post you are referring to.
Dale, Iāve been meaning to write you to point out an offensive post. I donāt recall the name of the poster or which forum itās in, and the title had something to do with celtic music, I think, but not whistles. Unless it did. I forget.
Anyway, it has thatā¦ WORDā¦in itā¦and I think itās inappropriate on a family forum. I canāt write it here, itās too inappropriate, but Iām sure you know what one I mean. I closed the window out of shock before I caught the web address. But Iām sure youāll find it and deal with it appropriately. Thanks!
I think I kinda remember that too, Ava. It was a post, somewhere, mighta been here or at a guitar forum, or maybe it was in the letters section of the local paper. But, I thought, āBoy, Dale needs to know about this, pronto.ā
And now, with our shiny new look, allow me to direct everyoneās attention to the little red exclamation mark clicky at bottom right of each post: itās the new āReportā function. If you think a particular post is problematic, click āReportā and let us know WHY thereās a (potential, maybe) problem. Works a treat, and helps the mods keep track better, what with the volume of stuff happening around here.
Just try to not overuse it, please. We donāt care if someoneās punctuation is offensive to you.
Hmm. Is that so? I did not know that. Youāre a sharp one. I suppose itās the sort of rationale that suggests that if I have a Foe, then really I have no business sending a PM to him/her, at least on a spam basis. Makes sense in a rules-and-regs sort of way to me.
I have to say I donāt like this multiple sendings thing much. After all, itās no longer a PM by definition, is it? Itās a CM (conference message). Maybe Iāll grow to be comfortable with it.
After the change in command from Dale Force 1 to Captain Chastain last year, who are the current mods ā are benhall.1 and nanohedron still on board, or does Blayne have his own crew now?
NANO retired from duties before the switch. I donāt know about Ben but assume heās no longer on duty.
Last week I noticed a few post that read something like āthis post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hiddenā. I donāt know what happened after that but it indicates a mechanism to bring a post to the attention of whoever is policing these things. I assume the flag button would do the job.
Heya! Feel free to give a shout out to me anytime. Ben and I had a nice chat a bit ago about him continuing to mod (and of course about old flutes - need to followup. Iām also going to bring in my man Rex here who helps with things in the shop to keep an eye on things. C&Fās main email is hup@chiffandfipple.com btw.
