Can we please continue this chat outside the Project Outages thread? It's probably interesting information and all, but it has nothing to do in this thread.

I have hidden Michael's post for now, he can repost all this fine information as long as he changes one thing.

Don't get it from Softpedia, its size is wrong. Most likely not an official upload there.

I left it in the hands of the moderators, they didn't seem to feel action was necessary, so we leave it at that.

Thank you all, that was enough (US) politics in this thread for now. I don't mind you talking politics, but then start your own thread outside this one, and keep it civil.

Keep it cool everyone. While I understand it necessary for the narrative on what happened, I'd rather that you don't discuss moderator action taken on other boards on these boards. I've removed one offending post, let's keep it at that. Discussion is fine, even heated, but as Gary said, you can easily do so without being abusive.

Edit: and as just had been shown by someone not reading what I wrote, I don't allow ANY abuse anymore. If you cannot post without having to be abusive, or challenge others about anything while calling them anything, be prepared to get a vacation.

I'll revive this thread as the spammers now use it as a target to necromance.

We allow a lot to be said around here, but flaming moderators is a big no no, remember that, all.

Okay, this morbid humor stops here. Any next infractions will be dealt with accordingly.
Goes for Peter as well.

Stickying this thread, as it appears it's still a problem.

I knew I still had to change that, thanks for reminding me. Sirius B had it first. He should keep it, I'll change mine.

Oh and er.... you're arguing with me right now.
If you don't like the answer, the other side is arguing with you?
I answered you in as neutral a way as possible, but since you seem to try to get into an argument - considering the rest of your answers to my post - I'll do my next best thing and not answer you anymore. Have a nice day.

It's not those rules that get broken, it's "special ones" that apply in these threads only.
There are some community rules yes, which you'll get to know if you're here long enough and try to learn instead of telling everyone that you're the new alpha dog and that none of the previous rules apply to you. There's also netiquette and common courtesy.

And it's not always stated which moderator is upset.
When posts are hidden you can see on the email that's sent out automatically whodunnit. Too bad the forum banishment code doesn't state which moderator did it. But in this case you know as they made themselves known on the forum and you answered them.
And they ignore PMs.
Try being friendly.

It would be quite funny though if they banned 50 users at once - that was the promise, so if an argument occurs, I expect to see many people disappearing.
The promise was made after you were banished. I know, as I wrote it. So the next time you get banished, you'll probably not be the only one.

I honestly have no idea what it is that upsets you about my posts.
If you want to know, PM the moderator who posted that. We're not discussing this on the boards. As for rules, look to the left of the window in which you formulate your answer, and before hastily pressing Post reply, consider that what you write isn't against anything in those rules.

All right. If you want to do politics in this thread, then don't complain about politics being done in this sub-forum when you find it elsewhere.
And as politics go, they'll be heated. But make notice of the warning I put in the other thread, flamers and baiters will get Barn Owl's vacation vouchers to spend in our penal colony in NK (that's Nether Kellet for the uninitiated). It's only up to you if you want to and for how long that is.

So, want to discuss politics? Fine.
But keep it civil. And if you can't, then just don't discuss politics.

Let me warn everyone that in the future flame baiting will get you the same vacation time as the person taking the bait. In other words, use the filter option on the forums or mentally ignore the other party, but we won't allow more flame fests as that have happened here.

Post:
Also, can't BOINC remove the project from their list?

If we're to remove every project from the list that one person finds something about, we've got nothing left.

Now I don't mind you posting this here, but do know that we cannot help you. BOINC is just a managing program, we don't tell projects how they run their project or how they want to use BOINC for their purpose.
