Deleted Blog Posts

VictorT posted 2nd of June 2009 in . 16 comments.

"The Big Cleanup" was announced last week. This meant that we reviewed all content on Unity and removed everything which is out of the new Rules. This is still in progress but not as intensively as last week.

So, many posts containing attacks, off-topic, support issues, ads, etc in Blogs were deleted/hidden according to the Rules.

Starting from now, if the post is going to be deleted/made hidden by Moderators or Admins, the author of the post will be warned by Moderators or Admins via PM with a link to the point of the Rule they've broken.


The current moderation tools are not so refined at the moment, and we have mentioned this many times. So, we will try to make them as flexible and convenient as possible in D7.


If you see that your post has been removed and you can't figure out why, feel free to contact me at org@boonex.com


And, if others you see should be deleted, feel free to report it.

Thanks for your note.

We will do this when consolidating all into one system on BoonEx.com using D7.

That list was created mostly by one member for political reasons. MSSCOTT has retired, others on that list almost never contribute, and a few don't even have operational sites.

VictorT,

I am deeply grateful to you for this course of action. The new "rules" are comprehensive and clear and I for one will "comply".

When newcomers visit the Unity website they come to "feel the pulse" of Boonex and the Boonex Blog is the most personal and direct portal into the community environment. These "first impressions" must be good ones if we (the community) hope to prosper.

TWO THUMBS UP!!!!

Juker,
Pundit

Yes, but:
unfortunate truths must not be deleted,
the normal. we must manage the flow.

Please note...

we're not deleting posts that critique BoonEx constructively. Difference between "BoonEx sucks" and "Trac hasn't been updated for 2 weeks" should be clearly understood by Unity members.

we're now deleting every attempt to discuss personalities in Public. Be it a real-deal "issue" or just expression of dislike. This means that we're likely to delete a legit report of misbehaving Expert, for example, since we prefer to listen to arguments in private see more correspondence. In most cases we don't have means to verify claims, or someone's character.

we'll be removing any attempt to attack a person, instead of attacking an argument. Even if the attack is well-founded. So, things like "you can't claim that you can be a pundit BoonEx since you only advertise your services and never help others" will be deleted. The right way to put it is "I couldn't find any forum posts or blog posts of yours that answer others' questions. So, if you believe that you're competent enough to become a Pundit, please give us more details about your experience and provide links supporting this". Can you see the difference?

And finally, again, things are messy now they will get MUCH better when we release D7 and upgrade the site. We're holding of a lot of modifications until then.

I still don't understand why my blog was deleted - so I will just refrain from blogging again then.

Maybe I can help some of you see things from a different perspective:

A few months back unity member 'physicalmediums' asked her first simple question here in a blog.

Instead of the 'experts' giving her an answer they were very rude to her and said something along the lines of "If you are a medium you should already know the answer to that question".

I got similar treatment when I first asked questions here and I learned to ask my questions in Pms.

Thats mostly how I help also. see more When I see some one being treated rudely I answer their questions in private if I can or find them some one who knows the answer.


Unity has gotten to the point where we have certain people always on the attack. There is is at least one in this thread who has absolutely no interest in Dolphin at all and is only here to attack some one else.

In my opinion that is what the clean up needs to be about.

To rid the site of the negativity and clean it up so people can come here and post without being attacked or treated rudely.

Besides what you read on the open blogs there is a lot more going on than you realize in private behind the scenes.

"See my Site" Section
I´ve seen several members at Unity criticize the inclusion of links to commercial or personal sites. This happened, specially, when the posting member was advertising services.
As a newbie, I find these links, previews and samples to be of huge importance, since they not only allow me to test drive dolphin sites, but also give me an idea of what could be done with this software.
For advanced users it would also be a great way to see what others are doing and to see more promote their site(s).
Voting/rating/commenting could also be part of this as it is now with the Communities Section.
So, I thought it could be very useful to create a new section called somewhat like "See my Site(s)" where users could post links and short descriptions of their dolphin sites only. I know we can all see that, right now, if we browse each user and see their sites, but that´s something really tedious and could take a lifetime to accomplish.
Any comments, welcome.
Thanks & regards,
Hernán

This can be done in the communities section. Here you can promote your site, with a link to it. But not into blogs or forums. Keep things easy for everyone.

Hi Killerhaai,

I know something like this could be done in the communities, but the way it is built today is quite complicated to browse (at least for me).

It could be a start, but I´m taking about a directory of sites with a brief (searchable) description. The way it is today, you have to search trough pages and pages of sites under 1 category, without enough info in the short description so you have to enter to see...

You´re right in a way, though. Maybe a little tune up to the communities see more section would do just fine.

Regards,
Hernan
