Let’s Pull the Plug on AI

Rather, I’m asking if this is your ‘more constructive way forward’.

Are you unable to answer that question?

What's your more constructive way forward, you're a moderator!!

Can I share our PMs?

Sharing PMs is your ‘more constructive way forward’?

But then, everyone will know my secret risotto recipe.

Let’s approach this with seriousness. Canpakes, from this moment on, as a moderator, would you like to utilize this thread to strive for a more constructive environment for everyone in the forum? I am, what do you think?

1. A thread already exists for that sort of activity.

2. This is not my thread to commandeer.

What if Kishkumen tells us it's ok?

If that’s the agreement between the two of you, I’d say ‘go for it’. : )

I'll do it for you, here's exactly what I said:

"Personally, I think you're a good guy. I can tell by your videos you have a good heart.

So do you want to do a little experiment? when we post, let's start treating one another with the utmost respect, almost over doing it, to see who picks up on it first. And afterwards, I won't even say anything, I'll let you talk about what we did if you choose to."

Right, so when you say, "let's start treating one another with the utmost respect," you are not asking that I behave more civilly toward you? I mean, that's what I thought I was agreeing with you, when I said that I would try to treat you more civilly. What am I missing here?

I thought we had full AI threads around here. What's going on? It's easy to spot. HOH, for example is using it under his sn HOH to cover his "voice" and therefore his identity. And if you don't believe that you're not paying attention. And now he's probably got Whiskey going as another voice. He's already got at least one more alt in the waiting.

And no, I don't care to read all the replies here this place is becoming increasingly absurd by the day. Thanks for asking.

What's it take to figure things out around here an act of the FSM or something?

I'll join in. Sounds like a good idea....

What I said might not have been clear enough. What I meant was let's try something new, let's go crazy with compliments in our posts to each other and see if the board notices. That way, when someone actually asks what's going on, you or I could say, "As everyone can see, it's not that hard to be nice to everyone if you put in a little effort while you're writing post." I was trying to spark a conversation on the board so positive change can be talked about.

Excellent! Thank you very much! If we are going to engage in a discussion about progressing in a more constructive and courteous manner, let's be truthful about the reasons behind our actions on this board, particularly regarding the insults and unkind behavior towards each other. I will begin.

As Jersey Girl mentioned in her post, the situation has become increasingly absurd, and I share her sentiments. I acknowledge that I have increased my confrontational remarks and directed insults towards others in the last two weeks more than I did throughout the entire past year of my time on the board. Here's why:

1. I wanted to be taken seriously in the moderator thread because I was trying to ask sincere questions to receive a genuine response from a moderator. All I received was my post from the last two months on that thread being relocated to Spirit Prison. All of my posts in that thread adhered to the rules, I was simply asking questions as the thread intended. I utilized it in the same manner as others had in the past. In essence, one of the moderators transferred two months of my post from that thread to spirit prison, not due to any rule violations, but rather because they disapproved of my questions. Just a few days ago, when the moderator Xeno began to post and engage more actively on the board, my posts that had been moved to Spirit Prison were returned to Paradise, without any explanation. That explains one of my frustration and why I've begun to speak harshly towards the board members.

2. My second concern regarding the board is that as I have begun to read older posts, I have encountered numerous instances where certain board members target individual posters, reminiscent of behavior one might expect in elementary school. I recognize that this is a platform for free expression, which is commendable, but I am curious as to why Cam is permitted to label Ajax18 as a literal Nazi, as he did around 2 weeks ago. To find evidence of cam referring to Ajax18 as a Nazi, simply scroll back to approximately page 250 of this forum, this has been occurring since at least 2017. It is unacceptable for anyone to suffer that kind of abuse for eight years.

Those are two of the reasons I escalated the insults in my post here in Spirit paradise. I was truly disturbed when Cam referred to Ajax18 as a literal Nazi about two weeks ago. I was quite upset when my posts were moved and then moved back, presumably because another moderator believed that moving them was an error. I am prepared to treat other posters with more kindness and refrain from insults, but there needs to be a shift when one or two individuals have been permitted for years to label certain people as literal Nazis.
