When posts are move from one thread to another such as what will occur with posts to this thread, they land in the new thread in the exact order in which they were originally posted and they are organized by date, just as they were in the original thread of origin.

Even posts I choose (or you demand) be left here for a time and would thus be out of sequence (missing), will be inserted into the "history" thread in their proper order once they are moved. So actually the sooner they get moved the better. If a post is deleted for cause this will cause a "gap". That problem is caused by the posters own choice of language.

This date sequence order is not determined by me, and it does not constitute censorship.



Breaking a thread up into two separate threads, one with your opinion of what is acceptable to the discussion as you want to direct it, and the other for all the posts that don't meet your criteria, IS censorship of the most obvious sort.

You create two discussions, neither of which is complete, and only one comforming to your idea of what people need or want to see.
from a dictionary:

Main Entry: censor
Function: transitive verb
: to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable


Leaving your favored thread sticky while letting the other sink out of sight is suppression.

None of the above has ANYTHING to do with deleting obscene or threatening posts. I'm all for that.

Oh- and the definition of "moderator" does not include censorship duties.


I have already commented to the extend I intend to on the censorship issue.

The title of "Moderator" as used on list servers is a noun, not a verb, and is therefore not a definition of the duties involved. As to the specific duties of moderators, they do what the project asks them to do. If they don't they are removed.

You noted in another post that floating threads do not update based on date, and rise accordingly, as posts are moved into them from other threads. I agree that this is a forum bug, and will report it as such.

The concept I gather from your posts, to leave things where you feel they should be, does not fit the needs of the project team in their quest to find concise, uncluttered facts related to specific problems they are asked to address, nor my needs in addressing moderator contact issues for the user community.

You also noted that you do not like the number of stickys on the boards, but are upset by the fact that the 'history" portion of this thread sinks out of sight. In the face of these two mutually exclusive views, and in the absence of any suggestion as to which of these two options might satisfy you, I have not changed the status of the thread as non-sticky. Would you like it made into a sticky, or allow it to float freely?

You asked what I want:

Leave all orginal threads intact, deleting only those obscene or threatening posts.

Report issues that the project leads have decided they need to see via an off-forum means - either by emails referring them to specific posts, or copying posts to them.

Defer the "re-organizing" until such time as the forums are modified, if they ever are.

Urge the project to fix the broken forum features. That will resolve moderator notification issues.

The parts of your suggestion that fit the needs of the project are already being done. The parts of your suggestions that do not fit those needs, have been addressed in my last response.

Do you want the "history" portion of this discussion made sticky or left to float freely based on the last posting date?

Assuming the project begins to use the "X" box reporting system, this would not be necessary, but you have a VERY valid point here. I will take your idea and send it off to the Project Team and see how they feel about it. Good thought and suggestion, Thank you.


Please correct me if I haven't understood this right, because I understand this suggestion with the private mails distributed by the mod, and Vavega's suggestion as this:

E.g. if I post a comment to a person here, and that person feels offended by it, but doesn't want to confront me directly on the board, this person can write a private mail to me about it, asking me what I meant or ask me to elaborate, and have the mods forwarding it to me on the mailadress, which is connected to my account here. Is this understood correct?

If this is the case, I can't express my disaggreement strongly enough. I certainly want to decide for myself, who from these boards, I want to communicate in private with. I have my account connected to my personal mailadress, which I only use for "official" mails and a very few personal friends. Else I use my gmail accounts. So people from this project will suddenly get access to my personal mailadress and with this my IP.

So if a person sit and read my posts and wants to get in contact with me, for some reason or the other, he/she will be able to outside the boards. No thank you very much. I am a woman, and there are many weird people out there, and I have had the experience of being stalked both in cyberspace on the boards, and in my personal life on my personal mail (why do you think I don't use my own name and nationality anywhere?), and with this, the police involved and meetings with lawyers. I have been reported to my ISP, to the police and to some other authorities here, where I live, by these people. Luckily, my ISP, the police, and the authorities in question were able to see, it was an insane person, else I would have been in serious trouble. My mail have been spammed beyond any belief, untill I had Mailwasher installed, where I can have it all filtered before downloading it from the server.

If my mailadress and with this, my personal life, will be in jeopardy in any way, by participating in this project, I'll leave it imidiately. This is not a joke for me. I hope I've made myself clear. But please correct me, if I'm wrong about this.

And I'll send the content of this post to David Kim myself, thank you very much.

Fuzzy the gist of it is this...If I offend you...but you don`t wish to confront me cos I`m an evil person....you mail the mod....

The Mod then say`s I`m out of order and deletes etc., and no one knows except the mod that you were the person who acted.

And why can't this be done through the ???

Over at Seti, by clicking the , and posting a complaint, the message ticks directly into Matt Lebofsky's computer, why not here to David Kim?

Why sow insecurity about people's safety and private information?

And again, we are grown up people, who post here, so when we participate in a discussion, no matter how heated it is, why should anybody be intimidated by somebody, so they don't "dare" to post back? It's a discussion for crying out loud, and if there's threatening and obscene language involved, it's a case for the mods/devs anyway according to the posting rules, as stated at the left when writing the post.

I percieve private mails as much more intimidating as any post on any boards, as mails in my mailbox are much more invasive of my private life than any posts on any DP project board ever can be. I can choose to not read on the boards, but mails to me I can't ignore!

Again, the is the only solution to any complaints about other posters and offensive posts, in my oppinion.

Right - they need to get the 'x' function both visible, and functioning.

The functioning part requires someone at the project to edit a config file to point to the email (or user account?) that will be receiving the complaints.

Making the 'x' visible to everyone is a one line code change that I referenced elsewhere.

Now the project just needs to do it.

I think there may have been some confusion created by the way Vavega presented his example. Here is the full text of his/her original post on this.

[quote]i think our difference thoughts on the usability of an available email address for the moderators is based on our vision of what it would be used for. i'm of a mind that it would be convient for those who want to voice a complaint to a mod without posting. this would serve to head of at the pass if you will, complaints before they get out to the general public.

an example would be......poster A doesn't like something i said but would rather remain anonymous as not to upset me, but still has a question. he sends the email to you, you reply with she's a nice lady and of course didn't mean it that way, he believes you, sees the error of his ways and we are all happy campers once again. being he's a wishy washy kind of guy anyway, he already has a spam account of his own, so it's no more work for him.

i don't see this as cencoship fuzzy, unless you wan't to extrapolate it into self cencorship and that's fine and dandy. if that were to take place more often we'd all be better off. while in the short term it might seem like things are escalating, in the long term it's this laying of the groundwork that will ultimately make the mods job and ours easier. we'll all know where we stand and i think things will run more smoothly.

you're welcome!



The references to "ME' in that example that would indicate that I was proposing this hypothetical working process, were part of the example as presented in the original post by Vavega. Those words were not mine.

I expressed a dislike for the concept largely for the specific reasons you are concerned about. So while I cannot speak for any of the other moderators, I never proposed a private off line e-mail system for user moderator interactions. Frankly I think the process needs to be conducted in the open.

I also agree that Vavega has a valid point that people should have some way to report abuses in the forums, that protects them from retribution. This idea is born out by the circumstances you describe in your post.

I also do not think that Vavega was in any way suggesting that a user should contact another user directly and confront them on abuse issues. I would not advocate that. That is a part of why I and the other moderators are here, you should not EVER have to deal with harassment as you describe from other users yourself.

Carl.h has correctly grasped and restated the thrust of Vavega's idea.

I hope this clears up the confusion.

@ Fuzzy

But the x isn`t working atm, it was suggested I think as a way around the problem... I presume you`d post an email to David Kim, why not the forums registered Mod ?

People do get frightened to post against others for numerous reasons Fuzzy...they maybe in the same team, it maybe a loyalty issue. They may just not want to get berated.

I am a grown up person and I am not scared not even of what comes in my email, so there are different levels.

As I say I think it was suggested as a temp workaround nothing more till the "x" gets going.

As Angus says, make the visible in all browsers and make it work!

And yes, I know there are some very trigger happy little fingers out there, and I know that Matt has to look at every of the reportings, but I suppose he looks at each of them and decide if it's really offensive or not.

Good for you that you can't get scared by mails. But mails from persons, who knows my name, adress, phonenumber, and with threats of what they'd do to me, was not something I could take as easy as you apparently will do. First when the police told me that they didn't consider these persons as really dangerous, I was able to "get used to" the mails!

And mailing David Kim is different for me, as I've mailed him before regarding some problems with WU's so he knows me and knows who I am. Mods come and go, and I don't know if I'm interested in any contact with any of you, knowing that you could be gone very soon. I have, in connection with the mentioned incident, been in private contact with Rom and Janus, and later Rob, so they know me as I know their mailadresses, and they helped me. But I have no intentions of being in personal contact with all the mods on every boards. Why should I?

So I can't emphasize enough that any jeopardy of my safety, and I'm outta here.

When the mods "do their thing" and move/hide/delete posts, and an email is generated to the poster, do the mods see the email account or get a copy of the email with the address visible? Do they have access to the email addresses of the account owners (us)?

I think that deserves a quick, public answer, and could very well impact how and if moderators are assigned.

NO, your interpretation of what i suggested is incorrect! no one will be sending you unsolicited emails.

what i suggested is if you want to contact a mod, you would initiate that contact by sending the mod an email to a special address totally devoted to rosetta. the mod would then mail you back to the email address you choose to give them. nothing more, nothing less. the process is totally under your control, no one elses and would be used for those times when you want to contact a mod in private, not as a post on the board.

No. The e-mails are generated directly by the server. The Moderator only fills in a form that provides about one line of text to be included in the e-mail to provide some explanation about what has been done. All of the rest of the message is automatic. The moderators never see it or any details of the users account and we do not get a copy of the message. Of course we do see the screen name of the poster in the post itself.

@Vavega:

Good to see other females around here. :-D Sometimes it's a little hard to tell who's female from their alias and avatars.

The has this function already, so all they have to do is to fix that bug in the code, that makes it invisible in IE, and then make it work.

And yes, I already do what you suggest over at Seti, the difference is that the mods, I've contacted there all are in the dev team, they are not "only" users, who are appointed mods.

@Angus:

I got this answer from David Kim, after I mailed my post to him:

Hi Fuzzy,

moderators do not have access to the email addresses. They only have
permissions to move/delete/manage the forum posts.

Sorry for the quick short reply but I don't have much time at this
very moment.

David K


This also makes it clear, that mods can't edit in posts, only move/delete/manage posts.

So, all in all, why make all this fuss about mailing mods, when the function is there already, ready to implement and use?

I haven't been keeping up with this topic so I apologize if I'm not contributing anything useful. I have IE, am using BOINC 5.2.13, and can see the at the Einstein msg boards but not here at Rosetta. Are you sure the problem is with BOINC and not something here at Rosetta?

Two issues have been reported to the R@H project team and subsequently to the BOINC developers in relation to issues brought to our attention here.

1) A bug exists in the forum code that inhibits proper display of the small "X" box in the ratings area for a post that would allow a user to report posts requiring Moderator and/or Administrator attention.
2) A Bug in the forum code that causes a failure of the last post date for a thread to be properly updated when a moderated post is moved to the thread or when a post is edited.

The BOINC developers report that the SETI project has implemented a local repair for the display issue on their forum, and that repair will be included in the next update of the BOINC server baseline forum software.

The date sorting issue will be looked at but it is not considered an issue of high significance by the BOINC developers. If the fix seems easy to implement they will do so, but if it is complex, it will be considered as part of the forum upgrade/rewrite now underway, and planned for deployment at an unspecified time in the future.

The question of providing a direct contact point for Moderators "off forum" was presented to the project administrators. Basically the answer from Dr, Baker is that the Moderators can handle this in whatever way they feel appropriate.

I will not speak for the other Moderators, but I am considering how to go about this so that the users privacy rights are protected while still producing a workable plan. Workable includes providing some way for the project Admins to keep oversight of the moderation function.
