Yes, I hear that as my home's been broken into. What about our forum members who continually accuse others of being real names. Isn't that far worse that what the papers ever done?  ???

Who/what has received sufficient criticism in the ALTrib reader responses that could "influence" a change in policy?  The Chamber of Commerce? Tuttle?  Harig???

Once again the few selected or chosen ones have prevailed with the local paper.  Once again people will be silenced.

Once again this forum will thrive more because of a denial of peoples rights.

This forum also operates this way but not at the low of the Tribune site.

There has been Moderators that have edited posters wording. Mod's have deleted posters that have posted facts that are true. Mods have even deleted truth that was posted about themselfs.

My question is ; if Mr. Chad Hayson was elected County Commisiner and the public and posters on here were to ride his coat tails every time he made a questionable move in the publics eye , would Mr. Hayson and the Mods screen the info? Now I'm not saying MR. Hayson wouldn't do a good job as Commisioner. I will vote for the person I feel will do the best job. Mr. Hayson or not.

I know in the past that there has been court records and public records that have been posted on this site about others , but then when court public records were posted on here about Moderator MADDOG that info and poster was deleted?    :dunno:

There are very few rules to this forum.  Sometimes wording is changed or deleted because it is too explicit.

If you're uncertain, go back and read the rules.

Scary,
 As per the website (newly designed and all), it operates at full potetntial for FireFox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer. I have the OPPOSITE problem as you, since on my cell I run Starfire (a cool browser app for Windows Mobile without the headache of Windows). On the cell, the Trib looks normal. On the home comp, it looks new and refreshed. Of course, one of the ariticles on there are from Mark Harig and about how he is the best. I looked at about 5 different stories, and only ONE had a new post on it..and suprise suprise, it was the first and last name...with a pic. My question will be, are the people going to be required to have their personal pic, or could they go with a more incognito option (provided that the user name will actually be what is displayed, and not the actual name)? I am with about 95% of you guys...expect a gradual, yet sudden increase shortly..

I once had a thought...then it ran off before I could remember what it was...

There's only been one word edited in the last couple weeks, and that was by me because it was too sexually explicit.  We let people say damn near whatever they want on here, even about us.  The forum is pretty open, but we'll never make everyone happy.  We're either upsetting people because we don't edit & delete enough, or that we do too much.

As for court records, you're mistaken, myself and others have removed plenty of records about private individuals on here.  It's not just if it's "one of us" like you're thinking.  There's a few other people in town I don't even know who I removed court records about and warned the poster.  It hasn't been a problem for quite a while though.

Can you smell Joe The Plumber in the house? He has a very distinct smell. :;):

This is the best forum I've ever been to. You can post pictures, embed video, moderator's are cool since JimHanson disappeared. :D  
Just don't take everything so seriously around here, like I do.. :deadhorse: :rofl:

This is awesome on the Tribunes part!

No body is limited to what they can say at all...

...you just have to stop being cowards and stand behind what you say by using your name.

Few of you did anything positive for any of their forums anyway-you won't be missed.

The Trib had a good party going on (their forum) and a few jerks showed up (anonymus posters) and ruined it for everyone. So now it's an invite only party.

(...but it's easy to get on the list!)

See ya there!

-ROBERT HOFFMAN

PS

Its funny how much of a deal has been made of this already...there much larger issues that need to be corrected that we should be putting our combined efforts into.

Take care all. -Hoffer
