Crumhorn, what if you were you? I nominated you, too, you know

I don't think Mig sent the wrong message at all. And enough with CF already. He is not an issue here. If Petrosianic could spam the server all he wanted and got away with it - THAT would have been the wrong message. The final "Notify"-spam may have been the final straw, but it was NOT the ONLY thing that was the problem. So the talk about Petrosianic "interpreting GC's guidelines strictly; more strictly than GC himself would have interpreted them" is, what's the word... unconvincing.



We are going in circles. You and I didn't have THAT many problems with Cf. And what was the point (of the bigger spam), anyway? That CF's posts are exactly like spam? Really? Says who? And to whom? I honestly don't understand not only the constructive idea that is supposedly behind the spam, but how can anyone can honestly think the spam was supposed to have made a point to someone. Those who hated/disliked CF still do it after Petro's "point". And those who didn't still don't. And those who didn't care one way of another still don't, though they may now think Petro is himself the bigger problem. I fail to understand what his target audience was. Was Petrosianic's idea to get CF's banned? That doesn't seem likely, as he was clearly putting himself at a greater risk. Or was it to convince Cf of CF's own wrong doing? That doesn't seem likely at all. The only people who are defending Petrosianic's spam are those who tend to think CF's posts aren't any better - but those people had thought the same thing about CF even before Petro started spamming, so he was really preaching to the choir. If he wanted to preach to the choir, it could have been accomplished without spamming.

Also, I don't understand the obsession with CF. Now that the president of the anti-CF society is banned, people are bringing up every single complaint they ever had against CF, but my question still stands - why not just Ignore CF if you find him annoying? granted, you can still see small parts of posts of the people you ignore in "Active Topics", but that is no big deal, given that you only get a small fragment of the posts and noone forces you to read that fragment, anyway. And yes, you still see the disabled posts of the person you ignore in the threads. But that is for you own convenience - so that you could read them if you decide to read one of them once in a while. It also let's you know there was a message there - so that you know you are missing a part of the discussion, as it could be a problem if you didn't know it.

I've said what I hope will be my last words on Petrogate in Ed's thread.

As for mod rotation, we don't seem to have a mob clamoring for the position. Perhaps Mig could sweeten the pot, as it were. Custom titles for life would be a good way to reward the weary and/or entice the foolish.

On the advice of my lawyers, I'm re-withdrawing my offer to moderate (whatever that even means at this point). Sorry about the back-and-forth.

in for supreme overlord, on condition of being granted power to arbitrarily apply filters to posts.

I want to be able to make sam hardwick's posts read like the swedish chef, TGC's in ebonics, and shornrum's in pirate.

If Crumhorn were truly me, he wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place, being of sound mind and stiff body (too much shovelling snow). As I am from time to time Crumhorn, I continue to persist in pursuing all things fruitless and batty (or is that batless and fruity?).

Speaking on behalf of Crumhorn, he doesn't want the gig.

How 'bout you, buckaroo?

fixed your post.

Is there any reason for the quote divs to not be sized to fill the container post div? It's tilting me.

It could happen if <div> tag is set to specific height (or width) and you specify the scroll to auto. But, more than my guess, a quick look at the stylesheet could help you.

Temporarily, to avoid this problem, you can simply avoid quote-inside-quote and go quote-after-quote (which you probably already know).

Strangely this look and feel problem happens on all browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari-on-IE). Shouldn't be that hard to fix it.

Top-class work, well-named! I laughed out loud.

PS Sorry for the content-less post. Hope I can get away with it just this once.
