Why 'Message Automatically Removed' sucks today
-
Yeah, nice idea. Slashdot does the same thing, and I have the comments set to show *everything* just because I like to follow the off-beat rabbit hole threads. It has the added benefit of not even displaying the 'removed' threads if you choose not to see them, so you never even know that you're missing something. The CodeProject method is just a big tease in comparison - "Ha, something was here, but we're not telling you what it was! Oooh, and it was juicy too... full of controversy and nerdrage. Just the sort of post you'd have really enjoyed reading, but now you'll never know" :mad:

It would be enough if post voted below your threshold would disappear along with all replies. Lower your threshold, bathe in noise; raise it, and it doesn't exist. Instead, we get replies without context, which sucks.

If people are truly that sensitive then perhaps they should seek psychological help.

Sure, but the rule probably exists for a reason, I mean, Chris isn't a politician is he? :) [edit]to clarify: that means his rules probably make sense

Well, my reply to the donation thread was not about politics, however politics as you so like to call it is part of everyday life. The problem with people is that they consolidate, compartmentalize, and block out what they do not want to face up to.

So many threads of half-missing conversations. It's like listening to one end of a phone conversation, and all you can hear is "hmmm... aha.... oh yeah, I totally agree.... hahaha... Oh no she didn't!!..." Just because you don't want to read something someone said, doesn't mean you should vote for it to be removed so no one else can read it. Please, let me make up my own mind as to whether I should be able to see all the comments or not. Vote it down if you must, but removing half my reading material just because you don't like someones opinon or whatever is just plain annoying. There, I said it. 'Message Automatically Removed' sucks today (and every day actually).

Wanting to hurt or see harm done to others is indicative of a dangerous mental illness. Seek help immediately.

Hi Miszou, How about we make a bargain here : if you don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do, or how I should, or should not vote, I won't tell you what you should or should not think :) Just because one or more persons vote to remove a message does not mean that message is automtically removed ! I trust Chris and CP staff to do "the right thing" to keep the Lounge and CP a place that "nurtures community," and is "kid sister safe." I am sure the decisions they make about what to remove are deliberate, and well thought out.

Is there something stopping you right now from "making up your own mind" whether you read comments on a removed post, or any other posts ? Learn to stop reading things when they confuse you, unless you suspect/believe they contain content worth learning something from, and, imho, you will be more at peace. Of course : "being more at peace" could then deprive addicts of "SuckPosts" of their "daily bread" : the moral issue in that ... well, each of us must come to grips with that using hazardous-material evaluation and handling techniques of our own choosing. Also, think of this : allowing banned messages to persist in some form would then diminish the "spectrum of suckness,' impoverish the lives of those who live to write code like :
// I am pretty new to Linq : please feel free to "fix" (neuter, or spay) this code to taste
List<SpectrumOfSuckness.Posts.SuckPostTopicType> possibleSuckPostTopics =
new List<SpectrumOfSuckness.Posts.SuckPostTopicType>();possibleSuckPostTopics =

from suckPostTopic in SpectrumOfSuckness.SuckTopicswhere suckPostTopic.TopicFlavor == SpectrumOfSuckness.Flavors.Suckissimus orderby suckPostTopic.IrritationQuotient ascending select suckPostTopic)

Wanting to hurt or see harm done to others is indicative of a dangerous mental illness. Seek help immediately.
You state:
- If people are deranged, they should seek psychological help.
- You refuse to seek psychological help, because it will make you sexually impotent and chemically lobotomized.
- Wanting to see harm done to others indicates a dangerous mental illness.
- Those with a dangerous mental illness should seek help (presumably psychological) immediately.
Conclusion:
- You think others that are too sensitive should seek psychological help.
- Psychologial help is harmful.
- You wish that what is harmful (psychological help) to be applied to others (those who are too sensitive).
- Since you want to see harm (psychological help) applied to others (the too sensitive), you have a dangerous mental illnesss and should seek (psychological) help immediately.

I knew someone would reply with this. I was simply redirecting his evil wishes back to himself where they rightfully belong.

"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

Actually I think it takes 13 people to press the 'vote to remove message' button, after that the post get removed without intervention of Chris or the staff.

I understand where you're coming from, but the messages that get deleted are usually in extremely poor taste or racist and violate the KSS rule in some way or the other. People complained that removing the message caused lack of continuity, so Chris left the message with the placeholder, now people don't like this either. Sometimes I really pity Maunder.
