Plasma: It is your choice whether to follow the guidance you’ve received from moderators or to make up your own rules “based on the existing content here”. Since you haven’t said what you are afraid might happen and have indicated you are done with this thread, I guess I can’t help alleviate that …

Re: WinWorldPC and Archive.org

Please try to understand the distinction between not getting an answer and getting an answer that you don’t like. Multiple moderators and community members have shared with you what behaviour that is acceptable here and the reasons why things are the way they are. I can tell that this is intensely …

Re: WinWorldPC and Archive.org

I understand how comforting it can feel to see some bright line delineating exactly what is OK and what is not in every situation, and unfortunately I cannot offer that to you here. I know the vagueness of some of the rules and the perceived or actual inconsistencies in moderation can be frustrating …

I understand and sympathise with your frustration around this sort of decision making.

Re: Is anyone excited for the Nvidia 3000 series cards

in Milliways
Hi everyone. While it is OK to hold and express strong opinions, and to argue them forcefully, please do not make your arguments in a way which insults others. “I find this completely outrageous and wrong, and I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t agree” is OK. “I find this completely outrageous …

Re: Has USA ever looked worse internationally ?

This topic is now closed. I apologise to all of you who were trying to have a meaningful conversation on an incredibly important topic, but there have been several people—who are otherwise helpful and constructive members of the community, and are deeply appreciated for their positive contributions— …

Folks, This thread is turning into version 2 of the Coronavirus thread. Do not post unfounded conspiracy theories as to the origin of the riots. This is against the board rules. If this continues, this thread will also be locked or removed. Thank you.

Re: New forum suggestions/Feedback

Ok, I put it on my Google drive. https://drive.google.com/open?id=197dJGV2W7fZ353-T8IYIIt5QRIYC9lHq Thanks, you can remove that file now if you’d like.

Re: New forum suggestions/Feedback

Without them, it is impossible to tell at a glance what kind of thread this is. Is it a brand new thread you might want to jump in on? Is it a very active, large thread? Is it a build thread with lots of pages? Etc. Not so. The “replies” column gives you this information. [hr] Ok. It was taken with …
