How not to wrangle hots... agian.

[Scales Zoo]

I could not agree more.

I always thought blocking them was just as chidish as them blocking other sites.

Well, as long as YOU guys think its dumb...

We can't do anything about it right now, mods don't have the ability to mess around with the site's word-blocker dealie.

And even so...if you're too lazy to read up on why it's there, why should we change it?

[Jayson]

A moderator calling the members names !!! That is sad.
I think most of us know why it is there and most of us think it is childish.
But not nearly as bad as mods calling us lazy and using that as an excuse.

[V.hb]

Jayson, I agree. I don't see why it is implied that any member is lazy based upon their attitude towards blanking out another site. As far as business goes, KS is far from competetive with this website in regards to the Canadian market. Also, It looks as though this site is speeding up somewhat in regards to the US market. So, I too think it's quite childish and annoying to constantly see blanked out words when most of us know exactly what it is.

Isn't this site purley dedicated to Forums? Kingsnake not only has forums but many other options to it, i don't see a need for competition or censorship, one is the most popular site for Forums the other alittle or everything i suppose. I find it very childish.

[HeatherRose]

I was talking about this:

i cant really remember. im not going to bother looking it up.

It wasn't a shot at anyone in particular, but I apologize...

Again, there is nothing that can be done about it right now...and it's there for a reason if it was implemented in the first place.

LOL, let's not turn this into an argument guys.. I think Heather was directing that comment at Jordan.. While im sure Jordan took no offence to it, as I hope he knew it wasn't meant as insult or anything else.

As far as the link being un-blocked from the site, I'm not really sure how I feel about it.. While I understand why it is, I also understand why maybe it shouldn't be. The problem with that though, is that none of the Moderators have control over what words are blocked and what words aren't, that is an administration issue, so if you guys feel that strongly about it, the best we can do, is take it up with Admin and hope they feel the same way as you guys..

So, until then, the links will unfortunatly still be blocked out and you lazy bums will have to cut and paste and delete and add to the link to get it to work..

I'll keep you guys updated on the progress though..

Matt don't be so childish...

I was directing that comment at Jordan's comment, but I'd hope he wouldn't take offense to it as I talk to him often...

[Scales Zoo]

I wasn't going to say anything about the comment, as I know my criticism is sometimes taken really harshly - but I'm glad it was brought up.

Matt, can't Alien make these kind of changes to the sight? I realize this kind of change would used to require Jeff's approval, but I think the mods could make a decision and just do it.

Ssnakess.com and that other one are the 2 largest forums going. Many of ssnakess.com members don't partake in the other forum, but I think most people agree that being able to link to many things on that sight would be convenient, and an improvement to this sight.

Just my 2 cents though, and I'm trying to give it in an appropriate way (this time)

Ryan, why exactly would 'Alien' be able to make these changes?? He's a Moderator, just like myself, just like Heather, just like Linds and all the other Moderators..

Yes, we Moderator's could come to the conclusion that we want those links to be allowed, but how do you propose we implement the change?? We have basic Moderator abilities, we don't have Administrator abilities, if we did, im sure it would be changed already..

-Matt

[Scales Zoo]

I had thought, for some reason, that Alien was brought on the team partially because, and so, he could make some technical changes to the sight (like adding the buttons on top), while Jeff was not around to do it. I realize I was probably mistaken, and that there are probably 20 or so threads I should have searched for to find my answer before saying anything

BTW, your question mark button seems to be repeating again.

Off to play with snakes...
Ryan

[Matt_K]

Nope, he was brought on as a moderator, nothing more nothing less.. The buttons up top were put up by Jeff...

'Snakes' eh.... I bet

i think one of you guys should call Jeff ******** up and ask him to take 5 minutes to just fix some things up and maybe update some things.

Here is a link for all of you lazy people

Do you have his number handy???

Like I mentioned before, While I understand where you guys are coming from, I also see where Jeff stands in having the site blocked. Again, yes, we Mod's could vote on it and all agree that it be changed, but ultimatly, this is Jeff's site and if he doesn't feel it should be changed, it's really none of our business to say otherwise..

The site has been run this way for the better part of three years now and while we've had a few people complain about it every so often, most people just respect that it's in place and go on about their surfing without it being much of an issue.. I know that I can live without seeing KS links, I don't even go to the site. However, if you guys do feel so strong about it, I'll bring it up with the other Mod's and try and get in touch with Jeff on it and see what they all have to say..
