November 2, 201410 yr Yeah, Chairman Mao is a role model. Good call.... Nothing says corruption and abuse of power like, "Mao"!
January 4, 20169 yr Probably safe to unlock this thread: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,27051.msg777690.html
February 16, 20169 yr I've always hated that Memorial Hall, Music Hall, and Washington Park were all in the same thread. But I never wanted to split them. I guess maybe just change the complicated one to be only about Washington Park?
February 16, 20169 yr Yeah, technically they could be three separate threads but that's up to the moderators whether they're willing to put in the time to split it all up.
February 16, 20169 yr We could just be lazy and prevent future contamination by directing all future posts into appropriate topics and kick the can down the road for a while. That would be my choice for now
March 17, 20169 yr If a moderator deletes a post, that moderator should be required to leave a post in that thread describing the violation. When MayDay deletes a post he leaves his calling card, so we all know who did it and why. Some moderators prefer their actions to be anonymous. It should be required that a moderator gives reason for their deletion.
July 29, 20168 yr I'm wondering if any moderator can speak to the recent deleted posts in the "Cincinnati: Over-the-Rhine: Development and News (non-3CDC)" thread. There was a post two weeks ago regarding an observation made during second Sunday and then a subsequent post from yesterday from the individual called out where he explained his side of the story. Both posts are now deleted, after the individual posted his side of the story.

It should be required that a moderator gives reason for their deletion. I get as frustrated as anyone when a discussion I’m in gets frozen because of a sidebar urinary competition, and have thought that myself. But as a pretty experienced moderator some other places, I’ll tell you that sometimes when you do that it simply stirs things up even more. Possibly a thread on this board when significant deletions take place, with only moderators allowed to post but anyone can read?
December 3, 20168 yr ^We have something along those lines for the Admins/Mods to keep tabs on threads that are pruned. Thing is, whenever 'significant deletions' take place, it's not like it's rocket science as to why - half of the pruned posts usually have "well, not to go further off topic" or similar sentiments. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
December 4, 20168 yr I want to be a mod. I believe I have sound judgement and a great temperament. Donald Trump becoming president has really made me optimistic in that I can do absolutely anything I set out to do. :)

June 27, 20195 yr Quote P.S. I would ask you not to quote DaS to me. I've had him and jonoh blocked since January as part of my New Year's resolutions and it really has restored much of the enjoyment I used to get from these forums. I'd rather not see their content even indirectly. If moderators are free to block ("ignore" is probably the action taken within one's profile) as well as to request others not quote those forumers simply because they dislike their opinions or point of view, I would submit non-moderators should then also be allowed to block moderators for the same reason.

June 27, 20195 yr 20 minutes ago, GCrites80s said: People do not like being told they are blocked or ignored, I've noticed. Perhaps so, but it's a feature these boards do offer. I defend people's rights to speak (including, for example, defending freefourur, notwithstanding my serious political differences with him), not the obligation of others to listen. And in my case, I did listen, and frequently respond, over a course of months or years to the people I finally blocked when I determined that further discussion would be unproductive, would create additional board clutter, and would reduce my personal enjoyment of this site. I don't honestly don't know if my mod status prevents people from blocking me (whether they're people I've personally blocked or not). I can see why it might, actually, so people don't miss general moderator warnings about threads getting overheated or off-topic or missing necessary links and cites. But if it doesn't, I would not be at all offended if such people blocked me in return.
June 27, 20195 yr 5 hours ago, GCrites80s said: People do not like being told they are blocked or ignored, I've noticed. Don't really care (knew about it from Gramarye several months ago, actually - it only recently escalated him to asking others to not quote me or jonoh81). But it seems a bit hypocritical to allow a mod to block users (which, fine, again it doesn't really matter) but not allow those users to block said mod or mods. If that's how it is, how the admins want it be, fine. It just seems like that perhaps it's a flaw in the new system that hasn't been brought up before because no one has come across it. Very Stable Genius
June 27, 20195 yr I figured this would be closed kinda like wherever the refs go at halftime. edit Back in the day i thought I read on here there is a way to find out how many have blocked an individual but might be from other site I use to go in Edited June 27, 20195 yr by Mildtraumatic
August 10, 20195 yr Moderator: can you please loosen the chains on the nucleus thread. it has been locked for quite some time.
September 11, 20195 yr Moderator: Can you pick-up & transfer the recent convention center talk that is in lakefront development thread into the new Convention Center thread
