Ed, Where Is The Rationale?

[choux]

I posted a GMEB thread at 03:16 today. Some 18 minutes later a duplicate GMEB thread was also posted. My thread was later removed.
Spare Ed has already posted:
"Avatar Image ABSpareEditorIn ChatterBank, there can be as many chats as you wish but please do not duplicate any threads. We don't need to have two morning threads and two afternoon threads...19:50 Tue 07th Feb 2023"

Why is consistency not applied?

Again it is clear there are factions on here, though it has been vehemently denied there are cliques. The point scoring, side taking and fighting between the factions is unseemly and childish, and if anything is likely to put off new members its this.
Add into this the tendency to have a pop at moderators who are trying to do an impossible and thankless task . I would suggest to these ABers that they put their own names forward as moderators instead of sniping from the sidelines. If folks dont like this post feel free to report it

Pasta. Mmmmm?

[pastafreak]

MissT...I DO read it...just for something to do, and notice things.

I wonder who will be first to lead school assembly in the morning? Didn't think school Easter holiday was over until Mon /Tues. : >)

[MissTerious2]

You can do it nicebloke.
Can we start with the hymn 'morning has broken'
I promise to behave!

[gness]

Morning has broken.

And that's you behaving?! :-))

[MissTerious2]

;0))

[nicebloke1]

Stop it now :•》

Don't forget, it's your own time you're wasting and other teacherly phrases from my childhood.

[MissTerious2]

Go and stand in the corner Douglas!

[david small]

Water-boatman would be dismayed at the bickering about this subject. For shame.

[douglas9401]

It's not holy scripture, david, it's a by-product of disturbed sleep.

Although Choux's thread shouldn't have been removed, there is no need for the pitchforks. Naomi24 knows how we feel about this saga. If anything, it's a learning curve.

We can't dictate who posts and on what, particularly in ChatterBank. All I ask is that there aren't duplicated titles.

No one can own a thread series. Without the contributors, it wouldn't survive. It's a collective.

[MissTerious2]

Just a simple question. I thought only eds could remove threads- and mods just close them or zap posts. So how could Naomi remove a post.

[MissTerious2]

I meant remove threads!

[naomi24]

Mods can remove threads, lottie - as I demonstrated. ;o)

[MissTerious2]

Thanks Naomi. After all these years, istill dont know the ropes! And I was a mod! Perhaps the rules changed. Can you remove threads with answers on?

[barry1010]

Yes, MissT, mods can remove threads with answers on

[MissTerious2]

So why cant mods see Reports and only the eds?

[naomi24]

Reports go straight to the Eds.
