A small correction:

Only the Xolox sub forum version information is closed.

And as Ursula said the Shareaza forum is now closed.

looks like someone has copied from developer's FAQ

And your sort of hypocrisy and game-playing are ok of course. No one in the real world could stand up against your above "test" so I assume you have a "thing" against all of us.
Thank you for showing us your true colors.

I don't know about others here, but I don't like the idea of you being the one to "band" this peacock, or cage us as your next display of power. We are not your personal pets.

The Shareaza forum has maybe 140 posts so far, none of which are flames that I see, so what was the reason to close it? Could it be that "thing" you have?

And technology can and will solve the problem of flames, if someone would just ask for some programming help.

I'll write a flame instantly...

Ursula: I came to the Gnutella forums because I had one question. I post only one question on many other forums. I have seen many one-time posts here and elsewhere. To say that not-requiring registration makes it easier for people who just want to ask a single question is not "speaking for others." The fact that I stuck around has nothing to do with it.


As to stopping flames: I don't like people who insult other people. However, other than deleting spam, I am wholly against censorship. Especially in a forum for those 13+ years old, I don't see any reason to delete "flames" or profanity. Putting the power of censorship into the hands of Moderators or even putting it up to a community vote is to transfer responsiblity away from oneself; if you don't like what someone has to say, ignore it.

To disallow someone from speaking his or her opinions because he or she is acerbic is flirting with an abuse of power.

As I said the mods ONLY discussed about the general forums, the client forums are up to the developers this includes bearshare, Xolox and Shareaza... the developers asked for it.

I can´t disagree more...

I am/was mod on four websites and there were always people who don´t understand that support don´t mean flaming at the people, so the job of a mod is sure to edit the insults and flames out, or we will loose many members that don´t flame because of some stupid trolls...

This is no censorship if some people are not able to act mature...

Morg, sorry you will have to be the only one now that responds to Vinnie posts.

To get by until a PHP script can be written, how about opening a anonymous posting area? When you post there you request your post to be moved to a particular thread.
Mods could check that area from time to time and click the move button if they feel that a post is worth it.

Or you can post your e-mail address and if there's something important, people can send you mail to post through anon mailers.

If this were a truly civilized forum... flamers would be searched out... given a fair trial... tied to the end of a long pole and drowned in a pond... but that's only me.

It would be a lot of more work for us...

we are thinking about an open forum for unregistered users, but we have to discuss your idea. I will ask CycloCide if and how it is possible...

Morgwen

P.S.:

Why you fear registration? We are not bad only crazy!
