Popular Post AudioDoctor Posted December 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2018 IMO the only moderating that should be done is the personal attacks. Some people need to realize/remember we are here to discuss something that brings us joy and while we can disagree on the specifics of the how, the end result is the same for each of us as individuals in our own systems. We're not all listening to one system and trying to bend it to our will, we each have our own and differing opinions are just fine.

We do know they will be very cold. The question you need to ask yourself is, do you think a USB cable made to meet the specs and not some fancy thousand dollar marketing scheme, will make enough difference in your system to justify the effort required?

Popular Post AudioDoctor Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 The mis-characterization of the dreaded Liberal Arts major is hilarious... You might be shocked to know that I went to the Liberal Arts College at Michigan, the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts... Yes, my degrees are in BioChem and Math however I also took 4 full academic years of English reading and writing, 2 full academic years of a foreign language, in my case German, Philosophy, Ethics, Art History (oh the horror) and on and on. You know what the benefit of it is? I have a well rounded education and can quote Shakespeare as well as do Chemistry and Math. I can read and write coherently, and I have an appreciation of the arts. In my humble opinion, I think EVERYONE should get a liberal arts education for their undergrad education. Perhaps more Liberal Arts majors and fewer Business majors and our world would be a better place. phosphorein, look&listen, Jud and 5 others 4 4 No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 First, @Jud I agree with everything except per thread moderation. Perhaps per section moderation would be better as well as a separate forum for the moderators to discuss and agree/disagree on actions to be taken to maintain some coherence in the moderation site wide as well as allow Chris his input and direction, it is his site after all. edit: I think that willy nilly per thread moderation via the OP would leave the place a mess. lucretius 1 No electron left behind.

If he/she was, I agree with you. If not, it was more likely written by someone with an engineering background. I can't imagine someone coming up with that headline by accident and not getting it right away, but if anyone can, it would be an engineer. No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 One way to keep moderation simple is to not moderate much, sort of like the current system, but with a tiny bit more that moderators could provide. However, I don't envision rogue moderators deciding on their own what is worthy of moderations and what isn't, bar an absolutely egregious violation of the rules or spam. I think a forum just for the Moderators to discuss the actions to take and come to agreement BEFORE an action is taken would be the best course of action. I am not a fan of moderation, but I can see the usefulness of it, but I also think having individuals "going rogue" so to speak would lead to even more arguments. No electron left behind.
