Yay, this thread again. Must be a Thursday.

Hey Trin, instead of banning AC's, who admittedly probably provide good ad revenue, why not instead give us an option to upgrade blue names we appreciate? I did the whole registered thing a long time ago, just don't have the energy to maintain yet another online persona. But I would totally upgrade a few posters here that I appreciate. When I try, it just says "page not found".
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83640538


Yeah, I could do way better at monetizing this site if making money from it were my main objective.

Obviously it's not.

I have many business that I run.

I actually take steps to restrict the growth of GLP at times because it becomes unmanageable...

Also the bigger GLP gets the more risk operating it entails.

I have to weight that carefully at all times.

It's a labor of love, believe me.

It's my hobby.

It's like its own entity to me...

I don't really own it or control it....

I'm like its parent...

I have a fairly unique set of skills and resources required to protect, educate, and nurture it..

Eventually it will outgrow me :)

GLP, is alive...

It's a real-time collective of all our energy, all out thoughts.... LIVE.. REAL TIME....

Its like magic sometimes how it ebbs and flows...

Truly a beautiful thing to witness...

Each of you are like an individual cell in the body and mind of GLP...

It's pretty fucking amazing...

The thing is...

There's like a sweet spot where something like this can exist..

If it grows to big too fast, it will die.

The magic will be lost to obfuscation...

Sometimes I think of her as a magical ship sailing the sees of reality.

I’ll sign up as a member the day this site drops all the censorship. Banning for threats, p*rn and illegal things is understandable. Everything else is obnoxious.

I spent 25 minutes typing up a well thought out and articulated response to someone last week only for me to be banned for one of the mile long list of no-no words that no one can even keep up with because it constantly changes and has to be kept secret for some strange reason. The second I hit post, I got banned.
Ridiculous. gin

I have no idea what you’re trying to say to me. Your response to me sounds like something a bot would write.

I was commenting on a thread about dating and typing out a response about what needs to change in our society so it can improve for the better.

I am not a bot.. put on your mind about why certain things are banned here and why it shouldn't be fully free posting. I have lost a lot of posts here... some such reasons.. I should write long teaching posts in text editor.. so I can search for possible banned words.. I more than ever right now. am seeing posts that should have NO banned words go up in smoke.

I might have well enjoyed your post if it didn't go in smoke.
 Quoting: Mother Maggie


I’m not by any means saying it should be a free for all site. This place would be chaos if that happened.

I’m just saying the censorship is a bit out of control. At least offering a warning telling us what we aren’t allowed to say after hitting post so I can edit my thoughts and resend it would be nice.

I’ll give a good example. We can’t type out the B word that refers to people older than Gen X. It’s not even an offensive word but censoring people for it doesn’t make any sense. Nowhere else on the internet does that kind of stuff.

Not being allowed to mention other websites is pretty ridiculous too. It’s not even gonna direct any traffic away from this site. GLP has a certain charm to it that no one else can replicate.

How about mods just ban the trolls, of which there are a ton.
In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83640538


it's a good idea

you're right

also to be able to tip posters would be huge (glp would take a cut of course)

I should do that.

Maybe I will.

I'd have to figure out a way to do that though...

Guess you could only tip posters who signed up and provide a way for us to pay them anyway...

That's the thing of it, acs get left out.

maybe that's fair though
 Quoting: ^TrInItY^


Don't get me wrong - I totally get why it would be preferable for everyone to just sign up. But I do greatly appreciate the ability to stay anonymous - not because I am hiding any great secret, simply because I've dealt with and run a number of business and industry-related forums over the years, and I am just not interesting in maintaining an online persona anymore. I've been coming here since 2007 and as an AC most of that time. Sometimes I share useful bits of information or insight, others times I just like to stay up on the news. Or BS flag the occasional loony.

I do think you should consider some of those options. There could be some other ways for people to contribute to the site without having a registered account.
